@ufo-95:
cheers boet, have a good one.

funny you should say that Nils because i have pictures of all black players doing just that. sure it was back in the ameture era but it is pretty damning

okay…

thing is… i believe rugby is the best sport ever… i believe that other people believe that too… which is why we all play or support players and teams who play the sport…

if we all have this basic belief system… i can’t see who any other player or supporter, no matter where in the world the come from or what country they live in or what teams they support, can be that different from anyone else who loves rugby…

whenever i meet another genuine rugby lover i immediately find that we have way more in common than we have differences…

that’s what i choose to focus on…

(yeah corny and sounds ‘world in uniony’… but true nonetheless…)

@i_love_u_bakkiesbotha-92:

good for you Bakks…

nothing new age about it though…

simply recognising and respecting each individual and his or her rights to be…

anyway… been fun as usual… next time..

gotta saddle up the palomino…
the sun is going down…

my approach is too coarse and abrupt maybe, and i dont know if i’ll ever get the hang of this new fangled new age feel good hippy approach to interaction

Oh, well.

is this even a debate..?..

that one needs to stress the point to the kiwis.

wow

might i say though, just so we dont bring blame on ourselves for confusing issues in any way deliberate or otherwise, by our kiwi friends… shouldn’t we rather refer to it as stamp than stomp?

and if yes, then is it correct to say Adam Thomson STAMPED on a acotish players head…?..

You see it as looking after it’s assets.

I see it as bringing the game into disrepute.

The man who defends the indefensible is to my mind as guilty.

OK. Then we’ll just have to agree that I’m right and you’re wrong

Seriously though. I’m just taking the p1ss a bit anyway. At the end of the day, I don’t believe in conspiracy theories, but I am very cynical and highly speculative as to why your boys seem to get lighter sentences and lesser penalties and I strongly believe that this may have to do with the amount of noise your rugby honchos make when the need arises.

I find the same thing with el Pomarino’s

But you won’t convince me that it is a “standing on a head”.

Is that the guts of your beef with NZ.

In other words, you are jealous you can’t keep up with the Joneses

by all means, if i in fact did do this then remind of this incident.

short of this, i repeat, WE have no agreement.

of course it’s not… but you have missed my point entirely….

saying someone must be blind to see things one way or not see them another can’t be more dismissive…

yeah, as far an insults go if this was cited it would be low-level infringement receiving a lower-end penalty…

but the point i was trying to make is… why even go there…?

why not just rationally lay out your case and show others the respect of letting them do the same… if you can’t/don’t/won’t see the other’s point of view then move on… once you’ve stated your case simply repeating it another 100 time sin more insulting terms does nothing to strengthen anyone’s argument or credibility…

someone mentioned above it’s those who shout loudest and longest who get the special treatment… but shouting loudest and longest on an interweb forum isn’t going to make anyone else see your perspective at all… it only results in other people trying to shout louder and longer and/or cheering each other on… but the purpose quickly become to out-shout each other instead of debating the issue…

which is what i’m going to do… have stated my case… no point in restating it endlessly… so i’m moving on…

He didn’t “hit” or “ruck”.

He stomped.
