Otago v Magpies - Championship semi-final

[Nepia]

@higgins That was utter bullshit - we don't get those penalties.

I didn't believe @Stargazer about O'Keefe - but I'm a believer now.

[Magpie_in_aus]

fuck brad and gareth needed to step up there. Not try and one off run for 6 minutes. Thats 50+phases

[Higgins]

Indian bookers?

[Magpie_in_aus]

Noise control will be over at my hosue soon. Fuck Fukc fuck

[Stockcar86]

Well, fuck

[Nepia]

So much bollocks.

[Stockcar86]

Future looks bright though with lots of youngsters stepping up and performing. Just need to keep them signed

[Hooroo]

Fuckme days. I reallly feel for the bay.

Gutted for them.

[Stargazer]

We're fucking robbed. Otago should never had got that penalty after the Otago player was over the line. Fucking officials.

[Higgins]

I initially thought that last lineout happened after a blue player botched his set up after the tackle and the ball trickled into touch. Don't think I will be capable of watching the reply to check it out

[Gunner]

I don’t know who should be more gutted, you guys for having it stolen at the death, or us for capitulating mid game yet again this season.

[Magpie_in_aus]

Was he out or off emersons foot? was watching a stream couldnt rewind

[Stargazer]

@magpie_in_aus Otago player out or off the Otago player's foot more likely.

[Stockcar86]

I watched it again, he was out before the ball was released to hit Emerson

[Higgins]

Thanks for clearing that up, all my instincts from over 50 years of rugby watching told me there was something not right about it.

Really? That's the ball game there. Oh well, good season for the Magpies at any rate!

[Stargazer]

I can handle a loss if it's deserved, but we were robbed and I'm livid. O'Keefe, it's always the same with him. We've lost close games before this way, because of him.

Will be cheering for Waikato next week.

[Number 10]

Frustrating.

I was yelling at the TV for HB to kick the bloody ball instead of playing the phases on the own 10m line after Otago closed to 17-19.

That was inexperience .. or wrong option in rugby speak ...

Then when we did kick it after Ioane missed the penalty ... we allowed Collins to slip through which eventually set up the last one.

That last penalty - my original view was Parsons was always part of the maul that broke away and didn't join illegally, he was always there?

But that game was like Ta$man v Canterbury last night - Ta$man/HB dominated the first half for a halftime lead, but second half was almost all Canterbury/Otago.

[Stargazer]

LOL, the missus just got home with beer, pizza and icecream and still her angry face on, saying that we "should fucking celebrate the fucking win we should have fucking had if it wasn't for that fucking Wellington one-eyed eye doctor and his assistants who fucked it all up."
