@barbarian get your hand off it Barb. Why sooks? Didn't Faf pretty much say "yea, shit was said by both sides"?
Well today the Saffer coach has come out and said De Kock has done 'nothing wrong'.
"We are appealing because we think Quinny didn't do anything. Quinny wasn't aggressive," Gibson said. "You saw some footage and the footage showed Quinny walking up the stairs and somebody else being restrained and then Quinny gets [charged with] a Level 1 [breach]. That doesn't seem fair."So instead of going 'shit happened, lets move on', they are fighting the charge. We now get bogged down into a he said/she said, where the only actual witness was Tim Paine. And he says that de Kock DID say something.
The story drags on for another day or two, we pour over grainy video like it's the Zapruder film, and get a few more days of opinion from all comers. And I can't see how De Kock beats the charge.
Warner carried on like a total cock, for sure. But by whipping all of this stuff up, I just can't see how the Saffers come out ahead.
Coz bias.
We're all biased to think our guys are angels.
And I'm sure de Kock didn't yell and scream at DDD. But I'm sure he asked subtly.
It is the World v Australia and there's reasons for that.
I'll ask one question though Barbs: which tram wanted the stump mics turned off?

Many Aussie cricketers on the whole ( I say Many, not all obviously as they've provided some absolute dead set legends on and off the field ) seem like the kind of dickhead workmate/mate of a mate/family member or whoever that we all have in our lives who love dishing out shit/banter but absolutely CANNOT take it when it's thrown back at them.
I don't remember what guys like Lillee, Boon, Hughes, the Chappells, even Healy used to sledge about. They were pretty damn scary as it was. Maybe I'm paying more attention now but it seems like Haddin, Watson and Dumb dumb are next level scum. I'll never forget Haddin spraying Guptill and Elliott in the CWC final and him saying that our politeness made him nervous/pissed off. Grade A fluffybunnies.
But it was ok to sledge them "because we won didn't we?"
Still not sure how that! justifies it ...

I'm pretty sure she did all the degrading she could manage -- to herself -- well before this thread started.
If calling a spade a spade earns a "knob end" then so be it.

It isn't calling a spade a spade. It is being a fuckwit.

That's the best part of all of this for me.
Mrs Warner's history was a non story in SA, the team might have known about it, but if more five other people in the country knew I'd be surprised.
Once Davey decided to use that as his defence the media had free reign to publicise her history. So well done to the little shit gibbon for defending her honour by publicizing it in a country she currently finds herself in.
And don't take my previous comment to mean I condone people on the street making her visit anything but pleasant, but I'll bet that the TV cameras will focus a bit on her in the upcoming test.

We won. All the bitching is just bitching.
Entirely appropriate for Intentional Women's Day.
Well you all be back to normal tomorrow, when your ovaries stop hurting?
look, as far as i am concerned, what happens on the board stays on the board. and i am going to do, and type anything i can to point out your blatant aussie hypocrisy, and generally make you feel uncomfortable. to do my best posting when I'm being abusive. but i think that bringing up someone's anatomy is crossing the line, and i should stand up to that. especially lady parts, those most of all. but it should be left on the board, and not taken public. or something
you fucking sook
You're just posting good aggressive board.
Play your board aggressive.
But just don't cross the line.

White knight?
Nah I just think calling her a slut from the safety of a keyboard is pathetic. -
Two thoughts.
Sledging about family members is shitty and lacking any kind of wit. They aren't there to defend themselves, or hand out a sharp knee to the balls. I mean fuck, if you have a butt ugly boofhead like Warner, and the best you can do is talk shit about his wife, you'd have to be pretty thick yourself.
Warner was foolish to make it about defending her 'honour'. This is not the 50s. Who fucking cares if she had fun as a single. It's not like cricketers walk around wearing chastity belts before they get married (or after they get married...) so now all he's done is made her past a THING. -

This is the age of the interweb. I'm sure if you try hard enough you won't have to picture it.

Don’t think anyone is defending de Kock we just don’t have any sympathy for Davey.
Sledging used to be clever, witty. There’s plenty of legendary moments over the years of great sledges and even greater come backs.
But what Oz is doing is the complete opposite of that. It’s classless and borders on bullying.
It’s basically just not very funny, certainly not clever.
All Davy will end up with is a legacy of being remembered as that great attacking batsmen who was a bit of a cock. -
@virgil Sorry Virg but that's just plain wrong.
I don't know what golden age of Noel Coward and Bernard Shaw rejoinders you're buying into but it's a myth.
the difference today is things like stump mikes pick up comments and, more importantly, media are prepared (keen) to report incidents whereas previously anything unsavoury was ignored.
The 1970's Aussies weren't called the ugly Australians simply for the taches.
My ex father-in-law played first class cricket (briefly) in England before the war and for the Army during it so played against the Comptons etc and it doesn't sound a lot different to today TBH.
It's easy to think it was all clever, witty one liners but that's only because they are more memorable than "you fat fluffybunny"

Re, the line
I am going to try and make a point that is completely beyond my language skills.
Warner is full of shit and he knows it.
So, let's assume De Kock said "hey mate your wife is a slag". Nobody has actually quoted what was said, but the rumours/conjecture suggests it it's something close.
How should you react when someone calls your wife a slag? Well that depends...
Is he attacking the person I am married to or my wife? And yes there is a difference.
A mate that calls your wife a slag is insulting her. When you lash out you are protecting her honour (that might be wrong or right in its own right).
When a guy you barely know says you are married to a slag, he is insulting you. When you explode you are defending your own honour.
So which one happened here? I doubt De Kock knows or cares to know Candice Warner. He, allegedly, said something that touched a nerve with the little shit gibbon. I am sure Warner thinks he was being chivalrous, I think he was being a dick who can dish it out, but doesn't like to get it back. Also think deep down he and his team mates know that he was protecting his own little shit gibbon ego, not the honour of his partner.
-
Oh and to add. We play hard, but fare, keep it on the pitch, let's get a beer culture is bullshit.
I honestly think the Proteas (generally) think the Aussies are fluffybunnies. Its not hatred, just, well we have better things to do with our time.
You do you mate.
