    I think that is well edited , nothing in it , Martin Johnson would need an earpeice to hear what clive woodward was saying, as well as the fact clive woodward is talking into an empty bottle :)

    it would be a great invention a two way radio that also holds enough water to let you have a drink :)

    Lol stfu, if u want to be taken seriously dont phrase it in such a blatantly anti-anglo way. It's called prejudice and hate and it's practised by idiots


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,581 ✭✭✭uberwolf


    I'm convinced I saw that in real time during the game, just paid no attn to it, looks funny though... (not haha)

    I saw a cigarette lighter bigger than my mobile phone in the pub the last night, a radio would have no probs. I don't think its a technology issue, just a paranoia one

    the guy that gave him the water was probably wired up. Also look at all the guys wearing scrum caps, they all look dodgy too!

    yeah this is stupid if u ask me-just bias-england were better on the day and if they hadnt nearly bottled in the 2nd half wudve prob won quite easily i reckon,yup johnson was talking to the bottle and receiving info back through the water,sounds fair to me.

    Oh come on, what is the guy doing then? Look at his eyes, he's not making eye contact with anyone he's looking around shiftily...

    I've an open mind but like, jaysis, how do you explain whats on that film?

    How starts the guilty conscience me thinks!

    If there was any justice, they'd be stripped of the World Cup and it would Pickles the dog would receive the trophy, just like in 1966...

    I think Johnsons saying "If I mumble into this bottle some thick begrudger will think its a conspiracy..."

    So what exactly is Clive Woodward saying to him then?
    WIN THE GAME...he he he im so sneaky...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,778 ✭✭✭✭Kold


    Par, you're ugly


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 695 ✭✭✭BabyEater


    They showed it on RTE the other day and thought it was a bit sus. Have to agree it looks funny but its a lot of hassel to go to to have a conversation.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 21,264 ✭✭✭✭Hobbes


    He is talking into a microphone. The bottle sprays water but you see he gets it on the chin when he is finished.

    Not sure why it is called cheating though? The other guy with the water bottle is totally unrelated.

    lol
    Someone should tell the ref about these. It's make his job a hell of a lot easier.

    That water bottle was weird. :confused:
    I thought it looked dodgy. It was hardly that big a deal anyway. Was he actually breaking any rules? It seemed just to be a way of talking to the coach without shouting and gesturing ike a mad basterd.

    Since when is it cheating for a player to talk to the coach during a game?

    That's just stupid...


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,093 ✭✭✭woosaysdan


    maybe he drinks stuff like that?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 989 ✭✭✭MrNuked


    it is a breach of the rules. They showed the guy talking to the bottle during the half time on rte and they said it was a breach of the rules if there was communication going on there.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,778 ✭✭✭✭Kold


    Big black french guy takes Wilkinson out about 5 seconds after Wilkinson kicks and gets carded

    RTE Presenter: Ah well you know, he was commited to the tackle you know? I think he should've been let off


    OMG HE ALMOST TOOK OUT OUR STAR PLAYER IN A DANGEROUS ASSED TACKLE U ****ING RETARDS
