    Sorry Oompie Puma.

    Had to sort out Fern’s childish rants…. and it was simply better addressing it in Afrikaans, so that the international audience did not have to struggle through that tripe!

    More English will follow

    The Google Translator is easy peasy… the Plugin just consumes quite a bit of Server resources… and for now that is an issue, till we go over to a Dedicated Server at the Web Hosts.

    Well I see a dispute going on in a language I hardly understand so not fair on me or the kiwi bloogers here or the many looking in as visitors.

    Whatever Fern said it is normally winding some up no more than that and should not be taken serious. This should not be a nanny state like Oz… Hehehe we should have at least let the guys have a sense of humour and plenty banter. Sure don’t accept one attacking the other personally. Anyhow have not a clue what it is all about as could not understand and I usually ignore the fights as that is not why I blog.

    GBS, onthou ook weer ‘show all’ button.

    11:38 @ Ben:
    Ja, the “Show All Button” in the “Pager” will have to receive attention too!

  • 68

    11:45 @ grootblousmile:

    Okay I got that sorted out pronto. English has to be the main language spoken here with us being a international site now… Happy-Grin Listen Fern normally just winds okes up nothing in it mostly. I enjoy him here other wise it looks like a police state if we have tooooooooooo much discipline. Need to allow the wind ups and banter… :mrgreen:

    I picked the Reds by 5 on SuperBru.

    The Force have certainly improved for 2014.

    @BenIs die Matfield besluit nie net n voorbeeld van als wat verkeerd is in ons rugby nie, nie net die Bulls nie?Hulle besluit al weke vooruit wie wanneer en waar gaan speel en hoe lank X of Y op die veld gaan wees ens.Dis alles goed en wel om n speler te wil bestuur, maar as die ou beter as verwagting speel, dan verander mens mos die bleddie planne.Ek kan nie onthou dat ek Flip se naam vandag gehoor het nie, Vic was baie gemis, hy moet kaptein wees en moet elke wedstryd speel

    Nortie it is a double edged sword though. You use this example as a problem with SA rugby, yet while the Crusaders are getting their arses handed to them left right and center, Carter is on a six month holiday.

    @ nortierd:
    Presies!

    Ongeag hoe baie die spelers sΓͺ dit gaan oor die game self, dit is nie meer waar nie. Dit gaan nou net oor geld, geld, geld.

    Ek gun die ouens hul ponde, maar met so baie games is dit nie meer die span eerste nie.

    Vic se situasie is ‘n goeie voorbeeld. Gaan HM hom ook laat rus as ons belangrike bok oorwinning oorsee soek, en indien nie, hoekom moet Bulle se soeke na nog ‘n titel opgeoffer word ?

    In 2011 was dit dieselfde saak, bok bulle het hul gespaar vir WB en toe verloor ona beide super 14 en WB titels.

    @ grootblousmile:
    I have Reds as well not sure by how much. But hell the Force are a much improved side this year. Ebersohn too playing the best rugby he has ever played. Was a very good move for him going to the Force as he is getting plenty game time and with that gets better each week.

    Sorry Folks, the Web Hosts have just FLAGGED us for too high CPU usage, and load speeds will be slightly affected because of the flagging, till use is back to acceptable levels.

    As a result I have had to de-activate a few of the Plugin’s like the big smilies and showing the recent comments… till the graph drops enough for the flagging to go away.

    Knocks the up right.

  • 75

    Sias Ebersohn penalty bounces off the lefthand upright… missed.

    @ grootblousmile

    No problems.
