    Rugby World Cup

    Thank you for those kind words, sicko. The title of this forum is Football and Other Sports. Rugby is another sport. The title of this thread is Rugby World Cup, so why don't you go forth and multiply, old prune?

    Was that criticism? I thought it was how Grumble addressed everybody.

    Rugby World Cup

    Because this particular football club plays at the same stadium where my club plays, and because this site has a forum designated for my club, and also has a thread about the Rugby World Cup. I rarely post, yet the site has sent me several plaintive messages, inviting me to come back. Perhaps...

    I came to that conclusion a long time ago. He seems permanently angry. Best to follow the advice I was once given: never argue with idiots. They end up dragging you down to their level. So I'll leave him happily playing with himself in the sun. Of course I have no history of ccfc posts. I do...

    Dear Grumble, If nobody here gives a sh1t about the Rugby World Cup, why is this thread now on its 8th page? Plenty of people seemed very happy to engage in a civilised, good-humoured discussion, and then you crawled out of your hole. I did not attend an independent school and why do you...

    Rugby World Cup

    "When the rugby lot won it most people shrugged their shoulders and said "that's nice" You must have missed the million or so people who lined the streets of central London for the open-top bus parade. You must also have missed the thousands who turned up at Heathrow, in the small hours of a...

    I watched him many times. It wasn't a one-off. He spent hour after hour on the training pitch, practising with both feet. I remember meeting a former pro footballer (1st Division), shortly after England had flopped in some championship, because (according to all the pundits) they didn't have a...

    One further thought. The question was asked "What could football learn from rugby?" In 2003, England won the Rugby World Cup when Jonny Wilkinson dropped a goal with his weaker foot. How many England footballers can make effective use of their 'weaker' foot? How about getting all young...

    "I switched off after the first line, sorry old bean" The first line was a quote from one of yours. Does the man with the hairstyle name earn £250K per annum? Several Premiership clubs have crowds which match football's championship, and the new TV deal is very lucrative. The French TV deal...

    Correction - Frankie Sheahan's ban was cut, from two years to three months. That was back in 2003.

    Rugby World Cup

    "You just cannot compare the two in my opinion, Football players have no loyalty but thats because they have more options to better their careers financially. Rugby doesnt have this issue apart from in France, oh and look at English players chasing the coin there now also. " Very few English...

    Changes to the Ricoh next season - Waggott

    Lots of people looked ridiculous when they were running the London Marathon. What's far more important is that they raised huge sums for charity. If they want to wear silly costumes/whatever, it's up to them. The wigs are not being handed out. People are being asked to make charitable...

    Changes to the Ricoh next season - Waggott

    I'll take that as a yes. Hope you never need the help that charity provides.
