spunko12345 Posted February 4, 2017 Share Posted February 4, 2017 It's not so much of a posh persons game here especially in the valley areas where there literally aren't any posh people. I was tempted to put a tenner on another grand slam for England but i couldn't bring myself to do it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DieselDaisy Posted February 4, 2017 Share Posted February 4, 2017 What is a posh welshman? There is a joke there, involving a sheep and a cravat but I've not ironed it out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DieselDaisy Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 Shame about Italy as they played well in the first half, and with everyone pointing to them as reason to introduce some relegation/two tier system into the Six Nations. Score (slightly) flatters Wales one feels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why are you (not you personally but the Rugby fraternity) faffing around with probably the best ran competition in sport? There was absolutely nothing wrong with the Six Nations! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spunko12345 Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 Eddie Jones is a prat, a typical Aussie doofus who thinks he gets into the opposition psyche with his "mind games" . Wales will probably beat England tommorrow because they are a better side (they are) and Wales are at home. Trust me, Wales will win comfortably. Look through this thread I'm very rarely out with my predics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look through this thread I'm very rarely out with my predics. Tyson Fury had a great response when people asked him about Klitschkos mind games and the various things he did and how they affected him or how he went about circumventing them and he basically said he's an ignorant uneducated clod and too thick to understand half of it anyway so mindgames didn't really apply for him, he was altogether too simple. I thought that was kind of genius in a way, too thick for mindgames 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DieselDaisy Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 That is what Aussies do. 'Sledging' they call it in cricket (Steve Waugh originally called it 'mental disintegration'). Apparently if you visit Australia on holiday they sledge you. ''Pommie bastard'' basically means ''hello'' there. This is what happens when you allow convicts to form a country. Should have kept them in shackles. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Len Cnut Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 I could never understand how that works. I mean when you know someones doing something deliberately...and its so deliberately unsubtle and obvious, it just sort of becomes laughable to me.

The worst one I think was when an English debutante came out and the Aussies went, ''who are you? Why are you walking out here? You're not good enough to play for England''. Gilchrist (keeper) used to say things like, following a fluffed shot, ''dodgy action''. McGrath used to make two English batsman his ''bunnies'' and sledge them ruthlessly. Another one. When Nasser Hussain, who has a big nose, was batting, Waugh said loudly ''I want you really in front of the batsman's nose'' before placing the fielder at deepish mid-wicket!!

My brother has a entire laundry list of these, i gotta say it's the only time I've found anything about cricket interesting. Actually I tell a lie, i liked that documentary you put my way...but only cuz it's sort of framed as a human tale and thats me all over, stories, whether in book form or movies or whatever. It's a great little tale, fairytale-ish to a point, the big bad Australia with it's Thompsons and Lillies and the sort of well meaning but inferior West Indies who kinda, through force of will and character forge victory where it seemed impossible...then that wonderful post script where they went on to be unbeaten for 15 years, whether it test or one day i can't remember, it's delicious stuff really.

spunko12345 Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 Our school was more of a football school. One well meaning PE teacher decided to start a rugby team for our year. One lad (whose nickname was Blockhead on account of his square head) thought this was fantastic as he thought it gave him an excuse to have a fight and not get done for it. About 15 minutes into our first game the ball goes loose and their player dives on it, Blockhead comes steaming in and boots the poor fucker in the head. He got sent off and I can't remember us ever playing another game. Blockhead certainly didn't fucking head case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember playing and like, totally not understanding so the lads on the team giving me like...a single defined task, which me and my mate James interpreted as free rein to basically knock the shit out of this American kid I remember him getting the ball and us two just steaming at him, him passing it and us just keeping after him. The game turned into a free-for-all fight and me and James chased this lad right off the pitch and off into the distance with him shouting back at us 'i ain't got the ball, look, look!' 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chasing him down the high street in muddy kit he must have been thinking what the fuck is going on here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
