to declare football to be a gurt big pile of steaming shite?

[DameHermione]

And footballers complete pathetic wusses who fall over and cry at the smallest bump.

If i was their mother i would be ashamed of them. Pathetic.

And they are paid vast amounts of money yet still miss the net when they kick the ball at it.

What a load of boring shite.

I tried watching football once and quickly came to the conclusion that if I ever suffered from insomnia it would be an effective cure.

Rugby, on the other hand, I have enjoyed and not just because of the players, although they're a definite bonus

Aw shucks Scrubber.

YANBU in the slightest, I agree with every single word!
DH and I managed to row about it this evening as I didn't wish to spend the entire sodding evening watching that tosh, so I ended up outside gardening until it got dark - a much better use of my time!

Kveta a lot of keeling over whimpering at perceived injustices

I have been a rugby fan all my life and it offer so much more excitement

It also has eye gouging, ear biting, binge drinking and dwarf tossing and this appalling piece of pre-meditated cheating.

Anyone remember the lurid headlines from the last Rugby Union world cup? If the England football team had behaved a fraction as badly as their rugby playing counterparts then they'd be strung up by the tabloids.

Rugby Union is crap to watch in my opinion too, no rhythm to it. All stop start stop start and endless penalties and set pieces. When there is some actual action, it is all very scrappy - a cross between a Roman Orgy and a bunch of pig ugly drunks chasing after the last bus home.

Yabu, I'm taking a stand here. Saying you don't like football is like saying you don't like novels or paintings, it is of course a supreme art form, even if you don't like the players.

As for rugby, well a good game of rugby is just a scrappy football.game
