Gruff 2,790 Report post Posted November 21, 2017 Trouble with supporters during successful World Cup campaign to date.....what happens Saturday Lebanon looked the better side last time England should be to much for them Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gruff 2,790 Report post Posted November 22, 2017 ....will be interesting to see how the refs handle this game, I wouldn't be at all surprised to see the 'rub of the green' going Tongas way again after Lebanon were robbed of a certain victory, expecting 14 points plus to be the English margin so the refs will need to pull a rabbit out of their hats without making it look blatantly obvious...England will need to be squeaky clean here to eliminate the judicial influence. Interesting game in many ways Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beautifully played,England had to give the 2nd tier fans something to feel proud of(as far as the semis concerned) without it all hell would of broken loose. Quite laughable they are protesting the ref down queen st ,they gave them the win against Lebanon with dodgey calls.Best team won and the scoreboard doesn't reflect the obvious pre game dominance.

Gruff 2,790 Report post Posted November 27, 2017 Up to halftime anyone's guess the poms can play half a game, smart money would be conservative around +12.5 nO ?? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gruff 2,790 Report post Posted November 27, 2017 ...Tongans create gridlock over a referees decision there's been calls that make that look like diamonds at a sewer treatment plant. Replay the game I say, and I'd be going 13+ the poms.Crikey dinah Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gruff 2,790 Report post Posted November 29, 2017 The protest must be solely on the fact he didn't go upstairs because it wouldn't of changed anything here because the original decision looked spot on. Near 80 minutes you can't blame Fifita for his loose carry, remember the 2 and 1/2 metre forward pass that put nightingale in when the kiwis beat Australia in a World Cup one year,not a peep.Full marks to the Tongan supporters in this comp , but they need to take off their Rose coloured glasses when reviewing this one Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
