Bulls butter-up Kaplan

The Vodacom Blue Bulls insist they have no problem with Jonathan Kaplan blowing the Absa Currie Cup final in Bloemfontein.

Kaplan was blamed by many in Bulls circles for costing them last year’s final at Loftus. While a number of his decisions were questioned after the game, it was his yellow card against Bryan Habana that received the most attention. The Cheetahs fought their way back into the game while the winger was off the field, going on to lift the trophy.

Predictably, however, the Bulls say they are pleased with Kaplan’s appointment for the rematch in Bloem.

Kaplan will be assisted along the touchlines by the two referees who handled the two semi-finals, Marius Jonker and JC Fortuin. Shaun Veldsman will be the TMO.

“Kaplan has been our referee only once this year [against the Pumas] and we spoke to him beforehand and have a good relationship with him,” Bulls coach Pote Human told the Pretoria News on Tuesday. “He is South Africa’s No 1 referee and we simply need to ensure our discipline is right on the day. After all, he can only ref what he sees on the field.”

    Pity some supporters do not follow the same action, still harping on almost 12 months on…!

    Hahaha davo, you said it!

  • 4. HoopsReply to this comment :

    I bet the bulls would just love to have Marius jonker or Martin Lawrence for the ref….not happening!!!!

  • 5. pietermanReply to this comment :

    Hello Koos
    Saterdag gaan weer lekker wees, of wat?
    Ek dink nie Kaplan gaan soveel voordeel blaas vir die Bloues soos Jonker laas week nie.

  • 6. ciccinoReply to this comment :

    Kaplan was the third wors ref this season in front of Manuels and Roos. He was out of form and havily critisized though the whole S14, internationals and didn’t well in the CC. But his reputation won him final. In my view the best was that young ref if i’m correct his name was Jubert.

  • 7. KoosReply to this comment :

    Yip dit gaan wees pieterman, soos ek gese het, na 29+ jaar kry ek nie my hoop op nie, sal die dag geniet en as ons wens is dit ‘n moerse bonus. Enige eindstryd is op sy beste ‘n 50/50 affere.

    Lekker Saterdag vir ons WP manne om te geniet. Raai wie gaan ons ondersteun?

  • 26. capebullReply to this comment :

    Naka played Kaplan like a violin. He’s biggest mistake last year was he should have sent off a Bull and a Cheetsa player early in the match.

    He was inconsistent in sending off Habana but not the FS wing for the same offense.

    He should stop Cheetsa’s from rotating props every ten minutes, like they did on Saturday again.

  • 27. ciccinoReply to this comment :

    GCC = qutoq

  • 32. DrunkmonkeyReply to this comment :

    Kaplan was last years hero for Cheatahs. The cheatahs players kept telling kaplan what to do … he had no control over the game whatsoever and clearly was influenced by the cheatah players.

    The bulls was on there way to another curriecup victory when sudenly kaplan started handing out yellow cards and penalties. Giving habana his first ever yellow card.

  • 33. folankeReply to this comment :

    The BB are a bunch of bully losers, and when they cannot bully they cannot win, simple as that, and like all bullies they fold when anyone actually stands up to them…and that is mainly WHY Freestate will and MUST win, so that justice can be served and righteousness restored to our national game, which is run by losers for losers…only Freestate can save SA rugby…VIVA Cheetahs !!!!

    Drunkmonkey – what a load of, er…. bull. If Roetsie and Fourie had taken care of the high kick, the bulls might very well have won. But they fucked it up. And paid the price. They were beaten fair and square. And it’s ungracious moaning such as yours that makes most posters here wish for another Cheetahs victory.

    Se hom katman, die manne se geheues is kort, hulle onthou net die telling en nie hoekom nie.

  • 37. katmanReply to this comment :

    Ja pieterman, dis makliker om vir Kaplan te blameer as vir hulle geliefde boys in blou.

    Last year we took the koppie playing with a fully U21 team against a full strenght bok or boks-to-be BB team…and still won…this should tell all BB supporters to get the hankies allready ready…

    Geluk vir die Bulls (vs WP), die beste span op die dag het gewen, met die help van die lugdruk, die middag afskop, die ref, die linesmanne, en die home field. hehe, ooh en Melck saam met hulle blou bul steaks.

    Hier kom moeilikheid Cheetsa’s

  • 50. folankeReply to this comment :

    The main reason why the BB are despised is their negative BAD rugby, which with the dirty play has dragged all SA rugby down for a decade, now with the Freestate on the up and set to take control all SA supporters can slowly regain pride and confidence in the national team, albeit only after the coming world cup fiasco…

    And as if Habana has done anything worthwhile on the field in the last year anycase, he is anonymous as is – no real loss you enjoyed when he was carded.

  • 57. william shakespeareReply to this comment :

    I hope Kaplan sorts out Jannie and Ollie – the 2 dirtiest players in SA rugby.

    No doubt Ollie will be whinging about everything to Kaplan, pointing fingers all over the place. Rassie is very smart and has instructed his players to do that all the time, putting pressure on Kaplan to hand out yellow cards.

    We will have to see if he falls for that again. Last year he did. This year I hope we can get a fair deal. A fair deal is all I am asking for.

    BB are dirty…they cannot play winning rugby…

  • 61. DavidReply to this comment :

    It’s rather sad that the only province that the rest of the country consistently complains about, regarding dirty play, is the one whose supporters consistently blame the ref for blowing them up.
    To be honest, if the ref blew for every Bulls infringement for off the ball incidents the game would probably run another 40 mins overtime for stoppages.

  • 62. BlueBloodReply to this comment :

    The message SA Rugby is sending here is clear: the Cheetahs must win the CC again. It may be because they feel public interest will be lost if the Blue Bulls win the CC.

    There is an even smaller chance of the Blue Bulls winning the CC now.

    kaplan hates the Blue Bulls and he hates the Waratahs. Last year the Blue Bulls lost three games and all three were reffed by kaplan. What is the Waratahs record now ? 11 losses in 12 games reffed ?

    kaplan was obviously bullied at school and he now sees the Blue Bulls as “bullies” and it is of course payback time. It is his way of getting revenge on the bullies who tormented him at school. It is a psycological problem and must be dealt with by a professional.These childhood issues must first be resolved before he can ref a game again.

    Hopefully this year he will see the Cheetahs punching the Blue Bulls players from the first whistle, and not ignore it until a Blue Bull retaliates.

    Hopefully this year he will take note of the oustretched arm of the linesman who saw jannie du plessis coming in from the side and punching a prone Blue Bull player. After a couple of minutes of being ignored by kaplan the linesman dropped his flag!

    Hopefully this year a Blue Bulls player won’t get a yellow card for a legal tackle. I can just imagine kaplan thinking to himself “come on i’m itching to give a Blue Bulls player a yellow, wheres my chance? wheres my gap ? ahh theres Habana”

    kaplan is 100% cheetah biased. Of this there is no doubt. Only if the Blue Bulls play their best game in the last 5 years could they win the CC, and even then it would take a lot of luck.

    Bad news this for the BB.

  • 73. katmanReply to this comment :

    True David. I reckon refs have been way too leniant on Bulls players. It’s as though they believe it would be too harsh to card more than one player at a time. Often the Bulls have deserved to have 2 or 3 off the field at once. But Kaplan won’t put up with it. I’d like to see JP or Mullet Delport try their **** again.

  • 89. ShosolozaReply to this comment :

    wel, eintlik simpatiseer ek vir die anti- bul ondersteuners. As die wp/ ovs/ leeus vir 5 jaar in ‘n ry hul o19 en o21 en senior span in die finaal gespeel het sou ek seker ook soveel haat teenoor hulle ge-openbaar het.

    Om dinge te vererger het die bulls se o19 en 021 die vorige 4 gewen (o21 het in 2002 gedeel met leeus) en die senior span 3 van die vorige 4.

    dan is dit die jaar die 2de jaar in ‘n ry dat al 5 spanne in die finaal is, d.i. amateur en vrouliga.

    dan het die bulle reeds die voueliga gewen asook die cravenweek.

    kan julle ouens dink hou vuil en dom die bulle en hulle ondersteuners gaan wees as die bulle saterdag die amateur, o19, o21 en senoir liga wen.

    Fok, dit moet bad wees om nie ‘n bul te wees nie.

    I don’t think the complaint is so much about the odd retaliation, which shows a lack of discipline, but the cynical late tackles designed to inflict damage and the general foulplay around the rucks and mauls.
    Delports pushing Aplons face hard into the ground could have resulted in a broken nose, and for what? Those are the things that sicken the other teams.
    The best way to avoid the Cheetahs complaining to the ref is not to break the rules. If you do and get caught don’t blame the opposition and the ref.

  • 94. BlueBloodReply to this comment :

    Ig,

    kaplan reffing the world cup final would be like robert mugabe chairing a summit on human rights.

    you see, now I am getting worked up again about this little gnat kaplan. why is he reffing the final anyway ? who decides these things ? surely it must be performance based, which totally excludes the mindless midget.

    watson will probably now protect his little prodigy, because obviously kaplan has been earmarked to replace watson in the future.

    To all the clever people, would you rather enter the cc final as underdogs or as favourates.

    Clearly the Cheetas are favourates:

    *Leon Schuster
    *Naka
    *Kaplan
    *Most points in cc
    *Best looking team
    *only 4000 tickets for bulls fans
    *Already lost 3 times to Bulls
    *According to the rest of SA ( and Ollie) the bulls are the worst ever team that played the game.

    Surely the Cheetas are hot favourates….maar, EK bly ‘n BUL

    PA , It all depends on “smaak” ,

    I like a ref that communicates better than Kaplan. He sometimes would let players carry on and then award penalties without saying a thing .

    Other refs would communicate -coach players all the time.

    But maybe he’s right players should know the rules.

    CapeBull,

    I guess it is preference – personally I hate it when refs coach players.

    How many times do you need to tell a Richie McCaw: “hands off, hands off, ruck, hands off, han….”

    Sê my ,kuier die ouens darem nog na die game as hulle so ‘n grote verloor het?

  • 116. FredReply to this comment :

    Well I am not too worried about Kaplan this Saturday because I have been watching Gary Botha on the field. He communicates quite a lot with the ref and I don’t think he will be so nice just to stand back and take it. (If he is captain it has to be said).

    What happened last year is history. The Currie Cup needs to be won again on Saturday. New year, new final and hopefully a new outcome!!!

  • 117. caneReply to this comment :

    PA (post98).

    “Kaplan is the best Ref in SA”

    correction.

    He is the best in the World.

    -decisive.
    -lets game flow wherever possible.
    -Internationally, hugely admired.
    -communicates with players concisely and clearly.
    -fit.
    -fair.
    -takes no nonsense.

    What more could you want?

  • 118. finmasterReply to this comment :

    As I have said even before knowing who’s going to handle the whistle, the Cheetahs, or any other SA team, haven’t got a chance unless we get international refs or Jonathan Kaplan.

    It may make a couple of Bulls fans a bit hot under the collor, but the sad fact of the matter is that the SA refs are to scared to penalise the Bulls for the dirty mofo’s they are.

    There is no need to explain this just go and watch ANY of their games (objectively) against all the bigger unions.

    *Punching
    *Joining the ruck with a leading fist
    *Joining the Ruck with a leading shoulder
    *Off the ball incidents:
    -Watch their reactions after each and every Cheetah try 2 weeks ago
    -Pushing players faces into the ground.
    -Overrobust tackling after the ball has crossed the touchline…….
    The list goes on….

    Having said that, I believe they can beat the Cheetahs, unfortunately Kaplan will have them playing with 14 men for large parts of the game.

    I hope they clean up their act and keep it clean so I can waste my time with issues that really matter.

  • 129. PissAntReply to this comment :

    Blouste,

    Pleasure, but do not get too excited.

    Pumas and Valke’s yellows are largely due to repeated infringements and slowing the ball down because they are outgunned so many times.

    Sharks and the other big boys is more for professional fouls and off the ball stuff.

    If it was not for JP Nel, the Bulls cards would have been 3…

  • 158. capebullReply to this comment :

    talking about Gary ’s captaincy I think he’s great. Who spotted that on Saturday when he got a penalty against them , he asked the ref, the ref said talk to your players , he then asked weather the ref will stop play while gary’s talking. ( learned from Boks vs Ir )

  • 159. PissAntReply to this comment :

    I know he is probably the most disliked player since Andrew Mehrtens who gave you guys the finger at Loftus (or was it Ellis) so no worries Steyn.

    But if you talk windgat, dont forget that Delport of yours!!!

    Spies kry bal waarmee pa wendrie druk
    Oct 09 2006 08:40:50:383PM – (SA)

    Morris Gilbert

    ’n Rugbybal wat 31 jaar gelede ’n wendrie in die geskiedenis van Curriebeker-eindstryde verewig het, word Vrydagaand ’n erfenis vir Pierre Spies, skitterende jong Springbok-losvoorspeler van die Blou Bulle.

    Sy pa, Pierre sr., het in die 1975-eindstryd, ook in Bloemfontein, met ’n skouspelagtige drie in beseringstyd die wenpunte vir Noord-Transvaal teen die Vrystaat behaal (12-6).

    Dié bal waarmee Spies die wendrie en Keith Thorissen die daaropvolgende doelskop behaal het, is deur Joubert Strydom, een van die baljoggies, opgeraap en as ’n aandenking gehou.

    Strydom, wat Noord-Transvaal, Transvaal en die Vrystaat op die krieketveld verteenwoordig het, is die seun van Steve, wat diep spore in Vrystaat-rugby getrap het en as skeidsregter eens die houer vir die meeste toetse en Curriebeker-eindstryde was. Nou het Strydom (Joubert) dit goed gedink om die bal Vrydagaand tydens ’n spesiale gelentheid aan Spies te oorhandig. Thys Lourens, die Bulle se kaptein in die 1975-eindstryd, sal dit bywoon.

    Spies jr. sal dié gebaar hoog op prys stel omdat sy pa só ’n groot rol in sy rugbyloopbaan gespeel het. Hy is twee jaar gelede skielik aan ’n hartaanval oorlede.

    Spies het die hele land aan die praat met sy skitterspel.

    Hy is in die Bulle se laaste twee wedstryde (teen die Cheetahs en die Westelike Provinsie) as speler van die wedstryd aangewys. Heyneke Meyer, hoofafrigter van die Bulle, gee egter die versekering dat die 21-jarige Spies nie deur sy nuutverworwe roem oorweldig sal word nie.

    “Ons doen van ons kant af alles om hom te help om die slaggate wat deel is van bekend wees, mis te trap.

    “Gelukkig is hy self baie sterk in die kop en bied sy familie hom ’n sterk ondersteuningsbasis,” meen Meyer.

    Supa you have reason to be concerned.

    For an entire year kaplan has been planning for this Saturday. He has concocted a masterplan to not only ensure a Blue Bulls loss, but also to be called a “legend” again afterwards.

    The clueless wonder has already drawn up his blueprints for a blue defeat. This time next week he will be laughing somewhere in the bahamas about he has worked the “bullies” over again.

    How did this happen ? How did it come about ? There must be things happening behind the curtain.
