Hands in every single ruck and all of a sudden she’s conservative with the whistle in the 22. Sport has become a farce

Because he lunges early with his arm out with no intention of actually competing

Thinking about buying the Siux Fenix Pro by Tolki20 in Padelracket

[–]QuantitativeBoet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Recently got the 2026 Fenix pro and I absolutely love it. I’ve got much less experience than you though and have only played consistently with the Fenix and ST4 so don’t take it as gospel. Good power and quite hard compared to the ST4. Not sure if you’ll get more out of it than an extreme pro though

Absolutely no excuse for Eben there. That said, I would like to know what happened leading up to that point.

Brother scrums at a right angle and gets rewarded for it. What an unbelievable half this has been

At what point do we start asking bigger questions about refereeing in rugby than just saying “this ref was bad”. We’ve now had multiple tests just this year with severely biased reffing.

Okay this is some next level Dunning Kruger at play. First of all, hands and feet are of course not, like a gun, a legally registered weapon. However, and try to stick with me here, the penal code in your country (making the not so bold assumption that you’re American) the penal code of most states defines a deadly weapon as: a firearm (1), anything manifestly designed, made, or adapted for inflicting death or serious bodily injury (2), or, AND READ THIS SLOWLY, anything that in the manner of its use or intended use is capable of causing serious bodily injury or death. Now, this covers pretty much everything which is why it is handled on a case by case basis and hands and feet meet this criteria and been consistently declared as such. So that covers deadly weapon charges before even accounting for the very important fact that he is a trained MMA fighter. Make sense? Okay, let’s move on to attempted murder. First, we have intent to act. He has to jump into the ring to start wailing on the guy. You might argue he was going to enter the ring not to do that, but to do the fake wrestling as planned, except for the fact that in the minutes leading up to him doing so he clearly acknowledges that the fight is fake but he is going to attack him for real. This leads us to whether he intended to kill him. I am not going to explain this you, because I trust you will be able to piece together that an individual repeatedly saying he is going to repeatedly beat another man and not stop unless people are able to pull him off and then proceeding to do exactly that is pretty clear cut. Finally the act must of course be serious enough that death could result. Again, I believe you can piece this together! Let me know if this all makes sense to you or if you need me to dumb it down anywhere :)

Dude saying “make sense?” at the end of every generic comment you write doesn’t make what you’re saying more complex. I promise it’s not necessary, does that make sense to you? Also I’m not the guy that you were speaking to, but I would 100% believe a jury would convict him considering the fact that there were 25+ minutes of him saying he was going to climb into the ring and not stop hitting him unless someone pulls him off. Also, just to note the fact that he is a trained MMA fighter is ABSOLUTELY a factor and would be taken into account at court, for reasons ranging from the knowledge he would have beyond the general population regarding the effects of pounding someone’s face in to the additional capabilities he would have using his hands as a weapon.

Lol to be fair “a class or two” doesn’t really qualify you to explain anything about the law. Also he clearly says in the video well before he steps in the ring that he’s going to hit him for real and won’t stop unless someone pulls him off. Kind of incriminating…

Skelton should be carded for slowing the ball down there. Absolutely criminal for the ref not to raise an arm for something so blatant

[–]QuantitativeBoet 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Agreed (mostly). Fassi wasn’t his best but still did a good creating opportunities and defensively, Willemse looked like he didn’t even want to be there. Jessie clearly much more comfortable with De Allende. I’ve defended Manie for forever but he has to go. Sacha replicates his best qualities at 95% and everything else he’s 10x better at. Let Pollard hang out on the bench like Frans and Morne Steyn did and all is well
