The Anti-Rugby Football Thread

They battered dodgy’s boys the last time they played them too

You can sing that .

Lads comparing hurling matches from over 100 years ago to modern rugby is very strange

@dodgy_keeper is one of these Man U fans who supported them as they were the club that was winning everything when he was a kid. If he was 10 or 15 years older he’d be a Liverpool fan. The history and pedigree of a club like Atletico Bilbao would be lost on the likes of him.

Delighted for Stuart Lancaster. Redemption for a very dignified man.

You made a ridiculous comparison. Move on and up your game son

Not a ridiculous comparison. Playing the biggest European Cup rugby final in Bilbao or Newcastle is like playing the All Ireland hurling final in Belfast

Did you make the same point when UEFA selected cardiff as the venue for last year’s champions league final?

Or hosting a soccerball world cup in South Korea or the USA

Wales got to the last four of the last European Championships mate

South Korea got to the semi finals mate

Sure england won the rugby world cup why wouldn’t they go to newcastle?

When it was hosted in Korea… mate

Spain have qualified for a rugby World Cup finals a lot more recently that the last (and only as well I believe) by Wales in a soccer Wirld Cup in 1958.

The insular nature of many GAA fans coming to the fore again here. They wouldnt go down thw road to see a game without complaining. Magnificent efforts by world rugby to grow the game globally

Nobody in Newcastle watches rugby. If they did they wouldn’t have to play the rugby final in a soccer stadium

If the World Club Cup Final is on in Wales soon you can bring that up so mate

And?

Newcastle are in the semi finals of the premiership in england. They played in st james park a few weeks back
