57 – GBS Just dont get too ‘wet’ inside!!
I am worried about you and Sharkie now….!! 🙁
SuperBul – Keep on their case!! lol
superBul the comment about Lions haveing a better chance of reaching the finals, am Blonddddddddddd took me a while to catch you were jokeing.
BB you must go and look i wished them luck , but it looks more serious than i thought
superBul @60 that sounds how it should be.
Force are tired come on Lions do your 4 try trick, now
superBul what is post 63 about
64
Those days it was also easier to fire them when they were exposed.
Now they all want 3 year to build a team.
63 – Superbul, I know….They need a firm hand I feel…You are that man!!
RT’s reputation could be at stake!! 😆
Matt Dunning the despicable Quogga thrower, hope he gets crunched.
66 3Hugs it is the website WTR, i made peace with them but the site is closed today. I wished them to win today
superBul i do think that if you have a young team the coach does need a bit of time to build or if the team is comeing off a really bad coach.
Dont know the url of it, didnt know you had had a squabble with them, but did read somewhere that they didnt like their team critisised.
68
BB they were over sensitive, i do give everyone some gas, but what i saw coming , happened. I am not claiming to be a prophet but one looks from outside and give advice.
There is peace between us now so lets leave it today, they are hurting today.
HUH ! you wished them a win i gave them a win today on bru, really thought they had the ability to beat the Force but was wrong again, they playing really dreadfull.
We’re sitting inside… air conditioned conditions… but the Press Box is cooking, every Tom Dick and Harry and Tjarkie is here…
superBul have never seen you being unkind.
GBS you still upright then and can type 😆
72
I understand their thinking now, they tried to create a very positive site and we came in , hard on them and i was severe, predicting that i would talk to them after their 4th loss, that was really what i felt would happen with DM there. Now that 4 is getting out off hand , sheeet that was almost forgotten history , that long losing streak…………..
73 _ Super I was talking about GBS and Sharkie….Not the WTR lads!!
Good lads at WTR, they have a good site going…..I wish them well!!
Just wish the Lions would perform for them….The site is stronger than the team!!
oh no Force scored again, will be useing my head not my heart next years superbru, REMIND ME.
I have to go – See you Hugs, sorry enjoy the match but I hope your team loose!! 🙂
SuperBul – Shout for the Bulls for me, we are feeding 10 tonight and will miss the match.
GBS and Sharkie – What can I say – 🙂 Enjoy Loftus
GO BULLS…
I really empathise with Lions supporters, dont like to dwell on it, it actually upsets me when a South African team does really badly.
bb , go well , enjoy
81@ BB – Cheers
Fark, I think I picked the Farce by 18 on Bru…. they are already 21 ahead now…
81 – Blue Bird you have 10 people to entertain?? You will be busy, busy, busy as a bee……hehehe (That is Ash’s saying when he is busy)
Sharks in a bit of trouble without Bissy but you never know.
Also THE RAIN IS BACK ON!!!!!!!!!!!! Not good for rugby this.
Blue Bird byeeeeeeeeee you nasty tart, thought you would be online for your team, if they loose its your fault. hahahahahahahahaha
84 – Gbs, How is the weather there? Tell Sharky howzit and to give you Bully Boys a hard time……hehehe.
87@ Puma – It rained a while ago, so the field is wet and slippery, no rain now
Off to make decafe for the SHARKKKSSSSSSSS game, nerves are shot, going to be up and down to the loo the whole time, happens when i am nervous 😈
82
I really dont feel better , with their implosion, but some off them must go and think what they said in the beginning. Some wanted harm on the players that left them, they wished Jaque to fail, and still feel that the guys that was lost to the Sharks are no good.
