hehehe

what is so very obviously lost on you is difference between deploring the incident and assassinating the character and integrity of the man…

but you didn’t understand that the first time i said it so i won’t waste my time explaining it again…

Thompson was and always would be a fringe player no matter how long he was in the AB environment.

But this stomping incident is unreal.

Even the thug Bakkies Botha could come up with an excuse for his foul play on occasions, but Thomson’s effort was beyond that.

Why you defend anyone who rakes another players head is lost on me.

who’s making things up now…?

please cut-n-paste the post in which i said ABs are average people…

however i suspect they may be a little more average than you believe… yes… even ABs make mistakes…

you must be a very righteous and correct fellow to advocate someone not playing for the ABs again because of one mistake… let’s hope you never find yourself or anyone in your family in the unfortunate position of making a mistake… i fear the confrontation with your own fallibility may be too much for you to bear…

but strange how you are so indignant about thomson… have never seen you post that any other non-average AB people should never play for the team again when they have erred and been pinged for foul play…

i responded directly to comments you made…

you are responding with generalizations, innuendo, red herrings and shifted goal posts…

quit while you’re behind…

also strange that here i am… a bok supporter… defending an AB player to you… an AB supporter…

there may be a message in there somewhere…?

maybe you’ll get it when you cool down…

Thompson knew what he was doing and he is an idiot as a consequence.

you serious…??? hahaha…

read your post #57 again…

better still… let me cut-n-paste it for you…

The man is an idiot and will never play for the AB’s again – I hope.

If that happens it will be a epitaph on his career that he will live with for the rest of his life.

Adam Thompson = Idiot

you said it brads…

own it…

Good grief, this is a prime example of people like you making things up from God knows what and then expanding it into some outrageous assumption.

Is this a trait of all Saffa’s and does this explain the assumptions SARU have used in appointing or sacking coaches over the last 17 years.

okay okay…

i agree…

to disagree…

got your back bud…

i disagree both of you… he is not an idiot or a nasty person or a dirty player…

he did an idiotic thing…

big difference…

these things happen in rugby and in life… but to assassinate a person’s character and integrity for one mistake is going a wee bit over the top dontcha think… ?whether its a windy day or not…

sheesh if we had to judge ourselves on keo by single posts none of us would look like anything less than raving psychos…

everyone makes mistakes…

that’s funny… by your own posts you demonstrate you have a major issue with thomson (based on more than that one second of play) and wish he never plays for the ABs again…

now you’re so intent on being the victim you’re determined to tar everyone with the same brush… pity… thought you were more balanced than that…

“It is folly to punish your neighbor by fire when you live next door.”

i’ll defer to your experience wrt wizzing in the wind… just hope you wash your hands before typing your posts…!!

@Hurricane-65:

yeah bud… i know you can’t… that’s why i thought i’d mention it…

look i know some guys on ALL sides like to come to keo for their daily dose of mud-wrasslin’… truth is that people on all sides just can’t wait to put the boot into the other side when they perceive the other side is down or weak…

but the facts are it was guys like leonard and robinson who got the irb to review the sentence…

like i said… i like thomson and was happy to see him selected… obviously i can’t speak for brads irrational feelings about the player… you know ‘us’ saffricans…

hey hang on a bit…???

Just like in life, repeat convictions should be held against you.

Except, McCaw is not being constantly penalized therefore he has not infringed and you are an outrageous whiner wishing he was.

Saying bakkies botha is the worst thug to ever play rugby is as true as richie mccaw being the most prolific cheat to ever set foot on the field

The stamping incident was separate.

To my mind he knew what he was doing and was attempting some delicate procedure that involved contact with a players head, presumably hoping to extricate the ball.

Just what planet was the man on.

As I said, he is an idiot.
