Oh Rats!

England win their group then

What a great score Scotland against Russia.
Didn’t hear much about it
Then again we are not like the English,
We treat victory and defeat with decorum
We don’t make a big thing about victories,
As with us victories are few and far between.

not too much celebration in 77 then jordy

[Spicerack]

You can't be good at everything, jordy.
(like us Taffs)

[Jordyboy9]

Exactly spicerack,
And according to my extensive canvassing in foreign lands we Scots are the most friendliest and liked of all,
Next come the Welsh,then the Irish never heard much nice things said about the English south of Newcastle.

It's a shame games have been cancelled but peoples safety has to come first.

[ichkeria]

If any games had to be cancelled those were the ones. Bit harsh on Italy perhaps.
South Africa must be laughing: with about 12 days from their last group game (against the might of Canada) until their QF, they’ll see Scotland, Ireland and Japan fighting it out after all.
I will for once be a Scotland fan there, tho I’m not sure it makes a lot of difference who tops the group.

Interesting on how to turn a rugby thread into a veiled racist diatribe. Someone can't be much of a rugby fan as true fans enjoy the community of other fans whatever colour, creed or nationality they carry.

[ichkeria]

You do wonder why some provision couldn’t have been made for a rescheduling.
Typhoons in Japan aren’t unknown. It’s a bit of a black mark against the tournament I’m afraid.

[Jordyboy9]

You DTCwordfan,are another on here who seem to see things that aren’t there, no doubt your friends will be on in a minute or two agreeing with you,
Veiled racist diatribe??
If you think that remove my posts,
It would not be the first time,

[DTCwordfan]

it'a shame - but then it is a massive hurricane forecasted so safety comes into play. Shame for Italy more than England France and it could yet impact on the Nippon-Scots match....

[DTCwordfan]

why write such contentious twaddle to begin with?

[emmie]

i root for all the home nations, even though i am English.
and find people's attitude to us quite disturbing, if jordy post is anything to go by.

[Jordyboy9]

That’s the biggest joke of the day ,
Contentious twaddle
Have you been reading your GMEB posts
Don’t talk about contentious twaddle,

[ichkeria]

Not sure anyone crows about beating Russia at rugby.
Not even Jersey :-)

[Jordyboy9]

Ichkeria,it was all meant as a bit of friendly banter,
But again some are guilty of finding things that aren’t there,
I am seeing it quite a lot on here now,
Someone says something and it’s pounced on for the entirely wrong reason,
I was blaming Mamy for this till I realised it was not just her.

Never mind all those snowflakes can go and watch the Formula 1

Those F1 boys aren't scared of a bit of rain and wind

I heard on the radio this morning that no decision has yet been made about the Sunday games.
I'm hoping they move them and not cancel.

Agree with Ich, the organisers knew it was going to be typhoon season and should have made contingency plans surely?
