Re: OFFICIAL EU/UK referendum thread

I thought the Italy France games was very thrilling. To be honest i hoped Italy would win but as in previous years they fluffed their lines at the end. The new French winger certainly looks like a breath of fresh air but in general it was squeaky bum time for Les Blues again. One question - the age ...

Sad to say i have more or less given up the ghost with Toulouse now. The years of mediocrity are beginning to blur.

Watched the Toulouse game on Sky - back to the bad old ways of last season. Lots of penalties, some poor decisions and some out of touch players: Clerc, Dusatoir and sad to say (or predictably) Medard was back to the lows of the previous seasons. His contract is up for renewal at the end of this sea...

The assessment of his season is one good game when he broke the line twice. The rest was just awful for a player of that class. A ghost in defense and a below-average player. Didn't deserve his salary. He won't be missed really. I agree with you. And I'd throw Medard in as equally culpable. So, in ...

Some serious soul searching for some. On this performance, and to be fair the last 18 months, Medard should seriously question what he is doing. Don't think there will be any let-off from Noves this time. His days must be numbered. He is afraid, when you watch him, he is definitely afraid, maybe his...
