World Cup 2015 (IV)

Time for an Elders/reputation argument?

Would you like some skag for that, Mr bucket?

No thanks.

Just saw this from Haddin's ill-advised radio interview whilst still 'tired and emotional' after the win:

"I've got Josh Hazlewood (here) ... he's never been drunk in 30 years. It's a problem. We just can't get him drunk. "He's an absolute nightmare to drink with."

I'm tempted to suggest that he should head over to embee.

Hazelwood is 24.

Obviously Haddin was mute. It should happen more often.

Is that at me? If so, I thought I'd already agreed with you. Never liked Hayden, thought Harbhajan was a qunt, Tendulkar never committed any obvious sins on the field.

The Windians seem to be universally loved. Not many qunts.

Not at all, as you said we are in agreement!

I reckon i could sort him out.

I doubt it. Embee has a large volume of distribution and a very practised liver.

Isn't that what we all suspected when we saw Verne in and Abbott out?

No.

Utterly galling for SAf fans if there's any truth to it.

if not philander they would have played someone else, I am sure.

Mr. Ukulele Mbambwa has just texted that Phangiso should play in place of some white bowler. Mr. Ukulele just woke up and was reminded that tomorrow was the semi-final.

& that being said. Tis not it time to close this darned thread down.

Why?

Well perhaps not close down, but Un-Rikki.

It's over for 4 years. No matter how you analyse it.

No problem with derikkieing

Vilks could hardly have it said it better hismelf.

Still, IDGAF if the world judges Aussies as qunts. It's a lame line - "Oh congrats to Aus for being the best in the world, but BTW, they're still a pack of qunts". If it makes Englishmen feel better to do that, have at it.

Skulls, don't know if you saw my input on this (linking to the article), but I didn't think Greg Baum was a Pom.

For myself - and as far as I can see, for BM or anyone bar one or max. two on here - I don't think it's sour grapes. Aus proved the best team in the final, between two of the three clearly outstanding teams in the comp, and that's as it should be. But some of us think it IS a bit dispiriting if the game becomes a completely amoral form of a narrow reading of Darwinism: all that matters is winning, winning, winning, no holds barred, and no other aspects or obligations to be considered.

Still reckon Safs are home but I guess it only takes one or two bad balls.

legendary work; this did not pass unnoticed

I know that's tongue-in-cheek, but I like BD, and respect his honesty - even if one or two of his political views (on known subjects) make my hair despair. I've no doubt the feeling's mutual on that score!

The plane was fast.

I'd just like to add, if England were a winning team of qunts then this would be preferable to a bunch of losing nice guys. But a winning team playing with good sportsmanship is always preferable to a winning team of qunts.

What about a team of mostly nice guys, but tainted with a few qunts, like most teams?

The easiest thing to do would be to overlook or at least minimise the qunts in your own team, but play up and even generalise the antics of those few in the teams you pathologically dislike, especially if that fitted in with your own prejudices ...

we do not describe all poms as boors because of Anderson Broad and previously Swan and Prior

Aye, look at England. A more decent bunch of losers you couldn't find (except for Jimmeh - he's a right qunt).

Yeah!!! Look at England eh? It's making me feel better by slating Australia's generally awful attitude on the pitch. And it really hurts that you've mentioned England - a team so close to my heart. It's not like I've been slating our generally awful attitude. Oh. Wait. I have been, when applicable.

The difference is that the English forummers don't try to make excuses for the behaviour or feel personally insulted by it....

Just to clarify - just because I've slated some of your players, doesn't mean I want to nuke Australia.

By f*ck some of you can be a bunch of pussies sometimes. Grow the f*ck up.

Dicks. I'm with Bucky... close this shit down.

Dan has spoken - I think. It's hard to tell through all the spit.
