Clearlythere is a conspiracy with officials to keep B.C. and Calgary alive by outrageous calls in both games by officials. :cowboy: What is it with such favouritism with the Leos and Stamps by league officials. Surely both teams would have lost had not the refs come to the rescue more times than James Bond, Superman, Mighty Mouse and Batman combined!!! C'mon guys give the rest of the teams a break!!! :thdn: :roll:
Riders Rule!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You found your exclamation button I see, get some new material already.
I can't speak for the BC vs Eskies game, but I was at the Stamps game last night. The ref's are in Calgary's corner? They had more penalties for way more penalty yardage than the Argos did on the night. The Argos just never capitalized on their chances when they got deeper into Calgary territory. I guess botched snaps by the Argos and Kerry Joseph throwing the ball up for grabs numerous times is also the refs fault too! Just for this nonsense thread, I hope the Als smack the Riders tomorrow! Geez, what's up with the Rider nation since last year? You guys have certainly become major smack talkers moreso than ever I've noticed. Don't mind fans pulling for their home team, but maybe just because I live in Calgary and 20% are Sask immigrants here, I notice it's getting a more & more obnoxious when you guys come to town lately. If Montreal does not serve you some humble pie tomorrow, I know the Stamps will when the Riders come to town on the August long weekend!
Agreed! Eating humble pie can be a good lesson in humility. However, stirring up the CFL competitive soul's in fans is delicious smack nonetheless!!!!!!!!!! See you on the field Stumpeders and here is another exclamation point for you and yur stumpeder nation - ha! :cowboy:
Rider Pride Nation Wide
Riders Rule - 1st place in West!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :rockin:
3 grey cups in 70 years ! Rider fans ,should still have paper. bags on their heads !
There are more Rider fans accross Canada than any other team. Thats a given, according to news media. Why is it then, that there is so much animosity against that team. It's like those who are not on the bandwagon are extremly jealous of them. You can see it in these posts. Being that I was born in Calgary and grew up here I saw a team I really liked in the 60's and 70's. It was the riders and they became my team. You don't have to cheer for your home town team, cheer for the team you most admire.
I now live in Saskatchewan and love it here. Great hunting, fishing, football team. The people are in fact the friendliest I have meet accross the country.(Actually I have only lived in 5 provinces and never been to the maritimes so I cannot judge them.)
no its watermelons on their heads
paper bags are for the lions fans
having the most fans does not make a team the best... for example, nickleback has the most music fans in Canada and they suck... soccer has the most fans in the werld, and i know what most people here think of soccer... the most popular beer in saskatchewan is pilsner... and well, thats like drinking toilet water... im happy the riders have a great fan base, but they still are aweful, just like many popular things. (did they sell out there first game this year, i dont remember. they must have, because of the huge fan base though) we talked a while ago about the stamps bandwagon this year in a thread. that was rad. when they lost the first two games, i got some more shoulder room on the wago, i hope all teams get a great fan base. i mean all the teams went through rough times... someone mentioned earlier about the telathon to save the stamps... argos went almost bankrupt a few years back... but i think its time to stop with the best fan base thing.
now the actual thread topic... the oficiating isnt near as bad as last year. the lions edmonton game was i felt fairly dirty... on both sides of the ball, and the refs let them play it out until the third quarter. last nights game, i fel tthe reffing seemed fine. it seems the argos need to control there agression a little, but the stamps has penalties for almost doubel yards then the argos. so forget this crap about refs chosing sides. theres no conspiricy... what about that awful call in the winipeg game against calgary that basicly cost a touchdown. or how about edmonton not getting called when buck went down? if the refs were pro BC, i think that would have got called(not saying it was a clean hit or not, just saying if the refs were bc bound, they would have callled a penalty).
So…how was that humble pie anyways !! :lol:
I actually like Pilsner ... it's my secret shame.
I would suspect that TB is trying to avert attention away from that debacle that the Riders dished up against the AL's. What else could explain such a ridiculous statement. But again.......... look who made it ha ha.
PS: Hey Turkey I don't expect the Riders will be in first for very long :cowboy: :cowboy:
Go Stamps Go :rockin:
I like their promotions and support of the CFL/Riders, not their beer
Ahhh that was funny, thanks for the laugh!
Hey not to get off topic but does anyone know what happened to RW05? Not to many Stamp fans here and it appears we lost another. KInda boring without him.
Where are you RW05
In hiding after the 2 opening season losses and in a state of depression maybe. 8)
But honestly, I hope he's ok, really. :thup:
In a far better place…
What does that mean, he belongs to a different CFL forum now?
Yes.
