England fans, astonishing as this may seem to you, actually care about the image of the game as well as winning.

We don't have the luxury of the extensive coverage you enjoy in Aus, so we're very protective of our hard-earned image for being friendly and amiable, with no quarter asked nor given on the field but an extensive and good natured cameraderie off it.

You shouldn't assume it's simple schadenfreude from the England fans - many of us genuinely were disgusted by Stuart's behaviour towards the officials in public.

read this thread and see where people are concerned about the image of the game.

what a load of BS

what a w**k of a word.

Indeed.

Its a bit like being an aussie and declaring you were happy that NZ won because its good for the image of the game. You dont half make me laugh Dally

yeah its not as if i wore a NZ Warriors jersey in their semi final vs manly whilst sitting in a bay dedicated solely to manly fans.

There have been several posts up to this point on the thread saying Stuart's behaviour is unacceptable in his role.

You have a habit of simply making things up to suit whatever you're saying.

I am so glad someone else noticed Dally's trait.

im dissappointed you didnt fit in that word schned ... in again, that was really good.

and judging from the gloating on here, i think my point stands.

i think its pretty poor form myself especially givens englands disgraceful WC performances.

yeah mate, if i were you id be avoiding that other thread liek the plague too.

No, it doesn't.

This is you making things up again, and hoping people won't notice. It's a strange tactic, particularly as people can simply [iread the thread[/i.

example 1 - sorry JB, there are others too.
