Apple Posted November 21, 2022 Share Posted November 21, 2022 I like watching football and followed my home teams diligently. Or used to. No more. Since footballers are able to "create" certain situations that they or someone else has bet on reduces it to the level of a one armed bandit. Very apt. Won't be watching the match today. None of them have any integrity left. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was against the rules at the time. The player, the director of rugby, a physiotherapist received lengthy bans and the GMC suspended a doctor. That's what's so telling about the incident, it was organised at the highest level of the club. It wasn't just a player acting in the heat of the moment, or even a rogue player taking a bribe, it was a management decision to get an advantage. That's an extreme illustration of what I hate about Rugby it so pragmatic and passionless. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair fc iom could have gave them a tougher match. Iran were terrible. England will go far but that back 4 will be their undoing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sang by a few pissed up rugby heads who think a team dancing like girls (“the Hakka”) is something to behold. Whereas listening to the crowd sing “Abide with me” at an F A Cup final will truly make the hairs on the back of your neck stand up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only football I watch is the FA Cup Final, the odd Champions League and the World Cup. So I was pleasantly surprised at how entertaining the game was with top skills being on show especially in front of goal. Of course VAR had to show up how haphazard refereeing is and added to already too much stoppage time. I'll probably watch some more...
