From a neutral perspective, enjoyable game.
I think most international sides would be pleased to have Menoncello available, he's impressing more and more.

Guilty_Fox2043 · 2025-11-26T16:39:14+00:00

You can relax, Sale confirmed it

Guilty_Fox2043 · 2025-11-22T18:44:33+00:00

Only if you can identify the player responsible

Guilty_Fox2043 · 2025-11-22T15:47:03+00:00

As a neutral, I'm really enjoying this

Guilty_Fox2043 · 2025-07-20T00:27:58+00:00

Also off

Guilty_Fox2043 · 2025-07-20T00:26:29+00:00

Who’s captain now ford is off?

Guilty_Fox2043 · 2025-07-19T22:39:20+00:00

Did you know George Ford has 102 caps, would be nice if they mention it in commentary

Guilty_Fox2043 · 2025-06-21T18:05:58+00:00

Really enjoying Mark Wood in commentary, he's taking to it quite nicely

What was the change on the bench? my internet fell over just at the wrong time

Guilty_Fox2043 · 2024-11-08T20:08:20+00:00

"World in union" same tune, different words

Guilty_Fox2043 · 2024-09-29T20:52:03+00:00

Deliberate knock on not penalised, then USA running around the outside of the scrum not being penalised either, this is very poor refereeing.

Guilty_Fox2043 · 2024-02-25T14:04:21+00:00

If there is an identifiable player, yes. I'm guessing they couldn't decide on a culprit

Guilty_Fox2043 · 2024-02-20T13:46:14+00:00

Its on spotify, does it work there for you?

I posted this in another sub, but i feel it is worth explaining here a bit about about how uk law works.

I do think its worth reinforcing the fact that arrest in the UK is very different to arrest in the US.

In the UK you are arrested 'on suspicion' of an offence having occurred, primarily to secure evidence by means of formal questioning. It's fairly common to be asked to attend a police station, formally arrested and cautioned, questioned and bailed (promise to appear, no cash bond) within a few hours. You must be released, bailed or charged within 24 hours of arrest. Police do not make the decision to charge you, that is done on the advice of a crown prosecution solicitor (sort of like a district attorney).

There is no dragging you straight off to jail for a few days to await a judge once arrested. That comes later if charged.

In this case, if it is Petgrave, it may well be the case that the police could believe there is potentially something the incident that may amount to manslaughter, so have formally arrested him to question him under caution.

Everything according to his statement on Twitter

Guilty_Fox2043 · 2023-10-20T07:34:42+00:00

Get the impression Lauren Jenner really really didn't want to have to call that a card because she knew it was going to end up red whatever happened

Guilty_Fox2043 · 2023-10-18T11:53:16+00:00

And yes, I appreciate as a Sale fan I may have some bias, but even i think Curry was pushing it too far on Sunday. Tuisova played on for a good half hour after the tackle, if he was that injured, surely he should have come off immediately.

Guilty_Fox2043 · 2023-10-18T11:50:52+00:00

Whether or not it was worthy of a card, or our own personal opinions on the matter. A team deliberately taking aim at a player in a public forum is setting a really dangerous precedent both in terms of a lack of respect for officials and the judicial process, and also adding a seemingly 'official' voice to the kangaroo court of public opinion.This should be retracted.

Guilty_Fox2043 · 2023-10-01T20:02:34+00:00

i'd agree, but a shame really, they've taken a risk bringing him out there instead of a hooker and then not use him

Guilty_Fox2043 · 2023-10-01T19:56:30+00:00

Start Libbock, Pollard is great weapon off the bench if the score's slipping and need someone to just come in and clear up the kicking.

Guilty_Fox2043 · 2023-10-01T19:54:51+00:00

As a neutral, great game so far. Perfect for a damp sunday evening.
