To the Welsh here

[TheEarl]

Well done. You deserved it. We were crap.

Now leave me alone .






Bollocks!

Yeah, they did deserve it.

But, I'm feeling really sorry for the Scottish today, they deserved to win against France. Some poor decisions (in my opinion) went against them.

Swing low, though, eh, Earl.

Show you're angry instead.

That is typical of you rugby supporters.

If you were a football supporter you would say


Go back to shagging sheep, you Welsh Bastards!

(Like when Man U, the filthy bastards, beat us the other night, eh? They didn't fucking deserve that win!!! )

Listened on net, sounded a bad game.

Pisser.

Never mind, it's only the Welsh*.

Ah, rugby. That explains why I haven't heard a single word about it.


But then again, I guess the rest of the world don't give a damn that we beat the crap outta Finland in the world championships yesterday either.

World championships of what?

Exactly. Take a guess. It's a major thing over here.

I'll do no such thing. I expose my ignorance enough as is. I need no prompting from you.

See? It looks so obvious, but it would've been my 5th or 6th guess (if I got to it at all).

Um, congrats?

Just in case... No, it's not hockey.

And thanks

Oh, hell.

Toljya I needed no help exposing my ignorance!

Hey Lou,

You sound slightly bitter. Did we not deserve the four goals we scored away from home, then?

Ha, I've never understood the reluctance of Arsenal and their fans to just take a defeat like the twatting to your dignity that it is. When Arsenal won the title at Old Trafford, we sent a case of champagne into their dressing room. To me, that's class.

Anyway, we're both waaaay behind Chelsea so it's a moot point.

And I have a question for the Ice Hockey fans. Did this world championship include Canada and the USA, or were they barred because of the NHL lock-out? I genuinely have no idea.

The world championships are later in the spring. Usually at the same time as Stanley Cup playoffs for some strange reason. I see no reason why the US and Canada should be excluded. Instead, they might have better teams since the best players will not be busy.

I do not follow rugby. However, I have heard the difference between (soccer) football and rugby described.

"Rugby is a hooligan game, played by gentlemen. Football is a gentlemen's game, played by hooligans."

And I heard that the difference between Rugby and Australian Rules Football is that uppercuts are not standard offensive maneuvers in rugby.

 

[haldir]

Rugby is God's own game my ladles and jelllyspoons. Knock seven bell sof shit out of each other for 80 minutes and then go and get wellied afterwards.

Also - our fans don't need to be segregated.

Tatelou - thanks for the comisserations - we wiz robbed!!!!

Better go - doing this at work could get me in trouble

My son plays rugby, which has lost all traces of the snooty reputation it used to have in the south of England. But I still prefer watching football, because there's fewer stoppages. I really don't get american football. That's really frustrating to watch. And it goes on for ever.

 

[steve w]

American football? Four hours to play a one-hour game? Big heavy people pushing each other and playing pattercake? Too much padding? Three different "teams" in the same team? Kickers score the most points each season but everyone ignores them?

Nope, I don't really get it either. Maybe it's better when you see it live, without John Madden droning on about sweat, and without 3,000 Coors commercials.

No, then it's just even more boring and annoying.

On related news, Portugal beat Georgia 18-14 in a brutally tough encounter with a last minute try.

Portugal is now on top of Division One of the European Nations Cup, which is the Championship of European nations where Rugby is an amateur sport. Division One is sometimes referred to as 'Six Nations B'. Portugal is currently 8th on the overall European ranking, behind England, France, Ireland, Wales, Scotland, Italy (the pros), and Romania.

Thanks Lauren Hynde.

Too much focus on the pros and not enough on the amateurs.

look forward to seeing Portugal in the next RWC.

ps - brutal games are the best - no?
