Another Drive4show 'Anything goes' thread

by oldshanker Sun 03 Feb 2013, 8:56 am

First topic message reminder :

I agree Digs - what I was commenting on was not their lack of invention, but their lack of cohesion. They did not get the basics right, the least a back has to do is commit his opposite number, which becomes more important against the 'drift' defence, and then follow up and support. This was not happening yesterday, apart from Chris ashton on occasions.

I have not seen Goode play in his club matches, but on a number of occasions, he caught the ball deep, began to run, hesitated and then was caught without any support. I can't remember ever seeing Ben Foden caught like that. It is yet another sign of a lack of cohesion in the backs.

Of course, this probably is all due to the fact they are a relatively new squad and should come together the more they play together. But on the face of it, I think yesterday was a fair showing against a team that in my opinion is still there to be taken and will possibly only get one win in this series.

Yes, George Osborne.

by **navyblueshorts** Fri 15 Mar 2013, 10:58 pm

He's not really annoying in anything like the same way for me. Thick as two short planks, yes, but not as annoying as Davina!

by barragan Fri 15 Mar 2013, 11:05 pm

Claudia winkelman ( similar vane to davina) ...subjected to radio 2 most days at work.
Come to think of it Ken Bruce, Jeremy Vine and Steve Wright are pretty damn annoying too. The radio 2 presenters jingles really really annoy me.

by mystiroakey Sat 16 Mar 2013, 6:07 am

Davina is annoying on telly yep. In real life an all. However she is actually a pretty decent person.. Cant say much more than that really,she was my neighbour and done some pretty decent stuff for my family.

by super_realist Sat 16 Mar 2013, 6:24 am

I reserve special hatred for davina mccall

by mystiroakey Sat 16 Mar 2013, 6:25 am

yeah well you dont know her!

She is one person that I do. Therefore I could. But i certainly dont

by mystiroakey Sat 16 Mar 2013, 6:36 am

anyone watching Qualifying.

Lewis has just spun it.

The rain is hammering down! (In Australia!!!)

by super_realist Sat 16 Mar 2013, 6:44 am

Mysti, why would you be a nice person in reality but a complete bell end on tv? Thats a good reason to dislike the shouting permanently up the duff annoying woman for a start.

by mystiroakey Sat 16 Mar 2013, 6:50 am

SR ,I know her(not well but we are on first name terms. My mum and sister know here better). I could tell you stories that would make you hate her even more.. But at the same time she is a nice person, She has done my family favours, which she didnt have to do.

Everyone has faults and pluses.

I never Hate people I dont know. I think thats a bit nuts to be honest.

by super_realist Sat 16 Mar 2013, 6:56 am

Half the fun of a forum . Be a bit boring if we just went on about how nice people were wouldnt it.

Youll be telling me that Lorraine kelly is nice soon. GRRRRR. Shes the celebrity I dislike the most

by mystiroakey Sat 16 Mar 2013, 6:57 am

Sorry I meant hate. Not have a pop at!!

Having a pop is fair game!

by mystiroakey Sat 16 Mar 2013, 7:00 am

I dont know loraine kelly SR.

Just backing up someone I know of. Thats all..

by super_realist Sat 16 Mar 2013, 7:07 am

Well I may not know davina but her tv persona is ghastly.

by mystiroakey Sat 16 Mar 2013, 7:09 am

Its seriously annoying i admit. Its cringing.. In real life it is similar.

But that isnt a reason hate 'her'

by super_realist Sat 16 Mar 2013, 7:15 am

I dont mean hate in a nazi v jew kind of way. More just a generic term which encompasses all the thjngs I dislike about her and most other celebrities.

by mystiroakey Sat 16 Mar 2013, 7:16 am

Aye. No worries i know that really..

But your comment was 'i reserve special hatred for davina!!'

Wink

I was watching mysti, some really very terrible conditions. No just the rain but also the wind. Lewis did well to set a top ten time after damaging his rear wing in that spin.

The fact the red bull lost its advantage in the wet would suggest much of that advantage came from how it was using the tyre.

by mystiroakey Sat 16 Mar 2013, 11:11 am

yeah shame . Qualifying will be early tommorow!

that will be middle of the night!

by dynamark Sat 16 Mar 2013, 2:27 pm

Rugby time .Unfortunately I have a feeling the pitch in wales will as usual be hopeless and that will set the tone for the game,slow,problems with the scrum,penalties and the referees opinion.No coincidence wales have been winning away from home.Millenium stadium is excellent but the pitch is a shocker.Should be good viewing though

by mystiroakey Sat 16 Mar 2013, 2:28 pm

The roof is on, so fingers crossed we will get some decentish rugby

I am actually going out to watch it!

shock horror- first time i been out since new year!

by **navyblueshorts** Sat 16 Mar 2013, 6:49 pm

Damn! Now I've got to put up with the Welsh fans and the fact that Mike Philips was playing for Wales. Pathetic from England. TBH, it's been downhill since Scotland.

England:

Marler - what were you even picked for? Big mistake. Nowhere near good enough in the scrum. I knew that was going to happen!
Youngs - average
Cole - average
Launchbury - average
Parling - average
Croft - anonymous
Wood - not an international #8
Robshaw - massive, but outplayed - difficult when it's 2 against 1 though!
Youngs - average
Farrell - average
Barritt - battled but England's best game came when 36 was @ 12
Tuilagi - worst game for some time
Brown - decent
Goode - defense is about all you've got isn't it? Not good enough
Ashton - nowhere near good enough. Back to your club and let's have a winger please?

Annoyed? Not half!

Oh and Steve Walsh - I feared as much. Not a clue in the scrums.

Ah dude, you gettin old or what?

Just been watching the match, England were lacking a lot in the scr(ot)um.

by princedracula Sat 16 Mar 2013, 7:19 pm

England were not great today, as for Ireland, probably one of their worst campaigns in recent times...

Fair play to Wales for winning the whole thing, but has to be said, this was one of the most uninspiring 6-nations I've seen in years...

by princedracula Sat 16 Mar 2013, 9:45 pm

Some refreshing attitude and body language for a pope there...
Like that bit round the midle of the clip where he gives the

to one of those fellas...

I see Ken Barlow has done a Glenn Hoddle.

These religious maniacs are stark raving mental.

by McLaren Tue 19 Mar 2013, 10:22 pm

Who Is Ken Barlow and what did he say?

Wow he is some fruit loop.

He's an actor who said that he thought children were abused because of what they did in a "previous life".

If there weren't so many of them, we could put all bible thumpers in mental institutions.

Super, He did not get that from the bible as none of the Abrahamic religions believe in reincarnation. So no matter how much of an issue we have with the bible we cant blame it for that nut job comment. Although clearly it is a religious notion of some sort, i am just not sure which religion.

by super_realist Wed 20 Mar 2013, 8:11 am

By "bible thumper" Mac, I was encompassing all religious belief and doctrine.

by mystiroakey Wed 20 Mar 2013, 8:49 am

You are talking about Ken barlow off Corrie right.

That kevin loon just got charged with peodo stuff. Maybe Ken is trying to excuse his mate's behaviour. Which suggests this is some sicko justification. Like he is gods soldier- he is forced into abusing kids.. Its all part of the plan...

by mystiroakey Wed 20 Mar 2013, 8:52 am

By the way Mac. I think its probally the old testement but I do remember the story about If someone mortally sins, there 3 sons will be punished..
Although This is about reincarnation therefore its some kind of hindu thing i suppose.

by super_realist Wed 20 Mar 2013, 8:55 am

Whatever it is Oakey, it's a wacky belief.

by mystiroakey Wed 20 Mar 2013, 8:59 am

True SR.

One Wisdom I have gained through my life is that 'sinners' are actually more likely to become religious later on in life as a way to excuse there bad behaviour.

They can put it down to gods will. or fate or whatever.

by super_realist Wed 20 Mar 2013, 9:01 am

Religion tries to excuse morality by saying it doesn't matter what you do as long as you repent in the end. Disgraceful moral values of religion.

At least I can now blame the actions of a mac in another life for me fancying emma watson a little earlier than might be considered proper.
