He is such an utter cúnt.

spivtastic

What an arse.

Have you got a link that doesn't need me to fill in a survey to read it?

They've taken it from the Times, if that's any help.

Spiv cünt being a cünt.

Have you got a link that isn't behind a paywall?

The first one isn't a paywall.

EDIT: Here if you were too lazy to google search Bruce Craig

Did the siren go before he blew FT?

Thanks, on a bus

Do you watch much nh rugby?

Yes, Bruce, re-playing a game completely unnecessarily is a player welfare issue, so quite why you want to do it is beyond the rest of us. Not sour grapes fuck off out of our sport you cunt.

I hope we bounce back and pummel Bath tomorrow to show the mouthy prick where he can shove his chequebook and entitlement.

He’s stupid......

Arsehole.

How rude.

Trou du cul is however perfectly fine

How you getting on these days?

On a ferry to Dublin at the moment

No sirens in NH rugby
We know how to use a watch

Spivs be spivving.

A siren takes the decision out of the ref's hands and we wouldn't have this problem.
Use a siren fellas.

Who are Tarf playing?

The referee is the sole judge of fact during a match. We don't have this problem.
Someone should tell the bath guy to go and buy a soccer club or something.

Go fûck yourself. The game is over when the ref says it is.

Which also means Craig can go fûck himself as well

Two birds, one stone ....

He should be docking Freddie Burns a week’s wages after acting the spacker rather than whinging about the ref.

Ever watched the clock keep ticking over once the ref has signalled a stop in play? Have you ever seen the clock fail to start once the ref has signalled a resumption in play?

There has ever been just one judge of the time, the ref. Long may that last to keep important aspects of the game away from yet more faceless officials.

and that's why the official in the box, who is listening for the time off commands from the ref, etc, is the time keeper, & will when, time is almost up, they whisper in the refs ear that there are, x minutes to go; times up, etc, etc.

Hear hear. Long may the right to throw bottles at the ref if he gets the timing wrong too. I don't want some faceless official taking that aspect away from the game.

Use a siren. It's fairer and more transparent. The players will know too. Knowing the time affects the decisions of the team. U can't have the ref just say "times up bye" out of the blue.

Bath are not coming out of this looking good. Would they be asking for this if Burns had:
a) kicked the PK just a couple of minutes before time or
b) if Burns had not dropped the ball over the try line, after a fair amount of showboating?

And the ref is the sole arbiter of law and time - not some appointed time keeper, who, for whatever reason, may have missed a time off or time on call. Sirens, whilst having their use, are not the ref.

Unless it’s Italy v Wales when the ref was over ruled after saying there was time for the lineout

To be honest, it’s pretty poor reffing if they call time when there’s still time left.

The ref should have the right to stop and start time. Not to change how fast seconds are.

Garyowen. I won't make it to the game though, I have a lot to do this weekend.

Typical.



Entitled.



Twat.

Do you understand the term "sole arbiter".

Sorry, I am belabouring the point as you obviously don't have any understanding.

Put another way, in simple terms, the TV time was slow. End of.

I am hong kong and I approve of this comment

Well if Bruce Craig wants to agree to replay a game every time the opposition have a spurious complaint then good on him. His new found appreciation for the amateur ethos can only be good for rugby. Maybe he'll stop trying to fudge the game up for narrow self-interest.

I used to really like Bath RFC, but this single powerful incident has ensured I will heartily enjoy every future loss of theirs, of which there will be many. #ScumSpivBathRFC

He should send a letter to Freddie Burns. What a fůck up of a day for him. I was cringing for him.

Glasgow had more reason to complain Sarries only try came from a pass from a player who was in touch.

Latest reports suggest there may well be a replay as Toulouse are also looking for a replay having lodged a complaint that the ref incorrectly called a forward pass and a couple of knock-ons that could have led to tries.
