SF - Wellington vs Shield Snorters

[Higgins]

Does anyone have any idea when our Horkes Bay team (using the phonetical spelling) will be named for the Saturday night game please?

EDIT: Goodness how does a question about my provinces team suddenly appear in a thread that does not have anything to do with a game concerning Wellington and a team that I have never heard of?

[Stargazer]

@Higgins I expect the HBRU to post it tomorrow morning.

[Stargazer]

MAgieS team to play Wellington in the semis. No changes.

[Higgins]

@stargazer What is you post doing in this thread that looks like it is about a game Wellington are playing against some sort of mythical outfit?

[Kirwan]

So has there been any repercussions for the frankly disgusting behaviour with the shield, or have they got off scot free?

[Stargazer]

@Kirwan I don't think a team has ever been punished for damaging the Shield, have they? I mean, the team that took a bath with it, resulting in the wood starting to rot and leading to the old Shield having to be replaced, didn't face any consequences either. And that's just one example.

The result of the enquiry announced next week, apparently.

Nobody has ever split it in half, snorted drugs off it and took pictures celebrating both acts and posted them publically. It's a new low.

[Stargazer]

@Kirwan There's no proof that they snorted drugs or that it was players snorting drugs and taking pictures. As has been reported, there were several non-players present, including the female who's holding the phone with the pictures. I've seen no pictures of anyone celebrating the Shield breaking.

[Higgins]

@Kirwan I did not know the NZ Police had arrested and charged anyone with any offence. Please let the cat out of the bag and let the world know who alleged guilty parties were so that I can remove them from my Christmas Card list?

[Kirwan]

Wow. I do have to wonder how you'd handle Auckland acting that feral, amazed you both seem happy with this sort of behaviour.

[Stargazer]

@Kirwan Where do we say we are happy with the "alleged" behaviour?

[Kirwan]

Look up.

[Stargazer]

@Kirwan Go to Specsavers or learn to read instead of twisting words.

[Kirwan]

No I'm good.

Hopefully they don't return the Shield so it can be kept safe.

[Higgins]

@kirwan Still waiting for an answer to my perfectly legitimate question, one for which you must have the answer for given you are so confident you know the intimate details of what happened and those that must have been involved.

[Kirwan]

I would hope that the police would investigate, especially when it's so painfully, stupidly made public, but in the current climate I doubt it.

That comment indicates you have already convicted someone for something that might or might not have happened. I was unaware that you were a court judge in the NZ court system with the powers to convict someone that has not yet been arrested and without any actual evidence other that a photo that could have been doctored. Congratulations on your astuteness and clearvoiantness, you have saved the courts a lot of time and money that would have been spent in actually prosecuting the case

[Kirwan]

That's a lot of words you are trying to put in my mouth to justify the bogan celebrations that broke one of the most treasured trophies in NZ (Well, treasured by the rest of NZ anyway).
