I love the fact that the rugby pisses you and other one eyed city fans off on here. We’re good at it and it’s here to stay. If you ain’t used to it now, you never will be. Shame.

I don’t. I go down the City. I like rugby as well, but not as much as football. Have I passed your test?

Re: WINDOWS SMASHED IN BALE’S BAR
What was the headline in Wales On Sunday? "Rugby Thugs Go On Drunken Rampage"? Nah, thought not.

The rugby is fine it's the double standards applied by the authorities , when it comes to fans behaviours.

You don't half take this message board seriously.
I can imagine you sat there and shouting over to mrs Treseder "Blodwyn I've got another of these egg haters wound up"
"Have you William well done "
"Pass me another Penderyn Blod "

I’m an Ely boy, None of this Blodwyn shite in my house. Just love the way the usual suspects whine on about the rugby every international day. The principality is big enough for both games. Get over it.

My thoughts on yesterday are they won and its all over for another year.

I like rugby, played it in Loughborough and when I lived in Nottingham, have a lot of respect for the players and lots of good mates who are ex-rugby players, players or fans., Many are also City fans.. but I cannot stand the way some of their 5 times a year, don’t know the rules, daffodil hat, ‘supporters’ look down on football fans as if we are scum of the earth. Especially when town is bedlam after the egg and the local police tell me they far prefer dealing with the football and that every cell in South Wales is full in ‘International Day’

Bet the local police had a different attitude when the soul crew were in action.

Another myth by Rugby haters, there are over 100 countries that play International Rugby Union! But like in Football only about 8 can win the World Cup! In Rugby, Wales have a chance of winning after getting to the semi finals twice since it started in 1987,whereas in Football we haven’t even qualified since 1958!
You are allowed to enjoy and support both sports as I and many others do!

I think that the problem has been that football in Wales has historically been seen as a second class sport followed by second class people, certainly by the establishment, rugby has been the game of choice for those in seats of power and influence in Wales. Alot of people who followed the City or football in general who were brought up in working class areas didn't really associate with the protagonists within the Welsh rugby world, for some, they were-are the enemy, i'm talking about the Police, Teachers, Solicitors,Bosses, media etc. If you were born and raised in a deprived area in Cardiff there was a chance that a young man may have had a few run ins with the authorities or those in positions of power. There game of choice almost always seemed to be rugby and culturally they were different, they didn't represent me or where i came from. It's a class thing in a small country with a very parochial outlook. I don't dislike rugby, i don't really have an interest in it and for a sport that is supposed to be number 1 in this country i can't say that i know one person who watches the blues. Things have certainly improved, Wales has become a little more advanced and progressive, the jobs and positions infested by those who had interests to protect are now being handed out more fairly. There is room for both sports in Wales, although for a long time it was football and what it represented that was marginalised.

They'll be a massive penalty call if someone is charged.

In both Junior and Comp rugby was pushed and pushed. In Comp we had a choice. Play rugby or do cross country running over feckin Caerphilly Mountain.
Pupils were judged by games teachers ( and others) purely on how good they were at egg.
In my Year our rugby team were shit, we were far too small, but I played because there was little choice.
At 15 I found a footy team in Cardiff who needed players and jumped in the train to play.
The school teachers were fuming. Even though I wasn’t even that good and had been playing in the backs which I hated as the scrum half and outside half hogged the ball all game and the rest just stood around getting wet and cold.
My reward, despite playing a major part in getting the cricket team to the county final was to be dropped from the team for the final- which we lost.
Wasn’t just in school either. In Caerphilly the rugby clubs got all the money, sponsorship and facilities, despite at least 5x as many of us playing football. We used to have to train in a corner of the rugby ground and were treated like 2nd class citizens by the coaches there.
Most of the rugby lads our age were fine though.
It was just the coaches, committees and all the other hangers on.
When I moved to England for a few years it was different, football was the main game, and as I had the choice I played both.. and in the back row for rugby which was great- constant involvement.
When I came back to Wales I played once and enjoyed it, despite the fact it was like a war ! But football was always going to win. It became City on Saturday and Sunday League next day
I agree with you Dan, it is starting to balance out a bit now.
Still not enough football in schools though.

Well articulated, i share many of your experiences, it wasn't the actual game or the lads who played it, but those who had an influence over it. I went to a catholic school, we didn't kick a football once, it's changed now. I don't really like these Rugby-Football debates, but i do believe that some who have a dislike for the sport are more frustrated at what it has represented to them personally in an historic context, years ago when we were really shit it was easier to brush football off in south wales, same goes for swansea. Things are a whole lot different now, relative success and premier league football for both clubs and the emergence of the National side cements the fact that Football is the number 1 sport in wales.

Nah, there was a lad called Prem who was an awesome batsman and went on to play for Cardiff. The rest of us were pretty similar.
I’d earnt my place though and went on to play for a very successful midweek adult side for the next 15-20 years and got an attic full of trophies.
