There wasn’t really much point in playing this match really, they should have just given them the point 2 weeks ago, and been done with it. What a waste of energy, and injuries to boot!

vir die wat dit wil lees,ek gaan n ruk glad nie hier post nie,die rede is dat ek my self nog altyd as n redelike nice ou beskou het,maar die laaste ruk het ek in n regte d@@s ontaard.ek voel ek moet net bietjie weg bly en net weer my self word.jy weet dat daar fout is as mense wat jy as vriende beskou vir jou begin se jy is fuctup,so tyd vir my om so n bietjie perspektief te gaan kry en so n bietjie aan my persoonlike isues te werk.ek weet ek is one eyed en baie passievol oor my span maar dit is nie n rede om my te gedra soos n vark nie,so tot die bokke op die veld draf en ons vereenig in een span se ek eers cheers en sorry….bye for now….

@ smallies72:
I formally apologizes to you , ek vra om verskonning , ek verdien die kaart.
Jammer dit was ongevraagd en tipies Voldy styl.
Ek hoop ons kan vriende bly.
( mag e ter versagting my tekort aan skoon drink en badwater aanbied?)
Moenie wegbly nie my vriend, ja ek beskou jou nog as n vriend, ek sal graag alles wil ongedaan maak , maar soos Langenhoven se,”Moenie jou vriend vergeet nie; dit sal hom seermaak. Maak jou vyand daarmee seer”

Anyhooooooooo, it takes a strong person to say sorry and mean it.
I am sure that Smallies will be back to fight the good fight.
