Just For Larfs - Puppet talks about Life, The Universe, and being the Boss.

[Blue]

Paarl here is the point.

If this was Heyneke Meyer he would have been fired a long time ago.

You can NOT argue against that surely?

Nobody denies the results.

I find it embarassing. I am proud of the Boks, I cannot feel proud about the coach. He does not set an example I would suggest any kid ever follow.

Can you tell your kid "Come sit here son and watch this man. This is how I would like you to behave if you're ever succesful in sport, life or business." I don't think so.

 

[PaarlBok]

Oh well then we just have to agree to disagree. I have no nightmares about his way of coaching with the current Bok setup and results.

He have a very good work ethic, will travel to Steinkopf to find new talent, not worried to try new players , being able to change his gameplan and most important not afraid to dish back at the politicians or give it to the media but show a willingness to do whatever needs to be done to achieve success . He have his way to empower his co cioaches and Bok players. He have dropped a few players during his time and never read one bad word from them like we had with White and Mallet.

I'd never would have thought this would happen when he first was appointed, never and I'll give him credit for being a good coach for our team.

2010 will be a big year for us. We start our 3 Nations in NZ & Aus. A hard ask but one I look forward to.

I reckon it's a master-stroke by the SARFU to pick a black man as head coach. It allows them to pick a side based on merit and not be accused of racism. Whether he's just a figurehead or not it doesn't matter, as long his underlings can do the job.

Aha you have nail it.

When he was appointed they had a special reception in Paarl Town Hall to congrats him on his appointment. The citizens of Paarl (myself included) paid for this via the Municipality and just about every single ANC high brass were on this one including Mr Watson snr. I knew that Luke visit many a time here and even did some motivatinal speeches at Paarl Girls High. Snors two girls are Girls Highers. Anyway Watrson Snr then told the press or some radio station he think Snor is a baboon as a coach and this was it for Lukas Watsonia. Anyway Saru was highly upset about the Paarl thing because no Hoskin or any brass from Saru was invited. Look where the ball have moved since then.

As long as the Bokke win, Snor will show the politicians a middle finger, he'd wont be a poltician puppet like Jake White who suffered because of no backing from Hoskins or Saru. He'll fight them all the way.

For sake of getting through I am going bilingual.

Paarl, my punt he hoegenaamd niks te doen met sy afrigitng nie. Ek praat oor hoe hy optree in the publiek. Dit stel nie 'n goeie voorbeeld nie. Dit maak 'n joke van Suid Afrikaners oorsee. Jy voel die aanmekaar nodig om hom the verdedig maar jy adresseer nooit die werklikheid nie.

Paarl, my point has nothing to do with his coaching. I am talking about his public bahavior. It creates a terrible image and makes a joke of south Africa in the eyes of the rugby world. You feel the need to defend him, but you never address the real issue.

Again. I never said anything about his coaching. His job is coaching and being an ambassador. I don't think he has any idea wht that means. A party in Paarl town hall doesn't smooth this over. Nobody outside Paarl cares.

 

[Scotty]

Blue, good luck with that.


I don't think Paarl gives a flying fuck about what Snor says, as long as he is winning. He doesn't see the other side of the coin (as I mentioned the damage he does with his comments to SA rugby and SA in general), and would prefer to get defensive anytime someone says anything about Snor.

Paarl - none of us would have a go at Smit, despite being just as much a part of the winning formula that Snor is - why do you think that is? Because Smit is an ambassador for the game and for his country, and has the respect of most if not all of rugby followers. Surely you wish that Snor was more like that?

 

[Spook]

I find it absolutely astounding that SA rugby could have such a person in charge of their national team. He is Eddie Jones times by 100 when it comes to stupid comments and distrust of the media.

Fucking hell he even wants the media to do his job for him and stop the international media from asking him hard questions. Give me a break princess.

Dont help much you have Deans and the results aint even comparable.

Deans Vs PdV - won 3 lost 3.

Right now give us the average scores between the two teams and there are 3 teams playing the TriNations, please give me the score of the two coaches record against the nr1 ranked team coached by Henry?

Then look at the silverware in the two coaches cupboards as it is today.

OK so why do you worried a fuck about the image in the eyes of the overseas public?

90% of that public will be the first to bite your arse if the Bokke are losing. The same lot that will tell you to be a gracious winner when they losing will tell you , you are a sour loser when they are winning. They will also be the ones that will tell you before the test they'r going to beat you up and will disappear when they are on the losing side or will tell you they were losing because either their own team rather lost it iso giving credit to the winning team OR its usually the ref.

You dont find many that know anything about the thing we calls good sportmanship, that dont excist anymore.

Snor is part of the Cape coloureds , they have their own way of doing it and will call it as they see it. If you think they or he will change to fit the Aus public and media , forget it.

 

[Scotty]

I told you, he is a hopeless case and will not change his mind anymore than PDV will.

Paarl - have you ever lived outside of South Africa? or even you own province in South Africa? You really do take the cake as the most stubborn poster on this board.

 

[Godfrey]

I kind of liked the interview. Just made him sound like a misunderstood high-achiever with a chip on his shoulder. Maybe its just that honesty in a media interview these days is a bit shocking because of how rare it is that he comes off as worse than he is. Probably doesn't reflect well on me, but I didn't really detect lunacy. I'm sure if he and the world got drunk together they would end up being best friends and realise it was all a big misunderstanding.

Boet I saw you calling me a Rooinek and Doc removed it, well Doc he need a yellow for that one alone and at least a month. Calling a Boer a Rooinek is even worst then calling a Gay Robert Mugabe if you want a comparison.

Here are a lot of posters posting yhere that know me from a long time , stubborn Boer , yes maybe, Paarl biased , true but I think I'll leave the province and SA one to them.

To answer your question regarding if I ever lived outside Paarl I will give you my honest answer.

Was a internal auditor for one of SA's biggest food companies for more then ten years. Was the days before we had SAP and I travelled all over the country doing that big Bible accounting when we know that ever debit had a credit. Ask Blue or Gags I describe as Bakkies All Days (who are located at the northen tip of SA) so well even Blue started a thread asking questions about All Dya sand the real Bakkies. In SA the biggest rugby rivals are north vs south or WP vs NTvl or as they are called in S14 rugby Stormers vs Bulls, think my Brute broer Blue will be the first one to tell you Oom Paarl write a lot of good things about his team or if you want to really audit my postings, you'll see that yourself.

Outside SA, well ja I witness live the last time your Wallabies won the WC in 1999 at the Millenium. Think I have already post something about that here somewhere but one of my biggest experienses I ever witness and one no one will find enough money to buy.

I plan to go to the next WC in NZ and maybe visit Aus on my way and sure will love to meet Skotman and surely Oom Lee and Biffo.

So Skotman I am not going to retaliate and get personal after you make you viewpoints about a topic, I spend my time in prison now a few times and only Madiba Magic got me outtathere. Hope tthe wise men have guts and wish you well in jail.

 

[Scarfman]

Paarl - yes I did delete redneck. It's an insult, but here it's not a very bad one. It basically means that you have conservative views. There's no ethnic slur involved.

So, no ban for Scotty, but I need to give a clear warning to everyone that personal insults are not on.

Well I was sitting in my suana when I heard him calling me a Rooinek, placing the beer down softly, reloading the mauser and aim right there where the nose starts, between the eye.

Rooinek in my language mean those bastards raping and killing our women and kids, burning our farms down, hell we fight two wars against them to be called a Republic.

Again a sign a boer like myself mustnt post on foreign forums, just go the facebook root and post from the heart.

Call it the language barrier but just as I got booted because of the untouchable one or maybe Skotman is one of those?

 

[Scotty]

Sorry Paarl, I didn't know that was so offensive in your language. Although I must say, I didn't say it in your language.

As an example of how I and other Australians use it, I was talking to one of our contract staff who was taking her family for a holiday at their cousins place about 3 hours west of brisbane. There cousins live on a farm, and go shooting and can drive by the time they are about 12, and do many other things that 'city folk' would struggle with. Anyway, anytime we talked about where she was going we referred to them as the redneck cousins! There was no insult.

I have also called another work mate who lives in an area north of brisbane a 'redneck' with no insult taken.

 

[Scotty]

That is unlikely, since I have not even met one person on this forum.

 

[PaarlBok]

Boet I called the Jews Akkers the other day and got booted. In SA I call the Jews Akker Piele (Aok Dicks) and the english SoutPiele (Salt dicks) and they'll take it with a smile.

That just illustrate my point that I call someone a name meaning the totally opposite they read init.

I also have a lot of symphaty with Doc , trying to keep this place clean and not a second PR or Keo and will rather go to keep it this way.

 

[Scarfman]

Right, I've had enough Paarl. You are banned from the forum. It has become too much trouble. Why you can't just stick to rugby I have no idea. You create problems when there are none.

It's been fantastic having you here but you have lost your sense of humour and fairplay. You are just too combative and you are making too much work for me.

You have my email address, so you may write to me and I will post it here as your right of reply. If you have recently donated to the G&GR I will refund it.

The ban is permanent, but partial. You can still read the forum, just not post in it.

I'm sorry that it has come to this, and I wish you and all your teams well.

Boet you may delete my account at G&G, me and Moses was in the process to get the deal done, so no refunding needed anyway.

Sorry for all the hassles I cause you lot. I have try to explain on the thread the way we get lost on the language barrier, the same thing happen on TSF.

I'm sorry it has to be this way.

 

[Aussie D]

Will be sorry to see PB go, will miss his insights into SA rugby. Good luck boet.
