Which international team do you dislike the most?

by Steffan Fri 22 Nov 2013, 6:53 pm

First topic message reminder :

With me it always used to be the English. The fans are ok but the players and media associated were so arrogant and smug

Recently though it has to be the Irish what with the whining bitterness that we had this year with O' Driscoll not being good enough to make the starting 15 for the final test

I enjoy watching both teams lose to be honest but when they play each other next il probably cheer on England

What about you lot then folks...whos your most disliked international team?

The Brazillian Women's Beach Volleyball Team..............

now there is cheating team that should always be more carefully examined by slow-motion TMOs.
I think a lot of dark arts are going on with their fingers behind their........... and anyway, more TMO decisions please!

Currently I dislike the French international team the most. They are living off a tradition of skill, free flowing rugby and gallic flair which they are no longer entitled to. They have reverted to a purely attritional outfit. Whenever I'm watching them play, I do find myself cheering on the other team.

Which international 606v2 countries do I dislike? Too many to list out. There are far too many chips on too many shoulders now where you can see if a certain combination of posters comment on a thread it will decend into bickering within a 2 pages.

Having said that, in the real world I've never met a group of international fans that I've disliked. Every group have their couple of idiots but the vast vast majority are good company. Though I haven't met any 606v2 people in person so maybe that will change my view of international fans in the future.

You should suggest they have on field umpires, then you can volunteer for the job. laughing

guys, what beach volleyball needs is line umpires mo1

by SecretFly Tue 26 Nov 2013, 12:35 pm

Umpire spankers for naugthy players! Or is that much too sexist????

Okay...spankers for naughty players that don't have to necessarily be umpires? How's that for equality rights and non-boorishness?

by **Pal Joey** Tue 26 Nov 2013, 12:40 pm

The Madrid team on Rollerball. I really disliked their violent tactics against Houston!

The South Sea Islanders - might seem a bit controversial but watching these guys intentionally go out to cause serious harm to others and then going on their knees to pray to some god at the end just doesn't work for me. It's violence. thumbsup

Try watching any of the Welsh teams in the 70's in terms of intentionally harming others they were renowned for it.

Exactly, what a transformation these days. At least those thugs from the 70's didn't go on their knees to pray to some god afterwards. They were nasty dirty bar stewards all the same thumbsup

They went to Chapel instead didn't they? Wink

Just to be clear on this, gods aren't always gods of peace.

No sir, Thor wasn't adverse to raping and pillaging for war's sake. Our own Dagda liked to boast that he could kill nine warriors with one blow of his club... and the old testament god, now there is a god who knows how to dish out blood and vengence when mad.

Let's not feel there is too much hypocrisy in wanting to beat the bejasus out of a man one minute and then getting down on your knees to thank your god for giving you the strength to do so Wink

Besides, most armies still have chaplains, don't they? "Now let's say a prayer before yis go off and kill the enemy"

Frans Steyn is inuured, he had corrective surgery early in November.

But he is very much still part of Meyer's plans, he was one of only 10 boks that gor a national contract until RWC 2015

What do you mean? Did you not see those seasons when all Welsh/Irish rabo games were refereed by Scots or Italians? It went so well the current system of welsh ref coming over to Ireland with the region and an Irish ref going over to Wales with the province.

In rugby -

The Springboks. We (England) traditionally play a similar brand of rugby, but the Boks have almost always just done it better...

Other sports
The England football team. unch of over-hyped useless muppets more interested in their next tattoo or Ferrari than in improving their poor technique.

It is awful what has happened to French rugby over the last decade. I am inclined to agree with you on that basis alone.

Really Mae is that all you've got? Very Happy

In all seriousness though (not just knocking Wales) but why do sports teams play in Grey, it is the most uninspiring colour anyone could have.

by boomeranga Thu 28 Nov 2013, 2:02 pm

We have an afl team called Hawthorn that wear a brown uniform. They've won 11 flags in 50 odd years as well which makes them the most successful club in oz over that time period, but it doesnt matter, because they are still wearing fk'n brown!

by OzT Thu 28 Nov 2013, 2:49 pm

... and gold.. Smile

by Scrumpy Thu 28 Nov 2013, 3:11 pm

Brown and gold is better than Grey!

I thought it was proven that whilst wearing Grey players have trouble seeing each other when on the field of play as they blend into the crowd.

by Luckless Pedestrian Thu 28 Nov 2013, 3:45 pm

That was the excuse they gave when Man United got thumped away to Southampton, wasn't it?

Being called 'dumb' and 'stupid'. Wow I just love getting insulted because I made a typing error

Considering I am studying at a Russell Group university and have had work published I cant be that 'dumb' or 'stupid'. That along with my invatations to attend display workshops for the National Museum. Its nice to have Cambridge University on my CV as well Smile

But then again an education is something you pair wouldnt know much about...

I actually never went to school hence my spelling and grammar are disgraceful. Got back into education late after being made redundant from an office job as its hard work trying to get a decent job without a degree nowadays. Thankfully I seem to be doing ok for someone with no formal education

And its well known that once every 10 years someone from Ponty graduates in University...im that person Very Happy

Met a few who are a good laugh though especially the guy who always gave me some of his spliff while we were drinking JD 2am in the morning on my last excavation. Ah my parents would have been so proud...

Dont really get many hot women in archaeology though most of them look like they could do with a good bath to be honest and fell from the ugly branch
