@ Puma:
Agreed, that’s the one thing I hate and luckily it does not really happen on R-T
The personal insults there players have to endure on blogs is pathetic, If n oke has a shit match, rate him a 3 for example and say he was poor on the day,
179 @ grootblousmile:
And you should…. 🙂
@ Puma:
177
agree, and normally one tries to stay calm, but demmit , if you lose a game by some inept performance someone must be blamed.
Well this made my day , getting here in time for some opinions from my great friends
If all is said i am logging out, have a great evening
181 @ Sharks_forever:
Exactly that is how it should be done, not rip the poor player apart with some digusting names. I have read it on many sites. Just not great to read that. Saying a player played poor or not up it in that game, say why but not run the player down in a bad way. Just about every player has a off day or two, that happens.
Look I will be honest, I did call Meyer a ‘idiot coach’ I was so angry with his selection and game plan by the end of the RC and for letting Lambie waste away on the bench where we could have used him and probably have won in Mendoza. Anyhow all gone and dusted now. I know it was wrong and have apologised on this site for saying that. I just hardly do it. It takes a lot for me to get to that stage, I did eventually. I am okay with him now though even if we stick to the tried and tested game plan. Peter also at the start of his Bok Coaching career made me very angry but after 2009 I enjoyed him very much and supported him from then on. I never called Peter names though. I met Peter as I have said here many times, he is such a top class man and have huge respect for him. I know he said funny stuff and confused us a lot but he is such a decent person. Meyer comes across as a top class person and very decent too.
So, how do you guys objectively rate the Southern Kings locks… hehehe
185 @ superBul:
Nee flok… jy kannie NOU gaan pis en rus nie!
183 @ superBul:
I know and we can blame the player but not trash the player in doing so.
Wonder what happened to Turky… he probably received an Italian Lolita as a present for Christmas….
Okay everyone. Going to watch a dvd now.
Enjoy the rest of your evening.
Catch up tomorrow.
@ grootblousmile:
waaroor gaat ons nou praat?
I saw the Bulls locks, they look secure, you agree.
190 @ grootblousmile:
He mostly blogs when the games are on. Otherwise hardly see him, but always here with the live games.
Okay that is me out of here for now.
Catch up tomorrow.
@ grootblousmile:

192 @ superBul:
Ten minste is ons site nog aan die gang en lewendig die tyd van die jaar.
194 @ superBul:
Don’t know if he likes the blow-up stuff… hehehe
Good night Puma, i must say one thing moreto you.
Last year the Sharks started late, but according to news today they are very active at the moment, some early victims reported.
OK, I see evrybody bailing now… so greetings Earthlings… see you on the otherside of one night’s darkness.
@ superBul: Where did you read that Super?? eish you saying we already have more injuries?? Luckily February is still far away lol
OK then this is official i am also out
199 @ Sharks_forever:
Yip, the rest of your hookers broke down… and your locks are’nt well either but they did’nt need to break down for us to know that… hehehe
Oh, and Fransie Steyn fell over Lambie’s ego….
Well now that everyone has bailed I guess I will too lol
