GOOOOOOOOOOO CHEETAHS!!!!!!!
Hello Pietman,
Can you see the NZ program Reunion? That is a great program time well spend. Watching Boots & All is a waste of time. I have not watched them for a long time , i see it is up right now , will watch first before saying to much.
Helloooooooooooo
Go Cheetahs!! Gooi mielies!! For all those that have been blaming Verster for the Cheetahs performance…. Now you can stand up and be counted!! Hope you will be around to blame the next dude, and the next!!
As for me, I don’t move in the inner circle of the Cheetahs, and all I can say is thank you to Harold Verster for the contribution he made, and for his time dedicated.. it is often a thankless jobs with “know it allpublic” often critisizing!!
For some it is a realease of frustration, and some have the genuine well being of the Cheetahs at heart… others are just perennial “complainer” and negatorius’
Go Toyota Cheetahs!! Man I like that sound!!
Ok, at last, battling to log in here.
No bru, I don’t get to see that NZ program unfortunately.
Now, back to the match. Cheetahs one of my favourite teams and I would really like to see them rise again.
Having been brought up in the N-Cape most of my childhood years, my memories are mostly SWA, Griquas and OFS representing our platteland powerhouse of rugby; players like Mannetjies travelling 10,000 km a month from Victoria West to Kimberley to attend practises, some okes from Grootfontein to Windhoek three times a week, all for the love of the game.
OFS rugby union operates on a very restrictive budget, and I think they have done well regardless, and when I look at those spectators at De Beers and Free State Stadium (Vodacom these days?) I still see the passionate support like in the days of old.
Long may platteland rugby survive, with Cheetahs leading the way……
@ grootblousmile:
More, los asb my password net so bru, daai een wat met ‘oud’ begin, ek het gevra vir nuwe een paar minute terug, maar ek het skielik kon inlog.@ Cheetah4eva:
Wa kom jy daaraan dat ek nie Cheetahs en Naka nie?…..:-( Het jy my antwoord op jou ‘aantyging’ sowat n week gelede gesien? Moontlik het jy my verwar met n ander outjie hier…
@ Pietman:
…..”nie Cheetahs en Naka like nie”…bedoel ek.
Good Morning Gentlemen. (And “yes I use the term loosely”.
First day in the office all week! “All work and no play (or is it pay?) make Jack a dull boy.”
Hope the Cheetahs can do something today but I can’t see it happening.
@ Scrumdown:
Howzit, jy nog daar in SD?
6@ Pietman:
Hello broer, ek los hom so vir jou.
Ek ry net gou, wil gou my kruppel assistent in sy rolstoel gaan optel…. die man het baaaaie werk hier terwyl ek rugby kyk… hehehe
Hoert julle rugby-hiere, wa’s julle dat ek so alleen moet gesels, ek het net Vrydae kans vir inloer, en dans hier niemand….
@ Pietman:
Jisja,dankie, praat jy van broer?
Hi Pietman how are things in the Kingdom?
I’m off to CAO tomorrow morning and back to JHB on Sunday morning. Geez I must be mad.
9@ Pietman:
Nee al terug in JHB van Junie laasjaar af.
Hallo Pietman, jy moenie so haastig wees nie OU maat, lyk my soos die jare aanstap raak mens al meer ongeduldig. kyk 4man kan dit ook nie vat as hy hier kom en daar is nie dadelik mense wat hom groet nie.
As die Vrystaat die een kan wen doen hy n guns aan alle ander SA spanne. So go CHETAAAAAAAAAAHS
@ Scrumdown:
Ok thx, two weeks in Riyadh, then flying down to Jeddah for two weeks, lots of travelling between the two projects I am working on, but things going well my man.
I went to CAO in October last, hot as hell, but managed to get my Karoo lamb home in tact. Jhb to CAO, long one that, you going K’ley-VWest-Loxton or Hopetown-Vosburg-Pampoenpoort (shorter)?
Two of SA’s top referees, Mark Lawrence and Marius Jonker may well be overlooked for this year’s Rugby World Cup in New Zealand.
As mens so na die lys van refs kyk wat blykbaar aangekondig gaan word wonder ek of ons al met almal al n scrap gehad het.
Hier is hy
Wayne Barnes and Dave Pearson (England), Romain Poite (France), Nigel Owens (Wales), Alain Rolland and George Clancy (Ireland), Steve Walsh (Australia), Bryce Lawrence (New Zealand) and Craig Joubert and Jonathan Kaplan (both SA) are believed to be on the list, with Jerome Garces (France), Chris Pollock and Vinny Munro (New Zealand), Simon McDowell (Ireland), Stuart Terheege (England), Tim Hayes (Wales) and Carlo Damasco (Italy) set to be touch judges.
@ superBul:
Is waar, ek moet bietjie spoed breek, al te gewoond op twee plekke gelyk te probeer wees…;-(
Ja, hoop Cheetahs kan die doen en ons verras, hoe laat begin die game, ek sien weer nokkol hieriekant vandag?
@ Pietman:
begin oor 20 minute
17@ Pietman:
Padwerke ‘n probleem orals.
Sal of KBY, V’ Wes, of miskien Bloem om en dan oorskiet van die N1 af V’ Wes toe.
As ek vroeg genoeg ry sal ek miskien betyds wees om die Haaie – Leeus wedstryd in Blikkies Bar te kyk.
Vrou sal seker so kwaai soos ‘n slang wees, maar “tough shit”.
Ek moet ook 3 Karroo skape terug bring saam met die familie. Hulle was almal by KKNK in Oudtshoorn. Seker lekker moeg maar vrou sal haar kant moet bring met die kar bestuur.
17@ Pietman:
Watter werk doen jy daar in die woestyn?
Arme Wilhelm Steenkamp met die eNGELS, HY KOM BLYKBAAR VAN cALVINIA AF. pRAAT HULLE eNGELS DAAR?
Os praat baie makliker daai taal.
Hierdie jaar is dit die mode onder refs om Coenie te straf, het julle gesien wie die meeste strafskoppe afgestaan het sover in S15.
23@ superBul:
In Carnarvon is die enigste Engels sprekende persoon wat ek onmoet het die einnaar van die hotel, en dalk die belangrikste persoon op die dorp!
Ons het ‘n “tender” ingesit vir die opgradeering van die Slagpale op Calvinia, maar dit lyk vir my hulle het nie geld nie. What else is new?
1. Coenrad Oosthuizen (Cheetahs) 18
2. Greg Somerville (Rebels) 11
3. Ben Daley (Reds) 10
4. Beast Mtawarira (Sharks) 9
4. Ben Alexander (Brumbies) 9
4. Deon Stegmann (Bulls) 9
@ superBul:
Thx, gee updates asb.@ Scrumdown:
As die teerpaaie so kuk is as wat ek hoor’ dan kan jy Vosburg oorry, lekker grondpad, en gou, veral as jy n bakkie het.
CAO Karooskaap kan jy nie wen nie, die beste ter wereld, flippin al amper R80 n kilo, ek het darem nog gekry vir R45….moenie afvalle vergeet!
CAO is vereer in die dorp Carnarvon Skotland, het jy geweet? Groot foto van Jan ‘Voetbol’ vd Westhuizen daar in die pub, hy hou die SA rekord vir die meeste punte in SA eerste liga wedstryd’ 85 altesame. Die ou doen tans lewenslank vir daai Worcesterbom destyds, jou vrou behoort die storie te onthou. Ek dink Vlokkie Cilliers was CAO se enigste Springbok, Jan kon ook gewees het…
@ Scrumdown:
Astoria Hotel behoort aan Vlok Nel, jy praat seker van Basil Panos by die Carnarvon, beide hotelle weerskante van NG Kerk…. 😉
@ superBul:
Ja, Steenkamp is van Calvinia, WP Nel ook (Loeriesfontein), Kobus ‘Tweeman’ Visagie….en n paar ander sterkes ook vandaar.
