[QUOTE="Leonormous Boozer, post: 1024265, member: 45598"] I genuinely will never understand trying to rub a big victory in or having a go at the losers. Legitimately angry responses to something that you should enjoy is bizarre. It seems to be most common among Welsh and Scots or at least louder. There's definitely Irish who do it but for the most part, win or lose, we don't care about the other team and usually lose the run of ourselves thinking we're the best thing since sliced bread or being outrageously pessimistic because we didn't beat NZ or whoever in style. Saying that Smellis Genge is a stain but a far more appropriate response would be to laugh at him in a way that he's not going to see it unless he goes looking. Don't attack the bitter, smelly man on his social media accounts. I'm a little bit less sympathetic for Sonja, I'm sure the threats/tweets are worse than she said but I do think her questions were toxic, appalling etc... not fair on the players/coaches and not entertaining. If you told her as much in a civil manner, which again I doubt the ones she was complaining about were, a journo who's active and engages people on twitter has to be able to cop such criticism.
