it seems
That even the staid world of rugby is not exempt from accusations of corruption! Any oval ball followers out there got a view on the allegations/innuendo surrounding the decision to give NZ the 2011 rugby world cup?

My view:
Corruption? Isn't rugby just football without rules? And why do rugby players need a cup, I thought they drank from the skulls of their victems, I'm sorry, I meen opponent?

well
afcourse, what else are skulls for ?
|

i can tell
that i am dealing with pagans here! at least in rugby they don't go round kissing each other, and unlike the round ball exponents we do not see childish acts of petulance because nasty man has taken his ball off them!
They may drink from the skulls of their opponents (if they are still in on piece) but at least they do not assault the ref every time he gives a decision they do not like or agree with!

Ref's
What ref's? Every once in a while, durring a rugby game, I see a person out of uniform take the ball away from play and after much arguement he gives it back. What I don't understand is why does he still have his limbs after the arguement and what is that rag that hangs from his pocket? Does he use it to wipe blood off?

in rugby
the ref is not allowed to touch the ball if he did he may find himself in the bottom of a ruck! Anyway he is far to busy clearing the bodies of the pitch cos rugby players are not allowed to wear loads of padding!!
Talking of padding just been reading about the guy from the Steelers they call the bus! Who do you guys from over the pond tip for the superbowl the press over here seem to think the Broncoes have every chance this year!

it seems
I missed the result but the Steelers beat the Bronco's to book their place in the superbowl maybe our papers should stick to what you guys call soccer or rugby!!
|
|
Me too!
I hope you'r not reading the Guardian; anyway I agree with your oppinion on the papers except the Broncos took a dive, while the Steelers are looking goooood. How do they pick rugby ref's anyway, is it from a list of losers or degenerates?
|
|
depends on
which side you support artjones if your team is losing then its from a list of losers and degenerates, if they are winning they are from a pool of people who have infinite wisdom and understand every aspect of the game!
|
|
depends!
Yea, but do the refs have to have a sense of humor or is that implied?
|
|
lets face it
any ref in any sport has to have a sense of humour!
