[Football] A Rugby World Cup final win or a Brighton victory?

[Raleigh Chopper]

Definitely a Brighton win, I said it right from the start but it didn't post properly.

Brighton win

 

[GT49er]

Right, it's finished now thank f**k - can we get back to football now?

I’ll get over and England loss far quicker than Brighton losing so Brighton win for me!

I can confirm I was over the England Rugby loss within about half an hour [emoji23]

It’s like St Patrick’s day in Brighton , full of people at 8am pretending to like Rugby but probably needing the rules explained to them

Wow, lucky you. Enjoy

It was horrible to watch there! The tension rose in the crowd as soon as there was the early injury and it never really got going for us after that did it. Was very pleased to get our result though, a sweetener that was very much needed.

Rugby? What Rugby? Did I miss something?

I knew we weren't going to win from the moment Sinckler went off

Bad fan that I am I 'left' before the end. (Wanted to beat the rush into the kitchen and get to the kettle first).

I was actually amazed at how much the Brighton result cheered me up though! (Only to get depressed again when Cleveland lost). Anyway, that's it now until the Six Nations, no more rugby talk, end of thread

I think there is only one rule to St Patrick’s day.

Yeah my experience is similar to that of [MENTION=4472]strings[/MENTION] by the sounds of it. I'm not really out to change your opinion of the sport of rugby as obviously that's up to you and it's perfectly reasonable to like some sports and not others.

One thing I would say is this: when it comes to sport, I think it is healthy to keep an open mind even if you assume you're not going to fit in. What if your lad is the next Jonny Wilkinson or Jason Leonard, but never gets the chance to play because his parents can't stand the sport? We've got friends here whose son dabbled in the ultra posh world of fencing at the age of 8 when a regional fencing club came to his school. Six years on and he has just broken into the GB squad and in all likelihood will be in the Olympic squad in 5 years time!

I wouldn't stop my child doing anything (within reason!) they wanted to. But I don't have kids.

I have six godsons though and only one of them is an Albion fan. One apologised for not liking football! I love the fact he doesn't like football. He thinks for himself and that's the way it should be. You can encourage and educate, but not dictate.

The fencing sounds brilliant. It's amazing what you can achieve with a bit of hard work.
