3 big games at the weekend. Will the home crowds respect the opposition kickers?

First topic message reminder :

The Twickenham crowd will respect the Irish as always.
What will the Romans do...............they certainly did nothing for us!!!!!!!!
The Welsh in Cardiff against the French? Well I think we know the answer already (cue loads of Welsh posters trying to defend the booing because they know it`s going to happen), but wouldn`t it be nice to be proved wrong and make me eat my words which I would gladly do if it meant a respectful Cardiff.

That's all well and good, but if Woodstock said it you can guarrantee he meant it in an offensive way.

" I do find england and the english a quaint race, no identity as such but give me hours of fun"

Woodstock, people can see you for what you are. You certainly don`t need other posters to point out your inadequacies, you do that very well on your own. Xenophobic moron!

Not denying taht woodstock can be offensive, even to me as a welshman but I cant see how the use of the word Englishman in a different language can be construed as offensive. The rest of his posts well tahts a different matter

How on earth are they offensive??? They are usually in response to Wummers here who are equally as offensive. Silly posters accusing me of using offensive language in my own 1st language!! How offensive is that?

Quite a sad refelction on some here that they cry off when they are tackled, especially the english who are so paranoind and quite rightly so.

On topic - totally agree with this. I like it too.

Well said Ozzy

Was at the millennium - Didn't notice much booing

Respect all round today, don`t you prefer it when the crowd are respectful?

Well played Wales, you rode your luck , as you have to to win a tourno, but deserved it.

Well played England, fantastic from such a young side - the future looks great. Roll on the next 6N!

The England side are on average older than Wales, so not that young.

I don't care if people boo the kicker, far bigger problems in the real world.

Also lets not forget there is no such thing as luck, you make your chances and you take your chances.

Errrr no they are not!

Go and do your maths then come back and dispute it.
Instead of reeling off one liners from the English media.

No need for red letters Biltong, its just that view obviously has a problem with numbers.

Your team won View, you should be proud.

Loving it, may even have a drink tonight.

What, you haven't had one yet?

Not a big drinker, i tend to think im Superman when i have had a few.

Poor Mrs View going to have to nurse me all day tomorrow.

Yeah, I myself don't really drink, I enjoy the odd whiskey, but that doesn't really happen very often.

Thanks TycroesOsprey, I know what 'sais' means. What I felt was out of order and took objection to was a post which began "Calm down saisman, I imagine you are a young pup (with both testicles deragging on the ground). I have seem more idiotic behaviour by the Hooray Henry's of england than all the other nations put together pal." I'm all up for a bit of banter and teasing on this Board but felt that went a bit further than simply calling one of my countrymen a 'sais'.

Anyway, back on thread topic, I hope I heard right - or rather didn't hear right - while watching in a noisy bar that both sets of fans behaved themselves impeccably at all goal kicks throughout the Sais v Ireland game.

Then attack the patronising attitude or the testicle comment and dont make yourself look silly by accusing sombody who uses their own language of being "racially offensive" and we will get along fine.
