YOU BLOODY BEEEUUTTYY!!

[SinBin]

.. my only beef last night was Dunning, I just can't see what he brings to the team.

I can't understand what JM sees in him. I'd rather he give Longbottom more game time. (he's not injured is he??)

[palitu]

great match, im very horse, im sorry for my fellow supporters, i was a little drunk last night and yelled more than usual. (EEE13 or 3)

ref was fine, i didnt have a problem...

Loved pococks dive, where his feet were above his head... was classic...

Awesome game, awesome way to finish the home season. Pity we really cant be the table killers, as we are playing the lions and cheetahs, but i hope this helps the reads... that was a great game as well...

Go boys!

Pity we really cant be the table killers

Last night we might have killed the Crusaders given they play both the Stormers and the Bulls over in SA. They do play the Brumbies but in NZ I'd back the Crusaders to win that.

Will be a tight finish at the top

Kaplan again??? Wasnt he the muppet that cost us our first ever win... against the crusaders as well... or was it Jonker?

The ref was Marius Jonker but the it was the TMO - Geoff Acton - that made the call that denied the Force the try.

Kaplan had a good match last night - he let the game flow which suited the Force's game plan and we all benefited as a result.

It's easy to be critical of a referee but I wonder how many of the critics actually know the laws of the game and/or would have the slightest idea how to apply them in the hurly burly of a match ? Let's give the refs credit where it's due and some latitude when they make what appear to be mistakes when we have the benefit of TV replays. The refs have to make 95% of the calls on their own and in a split second.

I have been saying that even before he got here He must either step up or go !!!

I was speaking to a guy in the beer line at MES last night who turned out to be Ryan Tyrrell's dad. He seemed to be certain Ryan's playing career is over . Said that maybe there was a chance but that Ryan was feeling pretty miserable about it at the moment. I told him that his son has a lot of fans here and to give him our best wishes.

Bugger hey.

[jono]

i'd also heard that. and was speaking about it with a few on the bus last night. it's pretty dam dissapointing. i hope we can see him back on the park one day soon. his career was nowhere done
did you have a TWF card to give him?

[James]

No, I'm afraid I didn't.

God, I hope that does not turn out to be the case. If so, it's the worst bit of news in the history of this franchise.

Do you think that he was ok Ecky ?????????????

Only because we won If we lost all hell would have been loose

Don't detract from the win by whinging about the referee. Kaplan did well. He was decisive. He kept control of the match; and was consistent with calls both ways. That's all we can ask. His 'knock on' call for Pek was wrong - but then again - if anyone watched the Tahs/Brumbies tonight, then you'd have seen Steve Walsh perform far, far worse.

Shall think themselves accurs'd they were not here,
And hold their support cheap whiles any speaks
That cheered with us upon this Friday."[/QUOTE]


Hey, don't pick on me, I was there, so was my wife !

Greydemon .... real name Nick Fairweather

I wouldn't consider myself a fairweather fan (though you are cool Greydemon ), just one a bit far away, does that mean I am now accurs'd?
