    But the Jamaicans pressure the choke from them. Score four in a row!

      @canefan Does there have to be an investigation or is the "You're fired" email to Southby already drafted and finger hovering over the send button?

      She should have an "I quit" version already on its way!

      Bronze or no bronze, the loss to Malawi should seal Southby's fate

        Finally over, if they were a horse it would be taken out back and shot

          Silver Ferns lose 55-60. I'm really glad they didn't get up. They didn't deserve a medal.

          I swear Bailey Mes must have incriminating pics of someone. Why the fuck she keeps making it into the starting line up I don't know. Actually felt sorry for Folau, she was having to work three times as hard, and try and take as many shots as she could which is ridiculous for a GA. Your GS should be your gun.

                Was an anti-climatic way to win, with a no let, but YAY GOLD!! Joelle has played some seriously awesome squash, and I think was quite happy to get her own back on the Indian chick.

                  Not a violent person but Janine Southby has a beet punchable face
                  Could see how gutted Katrina Grant was, the coach looked more annoyed at the questions (the questions were more then justified)

                      Was wondering why they insisted on Folau throwing in from the baseline when she is the better shooter except based on the bibs they were wearing.

                                  @booboo Doesn't explain why Mes is in the team though. A GS who can't shoot? That is insane. Folau deserves credit considering every quarter she and Mes were on, she had to carry the entire load. I mean Mes wasn't netting from anywhere, and that is unforgivable. A GA's job is to link between the midcourt and circle, to feed the ball to the GS and to be a back up for rebounds. They should never be asked to do all that PLUS shoot all the goals.

                                        @chris-b I saw in the Stuff live blog Southby said something along the lines of the problem was lack of belief. If she truly thinks that is the main issue, the Ferns are fucked.

                                          I’d say David Kidwell has a better chance of been retained as the kiwis coach then she does as coach of the ferns
