Well, now I am totally dumbfounded!
In a SABC News interview with Andy Turner, CEO, and Frans Ludeke, Coach, of the Cats, earlier tonight it was claimed that if it was not for the Spears, South African Teams, and specifically the Cats, would not have performed as badly as they did in the previous rounds of the Super 14.
According to Turner ”If it was not for the threat of promotion/relegation it would have been possible to fast track a couple of younger players into the Super 14 squad which would have meant that the Cats would not have done as badly in the Super 14. The fact that we had a 14 Team Currie Cup system last year, also contributed to the fact that South African players are not up to standard.”
Turner added that “we had to go for the more experienced players in order to ensure that we are competitive and escape relegation.”
All Ludeke, who, it was hinted, would retain his position as Head Coach of the Cats, had to say was “the players need to accept responsibility and they did just that since after the game against the Reds last Saturday.”
Well. I’ll be damned!
I am not going to write another book, but I would like to point out the following aspects:
Once again, like the RugRats have suggested, it is the players’ fault! Not Turner and his staff or, heaven forbid, Ludeke and his staff. Nope, it is the bad, bad players.
Secondly, the disadvantage of having to play with experienced players. And not with youngsters to build for the future. After a building process of four years under Ludeke and 38 losses out of 42! And the fact that these so-called experienced players are also still youngsters!
And, of course, it’s all the Southern Spears fault!
Funny. These statements had to be made a couple of days before SARU has to decide on the Spears issue. Kama and friends had their say. Now Turner and Ludeke.
Also funny that it should be made just before the weekend when SARU will meet at yet another “Bosberaad” to decide whether we will have another 14 Team Currie Cup format this year!
Real funny.
April 12th, 2006 at 9:04 pm
How is that humanly possible?
If anything the CATS and Stormers have been entrenched themselves far too long for the past 6 years in the Super 12/14 Series and this is symptomatic of what is bad in South African rugby.
April 12th, 2006 at 9:07 pm
suddenly davids’ thread earlier dont seem that funny anymore.
this is much better/funnier.
April 12th, 2006 at 9:12 pm
so what he is saying, as a matter of interest, is that a team with…..UHM……more or less 10 springboks are not ‘professional’ enough to deal with a simple concept like relegation – which in fact simply means, WIN YOUR DAMN GAMES AND YOU HAVE SHIT-ALL TO WORRY ABOUT!?
April 12th, 2006 at 9:14 pm
PissAnt
Did you get Knights review of the SA franchise player profiles apropos transformation?
April 12th, 2006 at 9:32 pm
It’s the spears fault that Zimbabwe has a draught. Had the relegation threat not been there, the rain would have fallen, and the people would have had food!
About the same relevance….
April 12th, 2006 at 9:39 pm
This has to be the most illogical thing I have heard. We would have done better if we had used our young players, but because we had to do better (to avoid relegation) we did not use the younger players. HUH???????????? He actually managed this contradiction in logic all within one sentance. Wow, either these guys are much more stupid than I thought, or they just think that we (the rugby supporters) are much more stupid than we are.
April 12th, 2006 at 9:43 pm
Throw all the other reasons for the Spears to play in the Super 14 next year out the window, I want them in there so I don’t have to hear so much stupidity from rugby execs anymore. I know we can count on Tony to avoid such embarrassing comments.
April 12th, 2006 at 10:24 pm
tony i did, something going up tomorrow.
April 13th, 2006 at 6:57 am
OK – Randy, handy , Andy,
This realy makes sense….
We are kak – becuase you guys might also play.
We are kak – becuase more than 2/3 of the team is VERY Experience, in facy they are BOKS, some of them rated Internationaly even though we played him/them out of posistion.
The fact that we (Frans and I ) contracted like our gatte, has nothing to do with it.
The fact that when we started contracting, we knew about the promotion thing – has nothing to do with it.
Can I give you two monkeys a tip – the players do read(the Papers) and do listen (to TV programs and the Radio)- and this already has been relayed to them. BE MEN – admit that you have fucked up!, admit that you do noy have a clue!, admit that made mistakes with recruiting .
PLEASE JUST FUCK OFF!
April 13th, 2006 at 7:14 am
So in effect a player can say he had a bad game because he is under pressure from another player vying for his spot in the start up.These guys are pathetic.The Sharks had the same sword hanging over them and look how they have performed.
April 13th, 2006 at 7:24 am
WHAT A LOAD OF SHIT.
You tell me I need to do well or else…….and i sure will do well. Not crumble
April 13th, 2006 at 7:26 am
YEah but the Sharks had a bunch of inexperience youngsters who don’t know anything about the pressures of preoffesional rugby.
I wonder if this was Dick’s plan all along.
THat was tongue in cheek don’t crucify me.
April 13th, 2006 at 7:30 am
KSA who did you play for in Durbs?
April 13th, 2006 at 7:35 am
How can we expect the players to act as pro’s when we have monkeys like this as administrators….
and
coaches
April 13th, 2006 at 8:02 am
This is a bigger load of crock than the comments that follow a thread on the other site.
They must really think us supporters are a bunch of woodcarvings.
April 13th, 2006 at 8:14 am
Saw Andy on TV the other day. – They should not send a giggling child to do a mans job.
April 13th, 2006 at 8:18 am
And to think this guy was responsible to teach people’s children. Shit I hope the standards of education for teachers has been stepped up. Frightning to think this guy was allowed to teach.
JJ,
Remember – adult amongst children and children among adults
April 13th, 2006 at 8:24 am
Donner
It reminds me of another one – “If you can’t do teach” we can add ‘if you cant teach become an administrator.’
April 13th, 2006 at 8:30 am
Umm – but they’re getting stuffed every week even with the “experienced” players… The arguement makes no sense.
April 13th, 2006 at 8:30 am
JJ,
My dad has landed himself in big trouble time and again. Upon hearing that someone is a teacher he would ask them: “O so jy wou ook nie werk nie?”
April 13th, 2006 at 8:34 am
Robd,
This must be the biggest brain fart this guy could ever have.
It just shows you how the guys are ganging up against the Spears. Unfortunately they never realised that morons shouldn’t be allowed to speak.
Next press release will be Rob Wagner blaming the Spears for global warming. After that Harold Verster will come clean and say that the Spears is actually a militant organisation with ties to Al Queda.
April 13th, 2006 at 8:40 am
This is pathetic.
Please please let me have someone at GLRU Trust who van watch or read this and say
ENOUGH!!!!
Chase those two back to teaching.
Teaching ABET courses to homicidal maniacs in C-Max would be best for me.
I mean I just don’t know what to say.
ALL the South African teams started with the possibility of relegation.
Isn’t it funny that quite coincidentally the two worst coaches have had the worst results?
April 13th, 2006 at 8:41 am
Pietploos said it all at 06h57
April 13th, 2006 at 8:48 am
DavisS – agree, and in such flowery language, hehe, he must be a frustrated cat supporter
April 13th, 2006 at 9:00 am
The hardest part was actually watching Oom Fransie on TV last night. The oke looked like a frightened bunny rabbit staring down both barrels. How can an idiot like that inspire confidence in anyone?
April 13th, 2006 at 9:03 am
Excuse 1 : we lost because our players are too young. We are building for the future and these inexperienced youngsters actually did quite well to only sustain a small snot klap
Excuse 2 : we lost because we had to choose older players and couldn’t blood the youngsters we wanted…
I might have been a teacher once but even I am not thick enough to swallow that lot.
April 13th, 2006 at 9:07 am
Donner et al,
If it wasn’t for a teacher you wouldn’t be reading and posting on this site.
And your father sounds like an illerate fool.
April 13th, 2006 at 9:10 am
Evita Bezuidenhout as main coach, with Nataniel as forwards coach, and Kakpraat de Vries to coach the backs. GO CATS!!!
Watch these KATTE next year boys!!
April 13th, 2006 at 9:17 am
yossarian,
Sorry to hear about your sense of humour. When did it finally leave you?
April 13th, 2006 at 9:23 am
38 losses out of 42 games??????????????
I didn’t realise his record was THAT bad…
April 13th, 2006 at 9:26 am
Yoss
I never said anything about teachers being bad or stupid.
My brother-in-law is a teacher and a damned good one.
BUT he is not a lawyer.
ps. I am a registered trainer too.
But by the same token that I would NEVER be able to teach kids how to read, Andy should not be running a multi million rand company and Frans should not be coaching an international rugby team.
My father has a saying
“Skoenmaker bly by jou nering”
For those non Afrikaans speakers among us it roughly means
Shoemaker stay within your profession.
It holds true for both.
ps. From my twelve year sojourn through the 70′s and 80′s educational system I can speak with great authority that not all teachers are actually good educators. Some should never have been teaching kids. Other were passionate Educators and some were indifefrent.
Just like life where you can’t just box everyone into a convenient label.
I appreciate the incredible value that teachers add to our children.
But it annoys me to see two teachers try and be a bog time CEO and an international rugby coach.
April 13th, 2006 at 9:27 am
Somebody tell this idiot to stick his finger up his nose and wiggle it around a little bit, his brain is stuck in first gear.
The stupidity of his statement is of titanic proportions.
But it does show one thing, the Spears are definitely putting a bit of fear in the teams. It just worries me that if the Spears ever player the Cats for a spot in the 2007 Super 14 that it will be a bit of a bloodbath.
April 13th, 2006 at 9:28 am
Jees, you okes all sound mad! And that because a a perfectly logical explanation of why they’re not performing. Did you really think it’s their own fault? Jees, but you are a bunch of idiots!
Just like the Cats play poor, because the Spears exist, I’m gonna be stuck in traffic on the N1 north today, heading towards Alldays, because the Spears exist, oh and this bloody laptop that I’m trying to get working, will not go on, because Tony is on this site! I wish the Spears would just piss off. They’re messing everything up!
April 13th, 2006 at 9:29 am
Oh, and that whole paragraph, was me being sarcastic!
April 13th, 2006 at 9:32 am
2nd
He coached the Cats after Tim Lane…
Took them from semi-finalists to pit dwellers in one season.
April 13th, 2006 at 9:34 am
KSA
Both Barrels heheheh
That phrase is now copyrighted
Like I said
A BETTER GAME FOR ALL
But I agree- the two people in question – lank dof -ek se
How the GLRU Player trust is allowing them to manage their money is beyond me
Thank God- and Ras can decided who he wants to thank-
That the Cheetahs are rid of the Cats
THE CATS ARE DEAD
Play as the Lions- and get rid of the ass-holes- or stay the laughing stock of the Rugby Union World
Or the other side of the coin is- maybe they see the GL Player trust as their private piggy bank and is distributing the funds to thier cronies- some kind of officially sanctioned money laundering- who cares about the on-field performance
April 13th, 2006 at 9:36 am
David – was “bog time CEO” a Freudian slip?
April 13th, 2006 at 9:38 am
OO – confusing KSA and me, by any chance?
April 13th, 2006 at 9:41 am
Aldo
I agree
Tony McKeever is behind global warming
The existence of the Spears is a complex plot by the Illuminati to take over the world starting with destroying Cats rugby. It’s the whole domino effect.
We should laud Andy. He and Frans are the buffer between the world as we know and the New World Order under ‘maverick’ McKeever and his evil minions in the Illuminati who are gleefully rubbing their hands together and laughing like Dr Evil.
Thank God for Andy Turner and Frans Ludeke for standing between us and total world domination.
Luckily they’ve been able to get their message out so the rest of us know, because we all know Tony McKeever uses the media to fight his battles.
These dangerous Spears with their global warming, plots to help Al Quaeda and secretly smuggling nuclear technology to North Korea.
They probably even have a secret tracking station outside PE with a huge magnet to attract passing asteroids to strike the earth and kill all life on the planet. They had a complicated system that changed the course of that hurricane so that it would strike New Orleans!
Probably the Spears were also in on the plot against Jacob Zuma I bet.
Yes, the Spears are the root of all evil, not just in rugby, but also throughout the world.
April 13th, 2006 at 9:45 am
Rob
No a typing error, but I reckon it’s appropriate in the case of Turner.
April 13th, 2006 at 9:49 am
DavidS
Thanks. It’s now all starting to make sense to me.
Coming to think of it, since the Spears started playing, we are having massive power failures in the Western Cape.
And our Telkom ADSL is not working nicely this morning.
Wonder who those two guys with the dark glasses are sitting across the road this morning….?
April 13th, 2006 at 9:50 am
And they would’ve got away with it too, if it wasn’t for those pesky school-teachers-masquerading-as-rugby-administrators
April 13th, 2006 at 9:52 am
My daughter didn’t sleep well last night. Damn you, McKeever and your evil empire!
April 13th, 2006 at 9:55 am
Chuck Norris must watch out
Tony Mckeever is going to get him
And Riaan Cruywagen
and Steve Hofmeyer…
and George wabbelu
I got a kidney stone- about the time that the Spears were created… shyte
My medical aid to sue the Spears
I hope SARU will cover that
April 13th, 2006 at 9:57 am
hehehe PostMan
Just that all DubbelOOp stories , should be treated with Respect mahn
April 13th, 2006 at 10:00 am
On both barrels it was actually RobD and not Il Postino or KSA
But lets blame it on the Spears
Ist a bif SF – van epidermiese proporsies
April 13th, 2006 at 10:02 am
Of course, I see it now – Thanks Andy for pointing it out to me!!!
You are a lifesaver. I always thought that the idea of a competition was to actually COMPETE.
Funny enough, when I was younger I used to believe that if you wanted to get better, you had to play against the players/teams you thought were better than you – if you won, it meant that you were better no?
April 13th, 2006 at 10:06 am
Somedays, I wonder why I get up and then when I visit this site, I laugh till my stomach hurts.Today is on of those days.You okes come up with some classics. As for the Spears conspiracy theory. I think they are to blame for the earth being round and not flat.
April 13th, 2006 at 10:07 am
Shit, now that you mention it robd, since the whole Spears debacle has started, my baby’s also struggled to sleep all through the night. The children know something we don’t!!! Thank god for clearthinking teachers! Thanks Frans and Andy, we would not have known.
I’m starting to see a pattern, mmmm, is Tony in any way linked to Al Queda? Tony is behind the assasination of Kennedy! And the Fall of the Afrikaner and Apartheid, it is all a clever plot by the CIA, to keep the Afrikaner from standing up! We will be to down, because one of our own has failed, and all thanks to that big word using, clever talking, funny accented man!
April 13th, 2006 at 10:09 am
What do you mean the Earth is round?
Heretic!
April 13th, 2006 at 10:09 am
OMG, now I have read it all…is this a joke? Did these plonkers really come out and say this on TV…Good grief we are in alot deeper than I thought at first and I also thought it wasn’t possible to sink any further.
What an absolute contradiction this all is.So you telling us you could have played better buit chose to get players to avoid relegation…WTF is going on here.
April 13th, 2006 at 10:09 am
Its not flat?
Shit.
April 13th, 2006 at 10:09 am
Tony
How could you?
April 13th, 2006 at 10:09 am
Aldo,
I have a worse problem, since the whole Spears debacle my baby is sleeping far better
April 13th, 2006 at 10:11 am
Andy
Keep your Coach – if you want to
But at least fire the oke who allowed you to make that statement public- Shyte that oke is really dof
April 13th, 2006 at 10:12 am
PA,
When I read articles like this it puts doubt in my mind if the rot of SARU is really that deep. With a mentality like the above it wouldn’t be difficult for a choice.., oh lets say, 5 people to make a circus out of SA rugby
April 13th, 2006 at 10:14 am
These idiots deserve each other and I truely hope that the relegation goes ahead , I am now more determined than ever for the Spears to play next year it has to happen.
The Cats have embarrassed the lot of us for too long now.Enough already.
April 13th, 2006 at 10:16 am
NOOOOOOOOO CSB! How could you? Do not give in to the attack from the NWO! Soon, we will all have chips in our heads, telling us to all support the Spears! Thanks to your team, we will be saved! WE WILL HAVE A CHOICE!
Okay, I’m done now, will not make any more crap jokes for the day!
April 13th, 2006 at 10:17 am
CSB – when you pulling in to town, bru?
April 13th, 2006 at 10:20 am
Aldo – I don’t believe you.
Have I sent you the bloubul pps, btw?
April 13th, 2006 at 10:20 am
Sorry Aldo but this has gone on long enough and it is time for the Cats to go back to their litter.
Hey RobD, I arrive end of the month can’t wait to get the hell outta of here now.
April 13th, 2006 at 10:21 am
The fans have spoken.
Ollie,
Like I mentioned to you before, the web is much wider than we think
April 13th, 2006 at 10:26 am
Robd, don’t start with me! I know people in the NWO!
April 13th, 2006 at 10:33 am
In Ollie’s case I assume his ‘baby’ is a 19 year old lingerie model.
I think the Spears are actually also part of a plot to bring back grand apartheid.
They’re the reason why a shower doesn’t protect you from HIV and onions and garlic don’t cure you.
The Spears are now using HIV/AIDS to eradicate all black people soi that whites can bring back grand apartheid!
Kandas
And their flyhalf is a muslim – a key pivotal position.
Now we know Tony – your secret is out.
Thanks to the brave investigations of Frans and Andy. The thin red line.
The guys sitting outside Kandas’ house with the dark glasses are Ishmael Dollie and Ashley Johnson.
They’re crack Al Quaeda and Illuminati trained assassins.
We’re all screwed!
Except the teachers have saved our bacon!
April 13th, 2006 at 10:34 am
Sweet – we must catch up. Hope you’re going to join the touch game while you’re here.
April 13th, 2006 at 10:36 am
Davids, you’ve got it all wrong! They’re in a plot, to stop us whites from taking what is ours!!1
April 13th, 2006 at 10:38 am
RobD for sure , I’ll be up for some touch.I def get intouch once I’m there.
April 13th, 2006 at 10:42 am
I’ve got a question, the rule is that we’re not allowed to talk crap on the weekly soapbox. We should stick to the point. My question, if the article is a load of crap like this, can we then talk about any crap in genereal, or should we stick to the crap at hand?
April 13th, 2006 at 10:42 am
Thanks to Tony and his communist plot, I see Brad Barrit is on the bench this week.
April 13th, 2006 at 10:43 am
Surely crap is crap?
April 13th, 2006 at 10:43 am
***********************************************
Aldo, you will stick to the crap at hand!
***********************************************
April 13th, 2006 at 10:49 am
Ahhh, your catching on Robd!!!!
Admin, thanks for the answer, no need to be cross! Did you tell Kandas about the puppies?
Oh, and do you mind me using you stars from time to time, like on the other Ludeke thread?
Robd, apparently crap is not crap, you get different kinds of crap! Or that is what Admin says!
April 13th, 2006 at 10:53 am
Well, if anyone would know crap, Admin would
So anyway – it’s all a Spears plot, like I said, but I would think it would be in their interests for the Sharks to klap the Cats, thus further discrediting Andy and Frans, the two lone voices who know the truth. If they had allowed Brad to play at 12, I think it would have been more convincing.
Still, I reckon Straussie could probably break a couple of Julies “tackles” if he tried…
Maybe the Spears know what they’re doing.
How’s that for sticking to the crap at hand?
April 13th, 2006 at 10:53 am
So Aldo
You will conentrate on the plot by Tony and his Spears cronies to take over the world.
So tonight Tony and Knight Ntabeni and Ashley Johnson and Pieter De Villers will sit around a table.
Tony: Drat! Foiled again!
Pieter: We would have gotten away with it if it wasn’t for those snooping teachers!
Knight: What are we going to do now?
Ashley: Boss? What now. Want me to take them out.
Tony: Too late for that. We’ve been ratted out boys.
Knight: So now?
Tony: Same thing we do every day Knight… Try to TAKE OVER THE WORLD!
[ALL]: MUUHAHAHAHAHA…… MUUHAHAHAHAHAH….MUUUHAHAHAHAH!!!!
April 13th, 2006 at 10:53 am
Davids,
I wish my “baby” was a 19 year old lingerie model, but HE is an 8 week old cutey.
April 13th, 2006 at 10:55 am
AdMAnian Crap
All crap are equal- but some crap are more eq..crap than others.
BTW
Have anyone noticed how “crappy” the german toilets smell- allways very clean but shyte always a hanginbg smell there.
Thoase boys love their meat- pork meat that is
Sorry Admin- but seeing that crap is crap- even if it is not the official soapbox crap at hand..
heheheh let me stop
before the crap and the fan comes together
April 13th, 2006 at 10:58 am
A crap in da hand- thats not Darren’s udda hand- is worth much more that a couple of craps in the Bush
I keep hearing the Hemi growling
HOWZIT ADMIN!!!
April 13th, 2006 at 11:04 am
OO,
What’s more, if you shake the crap in your right hand for a while, and bring your left and close to it you will end up have crap tantric sex
April 13th, 2006 at 11:04 am
Hehe OO.
Robd, you don’t understand how difficult this conspiracy is. They mde the sharks drop barrit, to make the Cats feel that the whole world are not out to get them. BUT, in the meetime, they are allready planning theeir next move, now that the Teachers are of their backs!
April 13th, 2006 at 11:06 am
We might as well add this thread to the Brannasnacht category.
April 13th, 2006 at 11:07 am
A cellphone rings somehwere in Durban
Ring ring. Ring ring
Andries Strauss: Hoezit?
Mysterious Voice: Agent 249?
Strauss: Ja Kommandant!
Mysterious Voice: The bald fish eagle will feast on the rabid mongoose.
Strauss: Hangs on to your horses. I can’t finds my codebook. Oh, wait – it are here under my copy of Sharks magazine.
The sounds of pages being turned frantically
Strauss: Kommandant – you can mlikes to mean the big day have finally arrive? The final chapter in the great plan? The end of our common enemies, Oom Frans en kie?
Mysterious Voice: Affirmative, Agent 249
Strauss: According to the code book, I needs to run right over the Julies oke and score 3 tries…
Mysterious Voice: Thus comdemning the pathetic Cats to yet another humiliating defeat. Frans and Andy will be discredited further and no-one will believe them when they tell the truth about the mater plan
Strauss: It all sound too easy.
Both: Muaahaaaahaaaa, Muaahaaaahaaaa, etc
April 13th, 2006 at 11:08 am
Mmmmmmm
Okay, so we’ve already got the Immutable Law of Threads.
Now we also know that by any Thursday, any rugby site goes to crap in a handbasket so is it the Immutable Law of Weeks?
April 13th, 2006 at 11:09 am
The Spears killed Hitler, snubbed the KKK and cause the tsunami. And the Teachers will prove it very soon.
April 13th, 2006 at 11:10 am
Bwahaha Ollie!!!
April 13th, 2006 at 11:11 am
The Spears all drive Nissan Hardbody bakkies
April 13th, 2006 at 11:12 am
Hehe Robd, that is a classic! Kammandant and everything included!
April 13th, 2006 at 11:12 am
- by the 20th comment any semblance of normality relating to the original thread subject is totally gone.
- by Thursday any sensible rugby chat is history.
The French clamour for a 4 day week, no doubt voiceiferously supported by Duiwel – we may as well institute a 4 day Brannasnacht!
April 13th, 2006 at 11:13 am
Hehe Robd, that is a classic! Kammandant and everything included!
Ras, esspesially, is the Thursday is the start of a long weekend in SA!!!
April 13th, 2006 at 11:13 am
Ollie,
Just glad you didn’t say tantric crap sex. That could have started a Valiant.
April 13th, 2006 at 11:14 am
**vociferously**
April 13th, 2006 at 11:15 am
Donner, think the valiant has allready started. but doesn’t OO like o ring tantric style?
April 13th, 2006 at 11:16 am
Ras,
This only happened because no-one knew the motives of the Spears. We must be stupid to not have seen this. Congrats to Andy and Fransie for showing us the light.
It is a day to rejoice.
April 13th, 2006 at 11:17 am
“What’s more, if you shake the crap in your right hand for a while, and bring your left and close to it you will end up have crap tantric sex”

I just wish they would finalise all the bloody teams in time for the FL cutoff. It’s a Spears plot, etc.
April 13th, 2006 at 11:20 am
Aldo,
Please don’t make fun of it. We cater for all walks of life. Even Turner and Ludeke
Damn that sounds liek a TV series.
Starsky and Hutch, Turner and Ludeke
If Andy showed any resemblance to Tom Hanks, we could have said Turner and Hooch. The second character does have some resemblance to Frans.

Honey, did he just say “make merry?
I think he did!
You know what that means….
a celebration?
Hehe, let the games begin. come on, I’ve only got about 25 more mins of work till I get to go home!

Shit the more I think about it, the more I realise that Hooch could have been played by Frans.
April 13th, 2006 at 11:46 am
On this day

April 13th, 2006 at 11:52 am
On this day
2006
Frans “master detective hound” Ludeke and Andy “drunk” Turner, masterfully uncovers, and foils, a plot by the Spears to take over the world.
April 13th, 2006 at 11:55 am
Damn we are going to be part of history. People will remember the day that our two heroes saved the world.
April 13th, 2006 at 11:58 am
Maybe we should bring this to Jeremy Mansfield’s attention. He can personally thank them for saving us from ……………. The Spears Aghhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!

Hey Ras
See you at Brannas tonight?
April 13th, 2006 at 11:59 am
I could never understand why comedians like Casper never ridicule our rugby administrators. Now it is cryatal clear. He can’t compete with them.
April 13th, 2006 at 12:00 pm
So in the future 13 April will be known as Turner and Hooch Day.
Everyone will wear red and white shirts with teacher caps.
And burn eggigies of Tony and break Spears.
April 13th, 2006 at 12:01 pm
Yip Donner, we should feel honoured, today is even bigger than the day that Armstong landed on the moon. And the old toppies, like JJ, can say they we’re alive on BOTH of these days!
Oh and actually the Russians were on the moon first, but in a clever move by Tony and the Spears, they made it look like America, so that the Americans would think they’re better than the rest of the world, and become a stupid nation, finally voting in George W Bush JR, to keep Americans busy in Iraq, and not stop their evil plan!!!! But they never took into account, that their long time foes, the teachers, would not rest untill they stopped them!!!
April 13th, 2006 at 12:02 pm
Ok we have 14 Feb, 20 March and 13 April.
What will happen in May???? Austin Powers and Dr Evil day!!!!!!!
April 13th, 2006 at 12:04 pm
Aldo,
You just proved the theory that the americans were never on the moon. The footage was shot somewhere outside Upington by Tony and his hencemen.
April 13th, 2006 at 12:07 pm
“1742 – Prolific composer George Frideric Handel conducts the first performance of Messiah in Durban.”
Are NONE of you going to correct this….
EISH
April 13th, 2006 at 12:08 pm
Ras,
We realise, but everybody knows it was in Wuppertal.
April 13th, 2006 at 12:09 pm
And thusly in the land of the Green Warriors
Did arise a new threat and it would be called
The threat of the Tony and it would make War
Under the banner of the Spear
But in the City of Gold did arise two teachers
And one would be a teacher of children and
One would be a teacher of youth who would see
Tony and the Spear
And thusly would they be known as Andy the
Clown and Frans Clouseau who would see these
Spears and read what their plot would be
For Tony and the Spears would have plans
And they would be the ones;
For lo would Tony and his Spear plot to end
All as we would know it. They would try to
Stop war and would cause grave calamity
To all in the world to conquer not only
The Green Warriors of the South
But all warriors who would make war unto them
Using the methods of evil to overthrow
But the teachers would see this plot
And would go unto the greatest scribes and
Cry wolf unto them of this nefarious
Evil doer
Who would thusly be thwarted and spaketh
Unto his minions:
“Drat are we foiled by these sharp minds
Let us retire and skulk
And plotteth a new way for the plan of
The Banner of the Spears hath been
Uncovered and we are failed to be
Victorious. Curse the teachers!”
And all would rejoice that they would
Be fooled and fall but for the fortitude
Of the teachers and would spaketh:
“Let it be known that our bacon is saved
By the the great teachers. For from
This day hence shall this day be known as
The Day of the Teachers from the
City of Gold
And upon this day shall all wear
Red and white jerkins
and hats of black squares in the
Manner of a teacher
Hear Ye Hear Ye
So spaketh the Oracle.
April 13th, 2006 at 12:10 pm
“And burn eggigies of Tony and break Spears.”
DavidS,
Where can I buy an eggigie?
Eish, it’s Tony’s fault that the “f” is placed right next to the “g” on keyboards!
April 13th, 2006 at 12:11 pm
Dubbel OO7,
Yip. With bells on!
April 13th, 2006 at 12:13 pm
Exactly, Donner!
Should read:
“On this day
1742 – Prolific composer George Frideric Handel conducts the first performance of Messiah in Wuppertal.”
You get first prize, Donner. I decree that, for you, tomorrow and Monday shall be public holidays.
April 13th, 2006 at 12:14 pm

Brilliant.
These guys were brilliant. Not even Nostradamus could predict Tony and his evil hencemen.
April 13th, 2006 at 12:14 pm
Ras
Nah
We thought we’d let you look stupid.
I assumed that seeing as OUR Durban is named after a former governor of the Port Natal colony who was not yet alive in 1742, it couldn’t be our Durban and must have been another different city.
April 13th, 2006 at 12:17 pm
Probably Tony who put the name of the place wrong in a book somewhere and his evil cohorts made sure it became part of history.
Eventually Tony and the Spears will take over everything and even the Bible will begin with
“And in the beginning there was Tony and the Spears…”
It’s selective editing.
1984′s Newspeak is coming and it’s all through Tony and his minions.
Damn him for putting the g and f next to each other
I meant of course EFFIFFIES

Quite busy at work, been writing a program for a few months and now implementing it and only now the users come with other requests.
I read all the stuff on here early in the morning but don’t really have time to contribute all that much.
But I decided to have a quiet day today since I’m feeling a bit “broos”. Had a hectic practice last night and Monday night and then for some reason went on a bender while discussing mauls and scrumming with the coach and then afterwards when I got home solved all the problems in SA Rugby over a bottle of Red wine with my father in law who’s visiting.

George Frideric Handel
Born in the same year and country as Johann Sebastian Bach, young Georg Friederich Händel (the original German spelling of his name) was playing the violin, harpsichord, oboe, and organ by the age of eleven.
——————–
So, Posty, yes and no
April 13th, 2006 at 1:03 pm
You too, Donner. Take care.
April 13th, 2006 at 1:04 pm
And it was Wuppertal

He remained in England for the rest of his life, becoming a naturalized citizen in 1726 and anglecizing his name to George Frideric Handel.

He and Ludgwig van B could have been a team then, Ras.
A girl I used to work with used to have Ludwig van B’s 9th symphony (Ode to Joy) as her ringtone. Being a typical ***ing smoker she would leave her phone on her desk during her interminable smoke breaks and we would have to listen to her phone ringing.
Eventually we took to shouting out in thick German accents: “Hello, Ludwig van Beethoven here? Speak up, I can’t hear you!”
April 13th, 2006 at 1:17 pm
Rob either 01 or 02 there are only 11 games in the season if you don’t make the finals.
I think it was 02.

April 13th, 2006 at 1:20 pm
I think it was ’99, RobD.
Coach: Phil Pretorius
Captain: Joost van der Westhuizen
Players to Watch: Joost van der Westhuizen
Venue: Loftus
Super 12 Record: 1996 (semi-finalists), 1997 (8th), 1998 (11th), 1999 12th), 2000 (11th).
2001 Season Report:
In terms of results, another dismal season, the Bulls again finishing comfortably last. But at either end of the season they did enough to suggest that they were not quite as bad as they appeared.Their tour of Australasia during the first four rounds , particularly in Wellington, threatened a victory, but lack of confidence at crucial moments cost them dearly. Then in rounds eleven and twelve a home win over the Blues and an extraordinary away win against the Cats underlined what might be possible if they could for once start a season winning and thus acquire the winning habit. On an individual level, lock Victor Matfield and centre Adi Jacobs enhanced their reputations with consistently eye-catching performances.
The Bulls preparations for this year’s Super 12 took them on a tour of Fiji. An initial loss prompted coach Phil Pretorious to read the riot act and victory in their final game suggests they may be back on the right track.
Phil Pretorius’ charges beat a strong Fijian Warriors side 19-14 in their final tough encounter and Pretorius was keen to proclaim the tour a success.
The Bulls showed a lot of courage in the game after the coach had accused the players of lacking passion and pride in their defeat in the tour opener. “The biggest characteristic of the game was the team’s guts,” Pretorius said from Nandi.
“At times we attacked very well and scored three good tries in the process.” He, however, added it wasn’t a great game, but said he was satisfied with the overall performance.
“The guys played very well. It was a tough game and very physical. “We’ve worked them a lot since the match on Saturday and they were clearly tired, but never gave up. They wanted that win,” the delighted coach added. He said the Bulls were well on their way to achieving what they wanted to before the Super 12 kicks off in less than three weeks time.
“Everything is in place. I’m not saying we are going to cause havoc, but the Bulls are really well prepared. We don’t have the big names other teams have, and it’s going to ask a massive team effort to do well.
“Although the players are very tired after playing seven games in 15 days, the team spirit is very good and the players are really fit.”
The Bulls preparations were also disrupted when they became embroiled in the latest saga to hit the implementation of the quota system in South African rugby.
South African Rugby Football Association (Sarfu) chief executive Rian Oberholzer was forced to defend the Bulls after Ministry spokesman Graham Abrahamson lashed out at the Bulls’ selection policy after Thando Manana was left out of the Fijian pre-season tour, saying that the franchise is promoting the perception that racism is still rife in rugby.
“The policy of transformation is being stymied by the Bulls and it is either provincialism or blatant racism,” Abrahamson said. “Sadly the Bulls failed in the first opportunity presented to them to demonstrate their commitment to transformation of the game,” he added.
But according to Oberholzer, the complaints are unfounded with Bulls coach Phil Pretorius having selected “quota” players Adrian Jacobs, Gavin Paasens and McNeil Hendriks for the Fiji tour.
Adding to the confusion and seemingly unaware of his franchise’s own team, Bulls chief executive Barend van Graan passed the buck, saying that Pretorius was accountable for selection.
Van Graan admitted that he did not know why Pretorius apparently selected only one “black” player after initially picking four in their Super 12 interim squad. “I will speak to Phil as soon as possible to sort this out,” he said. “There is still an opportunity for them to make the final squad,” he added.
Abrahamson, speaking as an official Ministry of Sport spokesman, went on in length as to the exclusion of Manana but according to Oberholzer, the Springbok flanker was dropped and not omitted for any sinister reasons. “He was just not selected,” said Oberholzer.
The Bulls are prolific under-achievers in the Super 12 and will have to improve a lot if they want to erase the sad memories of the previous two seasons. They finished last in 1999 and second from the bottom last year – something Pretorius would want to avoid in his maiden season at the Bulls helm.

And yet every year before the S12\14 start we are all full of hope that “This is our year” and each year after the first few weeks we become disillusioned with our team. Journalists that were calling our players heroes during the International season are now crapping on them.

There are some interesting figures in there.
April 13th, 2006 at 1:34 pm
Of the 100 Most Capped players in S12/14 only 16 are SA players and of those 16, 7 are in the last 10.
Ergo, of the 90 most capped S12/14 players only 9 (10%) are Saffas.
April 13th, 2006 at 1:35 pm
It sort of makes you think why Saffas feel they are a strong Rugby nation. These figures tell a whole different story.
Do we change our players to easily? How can we have so few most capped players…
April 13th, 2006 at 1:38 pm
Posty, it’s a self-fulfilling prophecy. Treat people like dogs and that’s how they’ll behave.
April 13th, 2006 at 1:39 pm
Poor talent identification in the first place, KSA, followed up by a lack of investment (not necessarily money) in the chosen individuals in terms of building upon their skills and identifying and eradicating weaknesses.
Essentially we’ve cheapened the honour of representing your franchise.
April 13th, 2006 at 1:43 pm
Amen Ras. Super 12/14 jerseys are handed out like sweeties. Hell, I’m surprised I never got capped.
April 13th, 2006 at 1:49 pm
Hell, but those comments from Frans and Andy illicited a lot of response from you guys, even a lot of “crap”
Now just imagine if they have said that the Cats statistically have a chance to reach the semi’s, they just need to win more games……
My FL team has been picked and I am off to Cape Town for the Two Oceans. Enjoy the weekend’s rugby and everyone please hold thumbs for the Bulls (but I just know you will!!).

Considered a fashion no-no for years, the beard is back. Wherever one looks, young men are growing beards again.

Methos sorry.
I will do it next week.

At least wes is on the 5000′s list
Must be because he’s an uncle Tom who lives among white people and went to white school and stuff like that.

April 13th, 2006 at 3:00 pm

Chuck never shaved his off, of course. And it’s not the old Bokkie type either.
I’m dreading the return of the handlebar moustache too. Thankfully that Corne and Twakkie show never really took off so they won’t be setting any fashion trends.
April 13th, 2006 at 3:02 pm
My wife has stumbled upon the Corne and Twakkie ringtone. Bloody irritating.

It’s one of the reasons I have never liked Mallett. When that controversy about Geo was raging, Mallett made some dof remark that Geo only had himself to blame in the whole controversy for wearing a beard. I’m the first to have a go at right wing Afrikaners, but I thought that was a pretty bigoted remark.
The next season all the NZ forwards are sporting beards and Mallett says nothing.

A lot of Afrikaaners can do with a bit of reading and shaving beards- but seeing that you need some grunt to compete on the pitch- its dof to want cleanshaven tiddlywinks to compete with the MIB’s from down under.
But then was that not also the time that mallet had played Boome- just before he had to go to France for studies? man you do get a better contract if you are an international- and then sommer your agent gets lank booty more
April 13th, 2006 at 3:13 pm

A cave dweller – Some kind of Hermit.

But does that guy know about tantra – and the yelloValiant?
April 13th, 2006 at 3:17 pm
My wife always remarks on how, no matter how young, an international rugby forward never looks young.
Unlike policemen, or teachers, no matter how old you get, international forwards always look grizzled.
Football players, by comparison, look like what they are, primadonnas just out of kindergarten.
April 13th, 2006 at 3:20 pm
Well apart from Skinstad and Joe van Niekerk, that is.
Geo looked like a 30 year old at U21.
April 13th, 2006 at 3:21 pm
KSA – they’re doing an SA version of Survivor. In Panama. Filming happens in July.
Ras – ok, I got it, but I had to look it up, so it doesn’t count.
April 13th, 2006 at 3:22 pm
Cheetahs needed a guy like Geo at two this year
Not for the lineouts but for the tight phases
April 13th, 2006 at 3:24 pm
If I ran Survivor, man they would kak off.
None of that wishy washy pansy mansy thing they do on the US & UK shows.
My guys would be eating their toenails by the end of the 1st week.
April 13th, 2006 at 3:24 pm

April 13th, 2006 at 3:26 pm
Robd where do I get info…
April 13th, 2006 at 3:27 pm
OO,
Geo’s whole adult career has been unfortunate.
Just as he got a foothold in the Boks it was all over.
Then he got that knee injury and never really recovered.
He could have done a job as backup to Bakkies and for the Stormers.
Still, one suspects that after what happened it was destined never to be.
I hope he is on the road to recovery.
April 13th, 2006 at 3:28 pm
Troglodyte is definitely a cave-dweller. Not sure what a troglodytes troglodyte is though? A tick on a cave-dweller?
April 13th, 2006 at 3:29 pm
Wrens are daily visitors to our garden often remaining active for some time after sunset, constantly examining an ivy-covered wall. Tiny, pugnacious and mouselike they are almost as familiar as robins.
Flight is rapid except during the brief glide before landing when rounded wings and spread tail present a ‘parachute’ appearance. The wren’s song may be heard during every month of the year and even occasionally at night. Most astonishing thing about it is its volume-as if the vibrating performer is trying to burst its lungs.

It seems you had been a very bad boy, according to those Jozi Jollers
April 13th, 2006 at 3:49 pm
Tony,
It’s all your fault.
Everything.
The Cats are losing because you forced them to pick their best players for fear of being relegated.
You should feel ashamed.
April 13th, 2006 at 3:50 pm
Sorry OO it was Methos

April 13th, 2006 at 3:54 pm
Hi Tony
Seeing as you’re being blamed for the performance of the Cats we decided it was probably because you were responsible for a lot of things, like global warming and hurricanes in New Orleans.
Everything’s the Spears fault today you see, because Frans and Andy said so.
April 13th, 2006 at 3:54 pm

Will get an upclose view from one of our guys who took unpaid leave to scope out the New Zealanders and will be ringside at the Force game.
For the rest, the Stormers still need to win and the Cats need to stop losing.

And do it in the media
Say you don’t have secret facility of mind control specialists especially trained to make the Cats loos like bumbling idiots and make theirmanagement select their strongest team all te time so they can’t play weaker players like Jannes Labuschagne, Kleinjan Tromp, Wylie Huma etc etc etc…
April 13th, 2006 at 4:03 pm
Ja Tony,
Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin wants to know why the Spears caused Chechnya to want to break away from the glorious motherland.
It really is disgusting that you’ve forced the Cats to select their best players in an attempt to win some matches.
Tsk tsk tsk.
April 13th, 2006 at 4:04 pm
Cheers Postman
Fixtrot Oscar for me in forty minutes!

Do you think anything will be accomplished?
Cats must stop losing
Tony they can’t win if your mind control specialist consistently affect them while they’re onfield to lose.
April 13th, 2006 at 4:05 pm
And the I and O being so close together on a QWERTY keyboard is also the Spears and Tony’s fault.
I meant Foxtrot.

Next we will be accused of low gate attendance and why the CATS suite owners do not open their suites on match day.

The Sharks supporters club would like to know why you caused the media spin to make us all believe we would end last in the S14.
Thus resulting in many pre-season sleepless nights for us.
Also going on to force Dick to make some radical selections to prevent this relegation and cause us to win some games. This inturn causing many hangovers and Sunday morning blues.
Expect a letter from our lawyers
April 13th, 2006 at 4:09 pm
Tony
But Cats jerseys are a source of shame so fans here want to wear something red and white that doesn’t remind them of the Cats!
ps. I knew you had something to do with messing up Andy’s gate attendance figure estimations!!!!
Pre Tournament he reckoned he could get 35000 per match in.
Highest so far is about 18000..
Average is 16000

Of all the coaches only Dick Muir has a sense of humour and was the only one to court Peter de Villiers in a sincere fashion in January.
Brian van Zyl is a worthy adversary

Andy Turner also has a sense of humour over that 35 000 quote.
He’s quite a wit. Well, half one anyway.

It sponsored an overseas trip for some oke…

This is enormously draining on neutralising the negative spin put out as the positive energy should be invested into the sponsor solicitation and glad handing with our support and fan base.
The EP Herald, Die Burger in the East Cape and Daily Despatch in East London, as well as our media partner AlgoaFM, have been absolute stalwarts in seeing this thinly veiled attempt to discredit the Spears with some trumped up diversionary guerilla tactic slapped together without thought or accuracy by a splinter group within SA Rugby that quite frankly do now work and I mean NO WORK.

Sheltered employment at its best

KZN have always been the “outcasts” of SA Rugby.
I believe it is because of us not being part of the “broeder bond”
I also believe that is why we have done so well, we have had to fend for ourselves.
April 13th, 2006 at 4:27 pm
Tony, those numbers may be wrong but they are certainly not security. You try find a proper security oke on your way back to your car in Doornfontein on a chilly Saturday evening.
April 13th, 2006 at 4:28 pm
Aussie U19 player, Brett Stapelton, is the fastest rugby player, of any age, over 40m.

And the other 30% would be the sellers and cleaners.
the remaining 15% would be administrators, family hangers on, player friends getting free tickets and players.
That leaves 5% of that number being the fans who dare the streets of Doornfontein to watch the most pathetic team ever to leave Gauteng.

Gentlemen and KSA Sharkette
Thanks for your sharp wit, humour and terrifying insight into the darker recesses of South African Rugby.
Terrifying, as nothing is more scary than a rugby fundamentalist and a South African one at that!
We have directed many people to your site here and request that if you have any comments that you want posted on the http://www.thespears.co.za site is to direct them to info@thespears.co.za
There is a Huge Splash Festival on in PE this weekend and the Spears and AlgoaFM are running the touch rugby tournament for lighties, schools and clubs.
Thanks for your literary support and constructive criticism, sometimes it is like trying to take a drink from a firehose with all the volume of information that needs to be disseminated, processed, neutralised, jumped on and burned, which detracts from what should happen and that is engaging rugby lovers and match making sponsors with rugby projects, promotions, players, teams and our SpearLeaders.
Their new outfits for the 2006 SpearLeader Swimsuit Calendar and Swimsuit edition, shot in the Maldives & Sri Lanka will be available soon.
April 13th, 2006 at 4:41 pm
Who is the Host??

April 13th, 2006 at 4:41 pm

And thanks a lot for taking the time to visit.

Shot in the Maldives & Sri Lanka. What did that cost ZAR1,6mil.
April 13th, 2006 at 4:44 pm
Thanks for the kind words Tony.
Always a pleasure chatting to you.
Thanks for being a shining example of accessibility for our other rugby ‘leaders’.
Can Ruggaworld have a free calendar to advertise and maybe interview the Spearleaders.
Maybe you could fly me down to PE to do the interviews!

ISC are thrilled! Which is good sign from a sponsor when the parent body is busy trying to hold your head under water.

If I can promise that I can get the calender through customs then you have to promise to give me one

I’m aiming higher than just the calendar!
I’ll pop into a few stores this weekend and see if I can lay my hands on some kit.
Tony through whom are you distributing?

Tony, it’s cause Dick is a Queenian
DavidS, I have hung up my Super XIV supporter persona (whispers that he is a stormer … ssshhhhush, don’t tell anyone) for 2006 – can’t take it any more, am giving a hearty shout out for the Cheetahs (cause they have guts & Rassie’s a chom) & campaigning for the Spears ….. cause we need some drastic change to the status quo & they where made a commitment

No Kandas
You have ADMIN
I’ll be alone.
It’s better that way…

Tony,
Excellent news, just hope that it will be available on the internet and they do international shipping. Otherwise I will organise the folks to bring it over, they are coming out next month.
thanks for your time and keep up the good work.

That’s why I’m heading out this weekend to see if I can lay my hands on a Spears fan kit!
ps. You’re hanging your kit up because you guys are fresh faced kids at this disappointment.
We here in Jozi are grizzled veterans. That’s why we’re so cynical!
My idea of a change at the Cats would be having an example set with a public execution by Nigerian firing squad in Beyers Naude Park on a Saturday morning of Andy and Frans.

Then I’ll just tell your wife!

Cheers everyone
Enjoy the long weekend.

WOOOHOOO
GO STORMERS!!!

KSA Shark.
The trip was sponsored by the local tourism authority in the Maldives and Sri Lanka
Now when the other franchises turn over just player budgets of R20m, R18m X 2, R24m and R22m and the Spears total operating annual budget is R12m, you have to ask yourself the question, What the hell is ongoing on with the other 5 franchises.
You want our numbers, we will give them to you.
You want information, we will give it to you.
You want anything else and you are going to bloody well have to fight for it and blood will be spilled.
Oh and the Calendar, the SpearLeaders are doing a National Tour in December to promote their new range of lingerie, swim suits and slim fitting shimmering ball gowns to promote our Monthly banquets in Feb.March.April & May next year

ps. Before I go
And then you’ll die Kandas!
As Postman says
What happens on RW stays on RW!!!!
Fight Club Rules!!!!

Tony you did say that I must go with them on that tour, didn’t you?
Seriously, it shows you what can be done!
Thanks for your time Tony.

Ciao Boys!
Happy Easter & Pesach whoever you are.
Just keep an ice cold one in the one hand the staff of life in the other and some shredded biltong to have a blow out rugby weekend.
April 13th, 2006 at 5:38 pm
Just read Tony’s comments.
He is different from the rest of them. Still ahd to learn a bit about Rugby, but he is certainly way ahead of them on how a CEO should operate.
Best of Luck to him and Spears.
There is a simple formula here to sucess – win games.

Great to see you interacting so generously with the public and I see there are calenders flying about – will you give me one too if I ask nicely…?
April 13th, 2006 at 10:17 pm
That request was directed at Tony …. sorry forgot to mention that!
