Yes. As long as what they are saying is wrong. On football forums, you often see people just seeing Rugby as one code. A lot of the Rugby Union stereotypes are also applied to League.

I was a huge football fan before I got into Rugby League, but I'm still a football fan.



Using the excuses of diving, too much money and games ending 0-0 to explain why you don't like football anymore is just poor.

I'll be honest, I don't really know why I lost interest in football, I played junior RL at 8 and played for Parkside until a few injuries ended my ability to play, maybe it's not playing football in the first instance that helped kill it off.

That’s a very facile and naive argument. No one is trying to stifle debate, I’m just trying to keep it on topic.



The topic was simply asking for people to come along and watch Warrington Town FC in their big game. It was specific to that club. It wasn’t asking for people to open up an in-depth, general debate on whether football is a game for mard-s.



Have you never seen threads on here that make a request and then receive zero replies? They just drift down onto page 2 and disappear because people have no interest in them.

If you have no interest in Warrington Town, then people should just click onto the next thread rather than getting their soapbox out and going off-topic about football.



As for using terms like 'Wendy/fanny/girly'; it strikes me that these are just synonyms pedalled by people who would much rather use less-PC terms.



Oh and for the record, I am no big football fan. This is just one of innumerable things that gets right on me threps.

Thousands of girls play the game every weekend. Lots of girls playing football in Warrington - Crosfields, Vulcan (sort of Warrington), Winwick, Fife, Appleton, Lymm.... Big in lots of schools too.



I think it was the fastest growing participation sport in England a couple of years back.

Girls do play it but it's not a girls game, and it certainly isn't the girls game as Moving on would imply it to be.

Spot on Monsieur Invisible great post. It's not a crime to like RL and football

i find it hard to watch match of the day or champions league nowadays and certainley dont watch live games,partly due to watching players drop to the floor like theyve been shot,another reason is players wanting more money because a team mate is on more..pathetic they are,and the standard is down right awful to say the least...for example players like carrick sturridge smalling wellbeck getting caps for england,wouldnt pick em for warrington town

Nobody makes you watch it. I don't like soccer these days for my own reasons, so I haven't watched a game in years. Others love it and that is their prerogative, I will take nothing away from them for that!

Unbelievable!

may i ask why...
