It was a great tackle. He’s a real improver all round.
-
Yes amazing performance!
I think he made a huge difference to the scrum. When they were camped on our line he found something extra which forced them to pull the ball out and run it.
Re the tackle, well what can I say? For me, it was one of the key moments of the game. Sensational timing and technique Biyi, well done.
-
You can see a significant difference in his physique from the last season or two.
-
Absolutely superb tackle. I jumped up in my seat watching it. I thought they'd cracked us and their try was certain and I think they thought so too. Wonderful moment.
-
I've written somewhere how impressively he has improved over the three years he's been with us. The talent was always there, but losing weight from 22 stone to 18 st 7ish lb and gaining a 6-pack has done him good service. To lose that much so quickly is terribly difficult and it has paid off big time. Congratulations Biyi. (And the Useless Announcer can't pronounce 'Biyi' properly.)
-
Wonkywasp, I think his attitude has always been good. He just needed the technique and the stamina. He has always been very powerful.
I will forgive his musical efforts after a performance like that!
-
Wot you said, Backdoc, .... so much better than I could put it. I agree about the music too!
-
TBF i actually rather like some of his songs... particularly those songs that are a little slower and relaxed.
I think he's a little bit of an unsung hero in the club atm, his performances have been fantastic and that tackle summarises that. The moment he realised we were outnumbered and took charge, got across and made a terrific tackle to shut Tigers out, especially as he seemed to find energy out of nowhere.

How is it pronounced?

Beasties ... It's quite simple! B. Y . How on earth can anybody get that wrong, Someone who had shared accommodation with him said it correctly. Bee. Why.

God, I've been saying (thinking) Biyi wrong all the time🥵🥵🥵🥵🥵

Every day’s a school day ! I thought it was bee yee . Sure that’s how BT was saying it.
-
If the end of season awards included most improved he’d certainly be in with a shout.

Says the person who actually knows. Apologies for not being one of those. I doubt I’m alone though seeing how it’s spelt.
-
I used to wonder too until (not recognizing him because he changed so much since he'd joined us) I said 'Who'se that?' and was told 'That's Biyi. We share together.' If I seemed to be being rude to you Beasties - many apologies. I didn't mean to be. Sorry.

I’m sure you’ve read it back and realised it wasn’t the best. No worries though, very gracious of you. He shall now be BeeWhy henceforth in this household.
I’ll probably forget again though ;D
I wasn’t a fan when he first arrived but he is now a solid option, he’s improved a lot.
-
I'm both glad to know and v glad that he's improved so much. Had all the tools but needed focus and that's come alongside a dose of leadership and being a key part of our best front row for now.
-
Here is Biyi himself, saying 'Biyi' https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XISyYuZJ7p8
-
Given the size of him, if I ever meet him I will call him "sir"
:)
-
Sounds like he says "B.E. Allo"
Definitely not B.Y.

Yup. I’m so confused now……

Yes, I remember this turnover. Impressed at the time.

Quite a turn of pace for a big prop.
-
Beasties,
The way he pronounces it in that clip certainly sounds like BeeYee to me too.

It's the attitude. You can see he is just working as hard as he possibly can. And that is something that is seriously hard to coach. It needs to be nurtured and cherished.
What a great couple weeks he's had
-
He's also encouraging and guiding the young players too throughout the game. Brilliant man.
-
And he’s difficult to push backwards.
-
Very!
-
OT ... Sorry but just noticed a weird Thing. On Match Day at 0930 hrs I had 52 smites; at 1600 hrs and 2 polite harmless posts later I had 54 smites. I didn't post on Sunday or Monday at all and gained 2 smites for nothing! In the last hour I gained more smites (total 57) presumably for liking Alfie and Biyi but not Eddie and postiing on the Everlasting Thread thinggy. How very odd.
-
Ha 40 odd at Christmas now heading for 100. Games will be played.
-
Shall we start a Club?! I'll keep you ahead on Applauds. :)
-
Somebody is working on me very fast!
-
Couldn't give a monkeys - it is quite bemusing. Must admit I only look when somebody mentions their own.

Fixed that for you. ;D

Thank you VV! You are very clever and kind. That feels a lot better!! The Phantom Raspberry Blower must be spitting feathers. In truth. I felt I was being bullied (for what?) and stalked. It was neither kind nor funny. but you have solved my problem. I realise it probably happens to others and that I am being uber fluffy but I.m verry happy to be rid of the wretched person. Thank you, and thank you Neils and others too. :)
-
Sorry wonky, but I felt you had to have one smite to balance the 60,000+. Nothing personal and I won't do it again.
-
Don't worry Backdoc! It keeps my head down to the right size. Good move. Wasn't that clever of VV.
-

Same here, and this prompted me to check mine, I too, have picked up a few smites, despite no controversial posts in the last few days. Very strange indeed.

It's all relative, but I picked up a few in the last few days, despite rarely posting. We have a phantom smiter! ::)
-
It's not me aiming for revenge, honest. Do we have a poster surname of Cummings?
-
Thank you VV! You are very clever and kind. That feels a lot better!!
It is my pleasure. I think you deserve them.

Noe if you can just do the same for the league table and scoreboard ….
-
Come on VV - you can do this ....
-
Wonky: Not sure whether you deserve applause or smite for claiming that " The Phantom Raspberry Blower must be spitting feathers."
-
Not at all sure but could the culprits be our round ball friends?
-
They would have to be able to post on Always a Wasp wouldn't they/ It might be someone's child.

That thought had crossed whatever passes for my mind.
