Thread: Bakkies Botha yellow card. Should football have the same

As naughty as Bakkies is, there does often seem to be a different rule for the Jarpies.....

After all his victim in his Lions banning said it was a ridiculous ban.

The team did look cute in thier Justice For Bakkies armbands though....5555

Krige....now that's a different story.....bloody Zambians.

LC did you agree with what they done or are you gunna say it was a spur of the moment act?

Not at all thuggery and don't believe for a min that they planned it.Both of those players are just not like that.Unfortunate as it was.

Makes it perfectly legal then, which it obviously was because neither of them were sanctioned and rightly so.

Bastions of the game them Keewees.

Did I say that it was legal? Anyway,we are as near to perfect as you can get.

I love the AB's (and I am not a kiwi) and beforehand respected and admired both players but to pick a guy up who doesn't have the ball, turn him upside down and dump him on his head and spine is pretty fooking sick.

A premeditated plan to take out one of the opposition's best players I am afraid.

^Loy Toy, if it was premeditated, somebody would have heard about it.It's a very small place here and everybody knows somebody in Rugby....2degrees of separation if you like.If it was Richard Loe, Troy Flavel or Sean Fitzpatrick, then I would believe it.

They knew him as one of the opposition best players, turned away from the play, picked him up and did the deed.

When you talk about a game before it starts you pick out the danger players and work out a plan and how to slow them down. That's Rugby and you normally hit them with the hardest ligit tackle possible but what they done was not Rugby mate.

If you agree with the assault then that's your call and furthermore Giteau's attack on a man without the ball shamed me and as an Aussie. He should of had his arse busted for that.

I'm not agreeing with it at all.I'm just saying that those players are/were not the type to go out and premeditate something.

You look at it again mate.



They were not contesting the ball, they grabbed O'Driscoll and assaulted him in fact if it wasn't for the fact he had the luck to get his head out of the way it could of killed him.

I know most of these guys are just brain dead meat heads but fooking hell, what were they thinking?

Do you think the All Blacks premeditated the jumping out of the lineout against Wales in 1978 in an attempt to win a last minute game winning penalty?

It looked premeditated as both of them flung themselves at the same time, but I guess somebody would have heard about it if they had. I know I didn't hear anything at the time.

You're right LT, they could have killed him.....555555

You didn't know that all coaches will publish his team's game plan in the Planet Rugby Mag a week before the game Bob?

Some player's go out during a game and to get even with a hard tackle or even a high shot but never to try and kill someone.

To win a penalty illegally is damn good premeditated coaching I reckon.

Apparently, Andy Haden put it to Graham Mourie during an injury break.and apparently all Mourie did was wink at him.Anyway,Wheel was penalised for pushing frank oliver.som nom na

Half correct, It was planned before and Andy haden suggested using it during the break....

it came from having been successfully used by Waikato (I think) in the previous New Zealand season. Yes, Wheel was penalised for putting his arm on Oliver's shoulder, but if Oliver hadn't dived it would have been a nothing incident and unlikely to have been given as a penalty.

Either way, I don't blame the Keewees for blatant cheating (I mean...Richie McCaw), I blame the tosser Roger Quinnteton...English prick.

^Hadens book explained it differently.Roger Quinnteton should have penalised the Welsh on many other occasions.Richie McCaw plays fair and by the rules.He's also not a thug....

The interviews I have on a DVD with Graham Mourie and Andy Haden explain it exactly like I have described it....video...with their lips moving....conclusive for me, they even go into great length about how Waikato (I think ) used it.

I do love the justification for cheating though.....they were really just redressing the balance so unfair had it gone for them to date.....5555

Actually when you see it now it was the most amateurish attempt ever seen, Jeez, richie could have taught them a thing or two....

"Jeez fullas, uf yur gunna cheet, prictuse ut furst eh"

^Yes BC I agree about redressing the balance thing.Very good accent , but you forgot the expletives.

Richie is perfect, he would never swear....

^True
