Whilst chatting to a few mates last night we came upon the subject of sour grapes or losing gracefully to put it bluntly.
The topic came about after they noticed on nadoes.com that nothing had been mentioned about the fact that we lost the final to The Cobra's. What they were basically saying was, where or who are you when you lose ? Its fine to put up things and celebrate winning but we must be magnanimous in defeat too. I cant agree more to their sentiments.
Losing has always been the hardest thing to deal with for me. Watching another team or player celebrate what you believed was yours. I am hard to deal with during the first half hour after a defeat but then it all seems to blur a bit, maybe its the beers, and I mellow enough to a level status. Probably not what normal people call a level status but hey who wants to be normal anyway.
The other grapes which has just come out and will no doubt be solved by the end of today or maybe tomorrow is the fact that WP have lodged a complaint about Hennie Danillier playing for two provinces on the same weekend. Province are checking the ruling which apparently it states a player can represent different provinces ( in different divisions ) but not on the same weekend.
Sounds like the Internal league final all over again, just checking who we actually played the Cobra's or the Rest of the League..?
Sour Grapes ?
