    I know nothing about the details of this, but this seems to be something that happens in sports with salary caps, and while I'm not necessarily opposed to salary caps I think there are serious issues in the way they are implimented, which needs to be considered if other sports are to adopt them.

    The other thing I don't like is changing the winner of an event afterwards, I know rules are rules but a large part of sport is the emotion involved. If for example Man Utd were stripped of last seasons title, presumably, we would be champions, but if this were to happen now (as much as I would find it funny) it would be a hollow victory.
    The only gracious way to accept an insult is to ignore it; if you can't ignore it, top it; if you can't top it, laugh at it; if you can't laugh at it, it's probably deserved.

      I never liked American Football either, think it's ludicrously **** as well.
      I don't give a **** what you'd rather do, but your opinions on a subject you know absolutely ZERO about are ****ing laughable.

        How do you know I know nothing about it?

          I just hope Geelong haven't done the same thing in the AFL. I'll be ****ing gutted actually. We have dominated the comp for the past 3 seasons, won 2 Premierships, and have somehow managed to retain all our star players.

          There are lots of clubs questioning our salary cap space, but our president has said multiple times players have taken less money to stay and win than leave, making mega bucks, but not win a thing.

            You're from ****ing Mauritius FFS. You only stopped being savages about 20 years ago. You'd know **** all about rules, positions, history etc etc.

              There are rules?
              .
              Suppose you have a physicist and a sociologist standing at the side of a field, observing a set of events unfolding on the field. The physicist does [describes] it using the terminology of mass and velocity and frequency of radiation and the rest. And the sociologist does it by describing it as a rugby match.

                Now you don't know what you're talking about. There's never been an indigenous population in Mauritius.

                Nice try Harv.

                      It's no different when the drug cheats get caught at the Olympics mate. You get photographed on the 2nd rung thinking you got silver only to find out a yr or so later that their now giving you a gold cause the winner is a cheating mongrel ( or worse still you get 4th place and no photo on the dias at all )

                        That's debatable Neil ! I actually don't mind the game but I'm stuffed if I can work it out most of the time .

                            "Never be popular outside of Australia"......hmm, maybe thats why so many Irish lads are coming over to play it, or why American football coaches are looking at how good we are at kicking the ball, and our tackling skills.

                            Its not ****, you just have no idea about it.
                            I think that's coz they get paid to play. If they were paid to play GAA they'd be going nowhere.
                            Well, here we are in a room with two manky hookers and a racist dwarf. I think I'm heading home.

                              It all seems so random and violent I had assumed the game's name was ironic.

                                Is it really any surprise when you allow a load of convicts to invent their own game?
