A bit of fun surely?  He couldn't take a bit of crowd trickery and tom-foolery? How can booing be "BAD" and "unsporting", mate?

The Welsh are always complaining about other fans being loud, and jeering and interrupting the kickers and all... but they're no saints themselves, just look at last week's game between the poor Leinster lads and the jeering Dragons!

 

You get what I'm doing here?  I'm sending a Paraphrase ball that's usually thrown at us back at you across the net with topspin on it

Undoubtedly, I'll get the ball back now with slice..... this legendary tennis set is still being played and we're all out of bananas: "You did it to us and then you say we did it to youz, coz you did it to us, when we did it to youz. - So there!"

Rugby is a working class game in Wales - obviously we are too vulgar for you West Brits  

Ah but who served, Fly? Can anyone remember?

Someone should move that skeleton from the umpire's chair.

Not every working class guy needs a cage to go to work in, Munkian!... Some of them are right decent folk, with families and things....

I have things

Who served?  Hmmmmm........................ How the hell should I know?  I haven't watched tennis since the good old days when McEnroe used to break his rackets across Umpire's heads.  Now thems the old days...when gentlemen were gentlemen.

Good man. Now get a family and you're well on the way to becoming a West Brit.

My Mrs is totes from Dublin, roish

You lucky man, I'm from Dublin and even I couldn't find a Dublin lass...

...Don't tell my bird.

Dim problem

Oh yeah, going after the officials as usual (wait, what side am I meant to be on here?)
 

I don't shout the cheat thing, but things get pretty bad for that to be shouted. I guess shouting incompetent is too many syllables.

I will however admit to encouraging a touch judge to get involved in a game and not to be so passive. To be fair a lot of what goes on could be picked up if a touch judge didn't just watch the game as a mere spectator.

I couldn't find an Irish girl who wanted to roide me. That's why I voted yes to the Lisbon treaty.

They could sing 'you're so incompetent' to the opera tune they use for 'Jose Mourinho' (or 'sit down Mourinho', or worse).
