Why is Rugby So Annoying?

[dancarter]

Not to mention the global appeal of the sevens game

[QUOTE=“Manuel Zelaya, post: 1058433, member: 377”]Soccer is the sport that most strongly attracts a class thing. One of the main reasons I react to soccer is that its invariably played and followed by lowlifes who don’t know how to behave themselves either on the field or in the stands/terraces.

Is there any other sport that requires the level of policing and segregation of rival supporters that’s needed in soccer?[/QUOTE]

That’s what happens when you appeal to such a wide dynamic, across the world.

I’d much rather it to the ‘West Brit don’t you dare boo God Save the Queen’ shitless brigade.

The games are so fucking mind-numbingly boring they have fight and act the cunt to keep themselves amused on the terraces.

Another big gripe of mine is when a soccer match finishes level in the First, Second, Third and Fourth Place League/Knock Out Cup or the World Cup, they resort to a lottery system to declare a winner. The penalty shoot out is probably a marginal advancement on the old tossing a coin method which pertained up to the early 70’s but its still idiotic. Why not have a replay or failing that just call it a draw like they do in test cricket.

@Rocko

inside there was an article by Billy Keane with the headline of “Smirking French Didn’t See This Minor Miracle Coming.”

I’d say the Smirking French still haven’t realised the stroke that Munster have pulled here

Ha! At least you can see what’s going on and not have to stare through a heap of lad’s arses to catch a glimpse of the ball.

It’s not a lottery system.

It’s a test of nerve and skill, both in relation to the taker and the goalkeeper.

@Manuel Zelaya

Chocolate Mice is wrong as usual when it comes to matters rugby. If you’re going to engage in an argument on rugby, at the very least you should master some very basic facts first. To compete in the European Rugby Champions Cup, French and English sides have to finish in the Top 6 in their domestic championships. 7 places are allotted to sides from Ireland, Wales, Scotland and Italy based on finishing positions in the Pro12 league. The remaining place is allocated to the reigning champions.

Top 7 make the champions cup is it?.. You gimp. You utter utter gimp… How did you start the whole conversation off? Giving out about the top four qualifying for the champions league was it?.. Myself and Farmer have destroyed you here, but you can have a losing point for taking part.

The conversation started off when you erroneously asserted that there was no qualification criteria to compete in European Cup rugby. You really should stay out of topics that you know nothing about.

Incorrect on both counts…push your back button there and you’ll see what’s what, mate.

Simon Zebo, end the thread.

[caoimhaoin]

@glasagusban

Elaborate on Zebo there. I’m not putting any meas in it but for example the score put him in their team of the week. The way my ster are playing this year is hardly conducive to a winger looking good either.

I have noticed everyone defends him very wide now. When he goes in he may get past a loose forward but generally he gets eaten up. He is not strong enough to make powerful breaks.
He gets on the ball a lot, but several times in the last 5 or 6 times I watched him he has gone on ridiculous selfish runs and has even gone the opposite way to overlaps on occasion.
Maybe he is trying too hard, but he is your standard selfish winger (nothing wrong with that) who is trying to play like something he is not, an inside creator. Some of this is due to opposition forcing him in, more of it is his own selfish/idiotic play.
He has improved his work rate an tackle alright.

But seriously, you take the score.ie as a good barometer? Complete armchair pundits.

I think I said in my post above I don’t put any meas in the score, just pointed out the difference in perception.

Ya sorry, I misread that

Kev how can you dismiss score.ie for being armchair pundits when that’s exactly what you are?
