Every time someone holds their shin or something appealing to the ref, they should be forced to play a game of Rugby football at the equivalent level.
I think two men should walk on to the pitch. One carrying one of those curtain enclosure things and the other a rifle.
Before anybody starts crying I’m not being serious.......or am I

So they can learn to use fake blood capsules and stick a finger up an opponent's arse?
I have to admit to inadvertently getting my son into supporting Sheffield Wednesday. I have told him many times they are not a good team to choose to support, but because that's who I support he's determined to stick by me. The art of football is a wonderful thing. Just as any team sport has tactics and strategies and players have individual skills to both add to and hinder a team being successful.
I have played, coached, refereed and supported football all my life, but I can manage to avoid conversation about it all the time. That's a conversation thing not a football thing. There's a lot of other things in the world to talk about.
From experience 90% of football talk is absolute bollocks and you are better off out of it.
I still love taking my son to a nil nil draw though, because it's just quality time together.
Any player holding his shin appealing to the referee should be forced to referee a game in the lowest division of the Bradford district Sunday league having sat through 10 weeks of course to become 'qualified' for the privilege... 😆
I used to watch a bit of football but in the last 20 years its become unwatchable with the diving and feigning injury. The womens world cup was highly watchable simply because they were not diving all over the place. Get rid of the diving and it could become watchable again.
Binners - rugby too complicated for you? simple things and all that?

complicated? It’s just blokes indulging their barely suppressed homo-erotic fantasies by rolling around grappling with each other. I blame the public school system
It’s not complicated. It just makes no sense.
Rugby under increasing pressure to come up with set of rules

As soon as you accept that a lot of football is pantomime, you learn to live with a lot of that kind of stuff.
I’ve noticed a bit more diving, feigning and pantomime creep into rugby over the last few years, as players realise that they can get an opposition player yellow carded and that a ten minute 1 man advantage often leads to a 5-7 point advantage. I find it quite funny that people still po-facedly go on about the blood capsule. 😂
No fan of any professional sport can point and sneer at others in the knowledge that no cheating goes on in their own preferred code.
I think what we’re seeing here is binners not having had a chance to vent his spleen about rugby in quite a while, and all because the other boys in school were tougher than him. It’d be almost refreshing if we hadn’t read it all countless times, but originality wasn’t ever binners’ strongest suit.
Simulation in rugby rarely gets you anything but a telling off from the ref. Replays make sure of that
You weren’t there, maaaaan
*bursts into tears again*

Doesn’t seem to stop some players trying.
Prawn sandwiches all round!
I find the most effective answer that will stop them is to say Accrington Stanley. Seems to satisfy their curiosity, but suggest we have no common ground on the subject (or something else, I don’t know).
That wouldn't be very effective for me, living as I do in Accrington.
Oh look, crikey is here to tell us what ****s we all are again. A welcome return, as ever.
A public service, I like to think... 😉

Honestly, I already knew so it seems a bit redundant.
