johnny boy68 11,725 Posted February 13, 2012 Report Share Posted February 13, 2012 whereas the little rich university kids run off and play rugby........ That maybe the case in England gnash but down here we all play rugby even the lads/lasses who ain't got a pot to piss in. Thats one thing with rugby in Wales its never been a class thing but perhaps thats because we are either lower class or a lower, lower class. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

PlasticJock 539 Posted February 13, 2012 Report Share Posted February 13, 2012 The difference is that rugby players can take a full slap and crack on without pissing and moaning about it, whereas most footballers will use any trick in the book to stop the game once the ball gets taken off them.

jimster68 123 Posted February 13, 2012 Report Share Posted February 13, 2012 i love watching rugby league ,i was never really a fan when i was younger but the price you have to pay to watch football is outrageous,when i was a kid me and my mates would would go watch football on saturdays at elland road and it was fairly cheep ,then when i left school and started work i could pay a tenner for me and my younger brother to go watch football that was all in bag of chips ,program,watch match this was in the mid 80s early 90s.now i dont know any young kids who go watch football on there own ,most of them that do go have well of parents ,rugby league is far cheaper and far more family friendly ,players have to show the ref the upmost respect and any form of dissent isnt acceptable or tolerated ,rugby players make far better role models ,no matter what happens on the pitch they shake hands afterwards ,nobodys over paid or holds there club to ransom ,look whats been splashed all over the papers for months ,over paid football players having bitch fits ,i think its time football got a grip ..........jim Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RubyTex 1,957 Posted February 13, 2012 Report Share Posted February 13, 2012 In my opinion the two sports can't be compared. There is a huge technical difference so how can you compare how players react on the pitch? In football nowadays any clattering (or even contact at all in some cases) will be met with a 'ooooh' from the crowd, in rugby, that's the whole aim of the game! And let's be fair, the rugby lads all love to dive in as a team and give one person a good kicking don't they? Just because you've got a head the size of a Nissan Micra still doesn't mean you're playing a 'real mans game', you're just a fat f****r. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

So comparing football to a bunch of rugby players kicking seven bells out of eachother is a moot point. Rugby has it's fair share of absolute plebs too. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

No I see what you're saying, but as you said its expected in rugby, if you can't take it then don't play! There's a technical difference yes, but why a player of any sport would blatantly cheat, dive, scream and generally make themselves look like a prat is beyond me... Players get knocked, barged all the time in rugby and the lads just get on with it, God forbid you should look at someone the wrong way in football or scuff their armani earring... But yes, I think there are twats in any sport nowadays, maybe because footballs so popular do we see more of the wasters. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest born to run1083 Posted February 13, 2012 Report Share Posted February 13, 2012 those players blatently diveing with out being touched should be red carded,, not yellow carded,,, and banned for a few matches,,, and if its not clear to the ref at the time,, then haveing a close look after the game and banning for a few matches...... in fact its the hole disaplin in football,, they shouldnt be allowed to talk to the ref in the way they do,,, it should be refed more like rugby.. whats that saying,,, a gentlemens game played by thugs,,, and a thugs game played by gentlemen.... Couldn't agree more Quote Link to post Share on other sites

spade 224 Posted February 15, 2012 Report Share Posted February 15, 2012 Football=90 minutes men pretending to be hurt, Rugby= minutes men pretending NOT to be hurt. Having said that there are some twats in Rugby. One of my lads plays U13 and heard opposing coaches telling there teams to deliberately set out to injure players. Shouldn't get that in any sport.

Lab 10,979 Posted February 15, 2012 Report Share Posted February 15, 2012 A very informative video that clearly indicating the skill of footballers and there fear of being injured against the thuggery of rugby.
