Subject: Rest in Peace Rugby Author: Kimbo [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 13:26:42 04/21/03 Mon The Rugby Lions' website serves up its usual diet of sour grapes here... http://www.rugbylions.net/2002-03/match-reports/cov-away.htm?=reload I suppose they've had plenty of practise this season though, having to watch that dire bunch. No wonder they can only muster a couple hundred dozing old monkeys at home matches (even when cutting the entrance fee to peanuts). Bye bye Rugby. Here's to a good stuffing by the Nuns next season (and the rest of the division). Rest in peace. [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]

[> Subject: Re: Rest in Peace Rugby Author: Musty [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 13:37:12 04/21/03 Mon Got to agree with Kimbo, I was truly concerned about losing a local derby etc. etc. but having read the Rugby web site may their very ORDINARY side rot in their own balances. We have spent a third of what Rugby have spent and have finally achieved a team spirit, Rugby have a bunch of over paid mercenaries with no glimmer of a team spirit.Further more what was that playing at No5, it certainly wasnt the excellent Rob Hurrell that left us a season ago.

[> [> Subject: Re: Rest in Peace Rugby Author: Steve [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 18:33:20 04/21/03 Mon Well said Kimbo and Musty, nothing but sour grapes, pathetic behaviour. I hope they never come back. I dont think they will anyway. Ive heard most of their best players are leaving. I suppose they will have another big spend on the wrong players again. Theyve had it and wont be back. Nuneaton will beat them next season,whatever they spend. They just cant get it right. Well done Mark ELLIS and his coaches, and to the club in addressing the problems to put us back on track.Pity Rugby cant do the same.Well done Cov. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> [> [> Subject: Re: Rest in Peace Rugby Author: Gazz [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 19:38:42 04/24/03 Thu This is way OTT. Why be so nasty? £12 for entrance is a lot for a div 1 game and no prog and the web site only said Cov where 'ordinary' and why wish the demise of a football team-are you glad Richmond and London Scottish are no more? The Lions have gone bust and been relegated before but so have Cov. I wish Coventry well in their new stadium and perhaps semi professional team-but it could easily turn pear-shape for them if the cash flow calculations are wrong! And Rugby people are happy that Nuneaton are doing well for the game in Warwickshire. I know Rugby Lions were crap this season because a clique run the club -and signed outside players because of the demise of the under 21 and no second team. This was being aired on the Rugby Message board before they did a Bobbit despite a promise that this will not happen (like the Cov board). [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> Subject: Re: Rest in Peace Rugby Author: Kimbo [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 19:00:26 04/21/03 Mon Agreed to a certain extent about Robbie Hurrell - however, I thought he was the pick of a particularly poor shower in the second half. If that's the kind of 'development' that PC Richards wants for his players then it's no surprise that the Tiggers are going down the toilet too. Come back Robbie - it's time you got your career back on track. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

The best two "takes" at the raffle were in the two games against the Lions. Hurry back Lions the Bears need your money!!! [ Post a Reply to This Message ]
