I have just watched highlights from Australia v Scotland Rugby World Cup Quarter Final and can just say one thing: WE WERE ROBBED/CHEATED!! !! !! !!

We played excellently and should be proud of the boys for their efforts (which I certainly am) but ONE WRONG decision cost us the win!

With a minute to go, we were 32-34 up and got a line out which was poorly executed which led to a penalty but the penalty was the wrong call, in fact it should have been given in favour of us!!

I am sick to bloody death of these wrong calls, which ALWAYS go against Scotland.

It was a great game though with one f***ing call being hugely decisive!

It's only a game.

Yes, it's a ball-game. Rugby football is a game I can't claim absolutely to understand in all its niceties, if you know what I mean. I can follow the broad, general principles, of course. I mean to say, I know that the main scheme is to work the ball down the field somehow and deposit it over the line at the other end and that, in order to provide defense, each side is allowed to commit a certain amount of assault and battery and do things to its fellow man which, if done elsewhere, would result in 30 days in the Can without appeal, coupled with some strong remarks from the judge.

Brutal, bloody, and loud - that's rugby.

Yay rugby. I like it when the pitcher makes a touchdown from the free-throw line. Sports!

Lighten up, please. Not everyone is obsessed with sports.
