Crusaders just had 7 years of calls go for them. What they've experienced in recent weeks is the same as what every other team experiences year in year out. When you're winning the calls go for you and when you're losing they go against you. This. :thumbup: Is this season helping much with the butt...

Must be pretty crushing to be a young person in America today.. you want to stand up for the tens of thousands of women and children who've been killed by Israel using bombs given to them by America in the only way available to you, through protest (the vast, vast, vast majority of which was entire...

I asked it before, but how the hell the the world's richest and most powerful nation end up with 2 such terrible candidates going head to head? Again!

One of the protest camps was such blockage to students attending class that after police moved in and cleared it out the university put up barriers to prevent protesters from moving back in. Turns out it wasn't actually preventing anyone from attending classes. Trespassing some of the teachers who h...

I watched an interview with some American settlers a few weeks ago who were saying they need Trump in now. They were upset that the IDF was forced to take any risk at all by sending in their guys rather than just completely levelling everything.

This is like reading one of those stories set in an alternative reality where the Nazi's won world war 2, or the the soviets the cold war. Although less amusing and obviously written by the lowest bidder.

I'm no ref. Ultimately just an innocuous keyboard jockey with an agenda to tarnish the Crusaders reputation.

Edit. @PP Careful now, Bimbo might charge you with copyright infringement for the the "no you are!". I believe he obtained the rights to it from Mick when he left. But as you point out. No one seems to be able to agree if it's actually legal or not. Although they all want it to be illegal and are ju...

.Only a split second in it and although slightly strange, probably doesn't deserve the controversy that has been generated by it. But will become another part of the mythology of refs always favoring the Crusaders. Hopefully the Crusaders sneak into the playoffs at 8 solely on the back on that bonu...

Well, They both join right as the video hits 5:09, with tackled player about 3 meters out and his support people behind them. it takes about 1.5 seconds for play to move almost to the line where the ref then says "tackle release now". Finishing that sentence just as the video clicks over to 5:11. At...

Yeah, any criticism of Israel is just anti-Semitism. But none of the genuine anti-Semitism has been generated by Israel or it's actions...

The Crusaders player is tackled 2 metres before the line. He is being held in the air but his knee is on the ground. All the players are stationary. The ref calls tackle release. Then George Bower joins the players and drives Springer over the line and then goes off his feet taking out Highlanders ...

Nice story. Full of holes and even if it was all true it still doesn't change the fact that Ukraine is a sovereign nation, Russia has no right what so ever to invade Ukraine, and Russia are the aggressor in that conflict. But this thread is supposed to be about the war in Gaza, so maybe take you Rus...

I'll be honest, I turned the game off before we scored our consolation try. Gotta be one of the worst feelings scoring a try after 80 knowing you've already lost. Sometimes I wonder if American sports have it right with Garbage Time once the game's clearly done. Anyway, what was the controversy, if...

Edit. @ Booji Is that because you're actually more one-eyed than the most rampant Crusaders fan? The not giving a rats arse? WTF? All I want to know is your view on the three defenders being forced to release the attacking player so that he can flop over the line for an unopposed try. This is not a...

Booji, you're sounding more like a pommy rugby supporter every day. "Rugby is all they've got". All you need now is the handkerchief on the head.

Entertaining game. Much closer than I thought it would be. My friend who is a highlanders supporter was very nervous. I on the other hand was quite enjoying the lack of expectation. As to the reasons for the demise, I suspect it's a combination of many things including plain old dumb luck at times....

There's ethnic cleansing ongoing in Darfur. Will there be any protests about that i wonder? Is anyone advocating for their governments to support it, supply weapons to enable it, and normalise relations with those involved? All while trying to justify it and accusing anyone not supporting it of bei...

Leaving aside arguments whether those situations are really the same, even if it was an example of hypocrisy it still wouldn't make what Russia is doing in the Ukraine right, or mean they somehow weren't the aggressor. I don't remember if anyone imposed sanctions on the US over Iraq, but I sure Rus...

If such a hypothetical situation ever happened between Canada and the US, and the US invaded Canada and annexed part of it, they would be the aggressor and in the wrong. It would in no way absolve Russia of their actions in Ukraine.

I always wondered what Treebeard got up to after the films ended.

I'll be in a pub watching the game and cheering on the team. But I don't have high hopes.

How ridiculous is it that there's still a faint chance we could make the play off's?

It’s hard to think of any President that would have opposed Israeli action from the start. Biden is hardly unique. Trump certainly wouldn’t be ruminating about Rafah, he’d be all in . Trump would be spending his efforts in Saudi Arabia and sending cruise missiles into Iran. He’s for a 2 state solut...

What I don't get is that if these people didn't buy the homes, they would be renting them - so it didn't change the equation at all really. The big problem is demand and you could say that the government's actions actually reduced that from what it could have been. I still believe the biggest cause...

Gaza wasn’t occupied . Your narrative fails this basic test. Ah the Bimbo test. Also failed by most of the world's legal experts and institutions. And argued mostly on technical semantics by those who do pass the Bimbo test. And even they mostly still acknowledge even if grudgingly, Israeli control...

If they put down their guns, release their hostages and abandon their missiles, the war will be over immediately.

Hamas probably want completely unreasonable things though, like an actual end to the war. And some guarantees that Israel won't just round up another 7 people for every Palestinian prisoner they release. And have probably turned down completely reasonable requests such as all standing out in an ope...
