Maties make it two in a row
30 Mar 2009
Maties clinched their second Varsity Cup title with a 11-6 win over Pukke in a scrappy final in Stellenbosch.
The defending champions struggled to get going in the first half, but some smart work at the breakdown and solid defence in the second stanza saw Chean Roux’s men hang on to claim their second title in two years.
The game was far from the showpiece the 18 000 strong at the Danie Craven Stadium had hoped for, but in the end the Maties fans were the ones singing after 80 minutes.
In a tight and disjointed first half it was Pukke who got off to a good start and took the lead in only the second minute through a Cecil Dumond penalty. The visitors were playing some good percentage rugby albeit without much penetration.
It was only a matter of time until the hosts found their rhythm and after a good period of sustained pressure, Maties launched an attack from a scrum deep in Pukke’s half. The ball went quickly through the hands before reaching Morné Jooste out on the wing who stumbled before finishing in the corner for the only try of the game.
While Pukke looked good at lineout time, it was at the breakdown where their hard work was undone as the Maties’ forwards dominated the tackle point.
The difference between the two sides was the speed at which Stellenbosch were able to attack, which was down to the efficient work of their loose trio and the crisp distribution of scrumhalf Donald Stevens.
Pukke were still enjoying the bulk of the possession but had little to show for it as Maties’ defence stood strong. With time running out in the half a good kick and chase led to an attacking scrum for Pukke deep in Maties territory.
From the scrum the visitors managed to set up an overlap on the left, but fullback Willem Barnard butchered the chance to give his side the lead and Maties went into the break with a slim advantage.
The game started to open up in the second half, but as the ball was given more air, the error count began to mount on both sides and Pukke finally regained the lead through the boot of Dumond in the 49th minute.
Stellenbosch edged in front again through a cheeky drop goal from flyhalf Johan Sadie. The score seemed to reinvigorate the defending champions and they extended their lead just three minutes later through a Stevens penalty.
Maties’ forwards were beginning to stamp their authority on the game, but in most instances their hard work was undone by some sloppy handling.
With less then 10 minutes left in the game Pukke threw everything they had left at the hosts, but Roux’s men were up to the challenge as they kept the visitors at bay to hold on for the win.
In the curtain-raiser Armentum of Shimlas beat Dromedaris of the University of Johannesburg 30-16 in the Koshuis final.

I see that the thread regarding Shawn Mackay got taken down.
“He sustained a cervical spinal fracture and dislocation (broken neck), compound fractures to his left tibia and fibula (broken leg) and multiple facial fractures and lacerations as a result of the accident.
He will remain in a medically induced coma for the next 36 hours as he undergoes continued treatment.”
It sounds like at least he is beyond the worst.

#25 K9 the Lion: King of Beasts: yes…i think so as well…certainly will attract lots of players….i am hoping stormers will look to change as well…cant see rassie being allowed to continue for a season longer after the rubbish the stormers have been dishing up week after week…Lions blew it Sat…thay had the canes for all money…threw it away…sad to say but the ashwin knock on changed the match completely…

Maar ek moet nie te vinnig praat nie, as die Bulls nou te veel gaan begin verloor, gaan sy kop ook sommer ge-eis (of is dit ge-eish?) word ! Dan moet Heyneke kom red !

As die Pukke nie vinnig ‘n kopskuif maak nie, gaan hul ver verloor. Hul speel om die telling laag te hou, val glad nie aan nie, en hoop maar net vir taMatie foute. Kan nie so wen nie.

#37 grant10: To be honest don’t think Jake or Meyer want anything to do with SA rugby. Pity. Both have been messed about so much. Then who knows we just may see them both coaching here somewhere again. WE need to keep both these very talented coaches in this country.
If Meyer could coach Lions and Jake Stormers you would see both teams transformed and playing to their potential. I have no doubt about that.
Just that Jake turned down the job with the Lions so not sure if he will coach Stormers either, unless living in the Cape makes it more attractive for him.
30 Mar 2009, 20:20 pm
It’s like a battlefield out on Coetzenburg…both sides are exhausted, some big hits going in…olding on
..come on, Maties!
Finally the ref blows Pukke for holding on.
30 Mar 2009, 20:20 pm
#27 grant10: Agree Grant, I thought that Lions should have won on Saturday. Had missed some very good chances. That knock on by Willemse did turn the game. Would have been a great result for Lions to beat the Canes. Still think Lions will surprise some NZ and OZ teams they will play.
30 Mar 2009, 20:21 pm

#43 grant10: Not sure if Mallett will ever coach here again. Mallett not doing very well with Italy, then who would? No matter how good a coach you are if you don’t have talented players to work with you can not do much.
Well if Meyer is looking thats very good news. Need to keep some of these great coaches. If Jake coached Stormers he would have CJ back home straight away. Maybe a few others too. I think thats what is missing at the Stormers a really good coach. Also need to get some younger players in. Get another hooker too. That hooker from Cheetahs is very impressive. Wasted in a team like that. Stormers should grab him quick before another franchise does.

It will be interesting to see the tackle count for this match.
I will not be surprised if Maties put in around 25% more tackles than Pukke.

What happened today was actually healthy for keo, in my opinion.
A lot of bloggers get almost righteous about recording instances where they were personally attacked or had members of their family attacked, almost to the point of zealous persecution. But when the shoe is on the other foot, the incident gets played down…

I’ll check out Ruggaworld then…

Struggling with the navigation a bit.
By the way, nice win on Saturday. I expected a win, but not at such a level. The black shirts combined with ferocious rucking made me think I was looking at the All Blacks.

She’s intelligent too – studies B.Comm at Maties, got two A’s in matric (one for Mathematics, one for Biology), went to school at El Shaddai Christian School, parents are well-to-do…seems like a father’s dream girl! Or maybe that’s exactly why she’s not…

#143 spooner: I see Cab is there and he’s good value. I responded to him.
But it will probably need a few of us to start a “forum”.
Roy did a great job on navigation here on Keo. RW is pretty average in that regard, but maybe that is new user fat finger error.
But at least I have an option.

I think the Janne p#ssed him off so much that he left (at least for a while). Hopefully he will be back soon.
Tolerance of different views is what it is all about as Cab has always said. Pity that some just cannot manage it.
I feel as if I am being watched
30 Mar 2009, 21:42 pm
het chaps…we have all had bad days and said and done things we regret…as my own favorite Luke Watson…sometimes we are in a bad space and lash out …and not everyone has the same capacity to apologise…as in Luke…etc…i believe WPTID is big enough to turn the cheeck…and so should all of us here…or we become part of the thing a lot of us hate in the first place?? Lets move on…been a poor day on the site…for everyone…but him with no guilt throw the 1 st stone?? Lets leave this sorry mess behind us…i have,.

I am asking this as a fellow jurist, of course.

Forgiveness requires at least some form of remorse from the offender.
30 Mar 2009, 21:56 pm
I have to say this, GBS is great fun….
Yes I know I have not been able to follow todays ups and downs but for heavens sake!!!
We have spent hours with him, he is a laugh….we are all so different thats why we meet up here.
Rugby, sport, music, banter and argments….thats what it is about.
I have been accused of being a “Street Walker” hey I survived!!
30 Mar 2009, 21:56 pm
Hello everyone. Phew. Alot of drama here today. WPTID I don’t see what you did to solicit such a response. Sorry about that. Chin up.
God knows I usually incite more violence but even I have not been personally threatend. Amazing hey? LOL!!!
By the by guys. You cannot advertise other sites on Keo. It’s a bannable offense. Just thought I ought to tell you.
30 Mar 2009, 21:56 pm
Talk of the devil….

#164 WP Till I Die:

I know GBS have lots of friends here and some of them are also my friends but this type of thing piss#s me off big time.

It is only a flippin blog and no one needs this nonsense.

#171 carol: See Carol. You guys are preaching forgiveness to WPTID, but there is no forgiveness on this site. Your moments of madness are chucked in your face everyday. That, more than anything is what is stressing the **** out of GBS. See. Even if he says sorry, and even if WPTID does forgive, the rest of Keo will use this and stab him in the gut with it at every chance they get. Why? Because that is what he does to them and all his friends here. Even, Carol.
No escape guys and girls. No matter how sorry you are, or how provoked you were. It’s ammunition for the next round in the battle.

Shangri-La is out there.
30 Mar 2009, 22:07 pm
#177 Robzim: But Rob we have all provoked others here before sometimes by accident sometimes by saying something to get a discussion going. I suppose the difference is the levels of offence felt by the one on the receiving end!!

#168 WP Till I Die: Hey. Shoo, firstly I’m a solicitor, not a barrister (hardly any difference as you will know though lol).
I’ve been out of SA for a while now, and it’s not my area of law, so I don’t really know the local authorities and recent developments say on the topic.
Interesting question though. Dynamic area of law.

You do not have the benefit of being proficient in Afrikaans – which is probably a good thing today.

You are relatively new to this blog, carol.
Suffice it to say that you are defending someone who has on many occasions self-righteously taken it upon himself to appoint himself moderator here and instigate the bannings of numerous bloggers here on keo.
Yet the same person is deigned able to personally attack other bloggers for years now with impunity. Do you know how many times people like Dawn have been called “nipple nose” and much, much worse? But it is swept under the carpet.
Perhaps you should e-mail Roy and ask him to find out what percentages of people banned historically on keo were at the behest of which bloggers?
I have said I will forgive after a public apology.
I will say no more on this, as I am still contemplating all my options.

30 Mar 2009, 22:45 pm
#251 carol: Okay. Carol. If I offended you with comments, just know I had a bad day that day.
So now everything is perfect and no -one on keo must ever throw the misquote in my face again.

#244 Ed_the_Lion: #245 carol:
Agree with Ed. Some people here are trying to highlight one or two posts of GBS. Let them translate the WHOLE thread and then you’ll understand WHY he reacted that way.
IMO the whole thing was planne by Dawn and WPTID because the moment they came on they started to stir. I just ignored most of it.
Alf,
Daar was klomp godslaterlike dinge gese, moenie dat hulle jou probeer wysmaak dat Pietman oorreageer het nie.
Carol
Ex player will be coming to the UK in June I think. We spoke the other day, maybe you, me, 4man, ex player and Willievz can watch the first British lions test vs the Boks together.
Anyway, just wanted to inform you about everything. Not here to blog.
30 Mar 2009, 22:49 pm
#255 K9 the Lion: King of Beasts: Is this “Disgusted of Tunbridge Wells” actually an English joke you may not get?
Male or female visitor?
30 Mar 2009, 22:49 pm
#264 hater: no one has …and i always felt you were bloody brave when you were hunted by a pack …respect you in many ways…i know we havent met or chatted…you direct and intimidate me a bit to be honest…but hi !!
30 Mar 2009, 22:51 pm
I am shocked at how some of the muppets behave when given freedom on a public blog.
So we are back to banning people now – GBS, Dawn, Sheriff and Pietman. Any other names for the list? We will reinstate the report comment button. This is a ‘speak your mind about rugby’ blog…. if the topic moves to politics or attacking other bloggers we will close the thread and clean up.
30 Mar 2009, 22:52 pm
#269 Supa Die BlouJan: hi supa…bulls will be stronger this week…habana,matfield,jp nel and werner kruger must start
30 Mar 2009, 22:52 pm

#257 Robzim:
p.s you are not old..
After your last “incident”!!
p.p.s. Grant and I have decided not to take the mountain biking option with you!!
30 Mar 2009, 22:54 pm
#269 Supa Die BlouJan: Thanks supa, but besides you guys I have no other translators.
I just have to go with my instincts…
30 Mar 2009, 22:54 pm
#272 Roy: not me please…i will be lost without the night owls…my girlfriend busy with the elections…ban me at your leisure post 22 april…
30 Mar 2009, 22:54 pm
#272 Roy:
Roy, i think it is fair to ban ppl being wrong, but how can you ban Sherrif and not chch for his comments about religion? Or WPTID? Read the whole thread properly, WPTID are just as quilty.
Please bring the report button back. I wanted to report half the comments there, especially chch’s comments.
30 Mar 2009, 22:55 pm
#264 hater: You obviously have lots of bad days!!
My thoughts are with you
30 Mar 2009, 22:56 pm
God I love Keo. G’night all. Oh and Hi back at ya Grant10.
30 Mar 2009, 22:56 pm
#272 Roy: Yes please. Bring back the button.
30 Mar 2009, 22:58 pm
#280 hater: LOL…hi and bye…
30 Mar 2009, 22:58 pm
#273 grant10:
Howzit Grant, hope you are well. Didnt really come to blog, just felt that some ppl were balming everything on GBS when they are just as quilty.
I quess I’ll blog till the next fight start, as I am sick and tired of politics and religion posts and I tend to get dragged into it when I should just log off.
But rugby is fine,
The Bulls, I dont know mate, they dissapointed me, cant see us winning without a decent fetcher. We miss Stegmann. We got killed at the breakdown.
30 Mar 2009, 22:59 pm
#281 K9 the Lion: King of Beasts: damn…more technology to understand again…what is the button??
30 Mar 2009, 23:00 pm

30 Mar 2009, 23:00 pm
#272 Roy: Hi Roy, how are the preparations for the “S.A Rugby Magazines” Lions Tour cocktail party coming along?
I am expecting an invite?
Where are you holding it?
Can I bring my favourite bloggers too??
30 Mar 2009, 23:00 pm
#276 carol:
Yes, go with that. GBS is a really good oke and I am sure you know that.
So are you here in the UK when the lions tour SA?
30 Mar 2009, 23:00 pm
#284 grant10: hehehe…the report button.
30 Mar 2009, 23:02 pm
#283 Supa Die BlouJan: yes…been a crazy kinda day…my view is clear so will leave it at that…i would play spies 8…d rossouw 7 and dewald potgieter at 6…keep it tight …make the 1 st time tackles and go in with the right attitude…sadly lacked the will to fight sat…will be better this week …
30 Mar 2009, 23:02 pm
#277 grant10: So do you skype?
30 Mar 2009, 23:02 pm
#283 Supa Die BlouJan: Supa, u should be more worried about ur frontrow who got detroyed by a 20 year old hehehe
30 Mar 2009, 23:02 pm
#285 Roy:
Think it was either under CHCH or Christchurch. Check the thread again, it was in the beginnig. He made lots of sarcastic comments about the players praising God after the game like Kockett, Bakkies etc. He then made a comment by God being pissed at them etc.
Thanks
30 Mar 2009, 23:02 pm
#279 carol: You too. Fair enough. And thank you, you just made my point. There is no forgiveness on Keo, so stop telling WPTID nonsense.
#278 Supa Die BlouJan: Is this you filing papers for leave to Appeal?
#272 Roy: Thanks Roy. Clearly there is need for moderation. Please advise what the exact Rules are. Red cards, yellow cards etc.
30 Mar 2009, 23:02 pm
I want to bring on two new moderators from the blog – any ideas on who could be good candidates?
30 Mar 2009, 23:03 pm
#290 carol: havent got a clue…the blonde does to turkey, eng , sweden…i am so technically challenged//e mail and keo about my limit!LOL
30 Mar 2009, 23:04 pm
#283 Supa Die BlouJan:
All you must ask yourself is whether you agree with the threats that GBS made in his posts 104 and whether you think that is the type of thing that should be tolerated anywhere in the world today?
It is only yes or no? Can you answer it?
30 Mar 2009, 23:05 pm
#289 grant10:
Dont agree Grant, those might be the best available players, but we need a fetcher. Potgieter is and excellent player and he will be a Bok one day I hope, but I see him as an 8 or a 7. Also, I feel it is unfair that he must for fill that role now as he hasnt played there since st 8 I think.
Jacques Burger must start as he is a fetcher and next in line, but there is a big gap between Stegmann and Burger.
30 Mar 2009, 23:06 pm
#287 Supa Die BlouJan: Thank you, I know he is a good bloke that is why I had to fight his corner when he was not here.
The really good news is I will be in SA with the Lions, and will be meeting up with lots my lovely Keo friends.
30 Mar 2009, 23:06 pm
#294 Roy: not me…got a credit crunch to overcome and need to improve my *** life…
30 Mar 2009, 23:07 pm
#294 Roy:
PissAnt?
30 Mar 2009, 23:09 pm
ok – WP Till I Die added to the list – can’t find any comments from chch on the thread???
30 Mar 2009, 23:09 pm
#294 Roy: Not me cause I’ll ban all the bulls supporters
30 Mar 2009, 23:09 pm
#297 Supa Die BlouJan: okay …i never knew much about burger…if he is the next fetcher then for sure …start him at 6…pedrie been poor last game…perhaps d rossouw, bakkies and matfield could be the way to go with spies and burger and potgieter off the bench then??
30 Mar 2009, 23:09 pm
howzit folks
seems a lot has happened on here today. imo just another day on keo where many come here to vent out their anger, stress and unhappiness.
im only here to talk rugby, always have, always will.
30 Mar 2009, 23:10 pm
#295 grant10: I have bought the thing, installed it plug it in then get lost!!
Would never manage to find anothr blog and log in!
30 Mar 2009, 23:10 pm
#294 Roy: Puma
30 Mar 2009, 23:10 pm
#294 Roy: It cannot be regular bloggers. Too biased. You need outsiders. People who have intelligence, and understand Afrikaans. Too much evil is being done here in Afrikaans. Female and male. Different groups of the demografic. That ought to be fair.
And bloggers must never have access to their mailing addresses or even know who they are. Too much underhanded reporting happened in the past.
30 Mar 2009, 23:11 pm
#301 Roy: U looking at the Willemse thread?
30 Mar 2009, 23:12 pm
#294 Roy: Jim T cool bloke, Soda Joe, (can say that now he is not here)!
30 Mar 2009, 23:12 pm
#300 Supa Die BlouJan: pissant is an option… i’ll get hold of him and find out
30 Mar 2009, 23:12 pm
#301 Roy: Exactly. Church was innocent. His humour just requires a bit more grey matter than the average man.

30 Mar 2009, 23:13 pm
#309 carol: Jim T and Soda Joe? You must be joking. They already have a list of people they want to ban.
30 Mar 2009, 23:14 pm
#310 Roy: Roy, they have to be regulars to understand the “vibe”!
30 Mar 2009, 23:14 pm
#312 carol: He’s a good man!!! Geez…I sound like a priest at a funeral.
30 Mar 2009, 23:15 pm
#314 hater: How would you know that? Have you made it to their list then?
30 Mar 2009, 23:16 pm
#316 K9 the Lion: King of Beasts: Well you didn’t say “was”….so thats OK!
30 Mar 2009, 23:16 pm
#296 Robzim:
I dont have to answer to you so you are wasting your time trying to push me in a corner. We all know its not as simple as yes or no.
You keep on referring to ONE post but ignore the 103 posts before that?! I quess its because you agree with all those posts before 104…
But to make it simple for you. If your buddy WPTID or Dawn had an argument with GBS after what was said by WPTID and Dawn today, would I be in his (GBS) corner?
Answer is simple: For sure.
30 Mar 2009, 23:17 pm
#311 hater:
Off course he is innocent. The only “crime” that he has committed is that he hates the Aussies.Same with Cane.
30 Mar 2009, 23:17 pm
#314 hater: Any suggestions except for somebody from the NPA?
30 Mar 2009, 23:17 pm
#311 hater: jeez…he was the one that called me racist because i called the kiwis chokers…damn i will be banned for sure!!LOL
30 Mar 2009, 23:17 pm
Sheriff if you out there. YOU ARE BANNED!!!! Tralalalalalala!!!
I LOVE YOU ROY!!!!! Okay. G’night. Seriously now.
30 Mar 2009, 23:17 pm
put Skopskiet in charge of the ban button and be done with it.
30 Mar 2009, 23:18 pm
#322 grant10: Hahahahahahaha. I know. Damn. We almost got killed off.
30 Mar 2009, 23:18 pm
#310 Roy: I would say Robzim, but he does like to tease people, how about Grant, a great supporter of all South Africans, and teaser or Kiwis!!
30 Mar 2009, 23:19 pm
sorry of Kiwis
30 Mar 2009, 23:19 pm
#302 K9 the Lion: King of Beasts: HAHAHa…. I think thats why keo stays away from the moderation as well
30 Mar 2009, 23:19 pm

30 Mar 2009, 23:22 pm
#301 Roy:
Thanx Roy, you have a tough job.
Maybe it was the other Lions thread or the Habana one? Pietman also referred to that posts earlier. I’ll see what I can find.
#303 grant10:
Yeah, i dont really know, all i know is we got killed at the breakdown. Maybe move Kuun back to 6 flank or something. If Mccaw plays we can forget about getting good ball.
#310 Roy:
PA always have fair comments and are not biased. Not sure if he will have the time though. Doesnt he run ruggaworld? Would be great if you could get him…on second thought…he support WP! lol
30 Mar 2009, 23:23 pm
#323 hater: You can’t ban
Sheriff he is putting together the female bloggers rugby squad. I am in Percys position, means I get to hang about at the back a bit and not sweat too much!
30 Mar 2009, 23:23 pm
#326 carol: not me…i will ban all kiwis and aussies…and only allow 1 pom…coaches choice LOL…Do luv all saffas though!
30 Mar 2009, 23:24 pm
#333 hater: What do you mean, he just said Nighty, night to us all!!
30 Mar 2009, 23:25 pm

You?
30 Mar 2009, 23:25 pm
#334 Supa Die BlouJan: mc caw not playing…Kuun at 6…yes!!!
30 Mar 2009, 23:25 pm
#336 grant10: One pom is that JimT, Big Hit or me ?
30 Mar 2009, 23:25 pm
lol, what a disaster.
Robzim, aint getting involved, but you are spot on about everything.
and with that i have better things to do.
30 Mar 2009, 23:26 pm
#335 carol: I have no banning power. Only Roy does and he is in the process of appointing commissioners to his court.
Besides, If sheriff was putting together a team of ladies and he was the coach, I’d be red carded every game for running off the pitch and high tackling the coach.
30 Mar 2009, 23:27 pm
#332 grant10:
seriously boet, he’ll clean up this place quicksmart, no questions asked.
probably wont ban anyone either, so its wasted.
later
30 Mar 2009, 23:27 pm
how long do these bannings last? Cant all bloggers rather start afresh tomorrow…i hate these bannings…reminds me of the old SA…
30 Mar 2009, 23:27 pm
#338 Supa Die BlouJan: No. Skoppie. If I was moderator, I’d ban you. hahahahahaha
30 Mar 2009, 23:28 pm
#328 Roy: Roy, I hope you noticed the near exodus of bloggers to another site this evening!!
Only Grant and I would remain because we can’t escape, have no idea how to get out of here!! Lol
30 Mar 2009, 23:28 pm
#340 carol: ok….3 poms max!! LOL
30 Mar 2009, 23:28 pm
#344 grant10: Ah Dude. Give me at least 24 hours of no Sheriff.
30 Mar 2009, 23:29 pm
#319 Supa Die BlouJan:
I never expected you to answer. You are too loyal towards your friend (it is a good quality)
You do not have to complicate things by bringing Dawn into it. It is an old tactic. The issue that I am referring to is the one between GBS and WPTID and all that WPTID did was to tell GBS that he is insulting people and then WHAM- post 104!
We must ask Roy to open the thread again.
30 Mar 2009, 23:29 pm
#314 hater: Afraid you’re wrong my dear. I would never ban anybody. Those are bully boy tactics.
30 Mar 2009, 23:29 pm
#342 hater: You and Dawn both I think!! Lol
30 Mar 2009, 23:29 pm
#346 carol: They’ll be back. All the other sites are boring. We all know that.
30 Mar 2009, 23:29 pm
#342 hater: LOL…that oke can be annoying!!
30 Mar 2009, 23:30 pm
#339 grant10:
Is Mccaw def still out? Good news for the Bulls. Although, I didnt really know Adam Thompson before the weekend and he stole half our ball by himself…he had a good game.
30 Mar 2009, 23:31 pm

30 Mar 2009, 23:31 pm
#326 carol:
I fought too long and hard against authority to be placed in such a position. I will take sides with the rebels.
30 Mar 2009, 23:32 pm
#340 carol: I defer to the sweet Carol. You can have the spot. I will wait for another day when Grant relents
30 Mar 2009, 23:32 pm
#350 JimT: Apologies then. Okay. You and skoppie then.
30 Mar 2009, 23:33 pm
#348 hater: yip…he was a bit much today…lets leave him to sweat for a day….or 3 !!!
30 Mar 2009, 23:33 pm
#359 grant10: Three!!!
30 Mar 2009, 23:33 pm
Roy
Its on the Healing Habana thread. Look there from about post 150 and furher. Dawn and church – like chch but pronounceable started it there.
30 Mar 2009, 23:33 pm
#356 Robzim: Actually I do remember you encouraging Springbok Sarah to “riot”….you would be a bad influence, I retract you as my nomination
30 Mar 2009, 23:34 pm
#357 JimT: Not Carol dude. Now you lost my vote.
30 Mar 2009, 23:35 pm
#361 Supa Die BlouJan: church did nothing wrong. Nothing.
30 Mar 2009, 23:35 pm

30 Mar 2009, 23:36 pm

30 Mar 2009, 23:37 pm
#363 hater: So just whats wrong with me ???
30 Mar 2009, 23:37 pm
#362 carol:
I was a class captain at school once or twice though
Did you ever hold any leadership positions?
30 Mar 2009, 23:37 pm
#346 carol: they’ll be back, there is no other site quite like this
30 Mar 2009, 23:38 pm
#366 JimT: To be a level headed unbiased moderator here on the site!
30 Mar 2009, 23:38 pm
#363 hater: Oh c’mon have a heart. Can’t we all get along. I’m sure you’re nice in person & I bet Carol is too. Probably would strike up a pleasant conversation.
30 Mar 2009, 23:39 pm
#349 Robzim:
You are fooling yourself of you think everything started today. Its been coming a looooong time. Roy can open it, why would I care? Modderotter posted GBS post on all the threads and a lot of people witnessed it.
Anyway, Im not discussing it with you further.
30 Mar 2009, 23:39 pm
#363 hater: I’ve always wanted to be a dude, heh, heh
30 Mar 2009, 23:39 pm
#369 Robzim: I was Patrol Leader of the Blue *** Patrol at Girl Guides !!!
My first position of authority!!
30 Mar 2009, 23:41 pm
Well i have a name or two…but I’ll find the posts first and then forward them here. Those who always turn EVERY decent concersation into a racial thing and cause bloggers to sign out with a bitter taste in their mouths.
30 Mar 2009, 23:41 pm
#371 carol: OMG. Are you nominating me for the Nobel Peace Prize next?
30 Mar 2009, 23:41 pm
#370 spykerbaard: Glad you have done the investigation, means I don’t have too.
How is the old beard by the way?

30 Mar 2009, 23:43 pm
#375 carol: I was the only member of the 6th form not appointed as prefect. You think they figured something out about me?
30 Mar 2009, 23:43 pm
#374 JimT: Actually Rugby Princess hates being called Babes, I have to admit I was ONCE called Babes and thought it was quite cool. You don’t get called Babes in the country much!! Tehehe.
30 Mar 2009, 23:44 pm
#363 hater:
If he didnt offend anyone, why would Snoek pop op out of nowhere and ask wether they have problems with Christians?
Thats for Rob for decide after he read the healing Habana thread.
Anyway, I through blogging for tonight.
Cheers
#365 grant10:
At least he Bulls will have a better chance…cheers my man
30 Mar 2009, 23:44 pm
#372 JimT: Don’t bet on it, we are like chalk and cheese!
30 Mar 2009, 23:45 pm
#380 JimT: Jim, I am really surprised. Even I was a prefect!!
30 Mar 2009, 23:45 pm
#373 Supa Die BlouJan: Ur right….its been coming for a while now.
I think I agree with what Grant suggested somewhere above. A fresh start and bloggers should obey the rules. To ban bloggers purely on what happened today is not right. We r all going to end up digging into the past to have a *** for tat.
30 Mar 2009, 23:46 pm
#382 Supa Die BlouJan: See you Supa, and thanks.
30 Mar 2009, 23:46 pm
i dont think anyone should be banned …rather a final warning and take it from there…not cool this witch hunt thing….just for Hater make an example of Sherriff…say 3 weeks …maybe a month tops…LOL
30 Mar 2009, 23:47 pm
#378 carol: lol, just fine thanks
30 Mar 2009, 23:47 pm
#381 carol: Yes her Highness would not appreciate that label. Much too intellectual for that condescending/patronising clap trap
30 Mar 2009, 23:47 pm
#375 carol:
“Patrol Leader of the Blue *** Patrol at Girl Guides !!!”
Lol, that is impressive, I hope you did not get any one killed during that time.
The responsibility that goes with these type of
positions are very hard and only the strongest can handle it. It is much easier to be a rebel.
30 Mar 2009, 23:48 pm
#382 Supa Die BlouJan: goodnite my man!
30 Mar 2009, 23:48 pm
#387 grant10: Check my post 385. Agree.
30 Mar 2009, 23:49 pm
#383 carol: With my presence I think we could work things out.
30 Mar 2009, 23:50 pm
#385 K9 the Lion: King of Beasts: Great idea, how about a group hug….bonding moment. (Where’s Grant when you need him)
I will forgive Hater for saying I was a “Loose Woman” or something like that as well!!
30 Mar 2009, 23:51 pm
#392 K9 the Lion: King of Beasts: yip …start afresh so all knows the rules and take from there…way to go…and i miss some of those okes already!!
30 Mar 2009, 23:52 pm
#384 carol: I think they spotted the anarchist in me. It couldn’t have been the Irish element because most of the faculty was Irish. Must say even at this stage it would be an interesting question to pose to the decision makers. Maybe it was my unruly hair? LOL
30 Mar 2009, 23:52 pm
#389 JimT: R.P is one very bright bird! Would love to meet her and Dawn.
30 Mar 2009, 23:52 pm
#394 carol: i dont like group hugs to be honest….prefer individual hug with you Princess…
30 Mar 2009, 23:53 pm
#394 carol: Not too sure i want to hug Supa hehehehe
Anyway Im out of here. Check my FB status….been napping for the past two hours
30 Mar 2009, 23:54 pm
#394 carol: What have you done to earn that title? Have I have missed something in my absence? heh, heh
30 Mar 2009, 23:54 pm
seriously….how long are these bans??
30 Mar 2009, 23:54 pm
#390 Robzim: No one killed or injured on my watch, however we did have a few hairy moments, and you should see my knots!!
30 Mar 2009, 23:55 pm
night all – i have a lot of work to get done tonight

Boy oh boy, what have I walked into here. Is Apartheid still alive and well in SA.
It looks like Dawn started it if you ask me (saying “it’s a black/white thang” – the fact that Willemse announced his retirement, and calling Sheriff GBS’s and Pietmans’ “house n*gga”), ably backed up by WPTID. GBS and Pietman took the bait, and GBS overreacted in an inexcusable way. They are all to blame for being silly.
GBS and Dawn are a bad combo – they were both banned together the last time (if I remember correctly it was the day skopskiet officially got banned).
Sheriff? Well he and Dawn have had a simmering, bickering love hate relationship for some time now… About time they get a room.

Good to see that Roy is finally prepared to apply the rules governing racist, religious and personal abuse. It seems that grownup people do not understand that the concept of freedom of expression goes hand in hand with responsibility and respect for opposite opinions.
Usually, it is an irresponsible minority that causes rules to be applied affecting also the majority who acts and interacts in a civil fashion. This site is no different. Although most of us have political, cultural and even racial affiliations, the majority are tolerant of diverse affiliations and opinions, which would make a blog like this one an ideal platform for communication and cross pollination across different affiliations.
Once again however, it is a vociferous minority with an assortment of agendas who clearly cannot function in a free environment without subtly, or blatantly baiting people to respond and when the **** hits the fan, they are all of a sudden sooooo taken aback and even hurt!! I have read some scary racist comments aimed at all races from all sides – recently aimed at Afrikaans speaking bloggers who supported the player 23 campaign ad by Vodacom. This was an obvious next wave of attack against so called Dutchmen and was so misplaced in the first instance as the ad was telling the SA rugby supporters of ALL races, languages, and cultural affiliations that Vodacom was the biggest supporter of them…. But the vociferous haters of Dutchmen managed to twist poor old Jan into all kinds of political, cultural and other contortions which his body shape simply was not intended to accommodate! That is but one example…
Roy, you could do well to read quito carnivale’s posts for insight into the mentality of some of these extreme characters modus operandi of instigating division and even hatred amongst a group of bloggers who are busy debating rugby and enjoying each others company.
As you have now seen, there can never be harmony, respect and tolerance without clear and unambiguous rules displayed prominently, and enforced to the end. You will however need to find a plug for those that simply pop up under a new nick and continue their trouble making and hate speech with impunity…. Skopskiet comes to mind here – he was hit with a red card if I remember and he popped out under a variety of new nicks… Another one is cuito carnevale – previously DaOne (spelling?) who also was banned for racist conduct.
Finally BGS is one of the friendliest and kindest guys on the blog, always willing to share a joke, make people smile, extending a hand of friendship across affiliation divides eg Hater, hell the man even offered help to some people who had abused him. What you see is what you get with him, no pretenses, no agendas, just a friendly guy who likes to chat about rugby and make people smile. But he does see through the agendas and subtle stabs aimed at hurting and discrediting what is dear to him, and being a straight forward guy he reacts forcefully at times. I have NEVER read a post from him insulting other races, or groups. Do not hold the fact that he supports a certain team against him – that is called freedom of association.
Once again, I propose that you post the rules unambiguously and ACT when people go over the top.
That is my opinion

sorry “BGS = GBS

Reading some of the posts today a question came up………….
My thoughts went to the global financial crisis where markets are stumbling from one scandal to the next. Huge morally questionable bonuses, millions of desperate people losing their jobs, theft of billions of investment dollars, and the list goes on……….
On the issue of theft…….. is there a parallel to be drawn between a fund manager stealing someone’s investment dollars, and a full time employee who works for, say a financial services company or an oil company, and uses internet access provided by the employer for work related functions, and spends many hours of every working day blogging on what is supposed to be a rugby site?
The questions that come to mind are:
1.Are employers happy to remunerate employees for the hours spent blogging every day?
If employers are not aware of blogging activities during paid working hours on company equipment, can such activities be seen as theft?
Whether it qualifies as theft or not, what is the financial impact on the clients of such a company, the broader community and cumulatively on the local and global economies?
Is there any legal, and/or moral argument (civil duty) to be made for exposing such shameful and possibly illegal conduct?
As an investor, I am concerned to say the least!!
Interesting situation, isn’t it?

#446 SA Barbarians:
Wow, you make some interesting points, I have to say. But let me take a stab at your question about theft. As far as I can remember, theft as a criminal act (thus theft as a deed governed by the SA law), has many technicalities. It firstly states that one person (subject or legal person) must take from another person that which does not belong to him by right. Then it gets technical, like if you, the victim, had left your lawn mower outside for three days it could be said that you gave the idea that you have given it up. If you go to the person who took it, your neighbor for example, and he tries to keep it from you by force, it is theft. If he returns it under a misunderstanding, it is not. It goes on and on like that. Because of the technicalities and the way that the crim. law is very specifically set out and written, wasting time at work would be difficult to squeeze in this bracket.
You will have a hard time trying to prove that blogging is theft, for many reasons.
Civil law is maybe less and yet more technical. If one person takes from another and causes damages to the other person, the victim can make a civil case for renumeration, return ect.
I think this instance belongs more in the second bracket, since the bloggers does not take anything illegally, but through non-action at work, they may cause income and production flow damages to the company, org. or whatever. Furthermore, unlike in crim law, you do not have to prove that a certain rule has been broken, but only that you have suffered loss and or damages. This is where the more technical part comes in. The basis is more simple, but the proof much harder.
At best though, and clear from public charges, I would say that this is a case of labour law. The employer will have to ask the comp/org. HR to investigate if a person is blogging/slagging, ask them to do a performance check, attempt to rectify the problem WITH the input of the employee. If the employer continues to act in such a way that is harmful and non productive to the company, he or she could be discharged. Technicalities take over once again, but thats not needed here.
Short of it all. Criminal act, no, not likely. Civil law case , probably maybe, but hardly worth the cost and effort. Best scenario, employer should do a performance check, and sort stuff out within his own capacity. This will once again probably take more time and effort than its worth.
Now how many employers will catch you, thats the real question.

#447 Greenpoint-Gunner: Yes GG, I see what you mean.
I contemplated a few principles, and morals………. Not a criminal conviction
Fact remains is the conduct stinks, is not ethical, and someone is paying for it – you and me. I worked for a large corporate and although staff were allowed as a special privilege to send and receive a small number of e-mails, blogging and chatting was not permitted, and strict rules applied.
Some of these individuals spend many hours per day blogging at full pay, which is disgraceful by most standards.

Great win for Maties well done. The score should have been even bigger – by far the most dominant team in University rugby at the mo
Did you know – their scrumhalf – Donald Stevens went to Grey Bloem and was the scrummie to Frans Steyn ! Awesome hey.
He is a good talent lost that one. Nice clean pass, and a good boot.
