Scumbag lawes again with illegal play

Where was the wrap?

AnonMous · 10-09-2011 9:20am

Argentina seriously need t get their kicking boots on!!!

England are always on a fine line with the rules. They should have had someone binned a lot earlier in my opinion, to keep the flow of the game!

he'll argue he was committed to the tackle, Tiesi should never have kicked that ball, argies no composure when it leaves the pack.

ps- watching it on UTV, Phil Vickery is dreadful, he sounds like he's taken a few too many knocks to the head.

thomond2006 · 10-09-2011 9:21am

Pretty poor game, only exciting moment was Foden's break.

More negatives than positives for Argentina IMO. Contepomi and Tiesi off (Tiesi's looked bad) and they've missed 15 points through 4 kicks and 1 DG attempt.

RuggieBear · 10-09-2011 9:21am

less of the petty name calling people. read the charter. calling players/pundits/etc derogatory names is not tolerated.

Stegbeetle · 10-09-2011 9:21am

Painful first half!

Just saw it a second time, you're right no wrap. Got that wrong.

A vintage Northampton tackle there from Lawes. Have no time for the scummy way their forward play the game off the ball. Lawes, Hartley and Dowson being the main offenders.

still dont know how hartley wasnt banned for forearming mccaw in the autumn internationals.

jesus i hate england with a passion and their jerseys are tasteless ( and of shoddy workmanship)

CorkMan · 10-09-2011 9:23am

I would be a neutral for this match if it were not for the English commentary.

"England once again can become the greatest team in the world; they have traveled all the way to the furthest city from home.", etc, etc.

I would not like for England to win so the idiot commentator can't blow his horn about the glorious English side, beating all odds and showing they are the most glorious of all. It is the exact same with the Soccer.

He has that type of tackle down to a fine art and has done it repeatedly over the past year. I think it was Hamilton for Leicester that he destroyed in the AP semi with a carbon copy. Chases down the kicker and as they're about to kick he launches himself at them, rarely goes for the ball, just the man and normally their standing side. Legal but there's an intention in it.

kerrysdad · 10-09-2011 9:24am

Lawes couldn't "wrap" a chicken salad.
He should be called the "Assassin" after that display

Nedermeyer · 10-09-2011 9:24am

Can someone answer me as to why the big screens are active when they're kicking ? Thought they normally turned them off.

Also, it's shocking the amount of noise when kickers are getting ready. Very disrespectful.

England are playing a sloppy game - tackle by Lawes says it all . . .

hardCopy · 10-09-2011 9:24am

There won't be many Argentinians left for the rest of the tournament at this rate

handsomecake · 10-09-2011 9:25am

can thomson be cited for kissing ledesma. is that not inciting a row?

cite him for sexual harassment...?

theboss80 · 10-09-2011 9:28am

Anybody else reckon Vickery is a bit drunk? He definitely looked it before match and sounds it aswell

lol

no tongue though

Judgement Day · 10-09-2011 9:31am

Hardly a showpiece for the game but I still can't see past a win for 'God's Chosen People' - expect a different game in the 2nd half after Johnson reads the riot act to them.

Well one thing is for sure, this game won't be on any World Cup DVD

mossyc123 · 10-09-2011 9:34am

Im finding it fairly entertaining...Argentina trying to run the ball... the potential for an upset with 40 mins to go is always interesting

thomond2006 · 10-09-2011 9:36am

Aah Argentina close to scoring twice, taking the 3 point option.

i hope they do but seems inevitable they will fold

thomond2006 · 10-09-2011 9:37am

9-3, deserved good start for the Argies.

TheSpecialOne · 10-09-2011 9:38am

England Argies and Scotland in the same Group....Snooze fest!

hardCopy · 10-09-2011 9:38am

Come on Argentina!

trackguy · 10-09-2011 9:38am

England are playing very poorly, it has to be said. Jonny looks like their only hope at the moment

did you see scotland match earlier ?

thomond2006 · 10-09-2011 9:39am

Jonny misses a long range kick.

Cypher_sounds · 10-09-2011 9:40am

Think wilko will be replaced soon enough.

Yes i did and they are terrible all of the top three teams in this pool are limited when attacking.

pajero12 · 10-09-2011 9:40am

Whats with Englands Numbers?

Taco Corp · 10-09-2011 9:41am

why are they going for another long range kick?

thomond2006 · 10-09-2011 9:41am

Another penalty at the breakdown to Argentina, big difference is the backrows for me. England's 6-8 are getting wiped at the moment.

blackdog2 · 10-09-2011 9:41am

Sounds like the whole crowd are behind the argies!

trackguy · 10-09-2011 9:41am

Big kick

joe316 · 10-09-2011 9:41am

Dr Phil looks preggers

TheSpecialOne · 10-09-2011 9:42am

Another Stupid long range attempt from Argentina! ugh!

tbukela · 10-09-2011 9:42am

"First best", shocking commentary.

thomond2006 · 10-09-2011 9:42am

**** sake, I wish they'd kick to touch and try to kill the game off.

Ben Youngs on at 9.

Burgo · 10-09-2011 9:42am

Another failed peno

cython · 10-09-2011 9:42am

What's that, 15 or 18 points that Argentina have left on the field with ill advised long range penalties and drop goal attempts?

RuggieBear · 10-09-2011 9:42am

christ if only arg had a kicker

Yeah really don't understand why they haven't gone for the corner.

handsomecake · 10-09-2011 9:43am

brycey is gonna need a new whistle

thomond2006 · 10-09-2011 9:44am

Is there something in the air? Jonny's missed 3! :eek:

temply · 10-09-2011 9:44am

Jonny having a bad time of it

Oh nose

Taco Corp · 10-09-2011 9:44am

3 misses in a row for Johnny
