Rugby v Football

Rugby is going the same way though mate. Infact, you get people playing for the likes of Caerphilly who have egos twice the size of Tevez

What a interesting post. Fantastic insight to what many are thinking these days

Until the world cup is over then many will say rugby what is that.

always moaning, only thing you've fallen out of love with is the hype of following a city, your a plastic

next week you'll be selling your season ticket, hating rugby, keeping your ticket loving rugby

just admit it

Nah he is not a plastic but a youngster going through the menapause.

I and most of my fellow supporters went thorugh it during the 70s, 80, and 90s. After a certain age whatever happens to football you are stuck with it. No more menapause.

Ely Boy will be at CCS when he gets to my age. He just does not realise it yet.

I'm neither a plastic (actually prefer the darker days) nor going through the menopause. I'm 31 years old and saying what a lot are thinking. The beautiful game is now all about the beautiful smell of money. Clubs hanging around hoping for some investor from faraway seas with I'm neither a plastic nor going through the menopause.

Clubs hanging around hoping for some investor from faraway seas with no interest in football to throw money at them. Malaysia as a sponsor, you're having a laugh!

I know exactly where you're coming from, I agree with you. I just think the likeminded amongst us have to stick together, or 'the lunatics will take full control of the asylum'.

Just letting them and their ways win if we all give up

Open it to Sport in General - becoming purely financially driven and thus making everyone seemingly 'Ultra Professional@ (my arse).
Too high wages etc and the we must never lose at any cost mentality = Boring sterile entertainment.

But the dark days were that DARK, we need a happy in between

Over the last few months a monumental shift in my love for both games has occurred. Rugby was my first love, used to watch Cardiff down the Arms Park before my uncle took me to the greatest place in the world, Ninian Park. Atmosphere, passion, met the greatest friends I've ever met and sparked my intense love affair with Cardiff City.
If only football was the same nowadays, over the last month I've been watching the rugby players putting their bodies on the line, getting paid a tenth of what the footballers do, singing the anthems with passion and emotion, hard men putting their all into the match. What does football have these days? Mercenaries interested in only one thing...money. Carlos Tevez, need I say anymore.

All this taken into consideration I still love football but moving to the CCS has been the final nail in my footballing coffin. We have a passionate manager and a team that want to play for Cardiff but the powers that be are intent on turning football crowds into families who spend money and sit on their hands politely clapping players who earn more in a week than I do in a decade.

Money has ruined football beyond belief, many of the 'old school' fans are dropping off and I'm one of them.

This should evoke a good discussion but I've simply stated my emotions and a lot of facts.

RIP football!

Simon, have you bumped your head again!

What a pompous post. If you don't like football, then don't go to games. Fine. But spare us the lectures. Cherio.

You are part of the problem. You take your bird to the game.

Cant have it both ways EB.

Rugby is trying to emulate football, their shirts are starting to look like football training tops, the players are wearing football boots and they get into as much shit as their football counterparts. Some thick egg chasers think football is non contact, say that to shane long. Diving, cheating? Bloodgate scandal shows that rugby players cheat too. Football players being pricks? Gavin henson is probably the biggest tw*t this country has ever produced
