Hafnia Posted November 13, 2015 Report Share Posted November 13, 2015 Id be fine with that as long as elstone is fired and a top notch ceo is brought in. The whole club needs a clean out at corporate level. Good people left on principles. I would hate to see what culture exists in that set up. Toxic, bullying, jobs for boys is my guess.

gethinO Posted November 18, 2015 Report Share Posted November 18, 2015 (edited) Just read that Jonah Lomu has died suddenly at the age of 40. Terribly sad. Absolute legend of Rugby and seemed a real geniune and down to earth guy. Saw him quite a few times on tv during this world cup and he seemed in a good state of health. I know he's had health issues in the past but this is out of nowhere. He tweeted yesterday as well which has really put it in perspective for me personally. One minute you're here, with your friends and family, and then suddenly, the next morning you don't wake up, and that's it. Gone. I know it's a bit of a cliche but life really is too short and everyone should make the most of their life as no one knows what's around the corner.

I'm not into Union whatsoever but I can appreciate what a monster of a player he was, and what a shame someone with so much ability never won a World Cup! Thoughts are with his family. RIP Jonah.

Hafnia Posted November 18, 2015 Report Share Posted November 18, 2015 He was the only reason I watched rugby back then, never seen anything like it - what a specimen he was! Absolute tank of a man who could really shift. Sad news. RIP Jonah. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In those days the strip was: red shirts with green edging, green shorts, red socks. I do agree though that the current strip is a disaster.

Their nickname used to be 'The Royals' as their ground 'Stag Meadow' is on the edge of crown land and is not far from Windsor Castle. Their patron was the Duke of Edinburgh though I don't remember ever seeing him at a game! Nice little ground. Good stand, good clubhouse and floodlights, which was a big deal back in the 70's. I was 37 when I went there and played for a couple of seasons before hobbling into the sunset. Nice little club though.

I only noticed the kit because my childhood team played there last Saturday John.. http://guildfordcityfc.co.uk/2015/11/15/windsor-1-1-guildford-city-match-report/ GCFC were a great club back in my youth also. Current team are, like Windsor, a reincarnation of a club that went to the wall; I was there at the last game of the original GCFC in 1974.

City got another huge investment from China today also. I don't want our club to be like that personally, they are no longer "clubs", they're multi-national businesses. How can a fan feel passionate about that? Might as well go and buy an Exxon scarf and look at the stock market results.

I think he will be very good. Can't take Phil seriously. Big loss for Sky - he's been a tremendous pundit, very very good.

Hafnia Posted December 3, 2015 Report Share Posted December 3, 2015 Its almost too perfect... If he was given 15-20 years straight from the off he could have got his head around it. What has happened is he thought had almost got away with it... a cushy year in prison then a few years playing on a PS4 and watching Breaking Bad in his uncles house thinking "this isn't bad at all". Now what has happened he has to go back - and for far longer than he first thought.... I just wish I could hav e seen his reaction. My hatred for this arrogant, spoilt brat knows no boundaries. At least now I hope the Steenkamps can move on with their life in some way, nothing will bring their beautiful daughter back but justice will at least be done.
