September 2007 - General Stuff
Just wondered if anyone else caught the excellent Simon Barnes piece in the Times about Aussie pom-baiting this week? It sat opposite a robust piece by Clive Woodward claiming the mind games never bothered him or the team.

The gist of Barnes's piece was this. Take John 'chip on both shoulders' O'Neil's anti-English rant, remove 'England' or 'English' and insert one of the following: Jews, Muslims, immigrants, women, homosexuals. See? It's OTT and demeans the good-natured rivalry between the nations.

Sporting banter should be just that; banter.
There should be no place for bigotry, least of all from so-called sports leaders. Here's to a cracking game this afternoon. And may the dull, pedestrian poms mightily upset the big-headed, large-mouthed Aussies Big Grin

The harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph
