Penalty Cheetahs, Landers not rolling away. Right out in front, and 4 minutes to go
3 points, we will take it, and hope we have time to get back for a try
Take the points and take your time doing so Cheets.
Lyk my iemand het hier gelees, daar is tog wildsplase beskikbaar vir refs in die Vrystaat. 😉
FFSSSSSS!!!
Missed from right in front!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wat n klein bliksem!!!!
I can’t farking believe my eyes! Ebersohn playing himself right back into the Vodacom Cup team!
And Ebersohn fluffs it from right in front. What a wasted effort for the forwards. And now the Landers get a kickable penalty
This could be it for the Cheetahs
FARK
ek weet nie wat om te se nie….so terleurgesteld….flok jou Ebie
my O(&*%&%$*^$ ji”””” fok!!!
Sorry for the Cheetah supporters, feel for you guys. Damn your team should have won this one for sure.
Ebersohn will be camping outside Bloem on his own tonight. Wow, that was a hopeless second half by the Cheetahs. The run-ons, bar Johnson were hopeless tonight
How the Cheetahs lost this one is beyond me!!!!
To late she cried! ! Don’t know who I should farking punch? Jonker for being so fucking inept, or Sias for being the worst fucking place kicker in SA?
Afternoon Boys…
I have no idea who I put to win this game….
Are you enjoying your days sport?
Perhaps not…..!!
@ bluepete:Ebersohn a tad too cocky?
Kan dit nie glo nie, reg voor die pale ?
Ebersohn het lelik gefouteer daar, maar die Cheetahs as ‘n span het die wedstryd weggegooi in die laaste 20 minute.
Ai, ons kan nie so aanhou punte gee vir oorsese spanne nie.
Ai jai jai jai! Let me go mope somewhere else! Just lost my sense of humour, and my sense of present tense! Ek is nou sommer Befok!
@ Blue Bird:We were at half time, we were positively chipper. Now I can hear the pin drop in Bloem, and at C4E’s house!!!!
@ Cheetah4eva:Have a double, mate, you need it. How the Cheetahs lost that one is incomprehensible
198@ Blue Bird:
Hello BB,
How you doing?
Cheetahs should have won this one. Feel for their supporters.
I am still in shock! And to further annoy me, I have to still listen to that pompous doos Skinstadt! Cnut!
Cheetahs let this one slip from under them. This was their game for the taking.
Credit to the Highlanders for staying in the match! Even though Plonker Jonker made it so easy for them! What a inept unprofessional, miserable, totkop!
Cheetahs threw away a 21 point lead. Not Sias’s fault, it was a team effort to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory
207 @ Puma,
Agreed, don’t know how the Cheetahs went from sublime to terrible, in a matter of minutes. At least we have taken Haskell out of the equation for You Puma.
