.....back to your gnat bite. You recall I'm sure:



'And  it was Mostert who gave away a silly penalty right after the De Alende try...it gave Wales the field position to score a soft try to negate the Bok try. He did some good things after that brainfart, but if we are going to start nitpicking for individual stand alone errors, that was probably one of the worst.'

 Sounded pretty bad, but I didn't recall the details. However on review I find that what actually happened is the Welsh lost the ball and the ever alert Mostert  was there and beat everybody to the ball on the deck. Kolisi was there to clean out but failed and the  Wallies contested the ball and got the penalty. Mostert literally had no chance to place the ball.











That was one of the worst?

OK, I'll watch it again. Maybe I was a bit harsh on him, but that penalty was crucial for Wales...gnat bite? Not the analogy people who know me would normally use, but if it works for yoy...You take disagreement too personally  I think.

Mike will be holding an impeachment hearing of his own. 

Mike says he has evidence Moz conspired with the Kiwis in promoting Mostert being picked. Mike has plenty of hearsay "evidence" and claims that Saffex, Shark and CC are willing to testify, not under oath, to the validity of Mike's claims.

Mike further claims that Moz embezzled Rankers' funds to build an illegal wall between new young players and the land of opportunity. According to Mike, this thought crime stands in direct violation of the IRB constitution.

At 14:00, the basement of Mike's home will have his collection of Cliques(it's Clicks, Mike, FFS!) toys packed away. It will then be converted into a pre-hearing hearing room/audition space, where any further witnesses are welcome to try out, uhh... give evidence.

Please note the word "Any" in the above paragraph. Mike really means it.

You are reminded that support for Mostert is treason. 

The Bok matches won while Mostert was on the park may have been the biggest games won in the last two years, but this is due to the good foundation laid down by his predecessors. The opposition feared them so much that they now tremble at Mostert's feet and adopt the foetal position while murmuring madly to themselves. This fact has been well established by RBI(Ruckers Bureau of Investigation). 

While it understood that Moz regularly supports players outside of the regular mould, it is important to paint the defendant as hanging on to the old regime and refusing to adopt the new. This incongruency is intentional on behalf of the defendant. He does not really support Kolbe, Mostert or Faf. This is fake news that he has spread in order to hide his true globalist agenda. Yes, there is one. Its manifesto - The 1882 Rugby Football Annual edited by C.W Alcock(no acronym intended in this truly unfortunate name), exists in its complete form.  

Mike understands that the pre-hearing hearings may be stressful to those less accustomed to converted dark wank spaces, but he assures you that there is a crying cupboard available. He can attest to its efficiency since he often shame-cries in it when recollecting his string of self violations.

And yes, there are plenty of tissues available too. Please let staff know when there are less than five boxes left. This is considered a critically low number and in direct violation of basement policy.

Nope. Gonna be a bit busy getting everything done at work before Friday...we have our annual 3 week break commencing. Tried to locate it quick.I skipped through an extended highlights package, but the penalty wasn't in it.

I'll try again the weekend...and I'll be truthful about things. I normally try to be objective, but I've got my blind spots too...wasn't aware that Mostert is one of them though.


You do know that I rate Mostert highly and that I said he did some crucial good things too?

Geez Draad you said it was just before the Welsh try.....which it was, a few minutes before. Not hard to find. And while you are doing that do me  a favour and tell us who the Bok jumper was who lost the first Bok lineout, and who was lifting him.....at minute 29.17.

And I'm doing this for fun...so on my time....I'm ADHD, so I get sidetracked easily...if I start doing things to curb that, it feels like work.

I actually feel you might have a case, hence no urge from me to run and watch it to prove you wrong. There's normally a good reason for me to procrastinate, even subconsciously.

I'll go for Lood, Eben can do no wrong in line outs...lood is good, but he tries too hard if he plays with Eben...trying to compensate for something I guess...

Draad

Stop it!

Being distracted doesn't qualify you as having ADHD.

Just the same way that a selfie while holding a beer and pouting should not be captioned as "Crazy night out".

Wanting a tidy house is not OCD. ADHD is a complete lack of ability to focus and crazy is being removed from Cliques because you are violently arguing with yourself over vibrator prices...after having entered the store naked.

"ADHD is a complete lack of ability to focus"

Not really....we struggle to focus on the mundane.

 Much more complex...and I was actually diagnosed as an adult (with my kids)...and you'd be surprised at the amount of people dealing with this without ever being diagnosed.

"Not really....we struggle to focus on the mundane."

This is a good thing. Not a condition. There are enough things in the universe that one doesn't find mundane. Your brain is trying to push you towárd those. 

Don't medicate it, go with it.

And the rest, well, "non-champs" seems the logical prefix.

Thanks for the link Vlag, it works well.

Moz, Definitely Lood who lost that lineout, but Wales anticipated the throw and contested well. Lood can be a bit predictable with his calls. Glory hound.


As for the penalty against Mostert? I was probably a bit harsh, but so are you on PSDT and some of your other dislikes.

The camera angles aren't that good, but to me it looks something like this:

Faf bothers the Wales scrummy and he fumbles the pass.

The ball lands on the deck and Mostert falls on it. 

The Welshmen are on him, contesting immediately. 

He either tries to get up to go forward, but ends up crawling forward with the ball.

I don't think he would have been able to place the ball, but he didn't even attempt to do so. 

He wasn't supported properly by the other Boks, but everything happened so fast, it's just one of those things.


And after watching some of that again, there was some really good ball-in-hand play by the Boks prior to the DdA try...and prior to the line out Lood lost. With a bit of luck we could probably scored a couple of tries more.

Rugby can be an emotional affair and it's much more difficult on the field than it looks on TV...or from the stands.  Sometimes the fans judge too harshly too soon.
