@ grootblousmile:
Think the Frogs will just sneak the win.
@ Blue Bird:
Good to hear from you – you must encourage other ex-Voldy’s to join our ranks – Grant, Robzim etc – I’m sure you have their details.
Trust you not doing too much running or cycling right now.
150 @ Gumboots:
We talk about Voldy here, not Keo… hehehe
The Dark side….
@ Puma:
Puma ‘Me old Darlin’ xxx I have missed you xxx
Hey, it was sad to see Keo crash and burn like that. It was an interesting environment and I have met some wonderful people through it.
I would have thought Keo would have said ‘Cheers’ to his bloggers, we must have earned him something with all our hits!! lol
How are you and things in Umshlanga??
@ Blue Bird:
3 X Draughts, now a wee brandy & coke zero is in order.
Biltong? Maybe tomorrow! 🙂

Yep
I bookmarked some of Skop’s greatest hits, especially when the Stormers beat the Sharks and he let HG, Fern, Kaki and Predawn have both barrels
Come on Scotland, show some grit, man!
Scotland need to naturalise some SAFFAS, Islanders and Argies.
@ nortierd:
I can just imagine…
@ Gumboots:
I have rooms here at the farm reserved for Grant and Robzim, hopefully Just Rugby too for the Rugby World Cup!!
We had some fantastic laughs of Keo especially the Night Owl slot. RT is different and the best place to blog during matches!!
Handbags…..!! lol
Jeez, the scrums are a heap of shit on this pitch!
Handbags… goodie!
@ Blue Bird:
We can change all that… bring the buggers across and bury whatever hatchet may exist… Politics is a bugger… but those chats used to have me in stitches at times…
England scrum penalty… fark it is a lottery on this nematodial cess pool pitch
163 @ Gumboots:
No hatchets this side… we are way past that.
Maybe the SRU should move their games to Hampden Park or somewhere.
This pitch is not going to improve.
@ IAAS:
I am not doing the Argus this year, so glad not to be cycle training this winter, about as appealing as playing rugby in the Scottish mud! However I am training for my first Half Marathon in May, I may have peaked too soon, I ran 13 miles 2 weeks ago just to see if I could do it!!
Another England scrum penalty… on the Scotland 22… will be a shot at goal
Farrell pulls it again and misses left again
@ grootblousmile:
No I know that… the message must go out…
Bygones are just that… it would be nice if this site can become all that ‘Voldy’ could have been…
As Carol says – no goodbye or middle finger from the bloke…just packed up and moved on without thanking anyone…
155 @ Blue Bird:
Never though old boring me would be missed…hahahaha. I am always well only the knees are getting worse so might do them this year have to see. Want to play more golf so will have to if I want to do that.
Had my Scots mates here for 2 months so no time to blog.
Yes thought after all the blogging we all done on keo he could have said something. The best times were the nighowls but that was so many years back, you were part of it as well, we all had plenty laughs back those days. Now we here now on RT and more will follow so hope you blog more with all of us here especially during Super Rugby.
Are you in training for anything this year? As you said last year you not doing the Argus this year. Are you going skiing at all this time?
Yellow Card for Scotland… No 6 Dunbar
I Can’t for the life of me understand why Farrel went for posts.
He obviously has no confidence in his footing.
Naughty Scot, come on England
@ Blue Bird:
You need to do the Two Oceans – half marathon or ultra… Great run and great race…
170 @ Gumboots:
R-T is already that, no shit and politics here… with the added bloggers, it can become rugby heaven for every real rugby supporter.
The difference here is you have a webmaster / owner who cares about the site… and contributes… and contributes.
@ Blue Bird:
It was utterly despicable, disgraceful and disgusting the way it crashed and burned. Guess it sums up the individual. But we had good times none the less.
170 @ Gumboots:
His business dealing showed exactly the type of person he is.
No surpise from me that he just shut the door and effectively locked his “supporters” out.
As was said before by someone, he made enough out of the advertising etc so why should he give a tinkers cuss?
Just a prat IMO.
@ Blue Bird:
You need to invite your friend Pedi to join RT…
@ Gumboots:
Remember when Jinx the ‘Poet’ blogger died? GBS opened a thread on Rugby Talk for Voldites and Rugby Talkers alike to post some tributes.
It was great to see so many folks united to say goodbye to an ‘Internet Mate’. Incredibly touching!
However I do not know what would get them over here to comment regularly, hopefully we will see more familiar faces as the new season starts 🙂
