Question

Rugby V Soccer, which is the more macho game?

Answer 1

I'd say football is the more talented game but played by wimpish men.

Rugby is an out and out mans game imo.

Answer 2

soccer. all the way

Answer 3

Rugby - big muscular lads

Football - scrawny mummys boys kicking a ball

Answer 4

'Luke H'  (above) has it spot on.  I've played Rugby when a bloke has had his ankle broken, but  he still played until the end of the match.

Unlike soccer players, who seem to fall over in agony if the opposing player is within 2 feet of them, Rugby players stick to the rules (most of the time!), never argue with the ref, and are, like their fans. civilised and well behaved off the pitch.   I've sat with Scottish supporters at Twickenham during  a Calcutta Cup match when England have won - and the Scottish lads offered both congratulations and a swig of their 'flasks'!

Soccer supporters would probably have hit me with their  beer bottles!  But they are set poor examples by their beloved players who foul deliberately, argue with the referee, have childish histrionics when sent off or substituted - and the frequently seen crying and wailing  when soccer players  lose is  absolutely pitiful.

So the answer to your question is Rugby is both the more 'macho' and the more civilised of the two codes. ( NB. The same points made for Rugby Union go for Rugby League.)

Answer 5

both are, it's a shame that civilized man did away with beheading the loosing team in soccer.

Answer 6

Rugby.

Answer 7

Rugby,not so much kissing and cuddling.

Answer 8

This isn't really be a serious question, is it?

No it cant be, because only someone who was blind or who had never actually watched either games would ask it.

Answer 9

soccer = working class guys having a good time

rugby= middle class schoolboys enjoying a shower together after a game.

Answer 10

there both pretty macho but i would go with rugby is a more dangerous game and guys seem to like danger so yea

Answer 11

You're having a laugh right?! How many footy players would play six weeks after having 2 titanium plates in their face to hold it together like paul deacon did....ermmmmm NONE!

Answer 12

Rugby every time, real men with real mens names, not like the soft b@stards that play football nowadays.

I'm feeling all angry about these modern day footballers, I know why they have gone all soft - it's because of poncy names. That's what it is. Remember in the old days, when footy players kicked a fcuking ball made out of ten pound of clay stitched inside a steel-reinforced leather shell with laces made out of piano wire?

Well, in them days players could only survive the rigours of the game because they were called things  like Albert, Arthur, Bert, Harry, Bill, Eddie, Bob, Jack and Tommy. Fcuking tough names for tough men, them was. And what do we have now? Gareth, Jason, Wayne, Dean, Ryan, Jamie, Robbie, . Fcuking tarts' names, they are. Great big fcuking puffs.

No wonder the ball's like a fcuking balloon and shin pads are like slices of bread. In the old days you never saw a  Len Shackleton or a Billy Wright with a puffy little Sondico piece of paper down his little thin socks. Fcuking shinpads in them days was made out of library books, and socks was like sackcloth. Same with the jerseys. Fcuking shirts with holes in now so they can breathe. Yes, so that little Jody's hairless chest can breathe and he doesn't get a chill. f**k off. Stanley Matthews used to dribble round Europe's finest wearing a fcuking tent and shorts cobbled together from the jacket of his de-mob suit. Aye, he  fcuking did.

No wonder players fall over all the time whenever an opponent comes anywhere near them. And they never used to show their arses at one another either. Can you imagine what might have happened if Don Revie had flashed his ring at Nat Lofthouse during a City-Bolton Wanderers game? He'd have got one of them size-13 hobnail fcukers up his b@stard chuff.

Fcuking therapy for stress my arsse! Stan Collymore slaps his missus about and he takes three seasons off with stress counselling. What the f**k is that all about? In the old days it was expected for footballers to belt the old sow about a bit, specially after a bad defeat. And the women used to expect it, and so they should have. They was lucky to be married to footballers..Ha! Trevor Morley got a kitchen knife in his back off his wife and was out of action for three month. Soft t**t. Archie McShitt of Port Vale got run over with horse and cart one Friday night and he still turned out against Bradford the following day. And he scored two goals. That's cos his name wasn't "Trevor".Good old Archie. Broke his hip, both his legs, murdered his wife and buried her under the patio and still made the England  team for the Home Internationals. Did he have any "stress counselling"? Did he bollocks!

And drugs? There was none of that in the old days. Oh, no. In them days it was a quick shot of morphine before kick-off and you was lucky if you got that By half-time it had all but wore off so they pumped you full of laudanum. None of this cocaine sniffing and shooting up class A narcotics.

Goal celebrations? Don't talk to me about goal celebrations. Crawling on the floor and thrusting their hips at the crowd. Huh! I'd like to haveseen Cliff Bastin do that after a run down the left flank and crossing for Alex James to fire home a winner. Handshakes...and that was all you got. That and a w@nk in the showers afterwards. But it was a proper w@nk...all man stuff. None of these puffy wanks between blokes that you get  nowadays with players like Graeme Le Saux and Stephen Gerrard. Allegedly. In them days,there was nowt wrong with it cos it didn't mean nowt. They used to say there was a "g*y atmosphere" in the dressing room after the match. But it didn't mean owt mucky. Just a bit of harmless spanking the plank among healthy young sportsmen. Aye. I know. Me dad told me.

Sixty grand a fcuking  week! Ha! I wouldn't pay 'em tuppence. Two bob Tommy Lawton used to  get...a month! And Tom Finney still worked as a plumber four days a week when he was playing for England. It's true, you know. Fcuking is Players had to work them days just to make up their money. Not like today. Stan Pearson had to clean sewers and doubled up as Old Trafford shithouse cleaner. He had to go off during one game because some ****** had built a log cabin and blocked the U-bend. And that Eddie Hapgood was a

male model...though he never liked to talk about it. So I say we start calling kids real male names again.

If you're having a kid, don't even consider puffy names  and shite names like what people call their kids these days. Otherwise what we gonna get in twenty years' time? The England team full of players called Keanu Ronan,Ashley and fcuking Chesney. f**k that! Call your  kids Alf, Herbert, Len,Frank, Fred and Wilf. And let's get the puffs out of the game once and for all

I thank you.

Answer 13

rugby- the players have to have a beter stamina and have to be both physically and mentally strong.  soccer players have to run around for 90mins and tackle to get the ball in the game which isn't that hard compared with scrums and the tackling in rugby

Answer 14

Just take a look at rugby players, then look at footballers, skinny little whimps that dive on the slightest sign of contact. They go down quicker than some of the girls from my local nightclub. Rugby Everyday of the week. Rugby players are also polite off the pitch, Plus Rugby fans do not cause riots like the football idiots do.
