More woe for Reds

More woe for Reds

20 Mar 2012

Reds winger Digby Ioane has been suspended for five weeks for a dangerous tackle in their match against the Sharks.

Ioane tip-tackled Sharks flanker Marcell Coetzee, and while he was yellow carded for the offence, the citing commissioner decided the incident warranted further inspection.

Two previous disciplinary matters relating to dangerous tackles in 2008 counted against Ioane, who will be sidelined until the Reds’ round nine clash with the Blues in Auckland. The ban translates into four missed games, given the Reds have a bye in round eight.

    @the artist formerly known as gunther(gunther)-75: the DA is being unnecessary!

    THE Supreme Court of Appeal on Tuesday ruled in favour of the Democratic Alliance (DA) in its bid to have a decision to drop criminal charges against President Jacob Zuma reviewed.

    Yes frankie is coming home to the tank oh yeah!

    Jpp and frankie with pat and mcleod/hoffman and sitole and mvovo?

    This is an exciting backline with real gas to burn.

    Lastly may my cullart and black bros and ho…uhm sisters please stop fighting each other over schools and appeal to govt.

    Anyone who burns a classroom should be shot.

    Maybe I just don’t get the dynamic, but in the katman’s lay-mathematics, torching classrooms is the worst thing you could do for overcrowding. A thousand kids go into 25 classrooms far easier than they do into 15.

    @Wezwp(Wezwp)-113: Seriously? How is it NOT a black vs coloured ting? It’s not just IOL. Every publication and news site is carrying a similar story, and it’s all about coloured people “defending” their schools from black people who apparently want to burn them down. Lot’s of racial slurs being yelled at each other to go with the rocks and bricks.

    the sad fact of it all is that conflict is inveitable when there is fierce competition for scarce resources.

    The telegraph newspaper in the Uk reported that there ere 1 death and 16 injuries at the cape town stadium healing evangelism of pastor Chris of Nigeria. They really are looking for ways to utiliise cape town stadium however the past event really is bad publicity for cape town.

    @cab(cab)-132: the entry level for a mid-range offence is 6 weeks, the JO added 1 more week because he is a repeat offender and another week as a deterrent. he then reduced it from the 8 weeks by 3 weeks because digby showed remorse during the game, pleaded guilty at the hearing and didn’t intentional hurt the player. so voila 5 WEEKS it is.

    hougaard had the entry level 3 weeks, for contrition & remorse he got one week stricken off and for his exemplary record of never having had a yellow to his name, got another week off…voila 1 WEEK suspension.

    I wonder if they bother to run a drug test on Digby too? he seemed under an uncontrolled aggression?
    The one question I still have is how come JP got away with an off the ball tip tackle planting Sadie’s head to the ground
    Maybe Tact can shed some light on it?

    The very real and extremely destructive threat of ugly racial conflict becomes regarded as a sport to joke about on a rugby site?
    ‘Hoe laag kan julle nog daal’?

    Any situation where burning old schools, in even older but racially demarcated residential areas, is definitely going to raise the spectre of dehumanising violence and the authorities need to act quickly to stop it and solve the problems that led to this situation.

    If any prices are to be affected it will be the prices of Appletiser and Liquifruit juices, for Grabouw, and especially Pineview, form 80% of the Appletiser workforce.
    Luckily for me, my contact replenished my supplies just last week as I was told about this brewing conflict.

    Nothing better than Cape Granny Smiths for all those apple-based juices.
