I've registered at npr...so I can continue to howl pointlessly into the ether about the Dragons, and occasionally be amused/irritated/horrified by you bunch of plums. Hopefully see some of you there.

Hwyl fawr...tan y tro nesa.

Perhaps unsurprising but Dragons let Brandon Nansen go. Shame - if the guy had stayed fit he looked useful. We desperately need to sign a couple of locks now. Maksymiw sounds like a squad filler level player, so I'm hoping there is still another lock signing that can be the boost to the front 5 we ...

False hope? You mean there's another kind?

Letting ourselves down? What standards do you think we have?

penguin

If we get Will Rowlands as is being rumoured then I'll be prepared to downgrade the Blues from weapons grade arseholes to just over the counter arseholes.

How much fairer can I be?

If you are Jonah Holmes or Nick Tompkins (assuming that is still going to come off) then this is such a result. You think you're in for a season of challenge cup rugby and instead it's the big boys... Perhaps it will help us sign a lock or two, if there was anyone still wavering over joining us out ...

Well, f*ck....that is some big news. https://www.southwalesargus.co.uk/sport/18525974.dragons-face-europes-best-champions-cup/ That's huge news. A chance to get fúcking obliterated by Europe's best teams rather than by Europe's middling teams. A chance like this comes along only once or twice a lif...

I'm sure Joe will be down in his basement, lovingly polishing his good old foot shooting rifle....but a bit like how Trump's sexist, sexual assaulting, racist arseholery was priced in, with Joe his gaffes are part of what people already know, so any gaffes are unlikely to be derailing. I'm mostly in...

The Benny try is a work of art, no doubt, but I think I have to go with Scott Gibbs' one, just because the entire context of the try, the match situation, Bill McLaren's commentary, the day itself...and then the beauty of the try in of itself, there was something truly iconic about it.

Yeah. Nasty little story...but you wonder how often that sort of thing is repeated up and down the country. 'Banter' covers a multitude of odious behaviours and attitudes.

penguin

yes, not all white people are born privileged and some white people like every group are born into shit situations - I think you're missing the point - the white privilege refers to the fact that you, simply by being white, are a lot less likely to be stopped by the cops, murdered by the cops, disc...

What are the odds that these protests will see Trump turfed out of office? If the election was a year or two away I think he'd have plenty of time to recover. But then I look at Biden and think Trump could still probably take him. Always dangerous to look too far ahead - there's no doubt he's taken...

So I read that link of yours Fonzee, thanks for posting it. It goes some way to explaining the legal framework that allows hate groups to exist but it in no way excuses the presence of those hate groups. If I'm reading our discussion correctly, what you are saying is that America is not racist beca...

This spanking you talk about, were you watching someone literally being spanked because if so I think we've found your problem. You've switched over to your Westminster themed S&M channel again.

Are Ospreys loaded again then? Did you not hear about their news? Hong Kong-based Y11 Sports & Media buys 75.1% stake in Ospreys. (Reuters) - Hong Kong-based sports marketing group Y11 Sports & Media has acquired a 75.1% stake in Welsh team Ospreys in a multi-million pound deal, the regional rugby ...

penguin

Well indeed. That was my hope. The deafening silence however suggests that it's more likely the Ospreys will be rolling out the 'untapped potential' of some fatty they've had no option to play because of injuries from Aberavon. To be fair they only announced the deal recently and you'd imagine they...

We are actually broke, the dragons have more funding than us and have for the last season We need Covid to do a number on the members of CAC, speed up the inevitable Fair play to the Blues. Broke and signed Amos and Hill, while trying to bring on Watkins too. Bullshit Blues more like. Always find a...

It does seem all rather bizarre the Antifa hysteria.

Suggestion that Dean Ryan wants to play Jonah Holmes in the centre as well as in the back 3. Could be a good move for Holmes, looking ahead to the next world cup. The ability to play 3 positions could be a good way to push himself ahead of the chasing pack. I'd be quite interested to see what a back...

Cummings didn't break any rules though. FFS. Even if he did, what difference did it make to anyone except the curtaintwitchers and the media Gestapo?

It was a f**king pigeon, they had no proof that he had killed it, and anyone would have done the same, and they were surrounded by hundreds of thousands of human casualties.

It was such a fantastical tale, I don’t understand how Anon missed it. It’s the source of nationwide ridicule and mirth. The whipped cream on the top of a bullshit trifle (the cherry being that retrospective and covert blog editing). He should make a 30 quid donation to the NHS and be done with it....

In among the Ospreys departures I notice Will Jones has gone...I thought he was supposed to be one to watch out for? I know he's been injured but I'd have thought he was worth persevering with...at least a little longer.
