Yah we played our second string reserve team mate. After all the crying from the Lions over a few tough tackles SA went easy in the last match. The problem is euro rugby is like 2nd div rugby when compared to the south hemisphere, we don't tickle each other here we actually tackle as the Lions found out

Sore loser. Funny how you won the series but had a close scrape in the first two matches then were owned in the last game. Owned.

Owned..HA HA HA...mate look at the series score 2-1 your wannabe lions got beat. Then your media went crying about the "bully" suid afrikans and got Bakkies banned unfairly. When all we do is play the game hard but fairly. To be honest the Lions were only meant to be a warm up series for us...The main course is the tri nations...

@Jeremy: Yes, overall I'd say that the Boks deserved the series win, although it certainly wasn't as comfortable as they would have been expecting. In reference to your "we play hard but fair" comment, I'd say that Burger rather destroyed any defense you may have had before the series with his criminal (quite literally) gouging. Oh, and I thought that Botha's ban was entirely justified too. He needs to read the definition of a fair tackle in the rule book.
06 Jul 09 - 12:31 gmt
KONG said ...
@Jeremy, are you a living stereotype or just a troll? Fair enough it was a second string, we played 1/3 of our first choice too due to a rather full hospital ward. Boks deserved the series, hats off to them, but if you'll look at the total aggregate score for the 3 games and the total tries scored by each team you might want to reconsider writing off the Lions as second division- it undermines any semblance of truth in what you have to say.
06 Jul 09 - 13:19 gmt
Jeremy said ...
@KONG I'm only messing mate...Look the Lions played well for a team that only had a few weeks prep and is a relic of bygone age...so fair play.
@Confused Im sorry mate gotta disagree about Bakkies ban. That tackle was not dangerous, Jones had his arm trapped hence why he got injured, not bcos botha went OTT...I can see why burger got banned as he did, though don't think he meant to gouge his eye

Ah Ms R, the voice of reason. Thank you for joining with what I expect is several 'anons' to condemn this sham of a blogger. He is no Finbar

MsR said ...
Well as an 'irrevenrent' (sic) blogger of some note (though not on Fin's starry level) I can only suggest that the proof is in the search engines and readers. It is also bad blog etiquette for newbie bloggers to go around touting their blog.
16 Jul 09 - 09:12 gmt

Precisely what I thought, and I also noted he has the sum total of zero comments on his pathetic dog turd of a blog, with a whopping 69 people having viewed his profile. Probably never worked for Goldman either.
16 Jul 09 - 09:41 gmt
MsR said ...
I think the remit of 'day trader' is quite narrow unless you're going to use it to talk about your sex life but confessionals are quite passe now. Anyway the financial blogspace has so many clever people who are also witty. I like Long and Short Capital..they apply financial theories to shorting women etc. V. funny. And there's a guy called Epicurean Dealmaker who uses classics to make his point. Good writer.

And now I am going to hope that Australia can pull something out of the bag for the cricket. Should any of you have any tickets that you simply don't want, I would be delighted to accept them. Is your man Freddy playing?

author of a blog said ...
@MsR I can accept criticism. I only started the blog a little over a week ago, so am learning to modify and improve my writing as the days progress. Though if people did read the blog objectively would have made some good money on shorting CIT Group as tipped last week.
@anon 10.20 I couldn't care less about your opinion, but to set the record straight I was based on the 2nd floor of PBC within US risk arb sales

My cousin runs club nights in Dubai, and while goldenballs was out there with the AC Milan squad he didn't seem to mind having hookers all over him. The club hired burly bouncers and anyone caught taking pictures of Mr squeaky clean beckham was beaten. Club was chi @ the lodge for those interested.
