Talking about rugby....

[Evans Electric]

Talking about rugby , nothing against it but I'm not a great fan TBH ( Yeah, Yeah,, I know .. Land of my Fathers etc ) Prefer soccer TBH (Up the Villa!)

There is a drawback, however.

There is a distinct lack of interest in soccer on the Forum , I know, but I was just wondering if rugger players hawk up and expel the same amount of sputum, snot, phlegm, gob, spittle and green gilberts as soccer players do.

I sometimes wonder how they stay on their feet by the second half.

It is certainly getting that way. And I know that this part may be hard to believe.

But, Rugby players are starting to spend more time on the floor, being tackled etc as opposed to "Pretent fouls" on a football player.

when I played as a forward it felt like my guts had been ripped out. No spitting just drinking. When I played as a back it felt like I had been for a walk.

Football annoys me main reasons. Rolling around on the floor for no reason. The way they bully the ref and no video ref

I was never a huge fan of football, but that has just put me off being interested in the slightest any more. Should be a new rule where a member of the opposite team can kick the player in the face that is rolling around on the floor. Should stop the overpaid spoilt workshy ******s heading for the grass when anyone tries to take the ball off them.

Ooh, but you'd mess up their pretty hair, smudge their eye-liner knock the verniers off their teeth and make them cry (Wayne Rooney excepted )

i think its the ref thing that really gets me, how they run up and crowed round hiim when they dont like a decision.

i have played rugby where the ref will only speak to the captin or pack leader.

if you treat the ref like they do in football you would be stood on your try line in no time, and prob sent off

footballers are over payed wimps and drama queens. The fans (most of them) are drunken yobs wearing burberry who think the are hard because they go around and abuse each other. I've been to a national match and unlike rugby, fans from different parts of wales still hurl abuse at eachother. Where as in rugby everyone mixes, has a bit of banter along with a good drink.

Rugby - Played by thugs, watched by gentlemen.

Football - Played by gentlemen(ish) and watched by thugs

Anyway roll on round 2 of the 6 nations Guinness

Maybe you were thinking of;

Rugby is a game for thugs played by gentleman.

Football is a game for gentlemen played by thugs.
