Help! Cannot sign into Mr Linky on ABC, My World Or Skywatch. Anyone else had this problem? Appreciate your help or thoughts on this one. Thanks in advance.
Ramsey Rugby. A strange game to some, only played by girls in others, or the best game in the world to many. What about you?
Ramsey are the ones in the blue shirts. I was going to upload the monochrome version, then I realised that would be no good if I said blue shirts in a black and white photo. Doh! Anyway it's Rugby Season. This was home game match( I am not allowed to mention the other team) and as you can see the lads were getting stuck in. The Rugby Pitch, Mooragh, runs alongside the Promenade. You can see the car in the background, right hand side along the promenade road. In other Rugby shots I've shown you the Mountain backdrop. I know I'm lucky. No hooligans here. It's a family sport.
This sport is a lot easier to take than the motorbikes. Another tip, know the rules of the game. This helps to take the money shot. The local paper will only take a few shots and disappear. You stay the game and you'll get the better shot. Again do not saturate the colours. The teams strip should be photographed as they wear it, not over egged.
Want to join ABC got the lovely hostess with the mostest, MRS NESBITT'S PLACE
Rugby is said to be a thugs game played by gentlemen.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure there are no thugs in Ramsey, so it must be true!
Sunshine Coast Daily - Australia
Great action shot!

ReplyDeleteI look at rugby at the TV...
See You later !
Please can someone tell me if mr linky is working? I am having pc. problems so I really need your help on this. I cannot sign into mr linky on any of the nemes. Cheers B.
ReplyDeleteBabooshka.....Just past midnight here IOM time and I've just checked Mr Linky out on the ABC site and I'm afraid to say it isn't working.It was working perfectly earlier when I posted my link. Computers ehhhhh......Like the rugby action shot. Friends of mine are staunch ramsey fans but I've never watched. Must get myself down there one of these days.
ReplyDeleteWow, super shot there, Babooshka!
ReplyDeleteSorry, haven't tried any of those linkys lately, so don't know.
Don't know about your pc troubles but the photo is a knockout. I'm a Vaga, the team you can't mention. Terrific action shot.
ReplyDeleteRUGBY!!! That was really clever!!!! Loved it!!!

Nice capture!
ReplyDeleteFantastic action shot.
ReplyDeleteGreat ball shot. And I hope you got your Mr. Linky problem fixed.
ReplyDeleteAnd thanks for visiting my clouds-from-above post for Skywatch. Much appreciated!
Mr linky is not connecting properly on the island. I sign in for a wordless day. It will only sign you up when it first appears, then it wipes out the links which are still visable to others. You need to get someone across to sign you in. The host of each theme, neme should do this for you. Not sure if this is a server problem. Hope this helps.
ReplyDeletePat.
I don't know from rugby, but I'd agree with your observation about knowing the rules of the game. I've found in shooting hockey, knowing the game allows you to anticipate the action. And in a game that moves as fast as hockey, that's the only way you're going to get the shot you want. I'm guessing the same holds true for rugby.
ReplyDeleteI've always loved shooting sports simply for the raw emotion that comes through in the photos. Looks like you have the same idea here!
Great rugby action shot and perfet for the letter R.
ReplyDeleteNow Mr Linky seems to be working. I clicked on your name and here I am...
Babooshka - I just added you to the Mr Linky roll.
ReplyDeleteRugby is played in Australia also; is more popular in the eastern states than here.
Fellows play rugby in Kapiolani park here in Honolulu. People wonder what they are up to! ;-)
ReplyDeleteAloha-
Rugby isn't so popular here in Canada, but I'd love to see a game over there some day. :D
ReplyDeleteHow do you get them to look like statues.
ReplyDeletei can just hear them grunting.....great pic..wonderful energy
ReplyDeletesuperb action pic!!
ReplyDeleteThe action is actually happening in a static photo. Really nice click.
ReplyDeleteAwesome photo!! The clarity and capture are just perfect!!
ReplyDeleteje suis fan des photos de sport, et je trouve cette photo vraiment superbe, bravo tu étais dans l'action.
ReplyDeleteI am a fan of sports photos, and I found this picture really superb, bravo you were in action.
That was a good choise for the R, and a greate photo:)
ReplyDeleteGreat catch, pardon the pun. And at the risk of being disrespectful to veterans, your photo reminds me of the famous shot of the flag raising at Iwo Jima.
ReplyDeleteI followed you in the Mr. linky so it means you are there and there is no problem I think.
ReplyDeleteI love this shot! Very action packed!

Rugby. lovely. Just love the action shot but also the golden Autumn light. Reminds me of Saturday afternoons watching the boyfriend playing. Ah! Nostalgia...
ReplyDeleteObviously a tough sport, But is Ramsay Rugby different from other forms of the spor (apart from giving you two Rs?? :-) ) We don't have it here.
ReplyDeleteConcerning Mr.Linky - I managed to log in early yesterday, but then it seemed to stop and no more entrants came. But The, we are one hour ahead of you. Last week - disaster.
Personally I hate Mr. Linky.
Great shot!
ReplyDeleteMaybe Rugby was born in France, during Middle Ages ("La Soule" was the old name of this sport)
Nowadays, Rugby is very famous and popular in the w south of France!
Great action shot.
ReplyDeleteLove it. Going to see Wales take on the All Blacks on Saturday!
Nice picture, pity about the game...:)
ReplyDeleteI like your sports photos best. They have astonishing clarity.
ReplyDeleteYou've captured the right moment! Very good!
ReplyDeleteAwesome previous photo! The deep blue is amazing.
Excellent action photo, and a great double-R.
ReplyDeleteLinky keeps disappearing. It comes back for a while then goes again. Aileni's keep vanishing on his monochromes.
Now I change hats, and as a member of the ABC Team I thank you for your participation. There, will that do?
Your sport/action pictures are always the best. Whats a strip? I thought you were going dirty. LOL.
ReplyDeleteWe have our first basketball game Friday night, I am going to try to see what kind of pics I can get with my new camera.
Gordon had added you to Mr. Linky but it disappeared again, so I have added you again!
ReplyDelete«Good grief, Charlie Brown...»
LOL!!!!
Cool post! Love the action shot of the rugby players!!
ReplyDeleteOh Rugby.. one thing I really miss from when I lived in Scotland! Great 'R' shot!
ReplyDeleteThanks for your nice comment. I am indeed enjoying blogging and taking photos again. Nice that it's showing. ;)
Have a great day.
Oh Dear!!! Now you have just appeared again, out of the blue, right under Gordon!!! HELP!!!!! But I swear you weren't there some minutes ago!!!!
ReplyDeleteNothing "r"ougher than rugby...
ReplyDeleteGreat photo worthy of this blog
ReplyDeleteThanks for comments on my blog Brian
You are in your element! Great shot!
ReplyDeleteGreat stop action! The shape of their bodies almost recalls the flag raising on Iwo Jima. Iconic!
ReplyDeleteNice action shot.
ReplyDeleteperfect R word for today & great action shot as well!
ReplyDeleteNice action shot!
ReplyDeleteGreat action shot! I keep meaning to get along to a game my brother plays to practice some photo taking but alas the weather keeps putting me off, yes I know I'm a wimp. Love how you've captured some of the players up in the air. Awesome.
ReplyDeleteI happened to cycle (pushbikes) on Your wonderful island one week in september this year. Good to watch Your photoes, good remembering .
ReplyDeleteHI Babooska, Mr. Linky worked for me earlier but is not working now. oh well....I love your shot of Rugby. I had 2 brother in laws that played for Arkansas a long time ago.....a very dangerous activity from my mind! hope your computer glitches get worked out soon!
ReplyDeleteGreat action shot!
ReplyDeleteNow Mr. Linky totally disappeared! So strange!!
ReplyDeleteGreat picture! I had no problem with Mr Linky, but it was just after 8 o'clock last night. Maybe the problems started after that time?
ReplyDeleteI only watch American Football, which I believe is based on rugby ... loosely at least! It's a great action shot, though!
ReplyDeleteGreat action shot, they are all at the half of the frame and the ball on the other! Superb!
ReplyDeleteYou caught them right at the top, great picture! :-)
ReplyDeleteCool action shot! I'm no fan of Rugby (I think it has to do with being forced to play in the cold and rain at school!) Phoebe goes to watch Gloucester play with her dad and uncle, not my thing I'm afraid. Though I like watching football. Anyway, not an interesting story but thats life! Lol :)
ReplyDeleteWonderful shot and perfect for the letter R.
ReplyDeleteI have been having difficulty all day with Blogger and Mr. Linky.
Glad to hear that I am not the only one.
Hopefully the problem will get fixed so that we can visit everyone's blogs.
Bear((( )))
Funny! The ball seems round on the photo
ReplyDeleteI thought the rugby ball was oval?
ReplyDeleteOr is it another way of playing from the Isle of Man!! :~D
Perfect.
ReplyDeleteI love the action caught -- the moment in time. I'm not familiar with rugby -- so it's fun to see such a picture.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great action shot. I noticed it yesterday on the portal and then the day got away from me.
ReplyDeletestunning motion dynamic shot!!!
