I have. Loads of times. (I have lived in England since my early twenties). And then people are surprised when I am not.
It just makes for an awkward conversation born purely out of the comical stereo types that eggers are so keen to perpetuate and the ignorance of others.
You golf analogy is a poor one. You’d be better off comparing it to all Canadian loving ice hockey or something (I personally wouldn’t make such an assumption)

Re: WINDOWS SMASHED IN BALE’S BAR
Played for the school (St Albans) and Cardiff Boys rugby before going to secondary school (Lady Mary). A few of us were really looking forward to this, a chance to play football, the game that was always played in St Albans yard (well not just one game, there was always about 3 or 4 games going on, amazing looking back, same goals, 4 different goalies yet everyone knew which game they were involved in and which ‘tennis ball’ they had to chase). Anyway gets to Lady Mary, first day Frank f*cking Callus gets all the new form ones on the back yard to sort out our sporting choices. The bully shouts out ‘Who played for Cardiff boys last year? Move over there’ , a few of us moved, next thing ‘Who played for their school team last year? Join them’, Next thing he says to the ones left was ‘Right, you lot can do soccer😱😱 & cross country’!!!!!! There were obviously a few of us who were desperate to play football (In those day St Patricks was the only Catholic junior school to play football, so all us other Fenians had only known rugby as an organised sport). We actually had to get letters off our mothers requesting that their sons be able to play football. We ended up having a very successful football side but, Christ, we played in rags ( I’ve still got the photos of us in torn shirts, all different shades of blue) while the rugby sides had new kit every year, made us more determined though. By form 4 we shared the Seager Cup with the superstars😂😂 of Fitzalan 1-1, who incidentally turned up for the . final in brand new kit for the occasion while we were like the ragged arse Rovers. No recognition at assembly or anything though, we were the outcast ‘soccer’ lot. So I suggest Frank f*cking Callus is arrested for putting Bale’s windows through and even though I’m writing this lying in a Benidorm hotel bedroom with a Monday morning hangover I’m willing to say I saw him do it👍

..similar scenario at my old school. All the teachers bar 1 or 2 were typical rugger chaps - there was no way football was going to get a look in,even though practically everyone played football at break and lunch time...

Same here. All rugger buggers in Ponty Grammar, rugger boys get automatically picked for cricket (which I liked) as well. Grrrrr. No organised football.
As above, unchtimes, school yard filled with boys playing footie. Not an egg shaped ball in sight

My P.E teacher was an ex-scrum half for Llanelli and the other one was flanker for Pontardawe so absolutely no chance of football for us. We had to make do with a kick around after school.
It's short-sighted really because I was half decent with a football but some of the lads in my school seemed very talented. I wonder how much football talent is wasted in South Wales' schools?

Re: WINDOWS SMASHED IN BALE’S BAR
You lot swear you was deprived from playing football ffs I played one game in high school but to be fair at that age the only time I wasn’t playing football I was either in school or sleeping

We had a lad back then who refused to represent the school at rugger on a Saturday morning as he wanted to play football for the YMCA team in our village,once the school got wind of this they sent a letter to the YM asking them not to pick him,how the **** could they get away with that

Re: WINDOWS SMASHED IN BALE’S BAR
We have a "Keep Cardiff tidy" campaign so maybe we need a "Don't smash up places where investment has been made, unless investment is more damaging to the area than good" campaign also.
It's not a catchy name but it could be backed up by the "firefighters save lives so stop distracting them with starting stupid fires deliberately, you fecks" that thankfully hasn't been needed for a little while but was relevant at one point.
Seriously though, stop littering and try to keep Cardiff (and Wales) a bit of a nice place to live in?

Same here, replace Cardiff references with Porthcawl Secondary Modern but I can't remember the games teacher's name, saw him hit a kid across the face with a dap one games lesson. Younger readers might need to translate 'dap', I suppose the closest thing these days are trainers.

Is it healthy to harbor such a resentment towards a sport because your games teacher 50 years ago was a prick?

Definitely not, the repression and projection around rugby on this board is crazy. Could fill a psychiatrist’s diary for a month.

Is it healthy? Probably not :hehe but l personally harbour no resentment toward rugger l just have no interest in it,what l do find strange is how you or indeed anyone can be committed to two sports in direct opposition.

You don’t need to be committed to a sport to enjoy it though.
Half of this board should be committed with how wound up they get over a sport they don’t enjoy though.

I went to the rugby on Saturday, had a great day out .
Its a day out , its entertaining . I don't have a clue about rugby in general but enjoy the ambience and the occasion.
You can hardly be committed to International rugby , there are too few fixtures for a start.

Hope you don’t include me in that.
As I said, I played it eventually through choice and enjoy watching the game itself.
Doesn’t stop me being pissed off about my games teachers and their treatment of pupils who preferred other sports and that the attitude of a lot of rugby fans towards football and football supporters is ridiculous and hypocritical

The same could be said about football fans attitude to rugby I understand why people like yourself would feel resentment towards the way school treated sports we all went through the same thing some worse than others but it never really bothered me even knowing I enjoyed playing rugby (not as much as football) I should’ve been playing in the backs and my fecking teacher thought it best to play me in the second row with lads twice my size :hehe: but I still don’t get the hatred towards it we should be celebrating that this amazing small country is good at something :wales: I want us to win even if it’s hopscotch and that’s what winds me up

Llanedeyrn High..1st year..Dennis Ellis PE teacher (Penarth scrum half)..1971

Me and Jonathan Morgan walk to the right.
" Davies..I know your Dad..move over to the left."

Same in Basssaleg.
At the "welcome to parents of new pupils" thing, circa 1965, one dad asked if his son, who showed promise at football (soccer) , would get any coaching to help him develop.
The head's response was
"No, this is a grammar school - we play rugby here" !!
****ing snob.

Re: WINDOWS SMASHED IN BALE’S BAR
I can't believe so many Egg lovers get wound up that some Welsh football fans either dislike rugby or are just ambivalent to it.
It doesn't bother me that eggers hate football or call it Wendyball.
Everyone has a choice and I hate rugby .
