motion Posted June 9, 2007 Posted June 9, 2007 I think I have an idea why he likes rugby so much. Granted if I was covered in women, I would be happy too. Nice arse on 'im I don't know why people have resorted to slagging the other sport off?? One Two things are certain - International Rugby players are by no means women - and only a small minority of football fans actually are hooligans. Edit: Lets all agree to disagree on which is the best sport, but can we not slag the other off? Conzer once again talks sense
DCK Posted June 9, 2007 Posted June 9, 2007 Because rugby is the national sport in Australia, New Zealand, South Africa and is followed hugely in France and Italy? There is one Aussie, and none of the other nationalities on these forums... Haven't seen many Irish either that I know of (sorry guys!).
Ant-Shimmin Posted June 9, 2007 Posted June 9, 2007 I miss her, she must be miles from the pitch now it was actually any time any opposition player got the ball in Arsenal's half Still FUnny none the less I sit next to Old Jimmy on The Kop a few times a season, well into his late 70's and always has something to say, he is a really funny chap who still thinks Kenny Dalglish is playing for Liverpool. The best line he came out with was during the 6-3 defeat, considering he never swears, and Reina wasn't playing that night. He brought himself up off his feet, and said "REINA YOUR FUCKING SHIT", brought a few howls of laughter!
Shino Posted June 9, 2007 Posted June 9, 2007 and only a small minority of football fans actually are hooligans. That's what's pissing people off, motion2000 is no diferent than a fanatic taliban.
mcj metroid Posted June 9, 2007 Posted June 9, 2007 There is one Aussie, and none of the other nationalities on these forums... Haven't seen many Irish either that I know of (sorry guys!). God damn i'm here right here. Sometimes i think ye do this impurpose:D Also conzer is here but he is from''''that'''''side of ireland... (Please no limerick jokes i can't take it anymore)
Ant-Shimmin Posted June 9, 2007 Posted June 9, 2007 That's what's pissing people off, Summed up in one
mcj metroid Posted June 9, 2007 Posted June 9, 2007 You know what else grinds my gears. Why do english people hate their 'football' being called 'soccer'?
Shino Posted June 9, 2007 Posted June 9, 2007 You know what else grinds my gears. Why do english people hate their 'football' being called 'soccer'? Because it plays with a ball in the foot most of the time. Why call it enything else.
conzer16 Posted June 9, 2007 Posted June 9, 2007 Good well at least we can all take a deep breath and calm down Rugby players ≠ Women Football fan ≠ Football Hooligan
Ant-Shimmin Posted June 9, 2007 Posted June 9, 2007 You know what else grinds my gears. Why do english people hate their 'football' being called 'soccer'? Because America have branded it this new name because they already have a sport called Football. They think we should all adapt this new name. WHen it's stupid
conzer16 Posted June 9, 2007 Posted June 9, 2007 You know what else grinds my gears. Why do english people hate their 'football' being called 'soccer'? Because they know it to be football but in Ireland and America, where soccer is most commonly heard, there is a different type of Football. It's only used to distinguish between two different types of football
mcj metroid Posted June 9, 2007 Posted June 9, 2007 Because it plays with a ball in the foot most of the time. Why call it enything else. Well other countries have other forms of football. In ireland we have Gaelic football,americans have american football and then there is the australian one. Funny how they don't call it english football:) Because they know it to be football but in Ireland and America, where soccer is most commonly heard, there is a different type of Football. It's only used to distinguish between two different types of football Ya i know i just wanted to hear one of them answer:) Don't know why i ask questions i know the answers to. Good well at least we can all take a deep breath and calm down Rugby players ≠ Women Football fan ≠ Football Hooligan wait who said rugby player's are women? I missed that one...Ok i'm calm... thanks guys this is a great break from my geography study i'm enjoying this.: peace:
Zell Posted June 9, 2007 Posted June 9, 2007 I usually find that England only like the sports they are good at? Maybe that sounds silly i say this because cricket is the worst sport i have ever seen in my life and yet some of you seem to like it:) It boggles the mind. Let's end this by saying that pro wrestling beats all!! *Grabs flame shield* Get out. Get out. Cricket is the greatest sport in the history of the world.
motion Posted June 9, 2007 Posted June 9, 2007 Get out. Get out. Cricket is the greatest sport in the history of the world. zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
Goron_3 Posted June 9, 2007 Posted June 9, 2007 zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz Cricket is awesome. Seriously, it's too good. Atleast put forward an opinion instead of increasing your post count.
conzer16 Posted June 9, 2007 Posted June 9, 2007 I used to hate cricket - I thought it was the most boring game that has eer been invented...then Ireland played at the world cup
Zell Posted June 9, 2007 Posted June 9, 2007 zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz Care to come up with a less retarded comment? I find rugby league very "zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz" but I don't say it because I'm not a troll. You obviously don't appreciate cricket and it's depth as a sport and I don't mind that but when you say it's boring without a reason then that annoys me slightly.
Problematique Posted June 9, 2007 Posted June 9, 2007 Get out. Get out. Cricket is the greatest sport in the history of the world. +1. Well, not the greatest sport ever but it's pretty high up my rankings. Comparing the two sports isn't particularly constructive considering they're so different even if they do share a common ancestor. And all it does is produce a lot of bullshit from both sides of the argument (not all of it, but some of it). In the end having played most of the types of football in the world I know which ones I like best both as a spectator and as a player. And I genuinely find rugby the most satisfying and football the least. But in the end it's all subjective. A lot of the people I know who dislike rugby don't like it because they don't understand it and as a result just see it as a lot of dumb, breeze-blockish men running into each other (although rugby players on the whole seem to be pretty intelligent despite what rugby drinks may tell). I see the same thing with American Football. EDIT: to the person who said that the NFL is much more physical than rugby...don't go there. I can guarantee you that someone like Jason White or Ben Cohen could hit you as hard as Brian Dawkins or Joey Porter. Rugby's mentality for tackling is to make sure you get your opposite number to ground, dislodging the ball comes second. In American football which is much more possession based many players are tackling to dislodge the ball...plus they can lead with the shoulder which is banned in rugby. Also in American football you know that the whistle will blow once you've made the tackle. Passages of play in rugby can go on for ten minutes and there's very little time in which to catch your breath. So if you put monster hits in all the time you're going to be pretty fucking knackered and not getting to the rucks. This is exemplified by one of the toughest drills I've ever done. Four tacklebags on each corner of a rectangle (1,2,3,4). For three minutes, your coach calls out numbers in quick succession and you have to hit the corresponding tacklebag. This is done at full speed. It's agonisingly painful...but it shows that in rugby you shouldn't waste your energy putting in a huge hit when getting the guy down will do. Of course, putting in a big hit every so often is good, but it's certainly not required for every tackle.

You obviously don't appreciate cricket and it's depth as a sport and I don't mind that but when you say it's boring without a reason then that annoys me slightly. And you don't think hearing 'rugby is cack' is annoying? Anyway I find cricket boring. But then I don't understand the game completely so who knows, it just seems very dull and repetitive.
Zell Posted June 9, 2007 Posted June 9, 2007 I've never said rugby was cack. I'll reiterate my opinions. I find rugby to be a good and exciting sport, but generally not as exciting as football (although is international rugby beats international football, defo). Sorry if I came across as "rugby is cack" in the heat of the argument. Although I do think rugby league is very dull and repetitive.
motion Posted June 9, 2007 Posted June 9, 2007 I didn't mean YOU stated that 'rugby is cack', I should have made that clearer. But hearing all day about how inferior rugby is to football was annoying to me. Although I do think rugby league is very dull and repetitive. Agree there, though I haven't watched much league.
Eddage Posted June 9, 2007 Posted June 9, 2007 I didn't mean YOU stated that 'rugby is cack', I should have made that clearer. But hearing all day about how inferior rugby is to football was annoying to me. So you're allowed to tell us football is shit but we're not allowed to say the same about Rugby?!
