The Beautiful Farce

I am so tired of moaners saying my rugby is such a violent sport. I know of maybe one or two people who have been put in wheelchairs in the nearly ten years i have lived here. I will not discuss the particulars of last night because it is an on-going investigation. Suffice it to say a Wales supporter died before the England v Wales game. GAME.
The person had no idea all day it was to be his last day on earth. He even went to the game expecting a good game and hoping to win, no doubt. He died. Over a foolish game. I am sorry but i would come down this hard if people were dying at table tennis or the rugby as well. UK Soccer is getting a bad name all over the world for not being able to control their fans, andit is not just sectarianism. Murrayfield did not sell alcohol in the stadium when i came here. Now they do. In an arena with so much pent-up emotion why add firewater to the flames?
The other total disgrace is the revelation that some over-paid under talented athletes are taking illegal drugs and that the FIFA officials know it. These athletes should be named and shamed. They should also go into rehab.They should not be allowed to hide in our celebrity culture oriented, "boys will be boys" outlook. The real truth is criminals are criminals and random drug tests are needed as they are given in real jobs. What do you say? do you agree or don't you care, frankly?
OK the ranting is over. And as always, rugby wins.
Blessings.
