I try to be neutral and polite but it is hard and getting even more difficult at times.

- 20 March 2016 11:22312155Well said Jan
- 20 March 2016 12:19312158I enjoy both games are you grouping all football fans as non civilised Jan if so its a bit out of order.
Each to there own when it comes to sport but you can enjoy more than one sport it is allowed you know.
On the Rugby it was good to see England get the Grand Slam but both Wales and France did make them earn it. Some good games over the last month with the best winning through.
Bit surprised Vic has not told us about back in the days when ********

- 20 March 2016 16:08312165There is plenty of vicious behaviour on the pitch of both sports which the relevant authorities have cracked down on over the years. At the final whistle players shake hands sportingly and all seems forgotten. There was a big furore last week over an England player making a racist remark which to me wasn't that serious as so much can be said in the heat of the moment and the player did apologise afterwards.
- 20 March 2016 19:41312173I was not having a go Jan, I know you said "some"
I always tell rugby players (those not bigger than me) that rugby players only play the game becouse they are not good enough to play with a proper shaped ball.
Had to laugh a few weeks ago when youngsters were doing training at Dover Rugby Club after it had been raining for over 24 hours. They were covered in mud, head to toe, the kids loved it, but I am not sure about their mums who were taking them home after in the car. - Brian Dixon
