I Removed some of the unrelated one's.

I can expect Craig Joubert to take the blame again, should the Stormers have a torrid time againat the Tahs. LOL

You can expect me not to complain about the ref if we lose, :) not my style but. although i don't speak about other people

LOL @Ek. No problems. Not everybody has the same attitude as you though.

Windpomp I only complain after the match if warranted. If Craig gives us a fair deal you wont hear  a beep from me win or lose.

As for complaining about refs which Saffer didn't complain apart from windpomp - who sadly seemed to spend most of his efforts finding excuses for BL.  Lol, Lol and Lol.

Only complain after the match.......................? Eish, that is stretching the truth.

...................and even so, that is the prefect example of an excuse. "We have lost because the ref......................................"
