Medic1281 Posted March 12, 2011 Report Share Posted March 12, 2011 I've just spent the afternoon watching the rugby and I saw one of the players walking off with an obvious dislocated shoulder. No fuss or pain relief, he just walks off the pitch. The rugby finished so turned over to watch the last bit of the football. An Arsenal player has just had to be carried off with a similar injury, on a stretcher with the physio holding his hand and going for it on the Entonox (gas and air). Just goes to show which game real men play!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J@mes Posted March 12, 2011 Report Share Posted March 12, 2011 Yet the welsh rugby team is still full of cheats and the referees are just as useless, as todays totally illegal try shows Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

guest1957 Posted March 12, 2011 Report Share Posted March 12, 2011 Yet the welsh rugby team is still full of cheats and the referees are just as useless, as todays totally illegal try shows Given the number of penalties Ireland tend to concede, you could say the same about them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poontang Posted March 12, 2011 Report Share Posted March 12, 2011 Rugby's ok for a minority game. You can't beat football for entertainment though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HDF Posted March 12, 2011 Report Share Posted March 12, 2011 To me rugby just seems so much more flowing, I can't watch football without losing the will to live, each to their own though. The six nations so far has had some pretty good quality rugby being played, I can't wait for the world cup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bullet boy Posted March 12, 2011 Report Share Posted March 12, 2011 Yet the welsh rugby team is still full of cheats and the referees are just as useless, as todays totally illegal try shows There are Cheats in all teams not just the Welsh Rugby team as you accuse!It was the Touch Judge or Referee's assistant,whatever you want to call him,that made the call on the Try that shouldn't have been!! Rugby is the best sport IMO followed by Soccer! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ireland's Finest! Posted March 12, 2011 Report Share Posted March 12, 2011 Football wins hands down for me I had too choose between watching Ireland or United today, the United game won easily. A great win for United I might add, the treble is on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

casts_by_fly Posted March 13, 2011 Report Share Posted March 13, 2011 when I was learning the sports not long ago, a friend and sports bum (he's a football coach for former player) explained it to me well. "Rugby is a thugs sport played by gentlemen while football is a gentleman's sport played by thugs." I can appreciate that. Gentlemen don't whine or complain. They just get the job done. Thugs always have excuses. Thanks Rick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

poontang Posted March 13, 2011 Report Share Posted March 13, 2011 Rugby all the way for me, still watch football but the players really pea me off with fake injurys. Yes. Damn those cheating footballers with their fake injuries. You'd never see that happen with those big, tough rugger chaps eh? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AVB Posted March 13, 2011 Report Share Posted March 13, 2011 Rugby. I played for 30 years . Thoroughly enjoyed it. Useless at soccer and hence can't relate to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acid House Posted March 13, 2011 Report Share Posted March 13, 2011 (edited) The big poof. What he actually left the pitch! In my day the ref would have clinked it back in and got on with the match. Only forwards are actually rugby players. Girly backs are just poofy footballers that want to try a mans game.

Boromir Posted March 13, 2011 Report Share Posted March 13, 2011 I made a stupid mistake playing rugby I landed straight on the ball then followed by two big forwards landing on me result was I was winded for a few minutes, later after the match I realised I broke my ribs. Yet a football player gets shoulder barged and has to be taken off. Don't get me wrong I see a few good games of football but most games all you see is players going down to get free kicks and penalties to win now.
