Another Blues shot at goal
Blues 13 / 3 Lions
Nee flippit, ek gee nou ook boedel oor met hierdie bleddie Leeuens ….
Mapoe is uber kak…
93 @ Pietman:
Janee…. hulle gee ons nie juis rede om te bly veg vir ‘n Super Rugby spot vir hulle nie
Deon van Rensburg cops a yellow card
Blues opt for the scrum from the penalty
Luckily Ali Williams knocks….
Lions penalty, quick tap…. and they go freegin backwards…. and the Blues get a penalty.
Nee goeie flok!
Tony Houtvoël subbed by something freegin weird!
Try Alby Mathewson
That has to be the most amazing scrum I have ever seen. Cronje just stood and watched. A-bloody-mazing
Fark, replace Ross Cronje with someone decent, please!
Blues 18 / 3 Lions
CJ van der Linde and Martin Bezuidenhout on as subs
Freegin hell…. Blues will pass the Lions on the Log…. and once again the Lions will be stone last…. if it continues this way
I promised myself I would not pick the Lions for a win again this year, and then later also promised I would not pick the Blues for a win.
Well, for this game I had to choose one of the 2…. nearly went for a draw…. luckily I picked the Blues
18 Minutes to go in this mess
Somehow, the Lions play seems so 1 dimensional, all the opposition teams can read them like a book
CJ plays from totally offsides… man how dumb!
Blues penalty
@ grootblousmile:
Lions playing like deathrow inmates in the yard, knowing there is no future in whatever performance they might come up with; their fate is n ‘feit soos n koei'(faite a’compli), soos daai Namakwalandse prokureur altyd gese het….
Phweeeew….
111 @ Pietman:
Ja, die ligte is aan maar niemand is tuis nie….
Kukste game of the season so far, and that’s also ‘n feit soos n koei’….faaark, wat het my besiel om hierdie brandsiek spul Leeuwens te pick!
Lyk hulle treur oor Doppies wat gaan waai…
This is really painful to watch at the moment
111 @ Pietman:
Het mos eendag vir ‘n Terdoodveroordeelde gaan besoek (ongeveer 1988), die middag laat voor hy die volgende oggend gehang is…
Hy was klaar “afgeskakel” ….
Was moer kak!
@ grootblousmile:
O flok, hoe gril ek nou!!! Kan my voorstel…’dead man walking’.
11 Minutes to go in the freegin match
Each week we say the Lions match is the kakkest game of the w/end, and each new week it just seems to get worse. I think that the whole team have resigned themselves to the fact that they won’t be there next year, and are just playing to finish the season. Or thats how it looks from the outside!
117 @ Pietman:
Hy was een van 4 wat ‘n vrou daar in Klerksdorp in die bak van ‘n kar gesit het en die kar aan die brand gesteek het… hy was die belhammel van die 4.
Dit was woes om die hele atmosfeer te belewe daar in die dodeselle by Pretoria Sentraal gevangenis…
