• Thank you very much | Diolch yn fawr

    All at JackArmy.net would like to thank everyone who has played a part on this site over the past 25 years whether that is through writing, contributing, moderating, posting or just visting and reading.

    Without any of you the work that has gone into the site would have been pointless and we will always be proud that we built, generated and managed a community that was such a big part of the Swansea City supporting life for so long.

    It has been a pleasure to bring to you the site for so long but the time is now right to turn the lights out for the last time but we do it both with a heavy heart and a sense of pride driven by the so many messages received since we announced the closure.

    The site will remain here for a period until we archive and mothball it for the last time later this summer but all aspects are in a read only format.

    Thank you though for all the memories

    Phil Sumbler

Actually that reminds me I need to pick up a cabbage from Tesco's in the morning, thanks Ranger.
 
When talking about football, the chip on the shoulder of some rugby players is glaringly obvious. Not sure if it's the knowledge that it's a far more popular sport, that footballers earn way more money, or the memory of not being good enough at football as a child and having to resort to rugby that does it.
 
I thought it was quite funny.

The prima donna injury-feigning in football is quite embarrassing and hard to defend in my view.

I agree.

It's also true that football snobs can't say anything nice about rugby either.

People eh.

True enough. I like rugby well enough personally, but it's a minor sport in comparison to football.

Theres a famous saying 'footballers spend 90 mins pretending that they are hurt whilst rugby players spend 80 mins pretending that they are not'

Having played both codes I tend to agree.

Not fully relevant to this thread but its interesting that in the (almost) six months the game has been played behind closed doors, the amount of play acting from players has reduced to be almost non existent.

You'd like to think it may be a reset moment but you just know it won't be...
