powerdesal Posted February 6, 2009 Author Share Posted February 6, 2009 Thanks Claire, but I don't get FR2 in this part of the World [:(] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quillan Posted February 7, 2009 Share Posted February 7, 2009 Got the beer and snacks in, the BBQ cleaned down and my mates turning up at 3:30. England on Sky and French match on FR2. Just a bit more cleaning then a quick change in to my England shirt, cap and scarf then settle down to hopefully a good afternoons entertainment. May the best team win and good luck to whichever team you support. It's my most favorite time of the year, well next to Christmas.PS. We are off to Ireland for the England Ireland game this year thought we would give the England France match a miss this year and do something different. My French mates are looking forward to getting their teeth round some Guinness and Oysters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quillan Posted February 7, 2009 Share Posted February 7, 2009 There is a lot to say but to put it in a nutshell if I had paid £80 for ticket to watch England I would want my money back. If I had paid £80 to watch France and Ireland I think I would have felt I had had my monies worth. Roll on tomorrow.I think, without watching Wales yet that the one to really watch could be Wales v Ireland. Personally I think I might have bought the wrong ticket (i.e. England v Ireland). Still early days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kitty Posted February 7, 2009 Share Posted February 7, 2009 My OH, who watched wall-to-wall rugby today, agrees with you. His only criticism was that he didn't understand the French commentary.He has two tickets for Wales -v- Ireland and the other person will not be me.... By the way, he was there 2 years ago when Wales won the championship at the decider game against Ireland. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ron Avery Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 Well yes apart frrom the fact that he was South African, so your original argumernt has no validity, why would the decisions in that match worry the French? IMHO they had more cause for complaint with some of the inconsistent, obscure and harsh decisions given against them by the welsh ref. Nothing to do with France being the biggest threat to the Welsh chances of the grand slam by any chance[Www] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alan Zoff Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 Most of the viewers in our (English) local quickly departed after the England-Italy match, having watched in almost silence. The few that remained for the Ireland-France match made a lot more noise.Says it all, really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote]because my post was about the remarks made by the French commentators on the England/Italy match as I clearly stated.Try reading what is posted before shooting from the hip. I quote"MyOH, who watched wall-to-wall rugby today, agrees with you.

Kitty Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 Norman - Thanks. My OH says that explains a lot to him. He is now gone off to watch Wales -v- Scotland on a friend's TV on BBC. When Wales is playing, it is serious stuff.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
