Sydney Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 Don't mind the rugby. Amazingly, though, whilst prefering football, I have the capability to enjoy more than one sport. I've even watched tennis, golf, rugby league, even the running 'n swimming 'n that at the Olympics. Sometimes even seen cars, motor bikes or horses or greyhounds going round a track. I feel terrible now though, as I have probably been outed as someone who is "NOT A TRUE FAN", for watching an egg-chasing spectacle played by harry hoofters, fat blokes with limited fine motor skills and posh rich kids. Having said that, I definitely didn't go to Murrayfield, and cared 100% more about the Hearts than the rugby match. Snooker, though, is a different matter. Snooker is pish. Played by folk with nae personality and nae life. Always has been and always will be. Anyone who takes their own cue to the snooker club is clearly autistic.

RussAsia Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 i was at the rugby instead of footaball. i feel supporting the national team is more important than a meaningless game against a piss poor hamilton team What is more meaningless than an annual 6 team friendly competition.. the whole thing is just geared up to bring in money for the British and now Italian Rugby associations.. Its not footballs fault that Rugby is so disliked throughout the world that there is no need for qualifiers to the World Cup.. basically if you can pull together a team and afford to get to the host country you are in..

You may be getting muddled up with Rugby League there. The Rugby Union world cup has a long and complicated qualification process with 100 entrants. The quarter finalists qualify automatically for the the next tournament which means that Scotland didn't suffer that indignity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southside1874 Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 ..how many people went to Murrayfield yesterday that more than likely would have went to Hamilton if the rugby hadn't been on? I bet there'll be a few. Just curious. Send Boomstick a pm mate. He has all the figures Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The People's Chimp Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 I didn't go to either as I was in Perth for the St Johnstone Aberdeen game, which was, sadly, cancelled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Treasurer Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 Everything in this country's geared towards football and we are still **** at it... All sports should be encouraged..especially in Scotland, as a nation our health is pathetically poor. We've produced one or two snooker world champions not to mention the occasional top class darts player Who says Scots don't participate in sport Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Findlay Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 Some of us would have loved to have been at new Douglas Park on Saturday. Especially, when it costs nowt to get through on the train. But, alas one had to start work at Haymarket station at 5.30pm and clean up the mess and deal with the drunkards that are those alleged well behaved rugby supporters.

topcat Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 You have to qualify in Rugby League as well. Right enough http://www.rlif.co.uk/groups 12 teams seem to be straight into the finals with 7 teams fighting it out for 2 more spaces. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
