Rugby! A game played by men with odd shaped balls

[piskieinboots]

oh so yes

I'm an odd girlie, I don't like shopping, I don't own many shoes, I don't like chocolate, I adore Rugby with a passion, I ride motorbikes and I even know what a knock on/line out/forward pass/high tackle is .... I need therapy

[pigletwillie]

Mmmm,

I play rugby !!!

[piskieinboots]

good man erm piggy top sport

I watched Lawrence D on Top Gear a while back and he said they call the Footie leagues The Andrex League - incredibly soft and unnecessarily expensive - ROFLMAO

[pigletwillie]

I clocked that one as well and smiled greatly. We have a home game on Saturday unless the pitch is frozen (again).

My next calender hit is any game played by Leicester Tigers or my club, Aylestone St James RFC.

[HeyWayne]

Football - the gentlemans game played by hooligans.
Rugby - the hooligans game played by gentlemen.

I can't be doing with football, no interest at all. Lady Wayne watched the England/SA game during the World cup (she'd never watched a game before, but fancied watching it this year for some reason..) and she was amazed at how the dudes would run at each other, bounce off one another and then get back up with blood running down their faces. Football, there only has to be a change in wind direction and they're stretchered off.

Been watching rugby for years. Good work fellas!

To answer your question though piskie - CHRISTMAS!

[piskieinboots]

Christmas? isn't that over yet?

Leicester YAAY me too

I love both sports - being from Liverpool it's compulsary to be either a red or a blue (I'm a red, always have been!) - but neither one in the extreme. My calendar? Roundhouse with OH children tomorrow for the Cirque de Soleil, Sunday lunch out with friends, then Christmas Day at long last! After that - a visit to Liverpool/Wirral/Chester to see family and friends - and my brain won't stretch much further at this time of year I'm afraid!!

What's next on your calendar?

'Office' lunch out today with Mum (reckons that she's the office cleaner as so is entitled ) and Rita who works for me, but used to work for mum some years ago.

Working from home means that the idea of doing a 'go for a beer at lunchtime' thing is waaaaaaaaaaay long gone, so this is a bit of a novelty!

Rugby AND football bring it all on!! Can't beat watching sport so much better than the majority of mindnumbing mundane stuff on the rest of the time.

I think with football you've got to look past the diving, play acting antics and see it for what it really is - an explotation of the rules. Football for the most part 'should' be non contact so its so different from rugby. In rugby everyone knows what goes around comes around and theres far more respect for both brawlers and non-brawlers alike! The problem with football is the refs. They are (and have been for too long) weak and feeble for the most part and players take advantage. They need to clamp down hard and regain respect as a result but they won't because the FA is weak through and through. Nobody wants to see matches littered with red cards but it has to happen for the long term greater good in my opinion.

Still, don't get bogged down into just rugby. Enjoy them both!

By the way I'm looking forward to turkey hash in the days after Christmas. Don't get me wrong I like the full trimmings and everything but theres just something about the last bits or turkey mashed up with spuds that pleases me every year...
