vanderark14 Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 Imagine singing in a pub after a sports event, only asreholes would do that of course.......... Link to comment
Bluto10 Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 Had years of the five\six nations.Generally all good natured stuff. Three times a year Edinb fairly pulls in the punters.Never seemed to have the pub \restaurant trade to match tho Link to comment
The Buzzard Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 Imagine singing in a pub after a sports event, only asreholes would do that of course..........It's not the actual singing I object to, it's the we're all pals together, better than football fans attitude that they seemed to be revelling in. Fed up hearing from her dad about how the atmosphere is so much better between rugby fans than football ones. 1 Link to comment

It's just two different sports, no need to compare them. Link to comment
OddJob Posted February 26, 2017 Author Share Posted February 26, 2017 The Guffs got a scare today like. Just keeping with the luck they seem to be having this tournament but fair play you need to make your own luck I guess Link to comment
Clydeside_Sheep Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 I prefer football to rugby, and I enjoy the element of spite between football fans, which gives football a certain edge: however its hard not to envy the ability of rugby fans to have a drink at the game, and the camaraderie they can enjoy together afterwards regardless of result. Their sporting rivalries are no less fierce because they can chat happily together and don't feel the need to kick shit out of each other. Link to comment
Clydeside_Sheep Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 England got a scare from the eyeties today, up until the latter collapsed near the end. If the first-half italian kicker was worth the name, it might have been different. Link to comment

Maybe their choice of songs just pissed me off! Hope me saying flower of Scotland is awful does not offend your sensibilities! Proud Scot but not a fan of the anthem. Not at all mate! I used to really like the song to be honest, but of late have been thinking its something of a dirge! Link to comment

Agree completely, there nothing to stop someone enjoying both sports. Some of the comments you get from both sides are said from a position ignorance. Not every football fan is a thug whilst not every rugby fan is a posh public school boy. https://www.google.co.uk/amp/www.bbc.co.uk/news/amp/39095623 Wind your neck in Jones you bellend.

Clydeside_Sheep Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 What did people here think of the Italian tactic of not forming rucks against the English, meaning they could circumvent the offside rule when the ball was on the ground? (I don't pretend I am very knowledge about the rules of rucks / mauls etc). I thought that was very clever, showing real thought behind their approach, but the english guy in work this morning is banging on about a "loopholes in the rules" I didn't catch all of it, but the interaction between james haskell and the ref was very funny - I presume it related to the unusual italian tactic (?). Haskell asked the ref something like "how can we stop this from happening?" And the french ref said: "I cant say - I am the referee, not your coach" Link to comment

And the french ref said: "I cant say - I am the referee, not your coach" the english guy at your work needs to dry his eyes, they still won in the end and it should have been more had Farrell not missed so many kicks. It was a great tactic from Italy, England could have got round it but they did't know what to to do. The embarrassment lies with the english players for not knowing what to do. Italy are not going to compete with England by going toe to toe so they had to try something different, it almost worked too. Link to comment
minijc Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 Woodward was pathetic after it "If England had knew that was coming they'd have scored 60 or 70 points" I don't think they would have as Italy wouldn't have kept on doing it if they were getting shagged senseless every time they tried it.

The Boofon Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 English cunts. Hope Scotland fuck them over or if not the tims do it the following week. Arrogant cunts. Link to comment
Clydeside_Sheep Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 the english guy at your work needs to dry his eyes I've passed that on for you To be fair he is a channel islander, so not proper english lol. It was a great tactic from Italy.....Italy are not going to compete with England by going toe to toe so they had to try something different, it almost worked too. Yeh I thought so, its all the more interesting when a team can come up with something unexpected. The English cant expect the opposition to play to England's strengths! I remember in years gone past, they used to always moan about us kicking all the time and "killing the game". I thought FFS they don't seem to realise we are trying to win this, and not trying to help them put on a rugby exhibition. Link to comment
Clydeside_Sheep Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 English cunts. Hope Scotland fuck them over We might well, with the form so far it is likely our best chance at twickenham in many years. We haven't won there since 1983 (!) so its way past time. Link to comment
Clydeside_Sheep Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 I heard the English moaned about Robert the Bruce's choice of ground at Bannockburn, because it prevented them using their cavalry and archers to full effect. Apparently we "ruined the spectacle" with our "negative tactics" Come on Scotland! Link to comment
tup Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 Saw Brian McClair watching the England rugby game and boozing in a pub just next to the playhouse yesterday evening. It wasn't CC Blooms I'd just like to clarify, was the one next door to that. Was full of rugby types all happy to wait ages to get served in a pub that reeked of fish. We gave it 5 trying to get served then left.He's an alkie, any excuse. Link to comment

Always a chance though.Sums it up for me, this is a bridge too far IMO. We haven't won at twickenham against England since 1983 and only twice since WW2 Link to comment
OddJob Posted March 11, 2017 Author Share Posted March 11, 2017 Yeah agree guys, want to be optimistic but I also just think the Guffs have had so much luck in the tournament too and it'll probably continue. In saying that tho, the fact they are aiming for equalling the All Blacks record of 18 consecutive wins could be a hindrance too and we could take advantage As long as it's a close game then I'll be happy. We are back and there's plenty of progress been made by us Link to comment
