Magpies v Manawatu

[Nepia]

@taniwharugby I feel uncomfortable with you and Sumo 'supporting' the Magpies, it leaves a bad taste in my mouth. If it wasn't for the fact we were playing those Poo-ians I'd almost want us to throw the game.

@nepia Kamo Magpies, Hawkes Bay Magpies, it's just the Magpie part I support...

Urrgh, look we deliberately tanked the Vikings because Northland kicked up a stink about it. Kamo needs another black and white animal so as to not confuse themselves with the Magpies. Say the Penguins? Yeah, I like that - I give the club permission to use my brilliant idea for no fee whatsoever. Or maybe the pandas or zebras?

@nepia well in my son's grade there are 2 Kamo teams, Magpies and Sharks, my son's is the latter if that pleases you any...

As for the Vikings, bro you need to get back on that train, stunning kit too!

Yesterday was a brilliant day - warm, hardly any wind, hardly any clouds.

Today is now overcast and windy.

Damn, add some rain to that and the Poo players will think it's a home game.

@nepia I'm down in the Bay for the weekend,heading to the game,talk about weird weather,24 degrees yesterday,a chilly 16 degrees today with precipitation hanging around..!

[Higgins]

Right guys, my pre-game buildup is over and have just come back from the fridge with the essentials required for fluid upkeep. Check, flag ready, black and white socks pulled up, jersey tucked in, rosette attached, beanie on, scarf in place - yes - right I'm ready to go

[Higgins]

Well it looks like we have got the mis-tackle technique perfected if the first three minutes of the game is an accurate indication.

[Higgins]

A couple of big long runs down the left flank by the HB guys have further enhanced my spirits, this could be the day!

[Higgins]

And then a bullet is dodged when the referee rules a knock on which prevents what looked to be a perfectly legitimate 'Poo try.

[Higgins]

One which he equalizes by calling a line ball forward when HB looked dangerous a few minutes later.

[Higgins]

TRY to HB after scabby kick and chase after the 'Poo falconed a HB head with an attacking pass 55 metres back up the field

[Stockcar86]

This referee gives me the shits. It seems like any time he needs to make a call it is a lottery

[Higgins]

Ah damn it, a very minor knock on is spotted which over rules the initial decision, Mr. Dockery the TMO as per normal.

[Higgins]

Then a poxy intercept from former fringe Magpie Lewis Marshall puts the 'Poo ahead seven nil. I have yet to utter a curse word, out loud anyway.

[Hooroo]

Gee. Hawkes Bay and Waikato should have a game to see who should go into the Heartland Championship

[Higgins]

Looks like about the only thing Mr. Philpott has worked on in training this week is the miss-tackle technique. It is about the only thing he has got the team doing well at as there have been plenty of perfect examples of them today.

[Higgins]

That last bit of play epitimises just how shite we are.

[Higgins]

We are winning a genuine fight but here comes a red card for Tony Lambourn after he landed few really good smacks to the head of a 'Poo player, who obviously deserved it!
