Idiot hands his Lions place to a better player

Rugby can be boring if you don't understand it, just like any other sport. But we've had that discussion before.

The point I made is that authority is respected far more in rugby than it is in football.

Perhaps it is because the rugby fraternity - players, fans, administrators - are more likely to be from backgrounds where discipline and respect is valued.

Or maybe more intelligent, given their traditional roots in grammar schools and the city.

Nope it's because there is much more at stake in big football matches, literally millions of pounds. Also the footballers are all generally magnitudes of order richer than the rugby players which generally leads to a more fearless and rebellious attitude.

If money is all that is important then you have already lost the point of the game...

I think that's the general problem with football altogether, it is just about the money and not the game itself

Are they sure they're cut out to be a footballer?

The difference between the sports was there before Sky created those millionaires, and is still there now there are millions on the line at the top of rugby.

How about fans?
