Rugby - Far better dealt with then football

Pretty sure that guy who jumped off the ferry isn't middle class.

Explain why, because really, you don't know do you, so really, you're saying only a working class kid could do summat like that arent you, bit pathetic that to be honest..

Wrinkly has this spot on, the reason rugby players do as they're told by the ref is that ANY chat back gets a yellow, and coaches and players across the land appreciate what damage that can do to the cahnces of winning in a game. That respect started by te refs across every level in rugby giving a ten yard advantage for every word said, that should be introduced to football in my opinion, it would stop the back chat immediately.

Having said that, football refs tend to be egotistcal knob heads, so would turn it into a farce on many occasions, but worth a try nonetheless.

Like Mike Dean, who thinks every game has been arranged to be a support act for his posturing

I have played football most of my life and i am disgusted by the antics of the PRO FOOTBALLER, they are not men.
Most cheat, feign injury, mouth at the ref and believe themselves superior beings.

Rugby is played by hard men with discipline and character. Footballers in the pro game should be made to watch the rugby lads and they should be made to feel embarrassed by their antics.[The footballers I mean}

I don't think England's Pacific players have the same background TBH, they're usually from quite poor backgrounds and are often the breadwinner for an extended family back home, there have also been some English League players playing for England who don't have the same background either.
