[QUOTE="Cruz_del_Sur, post: 797719, member: 55747"] [url]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Campeonato_Argentino[/url] That would be the closest equivalent we have to the Currie cup. Level is not quite the same thou. I am not sure UAR can afford that right now. IMO, load of general cliches. Just to give you an idea of the bias, our second largest newspaper had two pieces talking about how it was still possible for the jaguares to qualify for the play-offs. I am not talking March, but last week. I kid you not. Anyone with two functional brain cells pretty knew we were out after the stormers game. They feed in unrealistic expectations and are incredibly lenient with their performances. Most of the pundits in tv shows are kinda [I]friendish [/I]with Jaguares'/UAR's management and won't be overly critical either. Not saying this explains the result in any way but it does shape, to a point, public opinion. I'd say a considerable amount of followers genuinely believe the ref cost us the game. It's as if we believe being critical and being supportive were mutually exclusive. I hate that to be honest. I'm harsh with them [I]precisely [/I]because i support them. I want them to improve. In that sense, i really like the Irish approach. They are generally [I]incredibly[/I] critical of their performances and no one will even fathom considering a criticism as a lack of allegiance to their team. [/QUOTE]
