He'd criticise his mum in public if he could.

I think he had to say something because that match and the way it was officiated hilited some of the sports rules shortcomings

No they've started stopping it, no drink zones and such plus it's illegal now to leave a pub with a bottle too many people were using them as weapons on a friday and saturday night.

I disagree. i think it hinted at some shortcomings in the players attitude. Nothing wrong with the rules at all. Everyone knows them (as I said yesterday) and watching the highlights all the yellows and reds seemed justified...lucky there wasn't one more think Figo

Same in New Zealand. Most of the central city is an alcohol-free zone with arrest/fine possible. Also most of the beaches around the city are alcohol-free

I think there was something wrong with the sideline cam. We only had the camera behind the one goal.

I always thought New Zealand was crime free until saw a series about gangs of the world, suppose every country as it's idiots though.

I think it's more likely that they would punish us if we DID qualify
