Non-football oval-shaped thread

[tforturton]

I don't watch the rugby, but it always gives me great pleasure when England lose. In theory, with the numbers and money available to them (and France, to a lesser extent) England should win the Five/Six Nations every year. The fact that they don't give me a great deal of pleasure. They have this cock-sure arrogance and belief that they are better than everyone else, and whereas self-confidence is a good thing in sport, when it comes to English rugby, it just makes me sick. And that idiot Eddie Jones is even worse. Rant over.

I'm with you and I love it when they lose.

TBH I want England to lose at everything, football, cricket, rugby, darts, athletics.

Re: Non-football oval-shaped thread

Och aye the noo!

I have very little interest in the 6 nations this year but yes, England should piss this every year and getting turned over is something that should be celebrated.

I'm pretty sure that every neutral, whether they be a rugby fan or not, will be raising a glass to the sweaty socks tonight.

I watched the England v Scotland game and it was good to watch. Scotland the better side and deservedly won. Eddie Jones when interviewed after the match took the blame and responsibility on himself. No moaning or complaints.

The amount of Welsh who get all hyper when England lose always amazes me. It wreaks of small mindedness, chip on the shoulder, stereotypical prejudice.

It makes us look bitter in my opinion.

Each to their own mind.

I agree.

I hate that "so long as we beat the English" song. Perhaps it's supposed to be fun, but I hate it.

This all day.

The small mindedness chip on the shoulder shit is embarrassing.

Kelly Jones and all that as long as we beat the English crap.

Get the chips off your shoulders. Its embarrassing.

Agree. Cringeworthy in the extreme, particularly when it is sung by a Leeds United fan.

I hate it too.

I'd much rather us win every game.

That's what was levelled at the Welsh players when England lost to Iceland.

I thought that was fair enough as it was probably the case.

That said, I pissed myself about that result too, so I’m a ****ing hypocrite on that one.

Re: Non-football oval-shaped thread

The problem with the Welsh media and a heck of a lot of Welsh rugby fans is they think everybody in Wales is interested in the nonsense they write and that everybody in Wales is obsessed with rugby

Its simply not true

For me, watching a game of rugby is good entertainment, at international level its exciting stuff on the whole

Club rugby I find boring

Football wise I regard England as our rivals , it doesn't matter that they are better than us and generally qualify for tournaments , they are our nearest rivals

I am amazed that until 2016 many Welsh people had no interest in the Welsh national team and would support England if they got to the world Cup or euros

These were often the same people who supported Liverpool or man United and wanted Wales to smash the English in the six nations
