Reply to: England out of the world cup

Quite a few Nepalese too.

The Falklands

The English led and the Welsh and Scots were just cannon fodder so they don't count

OK, so if you consider the death of soldiers something that doesn't matter, then I hope that Ireland, Wales and Scotland never win the RWC if it means us rugby fans end up turning into people like you.

When did the English beat the Argies that it mattered more?

That doesn't look like an English flag, looks more like the Union Flag of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.
I realise you may have forgotten that England is part of Great Britain and the United Kingdom, but in 1982 it was not England v Argentina. In the same way that 1914-18 and 1939-45 were not England v Germany. The whole of the UK were involved in those wars.
The EDL, England First, the English National Front etc may try to convince people otherwise, but they hate Britain and the United Kingdom and hence like to falsify history to suit their attitudes.

At least we've won the cup...

Something that no other Home nation will achieve in the foreseeable future AND we beat the Argies when it mattered

World Rugby Statement: Match officials

The icing on the fooking cake!!
Just googled the French analysis of Joubert's handling of the 2011 WC Final against NZ.
I agree with Gavin Hastings, never let him officiate a major match again. Damaged goods.

This (and the sour grapes bit)

I have perfected this recipe. The secret is to add a chopped apple to onion, madras curry powder, flour and chicken stock.

HTH

Dunno what's in it, but it's pretty tasty, especially after a night on the ale which is in plentiful and varied supply in Cardiff, fine town for a night out

You buy in Chip Alley and don't do the proper curry off the bone and chips? You total barbarian.
I was introduced to that tradition by an Australian lass, I was expecting some nasty curry sauce and was very nicely surprised.

Chippy? As in works as (i.e. carpenter) or goes to?

I had a nice Rissole and chips from Dorothys in Caroline Street on Saturday night. (Welsh will know it well). Does that make me a chippy welshman?

As Dodgy has pointed out your bitching about having an English ref looks and in fact stinks of sour grapes, it puts your earlier comments in context and just makes the "anything but England" attitude look like a part of your psychology.
The Scotts have a right to be aggrieved over a bit of dodgy reffing at the end of a storming game.

Didn't you lot win the poofball one in 1966 too. Sure I've heard that mentioned once or a million times!

I think "they" did, not us.

[psychocandy]

Again in the eyes of your average chippy welshman all that is important is to beat the English and then apportion blame for failure on the English. It is pathetic

Don't forget England are also proud of another world cup record - one a lot more recent, and one that the rest of the British and Irish Lions teams will not be able to emulate for the foreseeable future.


2003 - won it. None of the other British & Irish Lions countries can claim that
2015 - first home team to be knocked out in the group stages. None of the other British & Irish Lions countries can claim that either.


You must be so proud!

As long as we beat the English we don't care. la la la.
