Apathy towards the egg.

[goats]

I've hated the rugby for time.
To see where Welsh football is in comparison makes me very happy.
I remember a long time ago now being at a family party and my dad having a disagreement with an in law about the sports the other bloke was so one eyed he told my father that they should ban football in Welsh schools !
Oh yeah his occupation was a school teacher !

Sounds like he was one of my many rugby loving PE teachers in the 80’s….one of the reasons I hate it. Hope the wru go bust and relocate all matches to Llanelli where it has some meagre support still…

I was in secondary school in the mid-60's and there was no option to play soccer.

For winter sports If you weren't big enough to play rugby you had to go cross country running. It was also said that 'real men' played rugby and implied if you didn't want to then you were effeminate.

They will get what they deserve!

Same with me in the 70's , if you even mentioned wanting to play football instead of rugby in PE you were usually scoffed at by the teacher and made to do 20 press ups in the mud. I think a lot of the apathy for the games is due to the ticket prices, a family of four for yesterdays game would have set you back nearly 500 quid
