    Rugby Thuggery

    The disciplinary fallout from the Lions' first Test defeat to New Zealand escalated when lock forward Danny Grewcock was cited for allegedly biting All Blacks hooker Keven Mealamu.

    This apparently happened 3 minutes after he came on the field. Dont know if it is true, but if it is proven Grewcock should be sent home and banned from rugby for at least 12 months. There can be no excuses for biting, it is a dirty cowardly act!
    Honest! I am not a secret Tim nor a closet Sham - I really am a Seagull.

    As a member of the grammar police, this "defeat to" really bugs me. Sky and now RTE are following this trend. It's "defeat by" or " loss to". Defeated by or lost to not defeated to.

    Rugby is a thug's game - it's assult in the guise of sport. Someone will be killed one of these days it's got so physical since the advent of the professional era. Soccer on the other hand has gone the other way - a mere touch sends a player into his death throes.

    It has to be ironic that Sky and Sky Sports wouldn't exist without football so, basically, those who subscribe to Sky are sponsoring/subsidising eggball coverage 'cos it wouldn't get on the sports channels otherwise since nobody looks at it.
    I get a satellite monthly which gives the satellite ratings and the only programmes that make the top ten are football and The Simpsons with the odd programme like Desperate Housewives or something like that.

    Don't know to which branch of the grammar police you belong, it is certainly not the spelling or punctuation departments!

    Rugby's a physical game. Less so since professionalism. Anyone who thinks rugby's for thugs should consider some of the great footballing hero's. Just for Conor we'll start with those nancy boys the Lids team of the 70's. Couldn't and wouldn't fight their way out of a boutique paper bag, and in no way bullied and kicked (and bribed) their way around the country/europe....

    You should have a full stop instead of a comma after the word "belong"

    Nice to see you don't even argue the point about Lids of the 70's being thugs, makes a change from claiming they were Champions of Europe....

    You have to laugh at this sh*t.

    Listening to the Sunday Show was pure comic genius.
    Some FF TD DEMANDING that something be done about it.
    Some other gobdaw saying he is SO ANGRY about this.
    Then that moron Hook positively foaming at the mouth (again)
    and then Tom McGurk almost in tears as he waxed lyrical about the fallen hero.

    What story was I listening to, I wondered?
    More famine in Africa, hundreds more bodies found in Iraq, the plight of the 2 out of 5 children that live in poverty in this country?
    No, SOMETHING MUCH MORE IMPORTANT THAN THAT.

    Some rugger boy gets tackled and injured in a rugger "game"...
    I'll repeat that again
    Some rugger boy gets tackled and injured in a rugger "game"...

    well f*ck me sideways, isn't that a TOTAL DISGRACE and THE MOST SHOCKING THING EVER!
    and we have to have an inquest on the national airwaves.....

    A makey up "team" from the tax evading, slave labour employing, gurrier class goes out to New Zealand to play some friendlies and act the maggot and we have morons falling over each other to clamber up the high moral ground when they do exactly what these f*ckers always do on a rugger pitch....

    You couldn't make this stuff up...
