Funny - Jim Telfer: 'Speak English'

[haig271]

what a god

[chanctonbury63]

Venter is only surpassed by Jamie Joseph as cheap shot world champion. They both stand head and shoulders above the rest.

[NaeeanFaletui]

hahaha classic.

[ConservationPhoto]

Ha! Why sit in the stands during a lions series (always played away from home/friendly crowds) if you're going to get annoyed with opposition supporters who will all have had a few drinks before the game? That's amazing. The mind boggles!

[boykie24]

effing pommie! speak english, jou ma se.......

[349quinman]

Good for you Jim.

[sharpnup]

ha ha bloody funny.

2 Great coaches, which they were Kiwis!

Brilliant!

[TDaViEzZ1994]

"Speak English"

"Shhh! Just watch the rugby." XD Telfer and Geech are true legends.

[greenroadster]

Telfer is a bloody legend !

[mytros1]

Oh c'mon for goodness sakes!! Lying on the wrong side AND holding on. What's happening to the world?! Don't moan! If you want to braek the rules, you have to take your punishment like a man.

And I'm not talking about Venter here.

[ragers66]

That was funny! Jim Telfer....good player, good coach and passionate rugger man!

He brought a pretty decent Scottish team to NZ back in '81. Was well respected back then too!

Andre Venter was a good footie player but yep....dirty bastard! That's test footie I suppose.

[noATM1]

at least they werent as bad as the french women in front of martin johnson at the stade de france last year

[FTMJarra]

@noATM1 That was Rafa Ibanez's mother-in-law....haha

[feederback]

Is that Pik Botha sitting in front of McGeechan smiling?????.....lol.

[budwhite1]

@feederback

Smiling cause the boks lost the series ??? interesting...

[feederback]

@budwhite1

Maybe at JTs comments, but in a word no I suppose.

[budwhite1]

Teams on the way down = South Africa, Australia, Ireland and Wales. Teams on the way up = England, France, Scotland and Argentina. I'm not including the All Blacks because they exist in a parallel universe of perfect rugby.

[djReez793]

@budwhite1 i think wales have hit rock bottom to be honest i think with the new laws it might suit us but im not sure well see in the autum internationals but the real test will be the six nations

[robsargent4]

@djReez793 Mind you, people have been saying that "things will improve" in Scottish rugby for more than 10 years now (most of my short life in fact).

[robsargent4]

@djReez793 Sorry I replied to the wrong person.

[robsargent4]

@budwhite1 Haha - Scotland on the way up? Well see about that won't we? The 6 nations was bloody awful from a Scot's point of view (I'm Scottish by the way). Things can only get better, eh? Certainly hope so.

[Groyneyvision]

They're like a married couple, with wifey Geech telling macho man Jim "Don't talk to him, he's not worth it" trying to stop a pub fight! There is not a set of nails that's ever been made yet which is anywhere near as hard as Jim Telfer. And Ian McGeechan has such an intelligence, such an ability to read the games and player's minds. They complemented each other brilliantly.

[robertjohnson487]

COACHES SITTING IN THE STANDS??? SAD! THE WOMAN SHOULD HAVE SLAPPED THAT ARROGANT SHITE!

[colino1965]

Jin Telfer whit a man!

[mattjones969]

@colino1965 hes a fucking animal :D id do anything to have a coach like him

[NeilTheFerret1]

that was a deffo red card, how the fuck did he not get sent off for that ??

[roquefort88888]

LOL - comedy duo.

Telfer is funny as fuck.

[sauceron]

Ha, so some of the scottish do have a sense of humour!!!

[robsargent4]

@sauceron Of course, that's one of our trademarks (especially in the West of Scotland - but then I'm a bit biased).

[robsargent4]

@sauceron That said, Jim Telfer's clearly from the Borders. I suppose they've got a sense of humour there too.

[phantomship]

haha brilliant!

[SpadesLanD]

see how geech elbows telfer XD

[Markvdl25]

there is only one Jim Telfer

[Conero08]

lol 2 wise old men

[dogman008]

superhooper1983 watch living with the lions 1997 its full of it

[0wil93]

jim is a fucking hero son.

[dumbirish03]

Ian McGeechan encompasses everything good and cool about rugby

[FuckingFurious]

"Speak English"? That's funny coming from a Scottish person.

[robsargent4]

@FuckingFurious What language is he speaking then? Doesn't sound like Scots or Gaelic to me.

[superhooper1983]

This is brilliant. Where did you get this footage from?? Have you got anymore snippets like this?

[baboon2525]

genius! love the mcgeechan-telfer dynamic too.

[tomgrainger93]

Jim Telfer is a legend!

[joanndarach]

FTMjarra you ignorant cunt..Have you ever been to SA??I am born in bred in in the Vrystaat,and have seen some bad shit happen in the late 80's early 90's,all caused by the blacks.Our land is worth fuck all cos the risk attached with farming now cos of those rock apes raiding the cattle..So go back to the cosy little world you have motherfucker,and learn to speak your own language before you judge mine.PRAAT JY AFRIKAANS MOTHERFUCKER???

[FTMJarra]

@joanndarach but it's not YOUR land bonny lad, that's a fact....you stole it off the black man.

[robsargent4]

@joanndarach Afrikaans is just bastardised Dutch. I much prefer Dutch, Frisian "proper German", Platt Duutch, Bavarian, Swiss German, Austrian German, Norwegian, Swedish, Danish etc....basically all the other Germanic languages are better than Afrikaans. Nah, just joking (although I know you probably won't find it very funny). Afrikaans is an interesting language too. I know I'm a bit weird. You know what they say about the Orange Free State - there's nae oranges, naebody's free and it's in...

[robsargent4]

@joanndarach ...a right state (or something like that anyway).

[crimez786]

lol the way he says it

[battycrease1992]

Love how Mcgeechan tries to calm Telfer.

[iamactuallyacat]

"Argh Venter again! Take the bastard off, that's the second time!"

[Kinlochbervie50]

The guys either side of the hoor trying to explain the stamp are pissing themselves!

[killabuffalo]

This video is so hilarious if you look at two things: 1. The fans trying to explain to Telfer (someone who has been in the game for nearly a half a century) a violation and 2. Geech's anxiety..."Don't talk to them....Focus on rugby"

[springbok86]

go home redcoats, bored of your defunct empire

[robsargent4]

@springbok86 Apart from the fact that you probably already know that the British Army and Royal Marines only wear red coats for ceremonial purposes, have the British Army not already left South Africa? There are only a few small colonies kept only because they are either useful as military bases (the UK isn't the only country to have military bases in other parts of the world, now is it?) or because of the majority rule concept - if the majority of the population wish to remain under British...

[robsargent4]

@springbok86 ...rule the territory they live in will remain under British rule if or until this changes. So there are reasons why the remnants of the British Empire still exist - they may not be satisfactory reasons as far as you're concerned, but they are reasons i.e. it isn't entirely defunct...yet.

[robsargent4]

@springbok86 Sorry that should have been until it changes (if it does) in my last post.

[hautelick]

Were they in the stands, talking to supporters, while trying to coach the game?

And a Scot saying 'speak English?'.

That's funny on a couple of levels.

[FTMJarra]

Afrikaans = Racist Oppression.

Boks HAVE to cheat to win, NEED a spineless ref to assist them.....Botha is a cunt, he's a typical bully, no arse to front a man up, always the cheap shot, same as Venter and that other cunt Crige.....Burger is a shithouse, his punishment was a fuckin joke.

[ForrestGunner]

his punishment was a joke!!! the only way they could win was by dirty play!!!

[Raichu234]

i no he was a dirty bastard!

[Raichu234]

@FTMJarra completely agree. Burger should never be allowed on a rugby field after that!

[springbok86]

So glad the Boks have brutalised the Lions this time around, don't have to keep listening to this Lions arrogance. Go back to England and speak English there. Afrikaans is a national language in SA.

[pharry4life]

Brutalised? Lions scored more tries and more points over the three games. SA rugby hasnt covered itself in glory this series, the coach is a joke and the team has to resort to thug tactics to win. As for arrogance...probably the word most associated with Afrikans the world over.

[springbok86]

yeah sure, have a look at Simon Shaw for thug tactics. all we can do is put up with your idiotic press and fat pale supporters for more weeks than is necessary and then move onto the business of 3N. And the moment Morne Steyn's penalty went over at Loftus - that was us covering ourselves in glory.

[springbok86]

funny, also, because most of the world associate Britain with the arrogance of Imperialism, and even without your empire your expectation to speak English wherever you go with no regard for foreign languages or cultures.

[lutonmale1983]

Well, when the world thinks of South Africa, all that comes to mind is the vile apartheidism (along with habitual rape)that was perpetrated by your fathers, grandfathers as well as great grandfathers generation. Have you asked your relative how many blacks, or 'colourds' they lynched? Furthermore, English is one of the official languages of SAis it not? So, it is not too much of an ask to be able to converse in it. You can call youself the 'rainbow nation', however you only see one colour!!

[Plutozium]

1] How is apartheid and habitual rape even possible. Surely they would could only form part of mutually exclusive concepts. Apart from being illegal on it's own, a tradition of "habitual rape" would also be illegal from the standpoint of the Anti-Miscegenation Law. And not terribly popular since blacks ain't pretty. 2] Blacks and Coloureds are distinct groups, you need to stop watching so many movies. 3] Official languages, there are eleven. Can you speak Ndebele? Daft cunt.

[scottyroche]

Get your facts right before you generalise. Not all the Lions are English, nor are they all British, nor is English all of their natve languages.

[azanianlion]

@pharry4life errrrrrrrrr,so how did your "fantastic lions" manage to lose to the Boks if they scored more points?knucklehead. I guess, one could say the word " concentration camps" is synominous with "The best of British ".

[wicksy121]

funny tht we kicked arse in 3rd test and got more total points lol

[springbok86]

funny that the same thing happened in 1997 and that you've changed your tune now that it's the other way round.

[Chandos497]

no one gives a shit about total points. like the lions this year got more total points. its all about the tests. although the lions this year were far better than the boks

[iluvboyzndgirlz]

Another scumbag who has nothing better to do than to try and get people in trouble.

[RhinoApple]

so funny ian acting like his dad saying come on watch the rugby like jim is a little toddler not sitting still

[Rowlandsboii]

omg what a fucking ledgend love the man and always will

[davec82eire]

jim telfer: absolute legend. watched living with lions ten times over the last few weeks.

[mkwapower]

Amabokko bokko..

[battycrease1992]

Love that, brilliant.

[zicothemagnificent]

Tóg go bog é cailíní

[matjamjake]

Aha love how Geech is like a wife trying to calm him down :P

"Don't talk to them it's not worth it"

"Shh, c'mon just watch the rugby"

Classic.

The ref was a quim in this match

[epvn]

Why should we speak english in our own country? The Boks should teach these ignorant arogant pricks a lesson and beat the shit out of the british and irish pussy cats 3-0. My blood is green!!!

[lutonmale1983]

I hope the might of the British Isles batters the shit out these arrogant Boers and sticks one on them. Come on you Lions!!

[jdwet1980]

2- 0 you already lost the tour and it is not even finish! Sticks one on them???? WTF... Speak English you douchebag...

[matjamjake]

You've got green blood? I'd get that checked out if i was you mate...

[maccy809]

haha classic

[themaddestfella]

what was the lady thinking when she talked in afrikaans a language that only some southern african countries speak. respectful of your country and its language but it is rude when english is a national language when a south afrikan player that is asked a question in english and replies in afrikaans even though he is replying to a mostly english speaking audience.

[jdwet1980]

Jim Telfer... Picking a fight with an old woman on the stands.... Makes you wonder who knows more about rugby...

[mmscott9]

obviously he knows more than the idiot trying to argue with him

[shaunmcclenaghan]

just remind me who won the test.

[ChadHorney]

Ja oor, je zou moeten spakketaal praaten, nee?

[beauty19721]

Bastardised Dutch - not even a language!

[mkwapower]

I agree. In South Africa we speak our mother tongues. None of these are English..

[Madflyhalf]

Yeah of course, but when you're talking with someone, it is supposed you talk the same language, even when you discuss animatedly...

Anyway: genuine!

Great Telfer!

[danjames56]

heh heh

[tummy14]

And that is why we won... with those two in charge there was never any doubt!!

[MUFC689908]

"...so he's allowed to kick him in the face? Aye...."

[niceface99]

"...so he's allowed to kick him in the face? Aye...."

[murphyopalmen]

I didn't remember seeing this in the documentary, was this an extra on the dvd or something?

[daegrant]

From recollection it's on the main part of the dvd on the test in question. There are some other choice quips during the game such as Telfer's dislike for the music played over the loudspeakers periodically

[kingaz14]

Beautiful............And to MR. MKWAPOWER .....fuck off and watch the British and Irish Lions decimate your national pride........GOD SAVE THE QUEEN

[batter91]

hahahah classic

[FantasticMrF0x]

oh shush

[FantasticMrF0x]

speak english

[FantasticMrF0x]

cara beth?

[s1mpl1s1mon]

That's what's funny you tube! Jim is in South Africa telling the South Africans what to do. If you are going to argue with Jim Telfer, man up to it and do it in the same language!

[tjdude88]

Shame he's not a bit younger then he would be in good shape for the 09' tour.

[dartmoordog]

I am English through and through, but Jim Telfer is a TRUE Lions legend. A tough talking Scot...Like my wife! Good luck the LIONS!

[Deebemc]

A very very astute man; passionate about the game, played everywhere. He played the game honestly as well as his coaching.Would love to see him mentoring Lion forwards. Brilliant clip!

[pwllderi]

jim is a legend...ian, use him on the 09 tour to syke players up!

[storyman1990]

what a hero!!

[cdb2000]

Fuckin double hard is Jim Telfer.

The Lions should take him with them this summer, wouldn't do any harm would it!

[kingaz14]

LEGEND!

[593OLYMPUS]

As a proud Englishman, I always admired a straight talking no nonsense Scots point of view, and by crumbs Jim Telfer doesn't mince his words! The Boks were getting stuffed by then on the tour,and they didn't like it one bit. If that guy had tried to go head to head with Jim Telfer by the way, my money will be with the ex-Lion everytime. If we go to SA this year with a "will win" attitude we may do what this lot did in 97, otherwise it's curtains.

[TheHakataTerminal]

Jim Telfer......what a guy!

[superdaleybutler]

Haha, the womans husband face is a picture at the end.

Jim Telfer is a brilliant rugby coach and actually cares about the sport and the lions, leave him alone.

[Luis2900R]

Hahahaha the look on geechs face when he says speak english :L

[colliedogg]

get fuct

[theclownspocket]

totally different to nowadays

[kpgilly]

haha what a legend..!!

"he allowed to kick him in the face" hahaha

[07ashleyw]

Trying to work out is this for real

[jbarks10]

That fucking little saffa bitch running her mouth, she deserves to get nutted

[09BowornratP]

shut the afrikaner bitch up real good-great stuff

[pokemonguy2001]

Class. McGeechan pushed so Jimmy would keep quiet. McGeechan''Don't talk to him its not worth it''. Brilliant!

[goodfellow617]

A side to Jim Telfer, my ex Chemistry Teacher, I never saw - RESPECT THE MAN.

[zemaneldaquinta]

he was your chemistry teacher?? i bet if you messed up a reaction, he would punch you in the face

[leonidasaa]

Love you Jim. That was probably one of the best parts of the two part DVD

[StevoIRL]

Hahah priceless
