Can`t Watch Them Live

I get too agitated watching the Eels live--my heart can`t stand it! So I watched a movie on FOX--Zulu- about the defence of Rork`s Drift in South Africa 1879, full of pride and duty done.Most VC`s earned in a single battle, When it finished I turned over to read the score fully expecting a big defeat by Canterbury.I was bowled over by the result. Judging by the comments on here, the pride and the achievement against all odds ranks with Rorks` Drift. I can`t see a replay until 9.0am tomorrow morning but will watch every moment of it. It must have been one of our great wins in our history.

  • Ha great blog mate, Zulu was my dads fav movie, i watched it with him as a little kid about 5 or 6, i was completely gripped by it, ive watched it many times since and it holds a special place in my heart, it was a great win Rob.

    • Snake, I love that movie too.

      100 odd men armed with guns vs 10000 Zulus armed with only spears. Great movie.

  • LOL C'mon Rob, stop the lame jokes!!! Is that the Michael Caine movie? Seriously, not watching the game is woeful.
    •  I would have been dead years ago if I watched them live on TV. At a game though, I have no problems --can`t explain why. Just think though, you have had thrill tonight and still you are crappy. My thrill will come tomorrow morning and I will look upon the whole world with affection--eat your heart out! Yes, it was the Michael Cain version.

"I did modern day as 1998 onwards as I didn't see them play, as some here haven't. Where I believe majority of people here have seen all the modern day players play.
Plus it frees up some spots like we all know who 5/8 will be but now no idea."
