Re: Racing Metro Paris at Nottingham
Just to put it into context, my neighbour considers all English Referees as biased against the French, and he makes no distinction between English, Welsh, Irish or Scottish - as far as he is concerned, if they speak English, they are English, and by definition, biased. This worldly view was taught t...

Re: Job Marler racially abusing a Welsh player? No Sanction
So when is something racist/offensive and when is it not?? This is my problem, in a nutshell. I grew up in different times, admittedly, and to be fair, we called all sorts of people by various names - it was the way it was, but we didn't mean any harm. For me, discriminatory behaviour, be it on gro...

Re: Job Marler racially abusing a Welsh player? No Sanction
The other day I called a spade a spade. The spade knew he was a spade, but the fork alongside took exception to my remark. The spade said that in fact that he didn’t mind being called a spade, but the fork took no notice whatsoever of his views and sought the opinion of a higher authority. The highe...

Re: Marler - World Rugby step in
Marler to face hearing. http://www.bbc.com/sport/rugby-union/35887510 So, Marler says something, then apologises. Lee accepts the apology (it's just banter, no worries)but the WRU deem it appropriate to ignore the feelings of grown men, and investigate further. There is nothing to investigate - what...

Re: Job Marler racially abusing a Welsh player? No Sanction
Who remembers the old Welsh coach Gareth Jenkins (whose record with the Welsh XV was not the best) being called 'gypo' by disgruntled Welsh supporters? Surely a case of the pot calling the kettle black, eh? You don't seem to have grasped the real point in all of this. It's only the English who can ...

Re: Marler - World Rugby step in
Oh dear. I wouldn't mind if the Welsh were whiter than white. I've suffered enough English "so and so" comments from their supporters in recent years, so and so being used to replace any swearword you can think of. Yes, isn't it funny how offensive and discriminatory language only ever se...

The fact that he has felt it necessary to apologise for telling the truth is probably the most disappointing and upsetting thing I will hear today. A tragedy.ellis9 wrote:Warren Gatland has now apologised for saying it was banter.

Excuses for parking illegally
A woman eventually confessed that, when using her dead grandmother's disabled parking permit, she (the Grandmother) was not actually shopping. Brilliant though, was that she was; (ready for it!)
Using it in her Grandmother's memory!!
