47035_1386433761.gif We can be bold enough to make a stand and do battle for our views and beliefs. But we must strive to be mature enough not to resort to unnecessary personal attacks upon people with opposing views.:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_47035.gif |

| It's not about taking comments to heart. I rarely do.
I was just pointing out that Sky seem to have set their stall out early. It's news -corporation tactics to see who will win a general election and when it's pretty certain they will plow in all guns blazing and claim the victory was all down to them.
Well last night I felt it went beyond routing for the underdog. I don't expect balance, the piece on Roby at the start seemed to be someone at Sky saying erm the OPTA stats are out boys and erm well Roby has trounced them, so we best do a focus piece. So that was unbalanced in our favour you could say. But things like wanting to get Lance banned for next week, Sia banned for next week, totally missing the punch from Elima but then showing his shirt being held, it was just more than I have seen, I would have expected the GF to be something of a band wagonathon.
Saints fans are clear that player wise we are up against it and we need to be at our best and rely on defense and something of attrition to wear down the other side.
I've chilled a bit now, but last night I was absolutely steaming, even the swift try, which was pretty good, by anyones standard only seemed to be referanced by how lucky we were not to be in touch. Rather than the strength, speed and skill needed to work in such a finiate amount of space.
Any way. All that aside. What I would have expected was us to get it in the neck for letting the pressure off at key moments in that game. There were times again last night were we demonstrated that to play without halves means any error, dropped/sloppy play the ball, leaving gaps in defense get punished even more severely.
I was not over joyed with our performance in the first 20. There were times when we just did not seem up to speed. Whether that was the week off or what I am not sure. But the incident with Mose passing back the ball to Lance who was busy having a chat or something made me almost launch something at the TV. We just did not seem 100% there. But then after the break the sloppy stuff seemed to drift out of the game for a bit.
I'll be at the final next week as it's not yet been move to a Thursday (really don't like Thursday matches now).
So thankfully I'll be able just put up with the ribbing from the opposition.

You remind me of that old Black Sabbath single, Paranoid!

Clarke was embarrassing. The team that topped the table, was top for 16 weeks and stayed top since May had just got to the final and all he could show was 50/50 calls that went our way.
Funny he didn't show the most forward pass ever for Catalan try and the one we scored that wello actually kicked avd never dropped.

That's my only real complaint about Sky's commentary, too much negativity, it brings the game down at times. Call it and have a bit of a discussion if you want, then move on, like the game invariably has.
