@Dawn(Dawn)-449:
Sorry is that another way of saying japping?
27 Apr 2012, 07:39 am
@Dawn(Dawn)-449:
Meant to say jappying! Is that meant to interpret as saffas making conversation… : lol:
27 Apr 2012, 07:44 am
No that’s what prickboks does
Yap yap yap

The refereeing has been, at times, shocking this year.
Some teams seem to have benefitted more from it.
The current “merit” system does not work. We have to go back to the system that saw neutral referees officiating a match.
Otherwise there is no legitimacy.

Hi Dawn, Happy Freedom Day.

@wallabie.(wallabie.)-452: it’s called a floydian slip and is normally accompanied by a glass of red wine and a bowl of goulash…

keith lawrence, like his son, is a cnut.
cheating duplicitous kiwi.
27 Apr 2012, 07:56 am
@WP Till I Die(WP-Forever)-454: agreed, lets take the home town reffing syndrome out of the equation and rate the referees on each performance, the better ones at the end of the season being rewarded with the playoff games etc and internationals etc
27 Apr 2012, 07:57 am
@rangerman(rangerman)-457: and happy freedom day to you too!
27 Apr 2012, 07:59 am
the sharks have had some horrendous reffing.
from kiwis.
glen jackson is surely the most incompetent of the kiwi refs at present and the kiwi ref who allowed the headhunter to nut mvovs was blinded by his mission.
add that to the blatant crossing for the kiwi try and it all starts looking a bit contrived.
sure, the sharks have also benefitted and that just makes me think about tuning out really. the superrugby product is becoming second rate imo.

Today I am free to make full use of my couch and HD TV

@rangerman(rangerman)-460: did you hear Tony Johnson and Marshal describing how JPP was deceived, quote ‘Angst was expressed over the awarding of Aaron Cruden’s try. JP Pietersen was deceived, not obstructed. It’s not the same thing.’
27 Apr 2012, 08:06 am
Comrade Vavi says it’s OK
27 Apr 2012, 08:09 am
@WP Till I Die(WP-Forever)-454:
I dont like accusing refs of ineptness (?) as they have a tough job and they have to rely on their assistants to get it right….i cant phathom how assistants cant get it right…they are not in the thick of it like the on field ref.
Its the hometown reffing that leaves it open to cheating accusations.
27 Apr 2012, 08:13 am
There it is again
Phathom
It’s fathom, people. Fathom.
27 Apr 2012, 08:18 am
Again, all these ‘Yappies’ remarks. Wtf is a Yappie? I just dont get hese Ciwis and Vhalabies…

@virvarksteaks(virvarksteaks)-468:
Chill buddy its a day off for you(?) no need to get the blood pressure up!
We will explain another time what a jappie is but lets not spoil a good weekend!

@Dawn(Dawn)-467:
Have you watched fanthom of the opera…i cannot phathom it!
27 Apr 2012, 09:24 am
Wallabie still talking out his bumhole 12 hours later?
That must be some kind of record even for a when we.
And his buddy sucksprick.
What is it with these try hard immigrants?
I thought the shackledraggers were supposed to be fussy these days?
Any country responsible for the liked of Stuey Dickenson should STFU about poor refs.
Sharpish.
27 Apr 2012, 09:29 am
Welcome to the team Nikita.
You find yourself in *cough* esteemed journalistic company.

@the artist formerly known as gunther(gunther)-471:
Why should i? Are you exonerating your ref rubbish because of stu…we demote our refs your lot promote the rubbish otherwise how are your teams going to be competitive. Preventing the embarrassment?
You go on about stu dickenson then i go on about your rubbish lot…its called two way traffic! Ah but you see yourself limited to what you want hear…that warm fuzzy feeling had with a good portion of melktert!
By the way stuey has been a good ref for some years due to his correct marshalling of the breakdown…his weakness is that he can be pedantic…but that exposes some of the saffa teams.

@the artist formerly known as gunther(gunther)-471:
Am i a when we…i was born in Rhodesia but moved over here after independence…way after! A when we is a Rhodesian who still believes in Rhodesia.

Lol
27 Apr 2012, 09:55 am
Not so.
A when we can be any zimbo gasbag.
Stuey was howwid.
Now pipe down.
After your lads burgled the Cheetahs I would be keeping very quiet about refs.
(Still playing advantage)
Go lions.
27 Apr 2012, 09:56 am
@rangerman(rangerman)-460: Shocking tackle on Movo. Its disgusting he never got cited for that. What a doos Masaga is! That ridiculous tackle left him concussed as well and broke Mvovo’s nose in the process! I also notice how a Chiefs player deliberately trips over Mvovo’s head while he’s lying there out cold! Just disgusting. The Chiefs are as dirty as they come.
27 Apr 2012, 10:17 am
@rangerman(rangerman)-460: The problem is that NZ don’t have any good refs at the moment. Bryce (well the less said about him the better) too scared to travel to SA, and so they are fast tracking Glen Jackson through. He’s in over his head but they don’t have a choice, they have to field a certain amount of refs.

@IAAS(I am a stormer)-404:
Helen! When last was she here?
@viewer(viewer)-408:
Desperate! Go to a dating site then.
@carol(carol)-410:
Why can’t I just be Nikita?
I don’t drive a BMW or work for Liberty Life or Shell for that matter, I don’t live on a farmstead in the UK, I’m not Tac(y) to live in Quigney or even Deon Steggman who blogs about himself. I don’t wish to be Danie Gerber or Whitney Houstan to say the least. I have given up on transformation and find it difficult to understand the Heaven’s Game. I will never be a Shark Forever and don’t understand the hype about the Shark Girls. I just want to be accepted for making my Mark and just te(Vrede) with a job of serving those who are part of us. I can’t ph(f)athom the need to expose myself to those who doubt my style. I sing Carols at Christmas and hug a tree when needed. I truly miss the boys who loved to talkrugby. I know the reasons but no pun intended. I cherish the boy of Storms and will also die for Province. My blood is nie blou nie and would love to Reyts with William. The IAAS is like the world bank, lots of noise but little substance. I don’t want to be a Wallabie wannabe and enjoy a glass of Cane. Never lived through a Hurricane but that is but a Storm in a tea cup I guess. If I needed protection I would never hire a Sherrif as I will skopskiet my way from Danger. If it wasn’t for all the characters the story would be a bore – but gratitude is something especially for all.

Nikita
I’ve yet to watch your grande entrance on Keo TV, but a warm welcome from my side.
And good luck with all the animals here

@Nikita(Nikita)-480: Better than 99% of the drivel dished up by Vrede and JC
27 Apr 2012, 11:50 am
What a bunch of characters
We have amongst the team.
A Puma and a Rangerman
Willie and Lilly
There was a lot of confusion
But Helen was esteemed
Then there was Ethel
Who always stunned umpteen
You will never find more loyal
Than Gunter and Dawntjie
Who loves to check the spelling
And scorn some gelatine
As Winter comes abounding
And rugby talks continue
Time to come together
And support the Boks together

@Nikita(Nikita)-480:
Classic post.
One of the best i read for a very long time.
You are in the right profession.
27 Apr 2012, 11:54 am
@stormersboy(stormersboy)-481: Like Tac whenever he hears Steve Hofmeyer play.
27 Apr 2012, 11:58 am
and support the Boks forever.

Sharks to win this weekend.
27 Apr 2012, 13:01 pm
@Great White Shark(Predawn)-494:
Preach it brother.
I also forsee a bubble going pop for the brokeback pillow biter supporters.
27 Apr 2012, 13:02 pm
I reckon they’ll score the same amount of tries as last weekend too.
27 Apr 2012, 13:05 pm
@Nikita(Nikita)-480:
Nice. First scribe who can write something than makes sense.
27 Apr 2012, 13:06 pm
@Great White Shark(Predawn)-494:
I dont think they will get the bonus point…i believe its out of reach!
27 Apr 2012, 13:06 pm
We need every one of those four points.
27 Apr 2012, 13:09 pm
Sharks might be fighting it out with the Lazy Lions to avoid being made extinct for 2013
