@ Just For Kicks:
Yip, and each week dom Pietman backs them on superbru, no wonder he is licking stinking toes on the log,,,,,
What you can say, is that this is end to end stuff, its just how they completely fluff it when they get to the other end. Both sides that is.
Fark Lions… just get a converted try or something for my Bru, please…
@ grootblousmile:
Onthou so iets…nee wat dan moet hy maar swaai my maat, nie genade vir sulke wetters nie.
John Mitchell looks dumbfounded, resigned… moertoe!
120@ grootblousmile:Can see why you’re going into the coffin business – they talk about trying to relive your youth, but you’re taking it to a whole new level! Hehehe
@ Just For Kicks:
Cheeky’s Kings may well fit in with this lot, just….
124 @ Pietman:
Was MOERRRRSE nuus daai tyd… hulle was dienspligtiges.
Die hele land het geweet van daai ding.
Sy een mater het ook doodstraf gekry, ander 2 lewenslank… en die ander terdoodveroordeelde is begenadig na appel ensovoorts…
126 @ Just For Kicks:
Nobody can say I did not have an interesting life so far.
Many miles on the clock… some interesting kak along the way.
Jantjies is soooo kak on defence, no effort… no aggression, no effect
Stuff this, I am going to my wine room, syphon some homebrew …..
127@ Pietman:Well, one things for certain, the Kings cannot do any worse than the Lions, who are now guaranteed bottom spot on the log after the weekend!!!
Hooter goes… Blues try
Try awarded to Luke Braid
Blues 25 / 3 Lions
@ grootblousmile:
Onthou daai storie van die dienspligtigs vaagweg….
Daar kuk die Leeuens finaal, faaaark me McGyver! Can you believe this!
Horrible, horrible game. Lions, you’ve really embarrassed the SA Conference this week, I am afraid. Perhaps you had better just go.
Final Score: Blues 25 / 3 MTN Lions
demm…picked Blues by 6…..way off
For me, Taute was the only Lion on the park tonight
Picked the right winner on Bru… margin farked to bits though
@ grootblousmile:
Vrou hier op skype, gaan voorlopig noem van julle koms, net hoor van haar planne Namakwaland/Namib toe. Praat later.
136 @ Pietman:
Ja man. hulle het met die kar oor die vrou gery ook, voor hulle haar in die boot gegooi het en die kar aan die brand gesteek het.
Was woes.
Die ou wat gehang is, se ouers het ons gevra om hom te probeer red van die galg, na hy reeds skuldig bevind was, reeds gefaal het met appel en die Staatspresident hom reeds nie begenadig het nie.
Ons moes basies sy teregstelling uitgestel kry, sodat ons opsies kon oorweeg.
Was ‘n Dringende Aansoek in die Hooggeregshof daai aand… ons het nie geslaag nie.
Maar as jy kyk waar hy vandaan kom… pa in en uit die tjoekie, ma ‘n hoer, pa moer vir ma gereeld… hy het ook maar nie kanse in die lewe gehad nie.
Ek het nie geslaap daai nag nie…. flokkol!
Hy is op ‘n Donderdagoggend, 05:00 gehang…. hulle het altyd op ‘n Donderdag oggend gehang….
Hulle is seriously useless. Om i span nie sover te kry om i enkele game te wen in 9 games nie is i obsolute skande en teleurstelling
@ Just For Kicks:
I agree totally. It’s embarrassing to be a lions supporter. Truly messed up.
Cronje seems incapable of passing the ball without first taking 3 steps laterally and therby putting his backline under MASSIVE pressure.
Cheers Lions. It’s been good supporting you in S15, but I think it’s time to go back to your roots and start again.
Clearly the gap between the CC and S15 is too big for the Union to breach.
