Re: CC 5th Round
Anyone can support a team when it is winning, that takes no courage.
But to stand behind a team, to defend a team when it is down and really needs you,
that takes a lot of courage. #18thMan

Re: CC 5th Round
that Richard Bacon said "here is Challenge Cup Legend Billy Boston, have you won the cup Billy?". they nearly drew the same team twice and got the number 6 and 9 confused before going back to talk to a 'fashon expert' in Savile Row

Away to Hull KR in the 5th round.
That is the game we face but I show below the e-mail I have sent to Richard Bacon R5 Live as he oversaw the draw live on his show. I am still incandescent with rage.
I have just listened to the draw for the next round of the Rugby League Challenge Cup . The draw
you supervised was totally inept, incorrect in historical facts and possibly homophobic. You
described the Cup has having been played for for several decades, several? Try 120 years. You
then compounded this disrespect by describing the men on the Cup as 'camp, they even have
moustaches?!' You then played a try scored By living legend Billy Boston scoring a try in the 1961
Cup Final against Leeds, we all thought Wigan played St Helens in 1961. You managed to mess up
the reading of the draw by getting Hull KR to play away to Workington when Widnes had already
been drawn to play away there and then after 5 games had been drawn you managed to confuse
the audience further by saying that 4 games have been drawn and that leaves 4 more games to go.
From beginning to end your performance does not even deserve to be described as amateurish.

Regarder une fille en bikini, c'est comme avoir un revolver chargé sur sa table:
Il n'y a rien de mal a ça mais il est difficile de penser à autre chose.
Now Europe is just for holidays.
