Today was THE match day for Romania at the Arcul de Triumf Stadium.
Romania faced France in the IRB Cup as its second match. Hands down, it was the most exciting match I’ve had the pleasure of seeing live this year. We didn’t win, but who cares when you see your national team play such beautiful rugby against France’s A team?

France A scored two transformed tries before Romania finally woke up, after wards it was rugby at its best. We’ve had 3 hits, one great try which we transformed, and Romania was at 16, down by one point only. Unfortunately for Romania, when facing such an experienced team, one point might as well be 10, France scored another hit and the score was 16 – 20.

Have I mentioned that Romania played the nicest rugby of their year so far? I did, but I felt the need to emphasize it since today I am proud of our guys.

Thanks France and Romania for providing us with such an awesome match tonight!

Mbon, pe data de 20 ianuarie a intrat in vigoare legea 298/2008. O lege menita sa ne apere de… tananaaaa (tobe, trompete si alte alea)… TERORISM! Ii mai pasa cuiva de libertatile personale? De faptul ca in Constitutia Romaniei este garantat ca “secretul scrisorilor, al telegramelor, al altor trimiteri postale, al convorbirilor telefonice si al celorlalte mijloace legale de comunicare este inviolabil”? De oamenii care credeau ca mor in ‘89 pentru ca urmasii lor sa aiba o viata mai buna, dar de fapt singura consecinta a fost ca cele doua vite care rezidau in Casa Poporului au fost inlocuite de o cireada?
[ironie] Cui sa ii mai pese cand amenintarea TERORISMULUI pluteste asupra noastra? [/ironie]

George Carlin a spus la un moment dat o chestie foarte desteapta: “As far as I’m concerned, all of this airport security – the cameras, the questions, the screening, the searches, is just one more way of reducing your liberty and reminding you they can fuck with you anytime they want, as long as you’re willing to put up with it. Which means, of course, anytime they want. Because that’s the way Americans are now. They’re always willing to trade away a little of their freedom for the feeling – the illusion – of security.”
S-ar aplica si la noi, doar ca e o mica problema, noi nu avem terorismul sau o alta amenintare in genul pe cap. Noi avem doar tonti, lasi si analfabeti la conducere – aia e.
