I dont have a issue with either sport.I can easliy watch a game of football at any level,and enjoy it.Same goes for rugby and thats both codes.I enjoyed watching the tests game yesterday.What gets my back in football and rugby is some of the supporters.You can have decent conversation with some but each team will have some total tools.Who cant see anything but their own team.And that does go for Wire fans as well.The worst set of fans in football for me are Man Utd and in rugby it has to be Wigan.

i never understand this, a person could be 'a really big united fan', but they only go to the occasonal match but follow them on the television. If this same person said 'i'm a really big wires fan' and then went on to say they only went the occasional match they would be called an armchair supporter.

i dont like football though

I'm not "a really big United fan". In fact I hate them. However, as irony would have it I now find myself living less than half an hour's walk from their ground meaning, funnily enough, I do know a few "really big United fans" and they would most definitely regard the people you describe as armchair supporters and not "really big United fans" at all.

One mitigating circumstance mind, is that it's far easier to be priced out of supporting your team in football than it is in rugby. That doesn't mean the passion within you dries up just because your bank balance does though.

Football is progressively becoming unwatchable for me. I appreciate this is only my opinion, but its so pedantic you can't even fart near an opposing player without conceding a free kick. I tuned into the Liverpool Chelsea game yesterday and ended up switching over. There was a time when I'd happily sit down and watch two bigger teams for 90 minutes and enjoy it. However, the ref was either gaining some weird sexual pleasure from the mouth to whistle oral contact or the players were simply kidding him. I'll go with the latter to be fair.

Shame too. When I watch Prem League years from early 90's, it was a terrific sport to watch. I even managed (although I can't remember which channel) to stumble across as archive game from the 80's and these footballers were proper men. They didn't give a rat's , and unless the challenges were astonishingly wreckless, the whistle stayed silent.

I went to the game you mentioned yesterday and, with the exceptions of the Challenge Cup semi and final, I enjoyed it more than any Warrington match last season (Wigan away included).

As you say, it's just about opinions and personal preference.

My posts earlier in this thread about the perceived rivalry between the two sports reflect my views. They're both great games, but they're completely different games, so why there's needle between SOME (not all I know) fans of either towards the other is needless in my opinion.

Same for me, I used to love waking up to soccer am and then watching the game that followed it and the 4 hours of football on a sunday. But over the last couple of years the games have become so boring to watch( especially the games involving the "top 4")

How much you pay at Anfield nowadays?

£38-45

Jeez. Must be seats at the side with a good view?
