They make us play with a round ball etc etc etc then expect us not to lay a tackle?
Looks like they will take their ball and go home to Mum?:confused:

What do you expect? :confused:
Both nations play a game that they made up one day, and no-one else in the world plays it or enjoys it.
Both nations feel sad that no-one else wants to play their game, so they get together and make up a new game with new rules. The rules have bits borrowed from each game, and no longer resembles either game.
No-one can remember the rules, so they just pretend it was the game they originally made up and everyone gets confused.
Funnily enough, we don't have the same sort of problems with Rugby League or Rugby Union. They're what we call "International Games", where more than one country in the world plays it, and can therefore enjoy the true spectacle of international competition. :p
What happens in Rugby?????:p :p :p

I acknowledge ( +admire, +love) the truly international game of 'Football'.
But howabout letting me stand on my soapbox on the Rugby VS AFL thing for a while? :p
So'k Brendan, only kiddies play with round balls until they get the hang of things, then they can move onto exciting games.:D :D :D :p :p :p
I find soccer football not fast-paced enough (like watching paint dry) :rolleyes: and rugby football reminds me of an all-in match gotten out of hand :eek: , but AFL football makes sense to me and I enjoy it very much. :D I only wish it came on the tube sometime other than midnight.
But apparently the Irish do not share my enthusiasm. :p
Considering Italy won the world cup with the ultimate in negative defensive play.
I reckon Soccer should just say the goalie can't use his hands anymore. That would fix that game up, you'd see 7 or 8 goals per side and none of this flukey dive for a penalty in the last minute BS
Dunno what the complaints are about Pearse's tackle it looked fair to me unfortunately the other player was hurt but that wasn't deliberate on Pearses part.
I reckon the bit about Fevola getting chucked out of the country for getting in a fight in a bar was pretty amazing. Didn't the Irish invent the bar room brawl?
