And utterly filthy? No. The game is cleaner than ever before- 8 cameras at every game, the slightest misdemeanour gets cited. Even mistimed tackles (genuine errors) get yellow cards these days.
Hartley served a ban of 16 weeks for calling Wayne Barnes a cunt. If soccer shows some balls and did the same they'd have to cancel every game at the weekend. You call a ref a cunt or swear in anger in rugby you are off the field. That's how it should be.
Institutionalised cheating has been eradicated. It happens every moment of the match in soccer.
Soccer is pathetic in terms of its culture. Fans can't get on, can't hold their drink, can't sit together. Players abuse officals as part of their day job. They act like utter wimps on the pitch and their fitness and work ethic is piss poor.

You're a good lad normally James but you're just a troll when it comes to football and rugby.
Eye-gouging, for fucks sake.
Just re-read my post - it's entirely accurate.

For what it's worth I generally don't wear it, even though I always give money and buy one. I do if it's some sort of special occasion on or very close to the 11th, but not otherwise. I don't think there's any disrespect in not wearing one, or not contributing, if you don't want to.

It wasn't nearly so universally accepted while there were people around who'd lost all their friends and a lot of their families to Douglas Haig's egomania.
Even when I was a kid (I'm 51) there was a tangible undercurrent of bitterness attached to remembrance "celebrations", and I speak as someone from a military family.
Yes the Poppy Appeal raises money, but don't forget that it also has a symbolism which is strongly akin to victory celebrations to many outside these shores.
FIFA is an international organisation, I can empathise with their perception of the poppy as a political symbol.
Three lions. Now, I may not have travelled the length and breadth of the country but I'm pretty sure that lions aren't indigenous to England. We've never had some sort of special conservation role to play with regards to lions.
Surely our exposure to and adoption of the lion is colonial, and therefore political.
Remember, it's easier to criticise than create!
Football, as usual, is filled with its own self importance.
But at least soccer fans don't have to watch a rugby match
