Tuesday 25 October: PNG vs Cook Islands KO 19:30 BST

[JohnM]

The official World Cup chart shows Women's Final, Wheelchair Final, Men's Final .

I'm using the time between now and the next game to campaign to correct this affront,so it reads Players Final, Players Final and Players Final.

OK.  All seems a little complicated just so the words man and woman can be used.

I'm happy that the tournament has decided to go for the simple and easy option.

Good for you, not least because it's so unusual to see the word "happy" on a rugby league forum.

MODERATION NOTE

Enough of the politicking and culture war stuff. There's just too much of it to moderate without locking the thread or making it nonsense. I'll leave it open but any political stuff or culture war willy (or lack of willy) waggling will see their post deleted regardless of how much time you've spent making yourself angry over something you read on the internet.

Can I just kindly and respectfully comment that Gammon refers to skin colour. Comments like that have no place in this forum . Let’s all be civil please .

I’m deeply offended with your use of the term “man” in “get with it man.”

The word Person would be more appropriate.

No need. Read the terms and conditions. The mods, who actually have proper full-time jobs as well, I think,  do an excellent job even if from time to time they get exasperated and short-tempered when we don't agree with their decisions and actions.

Stay away from the politics sub forum, though, like I do, for there be SJW dragons there,  coming in from the left.

No it doesn’t, it refers to a certain state of mind and people with a certain view of the world/country 

don’t try to make out that word is a racial thing because you know its not

describes a flushed face of people of a certain demographic. See below from Wikipedia.
 

In 2018, it became particularly known as a term to describe either those on the political right or those who supported Brexit.^[1][4] Due to its referencing of skin colour, there is controversy as to whether the term is racist.^[a]
 

^{probably just best to avoid the term . Should we all get back to PNG V Cooks . Very enjoyable game , PNG age a couple of players of a really decent outfit, very enjoyable watching them play .}

Good win for PNG 

[ivans82]

PNG need to be careful with their discipline later on in the Comp , but the match perfectly proved yet again that a decent half back pairing and a good kicking game win matches , the Cook Islands had neither .

Came in to discuss last nights match and found 4 pages of discussion about the use of the phrase 'player of the Match'. Some of you guys need to get out more

Indeed they do.

To a World Cup game, preferably, then they could discuss it here instead of derailing the MATCH DISCUSSION thread with off topic tripe.

This thread is too far gone to salvage now, so I'm locking it.

If anyone wants to continue discussing this particular game, please feel free to start a new thread.

To those who have indulged themselves dragging it off topic, if it happens again on here, I'll be dishing bans out till it stops.

FAO: Everyone. If you see threads veering off topic like this one has, please report the problem asap, so we can deal with it before it gets too out of hand.

Thanks.
