The Anti-Rugby Football Thread

More evidence of people not understanding things properly, I’m afraid.

The BBC claim it was a scrum because Phipps touched the ball. The reality, when you read their statement is that he needed to intentionally touch it. I don’t believe he did. He was trying to play it originally but once the Scotch lad fumbles it forward then the Australian lad hasn’t a hope of not touching it. If he doesn’t mean to touch it then he doesn’t play anyone onside. It comes down to that interpretation. What isn’t at play is the issue of accidental offside - despite all the claims to the contrary that I referenced. It’s not accidental.

So you’re saying the people who set the rules, are wrong?

If you need help understanding my post then feel free to ask a question. Tim seemed to think it was accidental offside. So did half of Twitter. It wasn’t.

Unfortunately, he was interviewed afterward, and confirmed that he was, in fact, trying to play the ball.
He may have just been being polite.

I’ve won as many knock out World Cup matches as “legends” like O’Gara, O’Driscoll and Paulie.

Of course he was but he lost the race to the ball and then it was played off him. Anyway, I couldn’t care less, I just found the misplaced hysteria amusing.

Whoa. Whoa. Whoa.

We have the BEST FANS IN THE WORLD. Or are they the most nauseating pack of cunts of all time?

And what about Dave Kearney showing his bravery by getting his finger put back in? Well fuck me what a hard man. I’m sure he isn’t making anything of it but the Irish supportojournos are wet at the sight of it. Cunts, one and all.

[flattythehurdler]

Right.
In any case, I would venture that had it happened to our own BIG’s of either bent, the hysteria would have gone all the way up to eleven.

John Delaney has intervened in the dispute over the incorrect awarding of the penalty to Australia by proposing that Scotland be included as the fifth team in the semi-finals.

[Sidney]

These are the best fans in the world, pal.

This was the start of the nonsense. Good fuck.

We’re the laughing stock of the world.*

• The tiny minority that follows Rugby Union. The fifth most popular past time in Australia.

1. Wife beating
2. Racist abuse against Indigenous Australians
3. Knifey-spooney

What’s fourth?

Rooting your cousin

[dodgy_keeper]

Just take your beating.

The dream is over. You lost. You are out. The William Webb Ellis Cup ain’t coming to Glenstal, Blackrock College or Methodist College.

Dry your eyes mate. Four more years.

@TreatyStones

Rooting your cousin

That’s more popular amongst the type of Irish who emigrate to Australia. King hits against those Irish are probably fourth, I’d guess.

And as many All Irelands as Gary Kirby and Ciaran Carey??

Racist abuse against Indigenous Australians

Where does depriving itinerant, ethnic groups of basic human rights rank in Ireland?

Best fans in the world, though. Never forget it.
