Quote: Austin 3:16 "So you were not embarrassed losing to a team who, all things been equal you should have beat, but are embarrassed at the possibility of been beat by the current back to back SL champions who are also this years league leaders? Struggling with the logic if I'm honest.'"
Clearly you [iare[/i struggling! It's about rivalry. If you meditate on that concept for a while, you may get it in the end.
In addition to the rivalry, there is also the fact that we had won the Challenge Cup for three years on the bounce. That made it relatively easy to be gracious losers, albeit disappointed gracious losers. Personally, I didn't have much hope to start out with because we had been playing rubbish for ages by then so all things considered the loss was not embarrassing. Certain elements of our performance on that occasion were, as I mentioned, but not the loss itself.
