    Think about it… those journo’s who are so arrogant actually have no reason to be arrogant, they work for a boss, gets a salary each month… regte joppie soekers…

    You and I work for ourselves, we’re our own bosses… we do the rugby thing for extra fun… and out of pure passion for the game.

    There is no comparison, really!

    50@ bdb:
    Yip you just beat me to it bdb was going to say Dunlop missing and also captain Jono Ross but I think UCT must surely also be missing some players who would have played Vodacom Cup for WP this weekend?

    From Keo

    It is alleged that Tuks and Shimlaswere fielding players who were not registered as varsity students, while falling short of the required 16 student players, and have been accused of breaking the Varsity Cup rules by fielding ineligible players.

    Eye Witness News reported on Monday that the two teams may be cheating according to a source which claimed auditing firm Deloitte backed the findings. Tuks have already qualified for the semi-finals of the Varsity Cup and were second on the log going into the final round of league matches, while Shimas were fifth and had no chance of reaching the play-offs.

    EWN said that NMMU were also under suspicion but have been cleared of any wrongdoing. A further three teams are under suspicion in the Varsity Shield.

    According to EWN, a memorandum from Varsity Cup CEO Duitser Bosman was circulated to all 13-member varsities to inform them of the investigation. Bosman said he could not comment on the matter as yet.

    No reference to you or anybody Bully…

    The fact is, these journalists have no reason to be arrogant twits.

    To add insult to injury, Tank Lanning was snubbed by SuperSport to do the half time interview, after being asked to do so by Ikeys, now he’s upset too…..Oh to be a journo!!!

  • 71

    Tuks free kick…. mark by UCT

  • 72

    Lohan Jacobs cops a yellow… eish

  • 73

    59@ grootblousmile:Yup, seen him, knows his rugby inside out, but made a bit of a fool of himself on Friday night, I think

  • 74

    Skrummie van Tuks het die ou met sy arms weggestamp, nie met die skouers nie. Pro-WP gee hom ‘n geelkaart.

  • 75

    Howzit Bullscot, hows the weather up there?

    Tuks relieving penalty, UCT going off their feet

    69@ grootblousmile:
    Yeah I know man, certainly share your sentiments about some journalists, laziness is one of the traits I feel comes to mind for many of them they have their mind made up about what story they want to write and don’t bother getting all the facts and in some cases can’t even get facts (things that have actually happened) correct and some are such simpletons to them things are either black or white they don’t seem to understand the concept of grey areas. I’m sure you are aware of all the investigations going on here with some news organizations a lot of what they are alledged to have done and some have already paid big compensation to their victims is horrible HUGE invasions of privacy. But am balanced and must also add I have a lot of time for good investigative journalists who sometimes have to put themselves at big risk to expose bad things in society. One guy I really enjoyed was Charl Pauws son Jaques thought he did great stuff, is he still around the media scene?

    77 @ Bullscot:
    Don’t know him, only really mix with the Sports Journo’s and often with the Music / Gossip Journo’s at music functions.

    Although Handbriekie works for the papers, she is at Advertisement side… and there is a huge battle between them and the Journo’s, one group thinking they are better than the other.

    …. all I know is that the Advertisement side is what generates most of the paper’s income…. without Ads, the paper would stop in weeks!

    Howzit JFK we have had some reaaly nice weather for most of the last week, lots of sunshine and quite mild for the time of year, a couple of overnight frosts over the weekend, today is cloudier though

    Hoe moet ‘n mens skoonmaak by ‘n losskrum as jy die anders ouens nie kan omstamp nie. Net ‘n kwessie van tyd voordat ek soos Scrumdown gaan begin surf in plaas van rugby kyk. 😉

  • 82

  • 87

    66: klink asof daardie aanklagtes dalk waar kan wees, g’n wonder dat die Tukkies skielik soveel spelers onttrek het nie. Sal jammer wees as dit waar is, maar as dit is sal hul maar die gevolge moet dra.

  • 88

    78@ grootblousmile:kept pushing home the same question/stamement (couldn’t tell the difference) even after it was answered.

    Following on from Bullscots journo observation, I was amazed to see one journo arrive with his story already written, he just changed a few points throughou the game, and posted as the final whistle blew – hows that for journalism!!!!
