Fighting every where ( rugby)

I work for a railway company in Wales and last nights was prob the worst I’ve seen in terms of how many fights were on board trains and platforms shocking how football is always seen as the problem these fans come in to Cardiff for the day get pissed can’t handle it and cause trouble yet hardly ever gets mentioned

Never will, the media and people will always give football that stereotypical view and rugby is not the cause of it, it's the whole atmosphere around it.. attracts idiots.

hasn't this been done to death on here?

Can we make the rugby snobs at the BBC and Wales online aware of this ASAP???

Police chiefs have been talking about this lately, shaming rugby fans. First time I have EVER seen it highlighted, normally it’s brushed under the carpet and called high jinx. Front of the echo last year and in here as a result. Basically saying how otherwise normal people turn into complete pissed cnuts at the rugby and dint even know or remember what they have done.

Louts were drunk at 10am getting on train in carmarthen with bags of cans lager! Was refusing to get out of reserved seats and still another 2.5hrs to cardiff God knows what state be in by time arrive? Lucky we were getting off.

I worked with a guy who was a big rugby fan, hated football, we had a disagreement when I mocked the egg, he threatened to cut my throat and bomb my house, the silly twonk did this in the middle of a canteen in front of people and management, needless to say he was sacked

Hate the egg and always will.

I dont think that had anything to do with the egg mate, I think he was probably just a nut job

You could be right there, he blew hot and cold a lot, calm one minute, nutty the next ha.

Pembroke, me and the missus were told to f**k off by them when we tried to have our reserved seats, now I don't care if the big hard egg chasers tell me to f**k off because I know most of them are thick but not the missus, guard didn't want to know said there's too many of them.
Bet the fool who left his mates and went for a piss in the station toilets alone wishes he hadn't bothered now.

Lucky from carmarthen as train every hour from milford it's 2hrs! but having said about rugby fans we catch 9.20 from hwest on a sat few times a year and it's loaded with stag or hen parties heading for cdf and they're half cut at that time morning!
And coming back on 5.50 it's as if all of Swansea wants to get on train!

This is worse than the Man City ticket saga. Club rugby you will not see any fighting at all, however international rugby guy is seen as the biggest excuse for a lash up in the annual calendar for the majority.

And there is nothing to say those fighting were not at the rugby etc. Yes football gets a bad wrap, that is because historically named gangs of hooligans were hell bent on having it on their toes tooled up.

Labelling this as hooligans etc really it will never be treated the same due to the history of organised football violence 46 games a year in comparison to 6-7 international rugby matches a year.

The people fighting on the train are probably the shame shandy drinking louts that look for a scrap every weekend.

I watch both sports and I enjoy a rugby day, I never feel threatened, it’s a bit different with the football, I don’t go out for a football day, you have to keep your wits about you, and that is from our own coked up knuckle dragging fans who can’t move on. There is no point comparing the two. Both have there downfall.

If don't go out on football day how do you know what it's like? Guess you go on reputation of 30yrs ago?

I think not drinking to keep your Whits about you at the football is a but overkill mate. OK away at villa or Millwall but at the CCS? You got more chance of a fight in a pub on a random sat night than you have in canton before a game or at the CCS.

Absolute drivel, you have more chance getting kicked shit out of on an international rugby day than any match down the CCS.

Fair play you're a clown.

Not drivel, football unfortunately is still full of People who can’t let go, or want to be the next generation hooligan.

There was also a thread only a couple of weeks some lad was punched in our ground by one of our own! Like it or not we have too many stuck in he dark ages. You can’t compare especially the internationals which are followed by followers of rugby and football.

It’s a sad fact, I will always watch both I support both and maybe in my old age the rugby appeals because you simply don’t get any grief. Either way it is what it is.

Slightly misleading headline this.
I expected to read that there was chaos in Cardiff with brawls in the streets.
I am a football fan and rugby, so I have no axe to grind here. There are no mass brawls but bad behaviour by so called "fans" who treat this as a day on the "P***".
I took one of my grandchildren to the Australia game and was appalled by the behaviour and lack of interest in the game by the row in front of me.
In summary I think it is generally "fight" free but there is no doubt the majority of proper rugby supporters do not attend internationals any longer.
