Bulls butter-up Kaplan
10 Oct 2006
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.”

But their fans will be whinging after the get pumped.

Pity some supporters do not follow the same action, still harping on almost 12 months on…!
10 Oct 2006, 06:51 am
Hahaha davo, you said it!
10 Oct 2006, 06:53 am
I bet the bulls would just love to have Marius jonker or Martin Lawrence for the ref….not happening!!!!

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.

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.

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.
10 Oct 2006, 07:08 am
Vet weet ciccino, it must be the worst feeling ‘slukking gal’ for 12 months?!
10 Oct 2006, 07:09 am
Koos, ja, baie gelykop. Maar dit gaan kwaai wees, n paar lekker duals om na uit sien, bv. Burger/Delport.
10 Oct 2006, 07:10 am
Speak english if you want me to understand your postings. The only phrase in africaans I know is MAAK DIE BULLE ALMAL BOKKE
10 Oct 2006, 07:13 am
ciccino, don’t fret, not important!
Kan jy die game sien pieter?

Bokkerol rugby, net sokker!!!
10 Oct 2006, 07:21 am
KEO – Could we please have some news from the Bok “camp”. How is their fitness, conditioning going? How are the injuries? How is Schalk coming along? After the announcement of the squad when do they get together? When do they fly out? etc etc?

More more
Hoekom blaas Tappe nie??? hehehe
Pieterman, Burger en Delport is seker die 2 windgatste jong vleuels in die land. Maar dan is hulle ook 2 van die min bleek gesigte wat nog vleuel speel. LOL. SAVE THE WHITE WING!!!
10 Oct 2006, 07:23 am
Hello KP
Sowaar, nog nie so daaraan gedink nie.
10 Oct 2006, 07:23 am
Sorry Pieterman, dit lyk asof ek se jy is net so windgat soos daai twee apies. Ek praat eintlik met jou, nie van jou nie.
10 Oct 2006, 07:24 am
Sal maar moet sien of ek ‘n oop pub iewers kry anders is dit ek en jy en die internet pieter! Ten minste het ek opsies.
10 Oct 2006, 07:25 am
KP
eheheh, nee ek weet wat jy bedoel.
10 Oct 2006, 07:25 am
En weet jy hoe het ek uitgesien na ons moerse braai as die semis of finale op Nuweland was!!! As ek nou in ‘n WP speler of afrigter/bestuurder vasloop, gee ek hom sommer ‘n snotklap.

Ja man, ek het nogal n paar ouens ‘opgeline’ gehad om my parkeerplek en boom vir die braai oop te hou daar agter die skoolveld.
Ou Jinx is net so teleurgesteld en GBS wou afvlieg. Maar nouja…anderdag.
Sal laat weet wanneer ek in SA aanland.
10 Oct 2006, 07:52 am
Still dont understand why the Bulls blame him, he didn’t bump du Preez and Roets out of the way when they messed up the high ball?
10 Oct 2006, 07:54 am
How do you know when you’r a WP Supporter.
When you mow your lawn and you find a car!!!!!!!!!!
10 Oct 2006, 07:58 am
I blame him for letting Drotzke to ref the game.
10 Oct 2006, 08:04 am

10 Oct 2006, 08:06 am
Hello Steyntjie en GCC.
Lekker Saterdag vir ons WP manne om te geniet. Raai wie gaan ons ondersteun?
10 Oct 2006, 08:07 am
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.
10 Oct 2006, 08:07 am
GCC = qutoq
10 Oct 2006, 08:10 am
Pieterman hoekom raai ,ons weet mos net ons , die bulls ondersteuners, ondersteun die Bulls…
Dit pla ons min dat julle ons nie support nie.
10 Oct 2006, 08:10 am
ciccino, please check – I think someone has swopped some of your keyboard’s keys around. Your typing seems a little random this morning.
10 Oct 2006, 08:13 am
Katman,
Qutoq is a word in uzbek my mothertoung. This is an answear to GCC who refered to me in a africaans that I don’t understand. I tryed tolet him feel the same.
10 Oct 2006, 08:13 am
tryed to make him feel the same
10 Oct 2006, 08:14 am
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.
10 Oct 2006, 08:15 am
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 !!!!

Ag nee man, raai jy wragtig raak met die eerste probeerslag en bederf jy die hele raaisel!
Dit was n gelukskoot, erken maar.
10 Oct 2006, 08:20 am
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.
10 Oct 2006, 08:21 am
Se hom katman, die manne se geheues is kort, hulle onthou net die telling en nie hoekom nie.
10 Oct 2006, 08:24 am
Ja pieterman, dis makliker om vir Kaplan te blameer as vir hulle geliefde boys in blou.
10 Oct 2006, 08:24 am
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…
10 Oct 2006, 08:25 am
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.
10 Oct 2006, 08:25 am
Pieterman , ek dink dit is makliker om Lotto te wen as om te raai vir wie jy skreeu,
Ek bly ‘n Bul
10 Oct 2006, 08:26 am
I expect the cheatahs to tell kaplan what to do like last year. Lets see if kaplan is MAN enough to ref this game fairly and not be dictated by a bunch of cheaters.
10 Oct 2006, 08:27 am
Froulanke. ja soos FS teen Cruasders 65-0 ons is op die regte pad ja.
10 Oct 2006, 08:27 am
Kaplan ken net 3 woorde:
LEAVE IT BLUE
10 Oct 2006, 08:29 am
Mooi man mooi…BB wanna-be supporters are allready hensopping…
10 Oct 2006, 08:30 am
All these bullyboys already writing their own obituaries and it’s only Tuesday. Sies tog.
10 Oct 2006, 08:32 am
katie en pieter … onthou net daai driee het gekom NADAT Habana afgestuur was. Selfs die rugby komentators het dit bevraag. Ja anders sou die Klomp cheatars nooit gewen het nie.
10 Oct 2006, 08:33 am
4kleur jy is reg
10 Oct 2006, 08:34 am
i’d love to hear the bulls reaction if fortuin was ref on sat
10 Oct 2006, 08:35 am
Dit sal Saterdag 31 jaar terug wees dat Piere Spies se pa die wen drie vir Bulls teen Fs gedruk het. Dit is Saterdag Spies se eerste eindstryd.
Steve Strydom oorhandig Vrydagaand die bal waarmee sy pa die drie gedruk het op ‘n funksie aan Piere.
Hier kom moeilikheid Cheetsa’s
10 Oct 2006, 08:35 am
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…
