Forsyth-Barr Kicking Woes

First topic message reminder :

It can't be coincidental that virtually all usually reliable kickers can't perform at the FB stadium in Dunedin.

The ball does not seem to travel true from the impact, and it seems obvious there is some kind of swirling air current created by the Stadium.

Is this a deliberate design feature to force the game to be about scoring tries I wonder? is it just coincidence that NZ chose this evening to have such an "undisciplined" performance and concede so many "kickable" penalties?

.fair enough but from where i stand you owe the man an apology.

Dear LostinWales,

I am very sorry if I offended you. Perhaps I was over the top in my rebuttal of your valid and interesting contribution. I apologise entirely and really did not mean to cause you any offense. If you feel you have been bullied out of conversation then I am retrite and remoreseful.

Please come back and share some more of your valid views on fluid dynamics and ball trajectories in the FB stadium.

Regards,

Anotherworldofpain.

Thanks GTS! Sometimes I need to be reminded when I'm being a plank. My nature culture is much more direct and aggressive and people don't get offended very easily so sometimes I overshoot the mark.

oh you kiwis!!!

Nice apology AWOP but I'd say you were both right and were just approaching from different angles and disciplines. Just my opinion.

Glad to see you offering the blackberry branch at GITS request.

I also hope that albatross finds one of the gaps in the corners and can reunite with the flock on the peninsula.

That was my feeling LB. But an apology doesn't cost anything right?

AWOP, you certainly have learn't how to play the game.

That's right. Apologies are free.

You want a milkshake with that popcorn LB?

Have you got one handy?

Did you see the SA bird (Rox) who joined our cricket pool?

No, it there a picture of her? Is she hot?

I went to check, why is she not supporting SA?

You should sort her out man.

I bet she's really a man. People pretending to be women on sports forums normally are.

Dear women on sports forums who aren't men pretending to be women,

I am very sorry if I offended you. Perhaps I was over the top in my claim that women in sports forums are normally men pretending to be women. I apologise entirely and really did not mean to cause you any offense. If you feel you have been bullied out of conversation then I am retrite and remoreseful.

Please come back and share some more of your valid views about sports without fear of being accused of being a man pretending to be a woman.

Anotherworldofpain.

You are losing the plot AWOP, and it makes your apology to lostinwales seem insincere.

No Biltong, I am equally sorry now.

What else would people pretending to be women on sports forums be? Now i'm confused, is there a third gender that nobody has told me about and if there is where can i get one?

The cyber nerd.

OK, it isn't really a gender as much as a state of mind.

That bit is strange. The Aussie flag - but then she has 2 SA flags on her profile. Maybe she admires us/our country? She definitely has a Safferish name though?

Looks genuine AWOP. Many women love sport. Just ask dreamer.

I'm not convinced. The hint is in the name: dreamer.

You are very hard to convince sometimes.

So, we still don't know which team/province in NZ you follow. Who is your favourite team in the ITM Cup?

Auckland v Taranaki this afternoon. Looking forward to it?

No shield match with some Naki players rested...

easy Akld win I'd say...(not often I get to use those words...)

i think it's terrible they are not letting Barrett play.

I can barely contain myself LB. I find it hard to keep up with the ITM Cup to be honest, the timing doesn't suit me to watch so much. At any rate, I'm more a follower and lover of the game as a spectacle than a devout attendant of this team or that team. I've been partial to the BOP Steamers historically to be honest mostly because I lived in the BOP for a while.

Nice part of the world. Had some friends in Tauranga. I've tipped them (BOP) for the match against HB but both teams are struggling a little at the moment.

I know what you mean about the timing. I've had to cut out a lot of sport watching due to that. It nearly killed me! Lucky I'm divorced but it wasn't so good for my social life staying up until the wee hours in the glow of the big screen.

Well, porn is best avoided LB, it's habit forming.

Sport is my porn AWOP. (and I treat porn like a sport)

Went to 3 games at FB stadium during RWC last year.
Didnt feel too breezy to me!

Or you are one of "them", Gunner!
