In reply to: Birmingham Post 's message, "Match Report from Brian Dick" on "Mon, Apr 11 2011, 11:33:26 GMT"

hey guys, just read the report and am a confused as to what this means :

'And off the pitch? There have been times when these neighbours have met in the recent past that tribalism has overstepped the mark, where decency has been sacrificed on the altar of parochialism.

This, though, an occasion replete with more than enough opportunities to indulge in schadenfreude, was different. There was no triumphalism from the Moseley supporters.'

My GCSE english qualification isn't quite enough to understand some of the words in this report

We all said yesterday that even if we scored 150 points against bees he would find negatives with us !!!! Let's face it he is a bees fan and doesn't like us but he still comes back to our club after match for drinks even though he interviewed players/ coaches after game on the pitch ???

Anyway who cares we won , we deserved to be in th championship they didn't !!!!!

I think the Dick's comments are unusally complimentary in this instance. There was a golden opportunity to rub some B&S faces in the dust yesterday after some less than friendly rivalry between the 2 clubs in the past but the retraint shows how real rugby people behave even when their rivals are down. I for one don't remember some Bees supporters having behaved in a similar way when the siuation was reversed.
The rest of his article is perfect sense. We've just escaped relegation; with a well funded replacement for Bees coming up from Nat 1 next year things will be even tougher. In fairness with the swuad we assembled this season it's a situation we should never have been in.
