| News Story | | Posted Tuesday, January 02, 2007 3:05:59 PM by Blog57 Team | | Angry Sale boss Philippe Saint Andre accused Bristol of cheating after they condemned his side to a surprise 10-6 defeat at Edgeley Park. The West Country side remain top of the Guinness Premiership after completing a notable double over the reigning champions, who are now 13 points adrift after going down to a third defeat in 11 days. Bristol number eight forward Dan Ward-Smith pressed his England claims with the only try of the match on 68 minutes but Saint Andre insisted the score should have been disallowed because of obstruction. Ward-Smith went over unopposed for the all-important try directly from a scrum five metres from the Sale line, with the Sharks director of rugby arguing that Juan Martin Fernandez Lobbe was illegally prevented from making the tackle.

Additionally, his sporadic and brief low-key tours over the last decade and a half have been manna to the legions of Floyd faithful. Yet the key words here are "sporadic" and "brief."Given that, along with his brief three-song set with fellow Floydians David Gilmour, Nick Mason and Richard Wright at last summer's "Live 8" concert in London, Waters' return to "Dark Side" appears to be nothing more than a run for the "Atom Heart Mother"- sized cash cow.... | |
