Should be a good game, there's some good players for the Pakistani's.

There was a good preview on Boots 'n All, I would be very interested in the outcome.

They'll take over our sport like they have taken over everything else, mark my words.

When they do the Odsal Village will get built ASAP, just wait and see.

And they'll grit the roads around Odsal in winter.

And open a shop on all 4 corners of the pitch..hehehe..met some of them...good lads and very enthusiastic about the game..Good luck on Sunday to them..

Good lads? How was their English?

They're all Aussies. Wasn't that obvious?

More than likely.

I wish we could tap into the asian populus, there must be a lot of talent not being utilised but its encouraging it thats the thing, is enough being done. Probably not.

I hope we hammer the Paki's

How did they get on?

Lost 46-0.


The team were sat in the box next to me in the Coral Stand. They certainly seemed like RL fans as they got to the box part way through the first half and most seemed to be watching and enjoying the game and knew a bit about the Bulls. Not just a case of some lads who didn't really know anything about it all as I heard a few suggest beforehand.

Make a good 'British Pakistani' side then.

I was assuming there was some irony there I was missing.

Ricky Wilby





I'm not laughing at the obvious non-Pakistani name. Just the last time I saw Ricky he was gamely parading round Headingly IIRC in the Catalans cockerel outfit sweating his not insubstantail butt off.

Surely you mean Drago?

Is that what it was? He looked tres uncomfortable in it. I would like to see Ricky emulate Thomas Bosc's double chip over from yesterday while still wearing the Dragon/Chicken costume.

British Pakistan - get used to this name my friends as it will not be too long before that is what this impure land is called.

When the glorious revolution takes place injustices like the one which took place on Sunday will no longer happen - watching the game I was imploring my brothers to utilise the bomb, in the end I was arrested by the police and held for 24 hours for no reason, we will not stand for this any longer.

I heard they had to have the army there on Sunday due to the number of shady looking characters.

I didn't know you were the Alias type.

Is it just me who is not finding this amusing anymore?

was it amusing in the first place?

No, not really.
