The Official 2013 Wales v England bickering thread.

2013 bickering thread

OK, every year we see threads that actually contain really good rugby discussion derailed by the ongoing Wales vs England bickering and WUMMING! I will name no names. I guess we have all been guilty.

Since most of the general bickering comes from the respective fans of Wales and England ; I thought I would create a thread for it in an effort to keep decent rugby discussion relatively WUM free in other threads.

Let it commence

[mystiroakey]

had a doom bar the other day and it tastes really eggy!

why do ales sometimes taste really eggy!!

[gregortree]

The eggy flavour in ales is most likely caused at the pub, by sulphide chemicals used to clean the pumps & pipes. Especially if low beer turnover is a problem.
Kingsholm Inn pours gallons of Doombar on match day, so always freshly pumped, and always tastes excellent.

Try Dombar in a different pub to see if it tastes any better.

[mystiroakey]

I should have said tasted really eggy!

yeah I have had some nice doom bars in my time..

Ta for the rely..

We get alot of eggy ales in my local pubs- they probally dont sell enough of it!

hydrogen sulfide
n.
A colorless, flammable poisonous gas, H2S, having a characteristic rotten-egg odor and used as an antiseptic, a bleach, and a reagent.

[lostinwales]

So what do you call a multi coloured, flammable poisonous gas that has a characteristic odor?

[gregortree]

petroleum spirit

[Luckless Pedestrian]

It's been very quiet here recently. Is there an Eton Wall Game tournament on or something?

Austin Healey again

The bickering is now taking place on the 6Ns buildup thread. It would appear it's difficult to contain.

[Luckless Pedestrian]

Like the Norovirus.

Just saving our breath to allow maximum laughter duration when Wales get taken to the cleaners on Saturday...

[gregortree]

Keeping it dry until March.

[nobbled]

and that Caerphilly cr@p!
Not a patch on a proper mature Cheddar.

[Luckless Pedestrian]

Well I must say how disappointed I am with the English posters on these boards. Wales lose, England win, and there's been no gloating or crowing whatsoever!

For shame.

[ScarletSpiderman]

Ah that is because we could use the Leicester, London Irish and London Welsh loses in retaliation.

[mystiroakey]

Gotta Say lucky.. When we are that much better- gloating becomes boring..

[Luckless Pedestrian]

That's more like it, Mysti!

[Jimpy]

In the 'Who Cares Cup', you know, the one with no Welsh teams left in it.

Nah, those results were just part of the cunning plan to increase Welsh frustration by allowing them to think they aren't as bad as they thought and then seeing them hammered in their next game.

[Pete C (Kiwireddevil)]

For shame.

It's a new tactic Lucky. They've worked out that expressing sympathy at Wales's plight is even more irritating than gloating

More like lead us into believing that we may have some good young players coming through to try and leave us with some hope.

If only it were true.

[nobbled]

Gloating is all well and good, but the margins at this level are so tight, you'd be setting yourself up for a fall pretty damn quickly.
England-Ireland could well end England's relatively short run of wins. Wales have some real class players and could potentially win every game going forward in the 6 Nations, and England lose them all!
There was very little tubthumping from the Welsh fans prior to this tourny, (indeed they were more pessimistic of Wales chances than many England fans )and equally not a great deal of over-exuberance from the England fans following the England win over NZ.
Of course hostilities can and will recommence prior to the Wales-England game where England will run rampant and score more tries than have ever been scored before

[Luckless Pedestrian]

The Wales - England match won't even be a contest. An away win is guaranteed. England are a shoo-in to win at a ground where they've only won once in ten years.

[Brian Moores Twin]

I thought Wales played very well in the 2nd half, its just a shame for them that they are just to arrogant to realise that they don't have a divine right to win games in Cardiff and that they have to play the full 80mins.

Telfer was right in many ways although he is a half wit, they are lazy, and possibly stupid when you consider the talent they have man for man.

[ScarletSpiderman]

That depends, we seem to be able to up our game against them if it means we can stop them picking up the GS!

[Brian Moores Twin]

Well that’s another issue Scarlet, they are meant to be professionals and should raise their game against all opponents and not just the old enemy.

[nobbled]

If Wales can get the current monkey off their backs - 8 losses - with a heroic victory in Paris - then I can see them finishing very bloody well indeed

[lostinwales]

The Welsh players are the same - the leadership and confidence are gone at the moment. They were more than the sum of the parts now they are less

They are capable of getting back into the game but its going to take a hell of an effort and I dont think its going to be this year or the next

[mystiroakey]

I am backing wales to win in paris..

just have a feeling the win will happen when things have hit rock bottom!

[ScarletSpiderman]

Well that’s another issue Scarlet, they are meant to be professionals and should raise their game against all opponents and not just the old enemy.

To be honest the Welsh seem to have real issues in games unless we are labels the underdogs. I remember Toby Booth saying something along the lines of "It is easy to get yourself motivated to play a big team, it is alot hard to get motivated to play an average side" (right after London Irish lost to the Scarlets), that seems to be the mentallity in Wales. Fortunately France are a big team, so fingers crossed we can raise our game for this weekend, but if we don't then the next big team is England on the closing weekend.

I don't see why it can't happen sooner - it was only 12 months ago they GS winners!
One decent game, the belief comes back (along with some of their injured first choice players) and BOOM!

I'm really crap at this bickering...

Yeah it is starting to feel like the "Wales V England 2013 Love Official Love In Thread"

[mystiroakey]

Why is this thread so rubbish when we are 'allowed' to bicker.

Yet there are two other threads with some pretty decent play school bickering!!

[Pal Joey]

Yeah I know - the titles look similar at first glance don't they?

[Bathman_in_London]

Wales just need a confidence boosting win and they will be away, that backline might not be that subtle, but theres no way it won't score tries. As long as the forwards front up they will be fine.

Now, that was far too nice for this thread, let me see... How about:

Q. Whats the smallest organ in a sheep?
A. A welshman's d1ck.


There we go, back on track.

[Brian Moores Twin]

On current form I don't think a Welshman could catch let alone hold onto a sheep.

and normal service is resumed...

[gregortree]

So something has re-ignited the bickering, although this thread dozed had off for a while.
I expect it to reach an awful crescendo by March.
Good ol' HERSH for starting it, hope he looks in the window once in a while, even if he can't come in.

I've always preferred fisting sheep, but maybe that's just me.

Sadly I avoid that like the plague, bar one or two who were old 606ers the majority seem to be Grade-A+++ tools.

[Pal Joey]

Apparently cabinet makers in Poland have been flat out since Saturday.

Huge orders are coming in from Wales for broken furniture, bar stools, doorway lintels and lazy susans.
