Oh god, you're not one of them are you?

I take great pleasure in being a rugby bugger!


Buggery is all part of the game!

SultanOfSwing

I have no problem with anyone's orietnation, sporting or sexual. I just have little to no interest in rugby as a game.

I do take an issue when some of the rugby crowd looks down on football as if their crop of cauliflower eared, Edward VII bearded meatheads is somehow something to aspire to.

Rugby was the winter sport at my school and so it stuck in the system!

Personally I don't enjoy football

Since I've moved Stateside I've become a Hockey fan


And Ladies Beach Volleyball is a surprisingly engrossing sport!!

SultanOfSwing

It was the winter sport at my school too. I wanted to play football, we didn't have a team. Rugby was of no interest to me.

Nothing you can do about that.

That's one that I really can't stand. No real reason either, it just irritates the shit out of me by simply existing.

Ah that would be basketball for me, can't effin stand it

SultanOfSwing

Basketball is much more fun to play than watch. I can put up with it if it was on TV, but it often seems they'd save a lot of time if they just started the matches at 100 points each and played for 3 minutes.

Football, soccer, hockey, rugby, and especially basketball ... they all bore the tits off me. At least baseball, at the stadium not on TV, lends itself to drinking beer and relaxing with friends. Funnily enough the last ball/team sport I was any good at and enjoyed, was rounders, which wasn't much use in the UK after I left junior school at the age of 11 ; sometimes I think I was born and grew up in the wrong country.

Similar to F1 at the moment, watch the start, see if Rosberg or Hamilton get into the lead, wait for a mid field pile up, turn tv off


90 or so mins later, look to see if Hamilton or Rosberg won

SultanOfSwing

I haven't regularly watched F1 since about 2001, so I'll have to take your word for it there

I never used to care either way about Rugby (both codes) but having spent over 9 years in New Zealand, I now hate it with a passion. I particularly hate the All Blacks.

When an AB has broken his little toe and that is the top item on the main news then you know that the country you're living in has lost it's grip on reality and really needs to get a reality check!

Give me football any day.

SultanOfSwing

Rugby and sheep. Not much else, other than the LOTR connection, I suppose

Vitalstatistix

That's about the size of it. The only one of those that doesn't offend me is the sheep

If you had been male, I would have thought you were Welsh...

I've only just started watching it.
