Even in those days I'm not sure if I really believed football was better or if I was just defending my first love. Now, absolutely no contest. Very sad.
Mind you, with the rugby it may just be that the cheating is harder to spot - there's plenty goes on, in various ways.
Not sure about that, Vicster - certainly at the top level there are cameras everywhere, and citing can happen after the event. I think the culture is still so different between the 2 sports - I know cheating & foul play DOES go on in rugby but it's not widespread and contaminating the game like it is (imo) in football. Listen to the players and coaches afterwards too - an honest appraisal of the game, not just a load of rollocks as in footballÂ
