My last comment you'll all be glad to know.
For clarity.
Boudebza is called a coward and a French c+nt. See thread title. People on here then wish him crippled for two years.
This I find unpleasant. I'm not the only one thankfully.

I try and point out that the French despite 'Banter' and popular myth are indeed not a cowardly nation (none are) and use Hull´s experience in the wars as an example to compare against theirs (a reference that there maybe some common knowledge of on here).
Cue moral outrage on a level way above the criticism of the other vile comments and ignorance some have shown.

I then respond to these outbursts having the hope that some don't see my point because of who I support and I hope to stop further xenophobic outpouring on this thread.

The issue of Mr. Boudebza's height.

The act of diving.....cheating yes on occasion, sometimes done to avoid dangerous contact yes, deceitful yes on occasion, cowardly no.

There are despicable acts on a rugby field...see Chris Burton, Ben Westwood, Ben Flower (cowardly and sadistic punching an unconscious man) etc etc. The coaching and condoning of pressure on joints which endanger fellow players. I don't see Briscoe or Hunte jumping to address these issues yet someone diving does. Weird.
I used his height as an obvious 'measure' for his personal questionable courage.

All combat sports and many others have weight categories. Why because weight and height brings huge advantages (ask Conner McGregor). Seeing Boudebza tackle very effectively the likes of Pritchard etc leads me to think he is a brave man.

I was saddened by our defeat but not as much by some of the comments on here.

I'll let the comments that follow speak for themselves.

MY response ,you can waffle all you like burton, Hes a CHEAT

Byeeeee

Missing you already

Shocking from Boudebza. I would give him a 1 match ban as the RFL need to nip this sort of antic in the bud. Football attitudes are creeping into our game unfortunately. (Bateman throwing a tantrum against Widnes , Sneyd haranguing the linesman also v Widnes) Don't need it.

Exactly we don't want diving creeping Into this game, we will leave that to footballers. The only way to stop players doing it is to ban them.

Oh get a grip you silly man.

What's xenophobic about calling a Frenchman ermm, French? The cheese eating surrender monkey thing was a dig at him 'surrendering' to the temptation to cheat and fall over rather than stand up to the tackle. It's banter, no worse than calling northerners 'flat capped pipe smokers' or Aussies calling us Pommies.

The stupid post wishing him injury was revolting and soon jumped on, rightly, but the rest of it is you making a mountain out of a molehill with the soil you're digging out of that hole you've made for yourself.

There was no need to start drawing comparisons with war - there are no moral winners in war, merely enforced bravery and suffering on all sides. Your analogy was embarrassing and your reaction suggests you're the sort of person who would run to fetch a sledgehammer when a picture falls off the wall.

I work for a French company and the lads over there know me as "le rost boeuf". I could tell them I think that they're xenophobic but instead I just have a laugh and banter with them as I wouldn't want to look like a prick. It would be false outrage anyway a bit like our loser from the east.

la grenouille sautant

Pryce took a ridiculous dive (albeit not as cringy as boudebzas yesterday) but a dive all the same a couple of weeks ago. Sky commented on it but no one on here screamed for a ban that time.

I agree by the way no place for it in the game.

The only surprising thing is that people are surprised a little french man tried to cheat

please mods ban boring burtons forearm

Ive seen better threads closed

When I was out playing in France I once had to pose for a photo in a local French rag holding a giant Yorkshire pudding.
Have never been totally sure if that was racist, xenophobic or they thought I was a poor rugby player.

The only person who could categorically say that was a dive is Pryce himself and I was pretty disgusted with the sky commentary at the time.

Jake Webster ran straight into him and Pryce was looking the other way before moving across and colliding with Webster.

How they expected him to stay on his feet is beyond me and I'd like to see them try as Webster is not exactly small and had momentum on his side.

Your black and white glasses blind you.

Quoting a xenophobic and sometimes racist poet exposes you.

The continued justification for the xenophobic pitiful and unfunny trash on this thread should have had it deleted at birth.

How's about a thread titled....... 'Frank Pritchard lazy Samoan ####'77 tackles all season. Pathetic.

I'll start that tomorrow.

The response on here will be fascinating.

He did dive though

Yes he did.

Did you get to keep the Yorkshire Pudding??

Was it Ben cockayne?

Not on here you won't.

You could but then you'd come across as stupid.
77 tackles and 6 misses means he's only had to attempt 83. When defending slightly out wider you can only tackle what comes your way.
Made on 11 in opening 2 games. Which suggests he's been avoided. Again an asset to us as a team. Only reason it's got up to 77 is last few weeks been defending an extra man or 2 in.

He made a meal of it, granted to a lesser extent than Boudebza, but it's happening a lot lately especially to milk an obstruction. It does need stamping out, probably not quite as much as this thread which has got passed the ridiculous

Another good post from The Darkside


I might change the habit of a lifetime and grow to like some of them. Naaaaaahh


It does need locking though, before foreskin returns.

Big thanks goes to the big nosed roman #### Pontius Pilate for giving us the chance to come back from the dead in both games to claim 4 point this easter !!.
