For clarity.
Boudebza is called a coward and a French c+nt. See thread title. People on here then wish him crippled for two years.
This I find unpleasant. I'm not the only one thankfully.

I try and point out that the French despite 'Banter' and popular myth are indeed not a cowardly nation (none are) and use Hull´s experience in the wars as an example to compare against theirs (a reference that there maybe some common knowledge of on here).
Cue moral outrage on a level way above the criticism of the other vile comments and ignorance some have shown.

I then respond to these outbursts having the hope that some don't see my point because of who I support and I hope to stop further xenophobic outpouring on this thread.

The issue of Mr. Boudebza's height.

The act of diving.....cheating yes on occasion, sometimes done to avoid dangerous contact yes, deceitful yes on occasion, cowardly no.

There are despicable acts on a rugby field...see Chris Burton, Ben Westwood, Ben Flower (cowardly and sadistic punching an unconscious man) etc etc. The coaching and condoning of pressure on joints which endanger fellow players. I don't see Briscoe or Hunte jumping to address these issues yet someone diving does. Weird.
I used his height as an obvious 'measure' for his personal questionable courage.

All combat sports and many others have weight categories. Why because weight and height brings huge advantages (ask Conner McGregor). Seeing Boudebza tackle very effectively the likes of Pritchard etc leads me to think he is a brave man.

I was saddened by our defeat but not as much by some of the comments on here.

I'll let the comments that follow speak for themselves.

My misery comes from the repeated ignorance of people.
One of us pathetic.
I've congratulated you on your win plenty of times throughout this.
Two issues with this in what possible definition of 'diving' is it cowardly and what's his nationality got to do with it?
Look at the title of the thread.....read my posts........ take your fc glasses off and have a little think.
Because you don't understand there's no need to be rude.
