Let's get two things straight;
Rugby League is not Rugby. Rugby is Rugby Union.
Next.... All sport is great, except Soccer. It's complete crap.

The grand poobah has spoken!

Soccer which is in fact the only real "football" game, as in played with the feet, and is the world game and the highest paid players of any sport in the world.

Looks like you and the yanks finally have something in common, the world series.

Have a look out your window cobber, the world is changing, a meteorite has hit the planet and the dinosaurs are dying.

I think what you wrote is actually the completest crap I have ever read.

You are right, but with so many refs they still get it wrong, which is what annoys me. It happened to the Roosters against Penrith in the first final last year, can't recall exact details but the one that stands out this weekend was Parra vs Manly, Manly's Jessie Alphabet ripped the ball out in a tackle, ref calls knock on. We see 5 x video replays before the scrum, all refs, touch judges and players see it was the wrong call. Yet it doesn't get changed. However if it was a tiny slap in the face from an arm bouncing up off the ball it'd get changed to a penalty. It is this part if the game that annoys me - either use all the refs to their potential or don't use them all.

Same with Titans, they shouldn't have lost that game. I can't believe the Knancy boys beat the Warriors either - I had they Knance's penned in for the wooden spoon.

Why would the refs be heavy thinkers when the players aren't?

They too are able to lift heavy things and drink the bitterest of beer and the boganest of bourbon.

Yep same argument I hear all the time. Doesn't change the fact that Soccer is boring and that any game where you kick the ball as an integral part of the game is called Football. If you want to use the ridiculous argument that Soccer is the only Football as the players use their feet then take a good look at a keeper and remove their use of their hands.

Don't know about you blokes but I was sport mad from a very early age and represented my state and country. I have been on building sites since I was 14. That's a lot of smokos and lunches sitting down with other tradesmen. Never ever to this day have I heard anyone bring up the subject of soccer.....ever !! Maybe because my surname doesn't end in 'S'

End in 'S' like Jones?

Wow nothing like couching your comments in racism.

So you represented your state and country in Rugby League? I call crap.

I have worked all over this country and most people have an opinion on most sports, the people that call say the likes of soccer crap are the narrow minded bigots who associate it with some kind of ethnic back ground which is quite funny seeing as it was a game invented by the English and exported world wide, you know the English Dave, some of their names can end in an 'S'.

Most people that declare a hate for a sport I tend to find are usually the ones that have never been successful at any.

Just my opinion.

Tend to agree with those comments and my name doesn't end with an S either

Stick to sniffing other blokes backsides and I have heard that a few of you chaps inject your digits into some chaps backsides and leave the thinking stuff to the people that can.

One player catching the ball with his hands doesn't equate to 13 players catching the ball with their hands and where there is only 2 people in the 13 a side game which actually have the capacity to kick a ball apparently and you have to pass it backwards to go forwards and you need a 68 metre wide marker to score, yeah, real difficult, real thinkers game.

At least with AFL there is real skill and real athleticism, real stamina, real thrills and no prostrate check ups on field.

Each to their own. It is simple for me, Soccer is boring to watch, and look at the behavior of the idiots at the games - the game is so boring they have to start fights and let off flares and burn down stands for excitement. That is my opinion.

Look at how boring the game is, the idiots that play the game come off the field to consume drugs to manufacture excitement.

The drug use and supply goes with the whole thuggery and pretend gangsters of the code.

I agree with you on that one Sandy, never did like that Bosnich bloke.
