Re: RFU Disciplinary decision on Ayerza and Marler

Also, a lot of people (you're not the only one) have been saying that Wayne Barnes should have gone in there and broken it up. I did an entry level referee training course earlier this year and one of the things we were told is that you NEVER go in to break up a fight. Ever. For two reasons: 1. You...

Re: Something special is happening at Sarries (again)

Really special as in:

"Hello Mr Griffiths, it's your new player here".

"Hello lad, how can I help?"

"Just checking on the address of the ground we're playing at next season..?"

Re: RFU Disciplinary decision on Ayerza and Marler

The word is "Peng". According to this chap who has had loads of people reading "Mr Tickle" (it contains all the consonant and vowel sounds) British English is migrating to Asian- English or Jamaican-English , not American English. This is producing a different stress pattern as w...

Re: Do players not know the rules

It may also be the case that in a complicated and fast moving game of rugby, unlike the dull, one dimensional game of soccer, more than one infringement is committed simultaneously and the referee must choose. The teaching/refereeing starts at school and most players have been brought up with it. My...

Re: I may be talking a load of old tripe....

Big article on languge development in The Times today (Times 2 page 4) which starts with a question (dictionaries not allowed). It has a one word answer. "You see an attractive person. What do you call them with one slang word, beginning with 'P'?" I'll tell you the answer and why it is si...

There appears to be a poster of him under the Crumbie stand although it is blurred - something about crime prevention. 'Twas my wife noticed it first; hadn't got her gig lamps on (so couldn't see the words and everything looks blurred anyway) and who asked "Why we had a picture of Dallallallall...

Re: Quin's vs Tiger's

Whilst Quins had a good result against Gloucester last week and played well, today should be a different game. Last week the Gloucester did not front up and make the big tackles early and gave Quins too much time and space to move the ball. Gloucester appeared to be hungover from the LV Cup win and...
