Brian hits Bacher for six
30 Jan 2006
Saru president Brian van Rooyen has told former SA Cricket boss Ali Bacher not to speak on his behalf in the lead-up to the elections on 23 February.
According to Rapport newspaper, Bacher told the Presidents Council that Van Rooyen would not run for re-election if the charges of corporate mismanagement against the latter were dropped.
Van Rooyen responded by sending Bacher the following SMS:
“Ali ive been phoned by a nr of Presidents frm the Council whom u have talked 2 purportatly on my behalf claiming that i will not be standing as President of SARU. I have never given u such a mandate and please refrain frm doing so. Brian van Rooyen PRESIDENT SARU.”
Meanwhile, Natal Rugby Union president Oregan Hoskins has allegedly received the backing of Andre Markgraaff and Louis Luyt as he prepares to dethrone Van Rooyen. Hoskins was a popular man at Sun City, as he began his campaign run by giving a number of interviews to the media.
The challenger has generally focussed on the following points:
- Restoring good corporate governance by making minor changes to the constitution
- Breaking Saru up into the company and the Presidents Council (and thereby giving more power to the company)
- Bringing people like Morne du Plessis back into the game
- Assisting the Spears with their Super 14 preparations

I doubt that someone like Dr Bacher will get involved arguing with a dubious charachter such as BvR, sorry, it doesn’t stick.
Remember, Dr Bacher now represents the interests of the sponsors or SARFU’s money backers if you like.
The sponsors can pull the plug on SARFU any time they choose, while the revenues from the Super14 aren’t enough since SKY pays teams pro rata of their standing on the log.

If BvR wins again on the 24th the first press release from SARU is going to read:
“Due to budgetary constraints… the light at the end of the tunnel will be turned off until further notice.”

spyker you are a ****** idiot.
sorry, i wanted to be more subtle in my intro but you deserve nothing better.
so every white guy that did not publicly condemed the apartheid government is a racist and was part of the gravy train. i also refused to go play in some areas in CPT in my club rugby days because players and supporters got stabbed and thrown with bottles.
do yourself a favour you ****** prat, go google the name morne du plessis and read up on some articles on exactly what this guy did and still does for the development of rugby in previously disadvantaged communities.
you got some serious issues sir, get some help and soon, we have been a democratic society for over 10 years, i pity your kids if you have any.
need I go on????

if you want to make serious allegations like that base it on fact – not some thumbsucking sheep comment you and your left wing buddies discusses over a week-end.
name one game he refused to play?
name one thing bacher did where he supported the apartheid government?
name one instance morne did or said anything to implicate him in supporting the old regime, you are a sad individual.
idiot

Thanks PissAnt , I could’nt have said it better myself as I was well tempted to tune the *** wipe what a sour little man he is.

The whole wide world. They were all thrown out of the international arena because of their Allegiance to a racist apartheid government. Get it fool?

again who where and when – it sounds like an opinion that holds no water – give us proof.
futher, why is morne involved with the laures (spelling?) sports trust – the biggest international sports body? surely not because he is a racist and old aprtheid activist?
why was bacher voted into presidency of our cricket union and tasked with arguably the best WC the world has ever seen – surely not to portray that we as south africans still se these pigs that supported apartheid as national hero’s?
your are a fool!

Of the 3 (van Rooyen, du Plessis and Bacher) the biggest beneficiary of aparheid was Van Rooyen.
Both Bacher and DuPlessis lost out on illustrious careers as intenational sports leaders and players. And they condemned apartheid.
Van Rooyen cashed in his transformation credentials and hopped on the gravy train.
I’m no Bacher fan but some of the stuff written above is just rubbish!

Mcspykerkont,
Go live in the DRC or Liberia for 6 months. There has never been any apartheid there. It would be paradise for you.

LOL Thats really pushing it train Stick Dr Bacher into a township school , tell him he cant go outside after curfew let him grow up in poverty which inevitably means being surrounded in crime. Tell him he cant be a doctor and the maximum qualification he could study for is a mason then see wether he comes out the same man he has become i sincerely doubt it. NB that doesnt mean i agree with the comments above.

Ali Bacher — the unchallenged king of lickspittle ANC brown-nosing — was always going to get his come-uppance.

Bloody Hell, what a privilege to have Mc Spyker and The Tackler on the same thread. Keo must be working overtime.
Did anyone notice that Our friend the spyker appeared around the same tine that Keo was asked to declare where he stands regarding BvR? Maybe I am just a closet conspiracy theorist – maar daar bestaan soiets soos toeval nie.

Redox
Everything you say is true but I still believe that of those 3 (not anyone else) the biggest beneficiary was van Rooyen. If I grew up in the circumstances you’ve decribed I would be pretty pissed off with van Rooyen.
