Yay! Allister Coetzee sacked as Bok coach!

It makes me so happy!

DieGrootHammer · February 2, 2018, 11:37am

WAIT WHAT!?!?!?!?!

That is the best news of the day!! I’m really happy that Rassie has put his foot down and fired his incompetent ass

Solitude · February 2, 2018, 11:39am

I know right!

I swear, I had a depressing day and my wife dropped her phone and my dog had an allergic reaction to a vaccination shot and then this happens and I feel so much better.

If we still drank alcohol I would have gotten some champagne.

Jissiee… hoe lus is ek nie nou om n ruggas bal rond te skop nie!

Blazzok · February 2, 2018, 11:48am

Just get some sparkling grape juice, those are also delicious and alcohol free!

Solitude · February 2, 2018, 11:50am

That sounds like a great idea!

DieGrootHammer · February 2, 2018, 11:52am

I wonder who will now replace him?

Solitude · February 2, 2018, 11:53am

I wonder if Rassie will just be the director type person and work similarly to how Eddie Jones work with the England team.

wenzdayz · February 3, 2018, 8:29am

i think this is what will likely be happening. dont think they will be employing someone else right now

DieGrootHammer · February 5, 2018, 7:26am

So apparently it cost R1.8 million to axe Allister. Personally I think that’s a small price to pay to get rid of the worst performing Springbok coach the world has ever seen!

faniebraai · February 5, 2018, 10:09am

And he still has the balls to call Rassie “less than competent” haha

DieGrootHammer · February 5, 2018, 4:27pm

So, we fire Allister from his coaching duties, and immediately the Boks move up in the rankings.

Solitude · February 5, 2018, 4:53pm

Haha

Unfortunately looking at the rankings Wales will probably overtake us. And if Scotland improves then maybe they will do. However they were insanely bad this weekend.

DieGrootHammer · February 5, 2018, 4:58pm

Shhhhhhhhhhhh…just…be quiet…let us not get caught up in facts and actual logical reasoning. let us enjoy the fact that the first time the Springboks went up on the rankings was the moment Toetie got fired

Solitude · February 5, 2018, 5:00pm

Haha fair enough. Also what did you edit in my first post? Did I have a spelling mistake or something?

DieGrootHammer · February 5, 2018, 5:02pm

Nope just added the Sport tag.

Solitude · February 5, 2018, 5:04pm

Ah okay cool. Thanks!

faniebraai · February 7, 2018, 8:13am

Ok, seems like Solitude is dragging his feet with this, so here goes:

Started a group on telegram for when the games begin… public group so share with whomever you like

Solitude · February 7, 2018, 8:27am

Haha thanks @faniebraai,

Had it on my list of things to do. Absolutely swamped at the moment. I’m glad you posted it. Now I must just install telegram.
