lambie4 doesnt touch the ball by our tryline and the force player loses the ball forward he says lambie scrat6ched the ball back , slowmo showqs ref is mad
\

ok back top work lol
59 – Turk, That how it feels to me too. No motivation out there. Should though. This is the last game of the S14 for the Sharks ever. Next year it is the S15…hehe.
At least they get a break after the game today. Just hope we end with a win.
Multitasking here, doing 2 Computers whilst blogging and updating here
74 – Sharky, I know that was never a plenty with Lambie there. This ref how he made it back to ref a S24 game is shocking. He was dropped. There we have a great ref as a assistant. Crazy I tell you.
Puma, what i don’t understand is why the other teams don’t have a problem with motivation, just us saffas.
@73 Thanks Turk, got it and it works!
Puma, it’s so frustrating that the sharks don’t close out games and always leave us supporters clenching our knuckles 🙁
Sharks are good one minute and lethargic the next… very frustrating
80@ Bluepete – Seems you are in Bangladesh…
Sharks about 8 m out…
Penalty Sharks, 10m out, on the 5m line from the side
Pienaar going for touch
@83 Nope, in Kabul
Lineout 5m out
Try Jacques Botes!!
I wish the springbok coach would make an announcement stating that ” The Boks play against foreign teams, not local teams, so if you are not motivated to beat foreign teams, you won’t be considered for the Bokke”!
Try sharks. Much more like it.
Looking back at post 78. Some stupid mistake by me again….hehehe. Meant S14 and penalty.
