  1. As I said, two completely different games, but 25 years ago rugby players didn’t have the laws protecting them they do these days.; high tackle , head contact, etc banned and punished severely, as has been seen in this World Cup, players being sent off for head contact when the fref and TMO have taken ages to make a decision on what looked like a 50/50 but the decision always goes against the player without the ball. Its pointless comparing rugby to soccer. Cheers.
  2. I think what Ray was getting at, and I agree with him, is that rugby players don’t roll around the floor , feigning injury and trying to get the opposing player sent off . None of this waving imaginary cards around, and I’m glad the refs are clamping down on it. I couldn’t believe Almiron doing it against West Ham and HIM getting the card, really stupid, but intelligence has never been a prerequisite to being a good footballer ! If a footballer had been hit with a tackle like the Argie did to the taff to save the game, he would have been in intensive care for a month ! But, two
  3. They’ve got the betting records from his phone and it shows he only bet on Milan to win and when he wasn’t playing. He’s using this as mitigation, but betting on sports your involved in is illegal in Italian law, not just their F.A. Hell be a big miss, but I’ve no sympathy for him. He knew the score, no pun intended ! Cheers.
  4. To quote Goebbels, “Tell a lie often enough and it becomes the truth”. Sieglien , “The bigger the lie, the more people will believe it “. Hiram Johnson, “ The first casualty of war is the truth”. Or the old lurcher man saying, “Believe nothing you hear and only half you see”. Cheers.
  5. Looks like Newcastle will lose their record signing, Tonali, for at least a year. In the Italian betting scandal, he originally said he only played blackjack and poker, but now admits to betting on Milan games. The other player who held his hands up immediately got 12 months ban reduced to 7 months in plea bargain. Worst case scenario for Tonali is 3 year ban ! Cheers.
  6. I think Belingham has the potential to be the GOAT, he’s extremely good now, but what disappointed me about him last night was when an Italian pushed him in the chest, he went down like he’d been pole axed and rolled around holding his face ! He doesn’t need to do that. Cheers.
  7. The Israelis are showing footage of an Hamas missile taking off and exploding and landing. They have also released intercepted phone calls of Hamas commanders talking about it. Who knows what really happened ? Cheers.
  8. Just watched Biden on stage with Netanyahu………wow, Biden couldn’t even read his prompt cards and went meandering off track. Embarrassing for the President of America, I think he should leave the talking to his Secretary of State. Cheers.
  9. Belgium-Sweden game abandoned at half time and fans told to stay in stadium until they get advise from security. Cheers.
  10. ISIS terrorist opens fire with an automatic rifle on Swedish football fans in Belgium killing two. Claims to be revenging the death of a six year old Palestinian boy. Looks like it’s starting…. Cheers.
  11. I had an almost perfect brood this year. I put 8 black leghorn x Bovan goldline eggs and 2 Irish Hennie game fowl eggs under my clucker and she hatched all bar one. I couldn’t have wished for a better mix , the hennies were both hens, and they were to go in with the pair I’ve got but sadly one disappeared, probably taken by a rat ! The layers were two cocks an five hens, perfect as I’m giving a trio to a pal and keep a cock and three hens myself. Cheers.
  12. Guys in Australia have told me about ‘Roos drowning dogs. Cheers.
  13. Coincidentally, it was exactly 50 years ago this week that the Yom Kippur / Ramadan war was at its height between Israel and Egypt and Syria ! Talk about history repeating itself ! Cheers.
  14. Or the United Kingdom, to include our Northern Irish friends? Cheers.
  15. Operation Soloman airlifted over 14,000 black Jews from Ethiopia and resettled them in Israel. Cheers.
  16. That’s a fair comment, but I think it’s beyond doubt that Hamas started this latest round of violence. Is Israel innocent in all this ? Of course not, but I see people on the streets of Newcastle actually denying that the Hamas incursion into Israel even happened and it’s all some Jewish plot ! Cheers.
  17. I’m not supporting any one over anyone else. I just find it strange that anyone would not believe what Hamas did. And no, I’m not an expert on Arab issues, but I tend to speak from actual experience, not from what I read or see on tv. Cheers,
  18. Do you honestly believe that Hamas didn't commit the atrocities that have been reported by every independent news outlet and every person who have witnessesd it ? Cheers.
  19. Shukran jazeelan ya habibi! LOL ! I enjoy the conversation, and the reparte', but I sometimes have to bite my tongue when I read people pontificating on things they have no idea about ! But that doesn't mean that everyone can't have an opinion or say on what's happening in their lives, and I appreciate everyone's opinion, even though I may not agree with it. As long as it's argument without rancour, I'll happily engage with it ! Cheers.
  20. I'm not disagreeing, mate, just talking. Cheers.
  21. You can never discount New Zealand, Australia, South Africa., its their game, yes we invented it, but they took it to a different level ! Cheers.
  22. I fucken love you mC ! You make me laugh when times are dire. Shukarillah !
  23. One of the best games I've seen ! Cheers.
  24. That's not really an answer to Paulus's question. Yes , there are other races and nationalities who suffer from sickle cell, but it's predominantly negroes, and people with African heritage, ( Spain has a huge Moorish population), but it is very rare in caucasians. Shukran jazeelan, habibi.
