This is bullshit. The government just want black people to represent South Africa. If they wanted the whole country to feel like it's their team, they would impose quotas to bafana-bafana too. I don't think Indian or White people feel this team represent them. If the team selection process is merit...

2. More parties :thumbup: That's what needs to happen because a choice between the Democrats and Republicans is no choice at all. Truthfully I wouldn't care if the Democrats and Republicans handpicked their candidates so long as I had additional choices in the general election. You nominate Hillary...

No standouts as such but our number 8 was on the books of Crystal Palace, was released and got a scholarship to play soccer at the University of Central Florida. He is now an instructor there and since reading this thread I just looked over his rate my professor page, the comments, "He is so hot and...

Seems Kasich and Cruz are teaming up. I don't know what their tactics will be but Donald's not happy. They are co-ordinating their campaigns, Cruz will campaign in Indiana and Kasich in New Mexico and Oregon. Because of me, everyone now sees that the Republican primary system is totally rigged. Whe...

Yes they did, as I recall he had only recently returned from a major surgery and £50 million was way more than market value. It was a good bit of business by them.

Is this a call out thread? If you flame someone anyway, we'll give you a vacation from posting for a couple of days so that you can collect yourself. "Call-out" threads will earn you similar treatment. If the offence is bad enough, we’ll take serious action. As per forum rules call out threads are p...

If Bernie doesn't make any inroads on Tuesday do you think he should concede? If it's business as usual in the voter behavior he's effectively out by pretty much any method of delegate juggling... I hope that he is still in the game by the time I have a chance to vote for him but if he concedes bef...

So far this year, the number of people shot here far exceeds those two cities combined. Through April 10, New York — a city more than three times the size of Chicago — had seen 246 people shot, while in LA —with over a million more people than Chicago — 328 people had been shot through April 16, bo...

We should have a thread every time there is a shooting in Chicago. It seems appropriate not to ignore the victims of those crimes. A shooting or a death? http://heyjackass.com/ So far this year 175 killed out of 1027 shot. I'm no expert, but 17% is pretty high is it not? I thought the killed:shot r...

Yeah, not that I had ever given it any consideration until yesterday but given how long he's been around I figured he was well into his 60's.

I don't know what is more offensive. That you read nonsense from Bernie bots like Winkles and think that is fine and coherent or that my pro Hillary points are rambling.

Int he south, POC were poor informed and voters were conservative plus lack of media. In NY it is voter suppression. Purging of rolls is voter suppression.

The flippant and triumphalist response of Clinton Democrats to the purging of voters from the rolls in Brooklyn is yet another example of how their values are not congruent with those of progressives. Voter suppression and disenfranchisement are undemocratic and are supposedly issues that the Democr...

Agree with Anon, 5 points is a decent cushion with 4 games to go. To win the league I think Spurs would have to win all 4 of their last games and they only took 5/12 points from these games earlier in the season. not splitting hairs, but its only 4 points, due to goal difference Erm, splitting hair...

Apropos of nothing, only four different players have started a RWC knockout game for England at flyhalf.

1987, Peter Williams (1)
1991, 1995, Rob Andrew (5)
1999, 2003, 2007 & 2011, Jonny Wilkinson (8)
1999, Paul Grayson (1)

It's a working strategy that hamstrings the progressive wing of the Democrat party. A Hillary Clinton Presidency is in my mind a manifestation of the effectiveness of Republican obstructionism. "A centrist who can get things done", is the selling point ie. someone the GOP will find more palatable t...

I'll have a stab at England: ...1995 - Probably on par with the 1999 team. Won a GS but ran into a freight train in Jonah. The ABs would've smashed that team even without Jonah. :thumbdown: Way to take the shine off of Jonah's performance SAM. I was there that day. ABs dominated England everywhere....

Yeah, I got that, it's just that the 2007 RWC was nothing to write home about. There were no great teams in that tournament, it was basically a cripple fight. Well test rugby has rarely been weaker than it was in 2015. England, France and South Africa were diabolical shadow of previous World Cups a...
