    The Israel Folau saga

    Did Izzy use the word "gay" in his latest sermon on the twitter? I am certainly not defending him, but we have moved a helluva long way forward as a nation over the last few years. Marriage equality surely means a lot. I can remember the days of poofter-bashing. Bashing to death in some...

    Ooh that hurts, Dave. Hugh's little sister? Biased towards the Mighty Woods?

    The Israel Folau saga

    Absolutely spot on, Liquorbox. There are a lot of people with hidden agendas having a field day with this. Oops.

    The Israel Folau saga

    The irony is that a belief in the archaic concept of "hell" is a precondition to being hurt by what he tweeted. If a person does not believe in "hell", why feel threatened by what is essentially a fictional punishment?

    The Israel Folau saga

    If Izzy has a go at litigation it will cost money. Maybe a lot of money. It will also be a terrible distraction for the game as a whole.

    Shute Shield 2019

    The Woodies did their best to lose that. What a terrible performance. Well done Marlins, you will kill us at the Village. Our lineout is merde.

    Then again, my guess is that, like me, you are not a lawyer. This is going to be a lawyers' picnic.

    Kellaway? He is a finisher, but not a maker, of tries. We need somebody to make the opportunity, which Kellaway is not all that good at.

    Is he ordained?

    The Israel Folau saga

    You can prove just about anything with a quote from the bible. So what? BTW, in case you have missed it, Jews, and Muslims also subscribe to the bible. Not all of it, but certainly the Old Testament, which is where most of the blood and guts stuff (and all the myths, legends, and poetry) can...

    The Israel Folau saga

    Is it true that Izzy is performing "baptisms" in his own backyard? What next? Domestic circumcisions?

    Rd 9: Rebels v Stormers - Fri 12th @7:45pm

    Coleman was ineffective in the first half. Frankly the whole forward pack seemed to be overshadowed. Have not bothered watching the rest of the game yet. Maybe I will give it a miss.

    Shute Shield 2019

    Hope there is a decent crowd at Chatswood. Love the ground, it is so depressing when it is virtually empty. Oh for the days when visiting teams always chose to run towards the north in the second half, to keep what used to be the crowd stronghold out of the game!

    The Israel Folau saga

    I did not realise that you are a bit of a theologian! I wonder whether he believes the earth is flat, and the sky is actually a dome with holes in it (for the rain), and the sun travels across the dome every day. I had a friend in Tonga (an American missionary) who told me that he believed...

    Western Force v Asia Pacific Dragons - HBF Park - 12 April 2019

    The largest rugby fanbase in the world, eh? Mmmm.

    Big game tomorrow. The Woodies hosting the Marlins.

    The Israel Folau saga

    I reckon there is a fair chance that Izzy is a member of what amounts to a sect. If he is, his actions are being controlled to some extent, possibly quite a large extent. The possibility of this sort of sinister influence might explain his erratic behaviour. If he is in a sect, he needs...

    The Israel Folau saga

    The reformation, the counter-reformation, why stop there, there are many examples of violence and bloodshed, all in the name (allegedly) of Jesus, who preached tolerance and love for all.

    The Israel Folau saga

    Like the majority of Australians, my wife and I voted for marriage equality. That should really be the end of the line for bigotry. Izzy is not an ordained person, or a theologian. The only people who should be offended by what he says are members of his own little sect. And they won't be...

    The Israel Folau saga

    Sponsors should, and no doubt will, make a considered judgement based on their own best interests. Izzy is our only superstar. Without him the "product" that is being sponsored will underperform. What he is doing is distasteful, but not illegal. (BTW, what the "Crusaders" were doing...
