Rugby or Football

[.Zi]

Im a rugby man, played on Twickenham at the age of 9, became 3rd best in the country and can't get a good enough game in the county. Anyway as the title says, what do you prefer? Rugby or Football? Don't forget to add a reason and ofc I prefer rugby, football is a bit wimpy.

"rugby is a thugs game played by gentelmen and football is a gentlemens game played by thugs."

[Calabrian]

Aged 9 u were 3rd best in the country in what position?

And how good are you nowadays?

[Excellent1]

Yeah.. what position was you and how the hell can they determine who the best rugby player is at 9? Lol?

Rugby LEAGUE for me as when I lived in Hull I played for Hull F.C and then got on regional camp so I played for the whole Yorkshire district.

[Andys]

easily football.

The team were 3rd best in the country as u9s if you get me, I have the newspaper article :P

Ok that confused me ^^

Basicly we were the 3rd best in our age group all over the UK.

We are the second best at any sport in the county..

I play Hooker :P

[Ohirian]

You're rugby club is the second best at any sport in the county? You must be great at multi-tasking. Also, I enjoy playing Rugby and watching Rugby (I go to all the England Games) but I follow a club in football when I don't in Rugby.

[Geraint]

football by a mile. couldn't give a **** about the egg-chasers.

[Dudey!]

Why do all rugby players think they're hard as nails?

[Antallica]

Football all the way. (Y)

[Ohirian]

Why do all rugby players think they're hard as nails?

They don't, they just don't roll around the floor when someone kicks their leg.

[.Zi]

They don't, they just don't roll around the floor when someone kicks their leg.

I agree with that one. I dont think im hard as nails, although tbh, i must be brave sticking my head inbetween our props butts in the malls :P

[Geraint]

How about facing a 50-50 challenge with an incoming defender?

I'm sure I read somewhere that the injury rate for football is higher than that of rugby. Not sure if it is, though, I'm just sure I saw it somewhere.

[Excellent1]

I agree with that one. I dont think im hard as nails, although tbh, i must be brave sticking my head inbetween our props butts in the malls :PYou don't put your head through their ass. You lean down and wait for the prop to roll the ball back to you and then you throw it. You're great at rugby aren't you son:rolleyes:

Not sure if it is, though, I'm just sure I saw it somewhere.Football is also a very dangerous sport as you can get kicked, tripped etc. Rugby is more dangerous though due to the hard ass tackles and full contact gameplay.

Rugbys far more physical but you get more injuries in football because you get idiotic defenders who enjoy running into posts, or is that just Chelsea?

[Loser]

Not all football is like the Premier League.

Hookers are at the front of a scrum so they don't have their heads inbetween someone's ass.

Footballers are "finely-tuned athletes".

Thats if you can call Tevez finely tuned. Great player in you're avatar btw.

I just drive though, we have our good rippers and good drivers, i'm not the best player, there is better.

That one made me laugh!

I guess so :)

In the Malls etc. they sometimes do, I also do a bit of Flanker but that dont have head inbetween butts :P

Malls, eh? Haven't heard of them before.. :P

[e5]

I prefer football more. But I like rugby, it's not my preffered sport though.

[brandon]

Yes, great player in you are avatar Geraint.

I love wimpy old football.

[Browney]

I play Hooker :P

Hoo...ker...? Whats a hooker? Oh yeah, sorry, you play inbetween the lads who do the real graft in the scrum, my bad (I'm a prop) ;).


Why do all rugby players think they're hard as nails?

they usually are :8


I agree with that one. I dont think im hard as nails, although tbh, i must be brave sticking my head inbetween our props butts in the malls :P

...remind me not to play with you.

[RareIce]

i prefer football, i only watch england in rugby, but to say football is for wimps well thats just wrong. Dont get me wrong rugby is full contact yes but football is not a wimps sport its very much physical and for diving in football, they dont dive because they are wimps, they dive to win a penalty or a freekick its more of a way to gain advantage rather than being a wimp, i cant see a rugby player diving can you? He's just get laughed at.

[Sepron]

football all the way, football is for intelligent people, skillfull and creative

[Immenseman]

Rugby is alright, football is a lot better which can easily be proved aside from opinions.

[Browney]

Football to watch, definately. But I just enjoy playing Rugby more. There seems to be a better attitude with Rugby players, most football players seem quite cocky.

[luce]

Football anyday so much easyer to follow i think!

[Geraint]

Rugby is ten times easier to follow than football. I don't see rugby fans being subjected to bubbles games and rendevous points to meet the police. Rugby fans can drink in the ground, football fans can't.

[RareIce]

well even alex ferguson said it himself, diving is more a tactic.
but of course you know best....:rolleyes:

[Excellent1]

Rugby is ten times easier to follow than football. I don't see rugby fans being subjected to bubbles games and rendevous points to meet the police. Rugby fans can drink in the ground, football fans can't.Exactly, we don't act like anti-social cry baby morons because our team lost a game.


well even alex ferguson said it himself, diving is more a tactic.
but of course you know best....:rolleyes:Perhaps he said that because it's become the norm in football? And I do know best :)

[RareIce]

yes its a way of gaining advantage winning freekicks, penalties if they can get away with it they're gunna do it, i thin you'll find thats what ive being saying.

I also remember you claiming to be a Manchester United fan. hmm.

Rugby fans also don't follow their sport. Apart from the odd one or two, Leicester, Gloucester, Munster, rugby fans don't travel away unless it's a game for their country. If there was no such thing as beer, I can categorically tell you that rugby crows would fall by 50% if more. Half of them only go to drink.

The difference between rugby and football is double-standards. Rugby get's all the benefits. What do us football fans get? Nothing.

[Excellent1]

Nothing.I am a Manchester United fan and have been since I can remember, doesn't mean I can't voice my opinion on the game does it? A lot of Rugby fans follow the sport.. Just because we don't have the biggest fan base in the world because we aren't fashion icons doesn't mean nobody follows us. Again you're wrong, they probably only drink in wales because they have nothing better to do other than drink themselves silly. How do we get benefits? Football gets all the money.

[RareIce]

So that means you all cheat then? Great sport :)

if you wanna call it cheating feel free, but its also a way of winning and gaining advantage i for one would get rid of this diving if i could but its a part of the game now. Plus football is more of an exciting game in my opinion.

I can tell you now that when Wales play football there are less arrests than rugby. Even when Wales have the same crowds, very very rare. Football fans are giving a bad name by the media. Here in Wales, rugby is the main sport. Everything football is bad, everything rugby is brilliant. The WRU want Wales football out of the Millenium Stadium.

I'd like to see how many rugby fans will go and watch their team if they had all this police treatment? About 2.

[CJW93]

Football

Diving is cheating I'm afraid.

[RareIce]

Diving is cheating I'm afraid.

yes it is but id call it tactics rather than cheating.

[CJW93]

I dont understand how diving isnt cheating

It clearly is

We can drink in the ground, not all the time. I went to a world cup game in France (England Tonga) and they only sold non alchoholic drinks!

[Excellent1]

yes it is but id call it tactics rather than cheating.Are you just dumb or can you not register that if you dive to get a penalty/free kick that you're a cheat.

[.Zi]

Are you just dumb or can you not register that if you dive to get a penalty/free kick that you're a cheat.

I agree with the bold.

[RareIce]

yes that is cheating dont you listen but what im saying is in todays game its more of a tactic!!

How many times...

I guess it is a tactic, but a cheating one!

[Geraint]

Rugby fans can drink in their seats, football fans can't. France only sell non-alcholic drinks because they hate alcohol and you can't even advertise it there.

[Judge Judy]

another debate on this :P


Malls, eh? Haven't heard of them before.. :P

he meant mauls
all im going to say is that i prefer rugby than to football

geraint, i don't see how france hate alcohol when they drink wine (lots and lots) xD

[Jackbee]

I don't care about how manly rugby is.. Football is wayyyy better!

[Bun]

Football.

[.Zi]

Football.

not very helpful, why do you prefer football?

[Bun]

not very helpful, why do you prefer football?
it's better.

[Loser]

geraint, i don't see how france hate alcohol when they drink wine (lots and lots) xD

Perhaps because he's referring to the fact it's illegal to advertise it in France.

Ah yes, he is.

[.Zi]

I dont see why you cant advertise it, lol. Anyway, my gumshield shrunk :(
