    Ahhh Brother Spanky you speaketh wisely my son, but as you, yourself have spoketh elsewhere many are quick to get on board when the times are good - it is up to those that are wise in the ways of the Force that will teach them how to cope through not only the good times, but also the bad.

    How come your an Irish Rugby Supporter then...

    It would be evident that you would have come onto the Australian Rugby bandwagon if you didn't keep the faith

    Oh yeah, I am as loyal to the core for my team the Western Force.

    Love the banner...

    Thanks Exile for highlighting the sign at 13:08. It was first posted in at 03:17 on the Force vs Stormers thread by 'Balls and duly noted by Burgs. Thanks Coach for finding & printing the pic of "I HAVE FAITH".

    It represents the crowd being on-side with the team. Has this person come forward yet ?
    Any chance of more signs being shown by supporters at the ground?

    I think a lot of people were touched by the "I Have Faith" sign, it is a pretty succinct summation of how many of us feel!

    Funnily enough these same people also asked me last year why I continued to wear my Wallabies Jersey while they were having bad run of losses.

    Don't these people get it. We are Supporters of The Emirates Western Force,


    We support the Western Force
    Thru thick and thin.
    Rain hail or shine,
    For better or worse
    In sickness and in health
    For as long as we all shall live.

    SO HELP US JOHN.

    During the FoxSports telecast a shot of the crowd focused on one lady holding a sign in blue with a simple message. "I HAVE FAITH". If that lady is a member of TheWholeForce, or if she is known by anyone of our members here, can you please pass on this message;
    Thank you for expressing how I feel, Thank you for putting in to words what I couldnt untill now. Thank you for inspiring me, and to a lesser extent this thread.
    Ever since I saw this sign I have had this song buzzing around in my head.


    Keep the Faith. By Bon Jovi from the Album of the same name

    Mother mother tell your children
    That their time has just begun
    I have suffered for my anger
    There are wars that can't be won

    Father father please believe me
    I am laying down my guns
    I am broken like an arrow
    Forgive me
    Forgive your wayward son

    Everybody needs somebody to love
    (mother, mother)
    Everybody needs somebody to hate
    (please believe me)
    Everybody's bitching
    'cause they can't get enough
    And it's hard to hold on
    When there's no one to lean on

    Faith: you know you're gonna live thru the rain
    Lord you got to keep the faith
    Faith: don't let your love turn to hate
    Right now we got to
    Keep the faith
    Keep the faith
    Keep the faith
    Lord we got to keep the faith

    Tell me baby when i hurt you
    Do you keep it all inside
    Do you tell me al's forgiven
    And just hide behind your pride

    Everybody needs somebody to love
    (mother, father)
    Everybody needs somebody to hate
    (please don't leave me)
    Everybody's bleeding
    'cause the times are tough
    Well it's hard to be strong
    When there's no one to dream on

    Faith: you know you're gonna live thru the rain
    Lord you got to keep the faith
    Now you know is not too late
    Oh you got to keep the faith
    Faith: don't let your love turn to hate
    Right now we got to
    Keep the faith
    Keep the faith
    Keep the faith
    Lord we got to keep the faith

    Walking in the footsteps
    Of society's lies
    I don't like what i see no more
    Sometimes i wish that i was blind
    Sometimes i wait forever

    To stand out in the rain
    So no one sees me cryin'
    Trying to wash away the pain
    Mother father

    There's things i've done i can't erase
    Every night we fall from grace

    It's hard with the world in yours face
    Trying to hold on, trying to hold on

    Faith: you know you're gonna live thru the rain
    Lord you got to keep the faith
    Faith: don't let your love turn to hate
    Right now we got to keep the faith
    Faith: now it's not too late
    Try to hold on, trying to hold on
    Keep the faith


    Does anyone else have Faith?

    Oh yes my young friend I have faith. I was fortunate enough to be watching Foxsports. The enthusiasm of your team impressed me greatly. That sign shown in the crowd. moved me to tears.

    The fans of the Western Force do have faith, as do I. Support your team and they will reward your support.

    Whilst I dont agree with this rock and roll music, i applaud the sentiment young Exile.

    I am Gilbert. people say I am a Guru. I will let you all be the judge.

    MysticBalls; is it really that important who saw the sign first?

    Should we not celebrate the pleasure that this wonderful team has given to the members of this forum? The fact that the sign in the crowd brought pleasure to so many brings joy to this old mans heart.

    I loved that sign. I hope the boys saw it.

    BTW, is it your birthday, Guru? If so, happy birthday!

    I am happy to answer your questions Sagerian and anyone elses for that matter, but, this thread might not be the best place for that. I would hate to upset anyone. I am but a small fish trying to fit in this pond.

    Perhaps another thread would be more appropriate.
