So this morning I go to the site to see that the entire Proteas selection panel has been sacked.  According to Mike Proctor, a meeting between the Panel and CSA last week didn’t go according to plan and now it looks like transformation is sticking it’s ugly head out again.

When will we learn that the best team is the team that gets results?  That color is a mere way of saying “We suffered so you take the backseat kwagga”  I was sitting and wondering why we have to pay thousands of rands to the Revenue Service, who in turn use that money to feed those in prisons, buy government officials expensive cars and pay for their luxurious trips overseas.  I saw the other day that a top official bought a Lamborghini and that to go to work.  Absolutely bulldust if you ask me.  Now you will wonder what this has to do with the Proteas…well everything if you ask me.

The powers on top of the food chain is messing up what people built over the years.  Mandela bought the nation together and even if you hate him, Mbeki bought in a lot of foreign currency into our economy which in turn made it stronger.  Zuma is like a manager that can’t control his employees because he would want to be a favourite.

This in turn goes to the head of Stofile and co, I would go on and say that Majola is part of this and he deserves more credit, his hand is so deep in the pie that taking it out might spoil his hairstyle or rot his teeth.  Im really gatvol of Color getting in the way of our sport.  This is not the last time trust me.  For now I would say that I am color blind!!

Ps: This is a comment from a huge doos from the Sport 24 article:

Finally CSA is getting rid of the whites who insist on selecting whites only. A black player has to be 5 times better than an average white player before getting a look in. Harris, De Wet, Smith, Boucher, McClaren, Botha (Chucky), neither of them deserve a place in the team. There are better players, white onexs as well out there to select. The vice-captain is forced to bat out of position while WHITE “AWB De Villiers” can choose where to bat. To hell with them. Please get us a black coach with balls the size of PDV.

Dear Wife/Girlfriend/Mistress/Skelmpie

Hereby I would like to remind you that the Rugby season is due to start soon.  Let me firstly explain how this will work:

Weekends will consist of Friday night rugga, Saturday Rugby Marathon and Sunday, replays, watching Boots & All and recovering from a hectic weekend.  Please note that this trend will continue for the full duration of the Super 14 after which the attention will shift to Currie Cup, Tri Nations and End of Year Tours.

Since you said that the Xmas period belongs to you, and I need to do the shopping, hang up decorations, play houseguest to your friends (half of which I don’t even know), let me remind you of our pact, Xmas is yours and Rugga is mine.

No family visits or parents coming over.  If you want to see them, do so in the week.

I cleverly installed a extra eye in the bedroom so you can watch Extreme Home Makeover or Keeping up with the Kardashians.  You will also have your share of the bar which includes Rum, Whiskey and even the Brutal Fruit but please leave my beer stash alone!  Also note that a list of all meat will be posted on the fridge every Wednesday morning for you to go get, I will ensure that there is enough charcoal and firelighters to burn from now until Xmas.

Your friends are allowed visits but not during the time when my team is playing.  I will also not hear you above the noise so anything that needs to be done needs to be given at least three hours notice beforehand.  There will be no picking up the remote or standing in my line of sight and no letting the dogs in while rugby is on.

All house chores needs to be completed by 15h00 on every Friday of every week no exceptions.  I will offcourse do my share of the lot and that includes mowing the lawn and any maintenance work of the sort.

I trust that these ground rules will be adhered to and know that you will…because you love me too much.

Yours Truly, your Husband/Boyfriend/Skelmpie/Tiger

PS:On a personal note, I didn’t mention the cricket because right now that is not as important as my rugga

With reference to my previous post and the amount of ranting because of a certain Mr Woods, plz find attached…..

And here follows the latest….ag whateva, here is some stuff for you to pass up time:

Most of you will know that Soccer Superstar Diego Maradona is in the country ahead of the Fifa WC, booking hotels and checking out the facilities his team must use.  From what it appears, Argentina will be based in Pretoria and this comes as no surprise as he will be visiting Pedrie Wannenberg since the two have loads in common.  Do I get a sniff in the nose??

Elena Di Cioccio, presenter of TV Programme Le Lene(The Hyenas) in Italy has made a dash at David Bechams Balls. According to unconfirmed reports, the reporter is studying his baby making tool for a upcoming project named “England, where is my Balls” and will feature a in depth look at why the UK has no balls.

Of to Golf and Electronic Arts are still planning on releasing the 11^th Tiger Woods PGA Tour game.  The game will feature new online playing and is set to revolutionize the online gaming world.  In light of Tiger’s infidelity, a new chapter has been added to the game.  It will feature Tiger going on not one, not two but fourteen dates and will also include live chatrooms and video feeds.

Counting down the days to when “normal” life begins….Feb 13, you may come now. This is Kaas Kwota, for Sport Soapies.

So earlier in the week I received this letter, struck me as strange…but so true.

Dear Mr REM (Sharkie)

Firstly, we would like to thank you for your continous support during the last year.  We have made it a point to keep in contact with our regular customer’s and send you brochures of our latest specials.

During 2009, your main purchases was Heineken Beer and various items at our Meat Market including Boerewors, Tjops and Steak.  We noticed however that during the Xmas period that these sales doesn’t compare and a dip from recent years took place last year.

Your sales in 2009 was two cases of Heineken every Saturday, with a fine selection of meat and occasionally the odd cider here and there.  This trend took place from early Feb to late November.  We sincerely hope that you will continue to use Spar and Tops @ Spar for your Saturday rugby needs.  We look forward to see you again real soon, where you will be greeted with a Beer and complimentary Boerewors Roll.  Have a great 2010.

Yours Truly,

Mr Jakob Urs van Niekerk

Spar Regional Office

Ps: Ek kan nie blerrie wag laat die rugby begin nie.  Niemand wil by my koop tensy daar regte blerrie sport op die Telly is nie!!!

Compliments of the season readers, REM is back. I must say that the holiday did me some good, had time to reflect on some stuff and I feel fresh and in a great spirit. Like I have emphasised before, this time of year sucks for one reason only, NO RUGBYL

As some know, this time of year has super hot weather in the Mothercity. Yesterday was 36degrees and you had to feel for Greame Smith, who spent a whole day in the middle giving SA a great chance of saving the 3^rd test. It is also a time when our beaches are packed and until late night people still occupy places like 4^th Beach Clifton, Sea Point and Camps Bay.

 I have been keeping an eye on the Stormers and their preperations for the upcoming Super14 and since their practice ground is near my residence you always see lots of cars parked, with fans trying to get a sneak peak of their stars. A lot of them has now become Habana fans since the Bulls winger is plying his trade in the Cape now.

So REM decided to go to the beach the other day, after a long hot day, the breeze and lekke water does your body wonders. There, surrounded by quite a few people where non other then Mossie Fourie. The self proclaimed “best outside centre in the world” was having a stroll with wifey and encountered a Stormwind of fans. One thing was quite clear. Mossie has been a firm user of L’Oreal Studio FX and Pizbuin tanning lotion which also justifies my claim, that playing for the Stormers is like having a rockstar life…life in the fastlane as they call it.

I do wish them well and hope they can handle the sometimes very judgemental Newlands faithfull. Trust me I am notsaying that they are crap, they are, when the place is packed as loud as can be but when they lose then the majority of Cape Town is misluk.

Last year this time, REM was looking for a Sharks replica jersey. Since at that time, Canterbury was liquadated and they didn’t have sufficient amounts of jersey to go around. I was even placed on a waiting list only to be told that they sold it out. Then in a desperate outcry to fellow bloggers, I decided to put my anguish and anger to pen and paper, got a few suggestions from some. REM had the pleasure to deal with somebody from the inside of the Shark Tank, and according to her, the new one is on route so im keeping my fingers cross.
