robbo 802 Posted July 8, 2014 Report Share Posted July 8, 2014 A shithouse in football who dives etc is just as much of a shithouse as a shithouse in rugby league who puts in some late hits,punches from behind,dangerous high tackles etc.A sportsman is a sportsman at the end of the day. I agree that a cheap shot happens but at least the rfl do something about it even if its afterwards. The F.A do exactly that, F.A . The Suarez incident is one of many incidents that happen in football but one of the few that they have done anything about. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

morton 5,367 Posted July 8, 2014 Report Share Posted July 8, 2014 League as its problems,theatrics and dissent creeping in,the hooligan element surfacing now and spoiling the greatest of family games.Both league and football suffer with English coaches not up to the task,Mcnamara with the worst record as a super League coach, at the Bulls,getting the English job.Still its the most honest sporting spectacle about,spoilt by Refs wanting to much limelight and linesmen who do zilch,the Amateur game is strong and at times more thrilling and intense than the professional one. A very strong regional youth policy makes the game accessible to all age groups and genders,run by well organised and supportive bodies.The biggest draw for many is League is a true family spectator sport.C,mon Cougars.

gnasher16 29,739 Posted July 12, 2014 Report Share Posted July 12, 2014 Never understood why people constantly compare rugby and football then come out with stupid statements like " rugby players are real men " !!.......whoever said football was about how macho you are ......to me rugby league seems just about the most boring nonsensical competition in sport.........roll the ball back,run 3 yards,have a bundle,stand up.......repeat...but hey if thats what some folk like then great crack on..........but stop comparing to football all the time its like comparing baseball to cricket just because both use a bat !

bracken boy 584 Posted July 12, 2014 Report Share Posted July 12, 2014 I did wonder gnasher when you was going to put your input lol totally agree by the way as i did say also you just cant compare the two sports, each to there own so enjoy your sport of choice..

gnasher16 29,739 Posted July 12, 2014 Report Share Posted July 12, 2014 I only just got back from a little football tournament a few days ago otherwise id been all over it........always strikes me how you rarely hear footie fans moaning about rugby yet constantly hear rugby fans slagging footie.......ironic how the big toughies seem to suffer a touch of the " little man " syndrome Quote Link to post Share on other sites
zigzag dan 784 Posted July 12, 2014 Report Share Posted July 12, 2014 Gnash , don't think people are comparing the sports , more the people involved , I have witnessed both in depth , as someone who has numerous convictions from the 80s for football violence and as someone who has been involved in semi pro rugby , both league / union , through my sons involvement , SORRY , but mentality wise there is a massive difference , both with players and fans , like it or not . I wont list them all but a couple of quick ones such as no crowd segregation in rugby , the ref is called Sir , at both international level and grass roots , not the constant bullying of the ref by all of the team , football is game lacking a big ingredient , RESPECT, one thing that both rugby and your own sport of boxing , luckily still possess . 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
