    Not quite as bad but I did get regular hidings from the jocks all the way up to 4th form until I wigged out and did a bit of damage in return - after a while the rep for "crazy" got around...

    The worst bit was my first primary school teacher with her outspoken derision - seems her way of "empowering" students was to empower them to pick on "nerds".

    hehehe. Just sick of hearing how "hard done by" our "heroes" are when they get banned from playing for deliberately inflicting a hideous injury or when they have to go to court for beating someone up at a night club or they lose to another team.

    When our real heroes fail - when a family burns to death because the fire brigade can't get to them or the volunteers fail to find a person after days of tramping though snow and ice or the cops fail to stop some lout from beating his wife to death, they get "they should have done more."

    fair call mate but the fuss around the all blacks should never be taken that seriously anyway...and its just the media doing what they do best, sensationalising the trivial, and trivialising the sensational - its hardly the players fault

    btw...a punch had nothing to do with it

    Yes obviously it troubles him so much he has put all this time into the thread. I think he's in denial. Must like the look of Dan or something...

    In regards to the game, argh, yet again! Yeah the ref was appauling but we only have ourselves to blame. Yet again we thought we were invincible and were out played and out thought by the better team on the day. It's hard not to laugh even though it is quite depressing.

    Got another long four years to think about it.

    yeah, the annoying thing this is that even tho we were decidedly crap in the 2nd half, we actually did do enough to win...IF the officials had their eyes open....that forward pass was so obvious you could even see it on the camera front on i think it actually went further forward than sideways

    poor guys must feel pretty ripped off....i bet the ref and the tj's are gonna feel a bit stupid when they look at a replay

    In any sport you play the hand you are dealt (refs etc) thats how it goes.
    The AB's were beaten fair and square.
    If they couldn't get enough points to win, they lose.

    Did anyone notice how many people logged on once the game was over? One minute there was less than 25 people on then there were 50+ and then a thread where they're all bitchin about the loss.
    "I came into this game for the action, the excitement... go anywhere, travel light,... get in, get out,... wherever there's trouble, a man alone... Now they got the whole country sectioned off; you can't make a move without a form."

    Paved roads are just another example of wasted tax payer dollars.

    who says we're 'under it' ?

    are we not allowed to discuss it without you coming along, stating the bleeding obvious and telling us to get over it?

    if you're not interested in it, then dont post

    Never could understand the point of a pack of grown men running around a field and tackling each other to gain control of an oddly shaped ball.
    Yes, I am pedantic about spelling and grammar so get used to it!

    Or as a friend of mine says " A bunch of grown men running around a field, in a random and erratic fashion, chasing an odd shaped ball."

    The most over-hyped, over-prepared, over-indulged team in the history of New Zealand sport. Soft-cock chokers.

    How long before the grey jersey gets blamed?

    I was fortunate enough to be sleeping through the game...

    ...but I have just come back from a friends house, and so far I have heard the following theories on why the All Blacks lost:

    *The alternative strip
    *Bad refereeing
    *French cheating
    *Ref being paid off by bookies
    *Performance enhancing drugs being used by French

    They were all brought up in a 2 minute conversation.

    I was pretty much expelled from the premises when I mooted that it was tough shit that some of the French misdemeanors were missed, and that was it possible that they just played a better game over all.

    S'funny, the English beat the Aussies by 2 points - have yet to hear the conspiracy theories about that one...

    Personally, it's a game...

    The truth is they lost because the didn't get enough points on the board. Oh hang on though, the ABs are infallible, the French must have cheated, now to pour another few million bucks into preparing for the next world cup. Will have to start planning and training now to be ready.
