VRYSTAAAAAAaaaaagh fluck!
Helloooooooooooooo
Fark… where’s the game on TV?
Fark, everybody in SA had Sydney Time wrong… SuperSports’s TV schedule too…
The game starts at 08:10 SA Time.
I thought this is strange, looked at My Sydney Clock on my 1 PC, where I feature the Important Rugby Clocks on the Desktop… and boom… 16:10 Sydney Time is 08:10 SA Time
Morning GBS, you preaching again!!!
5 @ Just For Kicks:
Hellloooooooooo
Me preaching??
Hahahaha
@ grootblousmile:I don’t understand, I knew it was at 8.00 am this morning
GBS, you missed one of the most disappointing matches in the history Super Rugby last night
Fark, I see the Cheetahs freegin threw the game away yesterday!
Was good for my Bru, having picked the Landers… but damn man, would have loved it if the Cheetahs won!
7 @ Just For Kicks:
I originally had the Game Scheduled to start at 07:10… as did EVERYBODY else in SA, including SuperSport, Rugby 365, Sport24…
… but the time was ALWAYS going to be 16:10 Sydney Time, which means it is 08:10 SA Time… and not 07:10 SA Time
It seems to me that they have absolutely no belief in themselves. Definitely a psychological thing. Remember how they went to pot every time Juan Smith wasn’t there? Well when Goosen was injured last night, that is the precise point that they started to go backwards again. Not because he was subbed, but it was almost as if they knew that he would be out of the game for a while.
They were in a different game in the first half, the same game in the first 20 of the second, and then it was just like a horror movie.
Had a good night out last night… except for the one freegin tannie who wanted me to come dance with her the whole time!
Look, I like music… in fact I love music… but there is only 1 thing I do less of than to sing… and that is to dance… and I do not even sing in the shower!
Needless to say… I did not farking dance!
@ grootblousmile:I don’t know where I checked then, but I always had it at 8.10
11 @ Just For Kicks:
Fark, I recorded the Cheetahs match.. so I’ll have a look later.
12@ grootblousmile:I’m with you there, got 2 left feet – drives the ball and chain nuts, because I won’t/can’t dance either!!!!
Game ON!
Penalty Saders, kick at goal… missed by Tom Taylor
15 @ Just For Kicks:
Fark, one has to have some rhytm and muscical co-ordination to dance… and let’s put it mildly… I was’nt exactly blessed in that department when talents were bestowed… I got added brains in stead…
Hehehehe
14@ grootblousmile : Don’t forget to draw Loosehead a ‘get well soon’ card, he was taken into Valkenberg last night, kicking and screaming, apparently having been taken over by demons. He was seen trying to fend off ghoulish monsters, and some bloke with a chainsaw and hockey mask. When he came round all he could say was, “but I just sat down with a whiskey to watch the Cheetahs match. I don’t remember anything else”. When the cops checked his bedsit, they only thing out of the ordinary was the Match on telly playing in a loop.
19 @ Just For Kicks:
Hehehehe
Saw that Plonker had a Stinker again… freegin chop!
10 Minutes gone, still no score…
My Bru pick for this one is Saders by 7.
Tryyyyyyyyy Pakalani for the Tahs!
I had a very good lunch in Hermanus yesterday, what I thought was going to be me and a couple who we are travelling through Namibia with, but ended up being about 20 people. Only just made it back to host the Cheetahs game with literally 2 minutes to spare!
Waratahs 7 / 0 Crusaders
22 @ Just For Kicks:
Sounds good….
20@ grootblousmile:What amazed me, was how he undermined his TJ, Twice. First the TJ had a perfect view of an infringement, and suggested a red card – quite correctly, but Jonker changed it to a yellow and white, and then even more unbelievably, when the same TJ stuck his flag up for a foot in touch, he allowed the game to go on. He clearly saw the TJ, but said, “we’re playing advantage”. Unbelievable
Tryyyyyyyyyyyy Robbie Freaun
Great try Frueun
Waratahs 7 / 7 Crusaders
25 @ Just For Kicks:
Going to definately watch the match later… and see for myself… it’s a crying shame man!
This match is quite lively, hey!
