  1. That was a tough game to watch. Horrible penalty given against the Caps and no call on the obvious tackle from behinds by Dallas... (although if you watch the replay carefully, the foul occurred just outside the box) Six minutes of TAO???? Am I the only one who was getting sick of watching Camillo trying to dribble through the entire Dallas defense every single time he had possession?
  2. The offensive interference against the Ravens was terrible as well...
  3. Hey Swaggerville? How's that coaching change working out for you?
  4. I didn't watch all of the videos, but the missed offside that cost luck an INT was brutal... ...speaking of brutal, it's awfully tough to be a Bills fan these days. Terrible game by Fitz, a starting receiver gone for the year and an RB gone for a month...
  5. Ricky looked like he was still playing for the Eskies last night...
  6. It's been a bit more like stagger-ville this season.... ...but I'm not going to get too carried away just yet. The Leos showed everyone last season that the CFL is a league where a team can recover from a bad start.
  7. Grew up in PG. Used to take the trip down to Quesnel and Williams Lake to play football every other weekend back in the day....
  8. Tatla Lake? Bella Coola? ....or maybe Carey Price country: Anahim Lake?
  9. It takes you 12 hours to drive from Williams Lake to Vancouver???? I used to make the trip from PG in less than 10.... BTW: Nice win for the Leos. Defense looks very good. Bighill and Muamba look like the real deal.
  10. I was a bit surprised that Rafa wasn't the flag bearer for Spain. It was Pau Gasol....
  11. Hmmm....if falling down was that hard on the body, you wouldn't think thet there'd be so many players doing it on purpose....
  12. Most of the game, I thought the ref made the correct calls. The exception being the obstruction on Mattocks which turned into a foul given against him when he tried too hard to make his way past the defender. However, I thought Forrest had the right of it when he said it was the "safe" call and most refs would have made the same determination on a close to 50/50 call near the box... That still doesn't change the fact that (at least in my book) the penalty call was deserved.
  13. Entertaining game. In my book, YP Lee has once again cemented himself as the unsung hero of the 'Caps' season so far. The through ball to Richards was golden... I'm a bit surprised at all the whining from the 'Quakes about the penalty call. First Wando during the game and now Yallop saying "The ref decided the game" in the press.... ...every look that I have seen of the play suggests that a penalty was the correct call.
  14. Well, he's Scottish..... ...no idea what the pros are though... (Sorry S_C, and Bodee, couldn't resist)
  15. Kind of a disappointing Wimbledon for me. I was hoping for the Scotsman, just to see a Brit finally win for a change; I can't stand either of the Williams sisters, so that was a downer and no Nestor in the doubles late round action...
  16. So long Portugal....you won't be missed. Hopefully, the Italians will be joining you on the sidelines tomorrow.
  17. Except of course all of the teams in the group stage which are ranked in the top 10. Nothing compared to the Italians' monumental task of upsetting the vaunted Republic of Ireland.
  18. Good to see that the Italians are so safety conscious.... ....putting down those mats so no-one gets injured during diving practice...
  19. Funny thing is, I do have a small amount of Scottish in me as well. My dad (89 years old) is from an era where one's middle name is usually an ancestral surname. His middle name is Hamilton.That being said, my mother's maiden name is Thibodeau...
  20. Seeing as the Dutch failed miserably, I suppose I'm on the England bandwagon. (I am of English descent, after all) As I've said many times before, the important thing is that the national diving teams of Italy and Portugal don't win. My money is on Germany and my darkhorse is France.
  21. I'm down with that. With the Dutch pretty much toast, it's all about making sure neither the Italians or Portuguese win. Anyone else would be okay by me...
  22. I blame Sean Connery. Imagine a Scotsman playing an English spy.... ...he must have wanted to kill himself the whole time...
  23. So the Portuguese diving team has done their part....now it's up to the Dutch to bury their chances against the Germans...
  24. Can't believe that I'm actually forced to cheer for Portugal.... Hup Holland!
