Rugby - Hands Off Black!

[finbar]

What's this I read elsewhere about CoT nicking off from the OT forum? Who's going to help me keep Havak in line!?

[Havak]

Nobody

I am scaring them all off one by one it seems.

Why is CoT nicking off?

I'm glad Ravagon is quiet right now - he might miss me saying that I picked up a genuine 2005 Replica AB jersey for £20 in the sales. Well I need a shirt for when I am doing dirty DIY/Garden stuff.

[finbar]

I have no idea what he's doing. I was in a hurry and only saw the first post in another thread on the OT.

Presumably, when you're working in the front garden in your AB jersey, you'll feel the uncontrollable urge to spear tackle the first Irishman who walks past.

[Havak]

I might - but I'll put my hand up to it and accept my punishment if I do.

Fortunately if I wear that shirt the authorities won't be able to see me commiting any offence anyway.

[Havak]

Well I see what you mean - one of the more enigmatic 'I'm leaving' threads for a while.

[finbar]

One of the more spectacular cases of sour grapes I've come across.

Drat. It didn't link to the exact article. It's the first article on the page.

[finbar]

Arrived home from a delicious Sunday lunch at one of the area's nicest restaurants, decided to check out the HC scores on the BBC website. What do I discover? Leicester, tryless, are trailing S. Francais. What more do I need to make my Sunday utterly complete?

So I tune in to the broadcast. Leicester have drawn level. Twenty seconds later, they score. My otherwise blissful Sunday utterly destroyed. &"!^$!@! grenouilles!

[MOBIUS]

And those grenouilles stuffed the Blues on the same weekend...

[Havak]

The page must have changed? ‘Wallabies unholy Trinity’ is the first article now.

Tigers were trailing 22-12 on seventy minutes but there followed a remarkable ten minutes where Stade were simply blown off the park. The last ten minutes were worth the price of admission.

Qualification is in our hands now – a single point from the last game and we win the group. Ospreys travel to Paris – what price I wonder that they throw the game deliberately (such is the bad blood between our sides now)?

Perpignan generally don't travel well but they do seem to have done a job of work on the Blues Mobius? That is a hugely damaging defeat that puts Perpignan in the box seat for qualification.

You should find it on this page now. About halfway down, headed "Batty puts boot into Jones". Pay particular attention to his odd logic, not to mention the number of times he has been passed over for jobs.

EDIT. Damn! That links back to the original page. How can it?

We'll try again. This should be a link to the article:

The last ten minutes were worth the price of admission.

Not from where I was listening.

Ospreys travel to Paris – what price I wonder that they throw the game deliberately (such is the bad blood between our sides now)?

I'm willing to offer them a cash incentive.

[Havak]

You won’t need to Finbar – they will throw the game anyway if they think it will cost Tigers qualification. Or more accurately they might well get stuffed in France and then claim it was only because they threw it deliberately.

Fascinating argument from Mr Batty I agree. Eddie is unsuitable because he has only ever coached successful sides. Hmm – impressive logic there. Perhaps his obvious searing intellect is why he has been passed over so many times?

Presumably you heard the try that Louis Deacon ran in from 30 metres then? The poor lock was so knackered by that effort he was subbed straight after it.

[finbar]

I was so angry that I actually didn't hear the try in detail.

[Havak]

I wouldn't let it get to you - if we make the knockout stages I can't see us troubling the favourites (Toulouse and Sale).

[finbar]

With my luck recently ...

[Havak]

Finbar as Tiger's lucky charm.

Now there is an image for us!
