"I think in a close game like that you can always pick on one or two ifs and buts decisions, and we could look on one or two things where we didn't get the bounce of the ball either," he said.

Damascene conversion for Mallinder !
Re: Damascene conversion for Mallinder !
I would not bet any money on that No conversion for Voldemort the only reason he said this was because Saints won and I suggest if they had lost he would have given a completely different reaction.Purebob wrote:Hallelujah !

If I were you I would be very wary about taking the Dark Lord's name in vain as he may like being compared to Mallinder and I understand that he can get very nasty when riled.Purebob wrote:Hallelujah !

As for Mallinder - well if that last try had not been awarded I doubt very much that he would be expressing the same sentiments.
Nowadays referees decide matches, players by how much.
