It is bad enough listening to the talk of the NRL but at least that is watchable and a game does not last 3 weeks either. Give me the beautiful game any day of the week.
Now I must go to bed soon as I need a full nights sleep so I am alert for the release of RW tickets in the morning. Scalp scalp scalp.

Re: Wot about the footy ?
I am being serious when i say that you are wrong Its a good game and the only sport that i LOVE to watch. But its horses for courses. I hated being in Queensland a few weeks ago with no FNF it just felt wrong and i was so glad to get home for that reason 
sad, but true
Good luck with the scalping!

As for "Why do some BE people feel that the have to continually slag off Aussie Rules for no apparent reason?", READ THE ORIGINAL POST
The question was asked whether AFL is a replacement for football, which it quite obviously isn't, and so you are going to get people's opinions on why that is the case. Not really slagging off for no reason.

Who'd have thought that the word soccer would have caused so much gnashing of teeth - just because it sounds a bit girly

Maybe if we shouted racial abuse, swore & spat at each other or chanted Were gonna kick your f***ing head in at the Aussie rules it might appeal more to the soccer lovers.
