Its well understood, don't worry. Just checking. He was a classics major....far more refined than a Simpsons fan.
For one teeny moment, I thought you were suggesting that he was very significantly (massive) favouring the home side (homer), but glad that this was not the case!!
Now off to listen to Nigel on the desert island on iplayer. He talks a lot of sense about rugby and life.
What does "the ref was a massive homer" mean.....a fan of the Simpsons?

How do I install that thing that blocks your pathetic gibberish?
Nmb, that is exactly the same as the English supporters,plus you can also add in the "reasons" why you lose...always somebody else's fault,see post Welsh grand slam STW for example,although in all fairness you were only following the coaches lead after he went public with what EVERY other team does quietly. Some might even call that "arrogance."
The ref wasn't homer in the slightest - he was just rubbish.
Calm down chaps.
Its only a game 😉
^^Somebody got out of the right side of the bed this morning! ^^
The funny thing was, I thought AA had written that the ref has a massive boner at first. That would have explained the worried looks on the players faces better
"Are you signalling advantage, or just pleased to see me?"
Just remind me how French their 2 wingers were yesterday??
In my car today, 5 live was drivel, so flicking channels I discovered Nigel Owens on Desert Island Discs. An insightful, honest and open view into his life & troubles.
Edit : just spotted the other thread.
Indeed CFH - the 6 nations table makes delightful reading in this mornings papers.
1 Scotland
2 England
3 France
4 Ireland
5 Italy
6 Wales
Why isn't the roof closed?
😉

No, the French have decided to only pick French players from now on, not restrospectively.
You can't blame the players themselves. They're just working with the system.
Nathan Hughes openly stated it was a financial decision to play for England rather than Fiji and you can't disagree.
Someone like Sean Maitland was close to ABs selection but never made it so used the rules to play international rugby.
Ben Te'o, purely following the next pay cheque.
Private International Law uses the concept of domicile as "the country with which you have the closest and most real connection". THey should apply that to rugby.
Anthems...adverts...
URGH. ITV rugby.
At least it's not Cotter and Nicoll. Look on the bright side Captain.
15-love to George North.
Well said JP!
I agree - normally it's Biggar appealing like a footballer though!
Urgh.
Italy worth their half time lead. Wales annoying the ref altho he does seem to have got out of bed the wrong side today.
Italy running out of steam?
Have refs given up with being behind the kicker at restarts and open play? It's like the scrum feeds!!
"****ing hell ref" 😆
not the best game for wales, but as mentioned at least this seems like anyone's tournament so far no stand out favourite at all IMO.
Wales are going to win this, but they've got major problems up front, with the Italians making a right mess of them in the scrum.
"**** hell ref"
Don't swear now, you're on telly mun!
That swearing was a two drink incident!

better late than never
Gorgeous George!!!
Winning is good. But Wales weren't great!
Well done Wales - at least 2H
Thanks for not taking the bonus point, very sporting!
Get some ice of North's hamstring pronto. That was making me wince watching him run like that! Bravo
AWJ putting a good card down for midweek Lions captain ?
Been out on my bike what did I miss?
What happend to Biggar? Sammy Davies juniorcwas good but can we risk him v the orc hoard?
Hope George is ok.
Phew will take that.
Indeed, perennial slow starters so to be in with a shout of a bonus point was pretty good going
And Ospreys put one over on Wasps away, happy about that.
Lions round 1, pure scrummaging
Jack McGrath and Tadhg Furlong in the front row.
Rather good yesterday at Murray field in dismantling the Scots scrum.
Furlong is a proper prop. A real talent in the scrum, a technical joy.
Good point Vondally so

Russell???
Need to decide in first choice goal kicker early, then other positions can be filled in
2: J George 😉
5: G Kruise
AWJ as mid week captain
4: AWJ (Cpt)
7: Tipuric
9: Gareth Davies
12: Scott Williams
Not that I'm biased. 😉
Both Tipuric and Hovis were excellent today. AWJ rock like as per.
Kruise
Lots of unecessary e's today...
I thought he was broken? Launchbury was good yesterday I thought.
AWJ as mid week captain
I saw it first time thanks...rancid
He is but should be there for the Lions, Launchberry was blowing too much for my liking, but played ok
But itoje and Kruis should be the second row - hence AWJ cannot guarantee his place, hence MW Capitain....
Itoje@6 wasn't a total disaster. He was still probably England's best forward in a pack that was comprehensively outplayed for a lot of the match.
Jamie George was possibly the best hooker on show but we'll see where Hartley is once he has a few games under his belt.
Kruis out for 3 months which means he won't be playing again before the Lions squad is named on April 19th.
we'll see where Hartley is once he has a few games under his belt.
