Biggest wusses in sport?

So, this thread isn't about Gautham 'baby' Gambhir?

See you later....

Are you a fan?

Yes. I was worried because there was a press release that he'd grazed his knee and thought this thread was going to say he's missing the next year to recover and get cuddles from mumsy.

At the time I'd forgotten about Marc Lievremont - but as the French rugby coach can at least claim the extenuating circumstance of being certifiably insane, while Sapolu is just thick as a brick and nasty as an adder with PMS, I'll still stick with the Samoan.

Zac Guildford, for the grand tour in offensiveness during just one drinking spree? Is there something in the water of the Pacific we should know about?

Dodgy West Polynesians.

Who'll forget this class act?

Just as well they didn't lose the RWC final... Would have been mayhem in Auckland.

How could I have forgotten...?

Yet another Kiwi asshole

At least he is now admitting to being an asshole.

No mistaking he made mistakes but i still maintain SA got the better of them.

It's truly bad refereeing if fans of both teams feel they've been done in...

He's actually been nominated for NZ referee of the year, along with a guy who only stopped playing two years ago, and the top women's referee. Typically PC Kiwis, picking a woman, a rookie and a blind man...

I thought IRB was Ian Ronald Bell ... turns out it's some two bit organisation

Ay, you're right - rugby's equivalent of the ICC.

The biggest wusses in sport? Soccer players, the male ones, all of 'em.

South African sports officials in general...

The gist of the story: Five sports officials flying business class to accompany the only South African athlete at the Junior Winter Olympic Games. The athlete himself had to travel economy class...

That's not being a wuss, that's being a poes.

I am worried about the quota sytem in saffie sport...how else to explain why the Morkels are selected

How about the tennis players whingeing about not getting paid enough and playing too much.

yes players do act and are the worst in the world at crying wolf.

However unless you have played you might not realise how much it hurts to have be hit in the leg with the force of a sliding tackle with studs up at awkward angles. Mate, it hurts. Studs up is a send off offence and past injuries include the bones being completely fractured with feet hanging off the leg by skin and muscle alone.

Studs into the knee cap or ankle of your beloved thugby players would send them to the ground wincing in pain too.

learn to have some appreciation of it instead of your constant diatribes against soccer player and soccer as a whole.

indeed jgk...much like the dills who whinge about too much cricket but line up for IPL,,,many then struggle to get paid - as it would seem many of the franchises are run by 'well known brahmin cattle racing identities'

Absolutely! Love your command of the Afrikaans language, and Cybernanny's lack of it...

I don't mind them having a few moments clutching their painful shins when they've been nobbled by Kevin Muscat. When the replay shows (as it frequently does) they've not been touched at all, and they're still howling like a schoolgirl who's had her nails pulled out with pliers, questions might reasonably be asked about their resilience and honesty.
