[QUOTE="Sparty, post: 337306, member: 43218"] There is evidence ! How can you say that yellow cards arent meant to be given out at a constant ratio to penalties when 2 of our yellow cards were for professional fouls ? Thats the point I think. Here is how I read it , the Boks were carded and in this case I am referring to Bakkies and BJ smit due to professional fouls ie killing the ball in the red Zone. On the other hand the ABS we penalized but not carded. Bakkies was carded for a professional foul in the first few mins of the game and as a first offense ie no team warning however the ABS were on something like 3-4 team warnings with Mccaww coping at least half of that. Look , dont get me wrong Bakkies the idiot deserved to be red carded and maybe the ref saw it on the big screen and thought oops I made a mistake , but 2 wrongs dont make a right and the ref was not consistent. The evidence is all over the net with former Wallabie coach also highlighting the transgressions , we had it on SA telly a few weeks ago and quiet frankly its boring arguing about something so blantantly wrong so we will agree to disagree. The thing is times will change and karma is a b**** and the Abs will be blown off the park and you wont get away with killing the ball , slowing it down etc etc. What will then happen ? Seriously I can handle losing , fact is the ABS are my second favorite team in the world and I love watching them cos they play awesome rugby.In my family and friends 90% support the ABS and I too have supported them since the age of 8 I think when I saw the haka for the first time so I dont mind losing when it fair , however its has not been entirely fair and that I cannot handle , still the ABS have certainly stepped up and closed the gap that existed last year and this year in the Super14 but the Gap is not as big as you think. Lastly , I am offended dare you even think we won last year without playing , make no mistake this is a great Bok team and have achieved what the ABS are still to achieve. Remmeber we have some vital players injured as well , take away Mccaw and Carter from the ABs and what do you have ? We missing FDP and Broussow plus Steyn is self exiled and Juan Smit is only just returning. The jury is out , we shall see what transgresses this w\end. [/QUOTE]
