Alexis Posted February 14, 2005 Share Posted February 14, 2005 Did you watch the match outcast?They deserved to be beaten! I was all smug at half-time but I had to grovel later.....I blamed the wind. OH said that the French had the wind too. Ah, but their wind was blowing in a different direction from ours so HELPED the French.....Let's not forget it was the bloody fouling Froggies who injured darling Johnny.

Piprob Posted February 14, 2005 Share Posted February 14, 2005 You've touched a raw nerve there Outcast.We have a site meeting with our electrician next week. He's a vice president of the local Rugby Club, and I reckon I'll be ribbed unmercifully. He might even put up the price. Then we have to talk to the plumber - whose son plays in the southern league. So we won't get much peace there either.We can't very well blame it on the absence of a 'kicker', can we?. Who wants to admit that their team absolutely depends on one man to win or lose a match? I thought the team took their humiliation very well; hardly an accolade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iceni Posted February 14, 2005 Share Posted February 14, 2005 How many chances do you have to miss before you admit you deserved to lose - dreadful game on both sides but the French pulled themselves together, the other crowd fell apart. John said 'The French are going to win this' in the first 10 mins. Bit like him and horses - he never bets but normally picks the winner (only National Hunt I might add).

Russethouse Posted February 14, 2005 Share Posted February 14, 2005 Don't think either side had much to gloat about, neither team were at their best - but some of the French team were a lot better looking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thejohnsons Posted February 14, 2005 Share Posted February 14, 2005 I am still reeling from the shock of yesterday's defeat by one ruddy point!!!!However, England's are supposed to be professional rugby players, and at International level, how can you expect to win having missed 6 place kicks (18 points) and a drop goal, within range and with a 100% view of the posts( 3 points)? England should have won by a massive margin. Neither team deserved to win yesterday. England clearly need Jonny back, and the French can think themselves very, very, lucky that they have won their last two games.Living in Southern Normandy it is safe for me to go out, as this is not a keen Rugby area.What chance England beating Ireland in Dublin in two weeks time? Slim, methinks!! After England's last two exhibitions, and some excellent play by both Italy and Scotland, in the last two weeks, I am very worried that the 'Wooden Spoon' beckons!!!Colin JohnsonSaint James, Manche Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quillan Posted February 14, 2005 Share Posted February 14, 2005 Just got up after a nights drinking to forget, but I still remember it all.My question is this. If our current coach was not good enough to be first coach before then why is he now?As for the inability of England to kick, well you can't blame anybody other than the guy's who's job it is to kick. Can't we find a place for Wilkingson where he does not have to tackle? What about this defector from that funny game, whats it called, Oh yes legue, leg, peg, no wait a minute, League, thts it I knew it would come to me, will he make a difference or will he just kick the ball back every time he's about to get hurt.England fouled, the French fouled, the ref was consistent in the fact he was equally inconsistent to both sides.And what of the Irish the week after next, I think it will be a case of England and Italy in a playoff for the wooden spoon.Personally, if I was a betting man, I think I would consider putting a bet on Wales.Yours, bitter, twisted and totally depressed.PS. I'm of to Vallettes (the Quillanais amongst you will know where I mean) to take my punishment, best get it over a done with before the next Quillan game.

Teamedup Posted February 14, 2005 Share Posted February 14, 2005 Wasn't it the french, although not just the french, who were complaining a couple of years ago, that England only won through kicking.It is only a game though. And there are never any winners without losers. And my admiration goes out to the italians, they have joined in, and probably knew that they have little chance of winning, but yet they still turn up and play the game.

My dear lady, rugby is NOT just a game, it's almost a religion, it's better than a hole in one, it's better than sliced bread, it's better than sex, it's better than........ and games are for winning ESPECIALLY when ones national pride is at stake.Gawd I'm getting tired again, another glass of wine to dull the pain and an afternoon snooze me thinks.YoursSTILL totally depressed.

Ron Avery Posted February 14, 2005 Share Posted February 14, 2005 How to deal with the French win? You just say in your best French accent "Nous avons gagné" and smile. Next time the French lose, you say "Allors nous avons perdu"Tres facile Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anton Redman Posted February 14, 2005 Share Posted February 14, 2005 Pretend to be Australian ( works for Isabel )Pretend to be Irish ( works till you discover the local Priest spent six month in Dublin )Tell them you played League ( AKA 'The Heritics Game' on one French Website) .

Quillan Posted February 15, 2005 Share Posted February 15, 2005 Just woke up from a long drunken sleep, yawn. What a nightmare I had, England lost to France, England's rating dropped to 6th in the world, Wilkingson not fit for the next two games, what a nightmare. God if it was all true it would be terrible. Well this drinking to forget lark is good, I can't even remember why I was drinking to forget, hic. Why have I got 76 empty bottles of beer and four empty 5 ltr wine box's and two empty bottles of Scotch in my lounge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Renaud Posted February 17, 2005 Share Posted February 17, 2005 In Wales one supporter castrated himself with a kitchen knife in celebration of their win over England. Maybe one might suggest this method of celebration to the French. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
