2013 LIONS - The Negative Topic ( WARNING not for the faint hearted )

First topic message reminder :

With all the other Lions topics resulting in 'my Lions are better than your Lions' arguments and the usual Wales vs. Eng dross, this topic is geared so that grumpy Lions fans can let off some steam without derailing the serious Topics for the serious 606ers or being accused of being biased and anti this and auntie that!
 
Enjoy.
 
 
I'll start - for me Gatland got it wrong from day one, his attitude and comments towards some players before he even drafted a squad was wrong and not based on rugby.  

This tour has a sense of deja vu about it, but I can't wait for the DVD!

I am the very model of a modern Lions supporter
Fuelled on whisky, ale, whiskey, gin and tonic, Brains and porter
I'm devoted to the facts of legendary battles historical
And all the gallant deeds whether real or apocryphal
I'm very well acquainted too with matters selectorial
I understand the choices, both the back row and positional,
About current injuries I'm teeming with a lot o' news---
With many cheerful facts about replacements that they can't refuse.

I'm very good at figuring the differential players so,
I know the precise names of players and how the game should go;
In short, in matters players, game plan and how it should oughta,
I am the very model of a modern Lions supporter

Thank you, Goodnight and may your god go with you.

So, 10 Welsh guys to take their SH winning habit in to the last test. Ben Youngs, Tom Croft and Twiggy should at least be reasonably fresh for the new season from a purely Tigercentric pov.

I'm with Lions legend Keith Wood
