Pretty sure Bakkies wont give you a write again.
They just show their support to the man and even Hoskins understand it.
For me its a sign the team sure stick together as a team.
Thinks is fair, Bakkies gets two week for rucking, BoD & Sheridan even not penalise for taking out our two back up locks , not cited no nothing.
The whole citing system is a fuck up , everyone knows it and those bitching about Schalks only getting 8 weeks, sure should back the arm bands, but now thowing tantrums about it.
Its not about , Bakkies Schalk or the coach , blame the system and if this is the way the players feels about it, well then its OK, at least its about rugby and not some shite kind of political party or someone important that got a heart attack.
You pillock! Since when is questioning the officials of the game something rugby teams actively do and encourage? This is just pure arrogance from the SA coach. And he is a laughing stock outside your small country.
Arrogance, ignorance and contempt. Maybe they should remove the Springbok from the jersey and replace it with a penis.
PaarlBok,
Perhaps you don’t see justice like the rest of us.
If you were to eye gouge a civilian in the street you could possibley be charged with grevious bodily harm.
The System has been very leaniant with Burger on this one.
He should have got 8 months.
cook
can i get one, I’m English and Simon Shaw just got a 2 week ban…he won’t miss anything important but I want to complain to someone…
Can Lote wear one for himself?
Why didn’t Stuey Dickinson wear one in honour of Steve ‘Pints’ Walsh?
It could have read “Just-pissed”
My fave bit of this rubbish is:
No mention that the Shalk Burger banning was soft as shite and wasnt consistant with what’s in the IRB guidelines (which is a 6 month ban).
My armband will have the number for the wahbulance on it for the saffas to call.
Free Nelson Mandela!
Is there any truth in the rumours that Bakkies will be serving his 2 week suspension in cell 46664 on Robbin Island?
I’m surprised Bakkies didn’t get Brendan Cannon to appear as a character witness
Or Stephen Hoiles. There’s that time that Bakkies ‘accidently’ tried to eat his fingers.
It really is a disgrace to wear armbands for such a trivial matter. Until now they have been worn as a mark of respect to remember the passing of someone close to the team. The Brumbies honouring the memory of Shawn MacKay in this way is a recent and very appropriate example.
Throwing your toys out of the cot is behaviour more becomming of Indian Cricketers than Scumboks, and they’ve lost a lot of respect through this action.
I would go closer to understaning their motivation if it were an all round nice guy with a glowing record, but to put up Bakkies freaking Botha as the posterchild for onfield morality defies belief. Look up Bakkies Botha on youtube and you’ll find a catalog of foul play and indescretions. Biting, eye-gouging, flying headbutts and cheap high late shots are his modus operandi.
And the irony of this happening at the same hearing as Burger’s criminally lenient treatment seem to be lost on the boneheads too.
OK so you agree the citing process is a vokop?
I do agree the citing process is kak – Bakkies should have got two weeks for his illegal cleanout on Mortlock last year, 8 weeks for biting Brendan Cannon, 16 weeks for biting Steven Hoiles (with the prior)… and these are just the incidents that immediately come to my mind.
Schalk should have been given 26 weeks minimum, certainly it should be a long enough period for his mentor to agree that he did something (anything) wrong.
Don’t worry they can wear their favorite dinosaur stickers for all I care, even if they do get a sniff against us master-coach will sub Broussouw, du Preez and du Plessis off at 55 mins and we’ll romp home..
Well you all run into the personal stuff because its Bakkies or Schalk or Snor , I understand that.
If you think the citing system is nice and cosey co ahead , help yourself.
Strange no one find much wrong in the Bakkies incident, go to your Ask Bakkies thread , the players have gone through their official channel, Sarpu and obvious they still feel strong to show their view, even Hoskins backing them.
So ja carry on, nice.
Bok bashing aside, I think Bakkies deserved a week! It seemed fairly obvious by the angle he hit the ruck, that his intent was to injure Adam Jones rather than to counter ruck. If it was anyone else you are right they probably would have got off – but that is what happens when you have a well earned reputation!
Nice logic – the SARU president is backing the Scumboks, they must be right!
I didn’t think there was much wrong in this Bakkies incident, but to carry out a protest when the dirtiest player in modern rugby gets a 2 week ban is laughable. To protest in the form of arm-bands is an insult to the tradition of remembering fallen comrades.
I am just stating Hoskins because everyone jump on the Snor train.
Oh well I’ll file this one and those critizing them sure have to walk the plank and not critizising the IRB citing system just for fallen comrades sake.
For those foreigners reading this, Snor is P de Villiers. Snor being Afrikaans for ‘tache…
Moses,
In 1992 Richard Loe (Carozza will remember him) eye-gouged Greg Cooper in an NPC final.
He got 9 months for that. 9 months, not 9 games.
It’s still a point of contention here that he should have got more.
Also Loe’s suspension was deferred for 6 months so he served it at the beginning of the NZ domestic season. He could have played in France during his deferment but they didn’t want him, effectively making his suspension 15 months.
But then again, there was no way his gouge was accidental.
.-= Harfish´s last blog ..Springbok arm bands reek of hypocrisy =-.
I’m a Bok fan and I’m appalled. What a bunch of babies.
Regarding Schalks matter.
NZ Herald
It is quite funny… The more time goes on and the Bakkies ban becomes less of an issue, the more you realise how gay that was of the Boks.
Maybe all the other teams in the world should wear arm bands saying “de Villiers is queer”.
Good stuff gagger, you got a mention on Ruggamatrix!
I spotted Lote wearing one yesterday. Deadset !
