i don’t really like watching sports that much…
..and rugby has been pretty boring for quite a while..
..in years past the ‘boy’ and i gave it a go…did the father/son watching the rugby test together thing…
we both found our interests fast waning..(c.f..’boring’-rugby..)..
and ..through mutual agreement..we drifted away/couldn’t be bothered…
he played soccer for quite a few years..so we did that number…
now..i don’t really write/bang on about sport that much….
..but the compare and contrast from last weekend…had me sitting up straight…and puzzled that nobody else seems to have noticed/compared…
..c’os on sat-nite we had this absolute ripper/cracker of a rugby game…(that had me going ‘whoar!’…repeatedly….)
i just had the delayed broadcast from prime playing in the background…and it quickly became my foreground..
…heavy/brutal/fast rugby..at it’s very best…..and compelling to watch…..
then on on morn….we had the soccer/’football’/w.h.y. final…
and that was an exercise in tedium…and strikingly like that simpsons’ piss-take on soccer/f.b./w.h.y….from way way back….eh…?
yet the media seems to have been all over the ‘excitement’ of that soccer/f.b/w.h.y. world cup final…
…and missed that game of champagne rugby…..
i hope they can do it again tonight…..eh…?
..much more of this and i’ll have to alert the ‘boy’…to have another look…
..eh..?
