Any thought's ? They are brilliant. The difference with the football crowds is that there is regularly a threatening atmosphere and the two opposing sets of fans rarely seem to be able to get together without some nonsense breaking out. The rugby crowds mingle and have a good laugh. Yes, there's bawdiness and rowdiness but as a passer-by you can watch it without feeling threatened. I wouldn't use your phrase of 'louts' for any of the rugby crowds I've seen. If you want to get snobby about rugby crowds, calling them egg-chasers (which I assume you do in a derogatory way) then you do that. They won't give you any grief about doing so. If you were to do similar to a football crowd, you'd probably take a kicking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I follow both sports with equal passion. The upper-class tw4ts I've come across in rugby make up a much lower proportion than the snarling, agressive heidbangers in football. I've had a kicking after a football match and run from situations where I'm certain I'd have had others but never after a rugby match. Not narrow-minded or disrespectful at all; simply relating my experiences or my interpretation of them. I feel safe in a rugby crowd and would have no hesitation taking my kids to any match at all. For football, I have to think very carefully about taking the kids. Not sure that your final remark marks you down as broad-minded and respectful.

For football, I have to think very carefully about taking the kids. Not sure that your final remark marks you down as broad-minded and respectful. TBH can see both sides of the coin here. football is about 70 times as popular as rugby in this country, this means that there will be a high propartion of **** that will come out for the football rather than rugby. Also in edinburgh at least i think only 10 % of all the schools in edinburgh activly have a team. Again it is most of how do are the private schools. So again more chavs at football regardless of what team they support. Now to say the rugby does not attact trouble is daft. Anyone in the cowgate after the game will tell you otherwise. There is a small and largly noisey section of jocks that act like spoilt brats in the town and make arses of themselves. The problem is that they will get away with it because in the eyes of the staff it is guys having a laugh ! If they thought it was football fans they would get chucked straight out. Again most rugby fans are sound and you can have a laugh with them, but the highly visble snobs really spoil it for the rest of them with there attiude !

Can't agree with that I'm afraid. Origionally, and still in Edinburgh I would say that rugby is considered a more upper-class sport but elsewhere in Scotland I don't think it is. For example rugby is arguably the biggest sport in terms of sucess in Musselburgh, Prestonpans and Tranent, none of which are upper-middle class towns.

rossi_1983 Posted March 10, 2008 Share Posted March 10, 2008 Comparing Scottish rugby to club football is a bad comparison How much trouble do you see after a Scottish international match? Barring England, none! The rugby boys start off friendly enough with rival fans, but after some drinks there is always trouble up town Also try growing up in a rugby town and going out in the pubs. The rugby boys as a group turn into an aggressive bunch off arrogant muppets, who regularly start fights, usually with fellow teammates Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

loveofthegame Posted March 10, 2008 Share Posted March 10, 2008 OK confession time. My bird got her hands on 2 tickets for Saturday. I'd only been to 1 Scotland rugby match before, also in the 6nations against France 2 years ago- My bird won 2 tickets for it on some BBC Comp in the ?100 seats(ie i didnt pay). So anyway she got 2 tickets, and being an all round lover of sport, i thought it'd be a great experience to witness Scotland-England in the Calcutta Cup. I also had a mate coming up from England for the w/e who was going, and 2 school mates who are ruggers and also had tickets. So went to the Murrayfield hotel (in civvies and certainly no a kilt and rugger top!) got pished then went to the game. First thing: you can buy a pint in the ground and take it to your seat- absolutely magic. The game was quite an experience and the atmosphere cracking. Completely different to football, much more banterous. I still will always prefer the atmosphere at football WHEN its good(although it pains me to say that isnt v often anymore). Then witnessed Scotland beat England(doesnt matter what sport its at its still great to see). Then back to pub then up the toon to meet the boys. All in all a cracking day. Slag rugby all you want but it was a great atmosphere and bevvy session. I'd def do it again on rare occasion for big matches when we're not playing.

Most of them are homosexual as has been pointed out previously and they only play(ed) rugby at school because they were too fat/slow/clumsy to play football. As for them being "not intimidating" or "rowdy". NONSENSE. They are starting to get a much worse reputation for being intimidatory and lager-louts than football supporters. Because they were at a posh school in their youth they aren't allowed to be seen as aggressive? That is only by the standards of the middle-class snobs. **** 'em!

I do admit football has a tiny minority of idiots but Rugby fans do tend to get a lot more p***ed and rowdy at big games like the weekend.

Well I've never once felt threatened going to and from a rugby match (be it it Murrayfield, Hughenden, Firhill, Anniesland, Greenyards et al) in comparison to footy (and I'm said to say I include certain occasions at Tynie). I saw little trouble after last Saturday with both Scots and English indulging in some friendly banter and having a few beers together. Can you imagine that happening after a football match between the two countries? As for your homosexual allegation - so what? I couldn't care less if Scotland was fully gay - as long as they scored tries, kicked goals and won matches. Ditto with our footballers. As for fat and clumsy to be playing football, I take it you've forgetten David Johnston? Played for Hearts and later starred in Scotland's 1984 grandslam team. He is interviewed in Rob Robertson/Paul Kiddie's book "Tynecastle Tales". As for your posh school hang-up. Myself and many of my rugby loving pals were all state educated so the game is not exclusively reserved for those with a tie and a crest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magicTs Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 Scotland beating Engalnd at football is something to get excited about. Scotland beating England at Rugby is not. That's hitting the nail on the head. Don't get me wrong there is never a bad day to beat Engurland at anything but I was at the game on Saturday and though it was a good enough afternoon out the difference in atmosphere between Hampden in Murrayfield is incredible. You simply cannot compare the two and I would personally rather go to one Scotland football match than 100 Scotland rugby matches. It means far more to far more people throughout Scotland when the football team wins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really valid IMO. Lot's of football fans will go to international matches/cup finals that do not go to club matches. The league cup semi against Rangers recently is a perfect example of that. We managed to sell out our allocation for Hampden against Hibs and Gretna in 2006 but couldn't against Rangers. Also, lots of rugby fans have no afiliation to Edinburgh Rugby. They were only formed a few years ago and considering most rugby fans have more of an affiliation to amatuer club sides I think they are doing OK to get crowds of 3,000 (Livingston only got a crowd of 1,800 for their last home match and were formed in 1995).

crazy_jambo_2006 Posted March 12, 2008 Share Posted March 12, 2008 Being a follower of both sports (and a massive Scotland fan), I reckon the 6 Nations weekends are great banter (always good craic when the away fans are in town). Watching all the games, drinking, having banter. Never seen any trouble. Always go to Murrayfield. Normally quite expensive, but I won't grudge ?45 to watch us beat England. Magic! The atnosphere was amazing. The game wasn't great, but it was close, so was exciting. We won, so I don't care if it wasn't the best game. I'll also say the rugby players are hard b######s and put their bodies on the line for their club/country, (unlike some footballers, who cheat, dive and feign injury).
