I'm happy with a rugby league game. At least it's civilised.
Very true.

A mate of ours used to play rugby (though rugby union, despite being a Yorkie) in his younger day. He's as far removed from a football fan as you could ever get: quiet, polite and intelligent.

That's right mate. All hard working lads, and they have respect for each other too.
And they get about 1/100th of the wages a footballer gets. Not right is it?

Not fair at all.
The only reason they get so much money for prancing around on a field and becoming adept at falling down pretending to be injured is that there are so many similarly idiotic supporters who are happy to waste their money on attending these futile performances.

At one time footballers were decent men, until money became the total focus of their game! Please don't change rugby into a game that is more interested in money than pride.
