Rugby Union is a good sport to play, but fucking shit to watch and most of the Rugger fans I've met have been utter utter cunts.
League, however, is fucking brilliant.

I agree. It's a grand sport - few thinks are as inherently as much fun as drinking loads and shouting loudly in support of a portly man wearing a bad outfit (I reckon Peacocks must supply all those shiny pique darts tops). It's a good humoured, unstuffy sport that doesn't take itself too seriously. And the commentary can be wonderful.
Snooker on the other hand is as dull as a spectator sport as can be. Fuck knows why people go to watch it live - you have to sit there in silence and squint at a distant table. It's better fun watching it outside in the venue bar, the only place you can drink.
Golf's shit too. And Tennis must be the most bone-numbingly dull game these days - good for loosening the neck, fuck all use for anything else.

Bollocks. I've got to say that - after years of stewarding at Wembley - Rugby League fans were (to stereotype) generally a bunch of racist, frequently aggressive boozed-up tossers. More trouble than any other sport ime, although admittedly the provision of alcohol to them (football fans couldn't get any) back then didn't help.
Say what you like about union fans, but they're remarkably polite and tolerant ime. We were one of the most mixed-up teams in the country I suspect, yet we encountered a warm welcome in even apparently the most stuffy and poncey areas of the country.

I've watched League AND Union games up North and it's a family sport up there so everyone's very well behaved, even cheering a rival team when they make a good tackle

I was saying the game of rugby union is shit to watch, compared to league.
I've met far more union fans than I have league fans, to be honest, and IME they (the ones I've met) were in the majority, cunts. But thats not the question is it.
Rugby Union is a boring sport.
I find League really tedious to watch, mainly because of the lack of competition at the breakdown.souljacker said:
Meanwhile, I am salivating at the prospect of the triple-header this weekend of England-Argentina, Ireland-South Africa and France-New Zealand.
But then I am a southerner. So maybe it's just not in my blood.
Maybe it was because I was stewarding the special occasion games in Wembley, but the crews that descended on Wembley for the challenge cup (?) were pretty awful ime. One of the least diverse crowds I ever had the misfortune to work among - and one of the most consistent to racially abuse me and the fellow stewards.
This was 15 years ago mind, so it may well have changed a little.
International Rugby Union can be a great game to watch - few league games would get anywhere close to the entertainment value of the Wales V Australia game, where the offload in the tackle makes all the difference. None of that plunging into the floor and doing that dolphin brakdance shit into the ground. I actually prefer playing league, but it's too predictable - like an American Football variant without the pass

If professioanl footballers played their sport with just 10% of the professionalism, honesty and sportsmanship that pro golfers play their sport, football would be an infinitely better game. Miles fucking better. Just a thought.
The worst sport has got be either American Football or Baseball.
American Football is an interminally dull game, played at a snails pace. It is a game where the gaining of 5 yards in territory is met with enough whooping, hollering and high-fives to suggest the winning of a war. They take a break every 8.4 seconds and the viewer gets assaulted with more ads than a than a month spent wading through FHM. To top it all off, it is a game that is mostly played by closet gays, rapists and thickos. If any of them had to play a proper game ...like Rugby Union or Rugby League, they'd be fucked.
And they have the bare-faced fucking nerve to refer to this game as 'football' despite the feet hardly being used. Inexplicably, a game where the feet are used, they refer to as 'soccer'. Or 'sarker'.
Baseball is just the idiot son of Cricket.
And to top it all of, the winning teams in these American only sports call themselves "world champions".
Cunts.

Football in Ireland is also used to refer to a sport where the hands are used - and soccer is what you call association football - in your country a popular shows is called 'soccer AM' - go and indeed figure

while there is debate about baseball and the worlds series - i am prety sure that winners of the NFL Superbowl don't generally refer to themselves as world champions
Zed, you come across as a type who was well schooled and learnt the importance of proper sports such as rugger, golf and disliking the colonists, the thickos and the closet gays.
eton was it?

Actually I grant you Gloucester is supposed to be pretty good.
Chorlton, don't be a pedantic cunt all yer life.
In the Ryder Cup you're quoting in 91, the "cuntishness" only came from one side. Guess which one? And anyway ...you see more displays of cuntishness ever< Saturday between 3 and 5 in most countries in the world that play football.
The stuff about American Football and Baseball was tongue in cheek. But then you knew that already didn't you?
But keep going. You're funny. We need funny here. Seriously.
PS ...not Eton, no.

I don't think Golf and Football are comparable so it's pointless saying that "if footballers acted like golfers the world would be so much nicer" . Ok footballers can be a bit over the top but they play a fast paced physical sport directly against opposition so it's understandable that they lose it more often than golfers playing what is effectivly a solitary , slow paced sport !
