its easy to be gracious after a defeat.


Would have thought its the other way round in most post match interviews in majority of  sports.

I played rugby, I was a hooker. I have been to countless matches watching my team Harlequins, England and Ireland for more times than I can possibly remember and never once have I or my mates ever had any grief from any supporters of opposing fans, quite the opposite in fact. Win, lose or draw it was always a very enjoyable experience.

Too tight Sippy!

I remember once being in a pub in Richmond early Saturday evening, absoultely rammed. Everyone was was being jostled one way and another. One of my friends was literally being leaned on by someone and said something like " I've had enough of this " and turned round to confront the leaner. He was a little short himself so when he turned round he leterally eyeballed the stomach and chest oh a 6ft 8" London Irish lock.

Everybody started laughing and not a single punch was thrown. You can imagine what it would be like in a football crowd.

On another occasion must have been 2007 at Twickenham the last match before the World Cup England V France possibly a chance for England to beat the consecutive wins record. Anyway after several down by the river we walked up to game. I saw a hawker seeling flags so I bought a French one. I was travelling with a party of neanderthal's so I thought in my booze induced wisdom I'd wind them up waving a French flag.

Let me tell you, there was nearly a fight ( well more like a scuffle ) but that was over who would be the one to wave the flag against our country's second greatest foe ( Germans are the first, live in Kent we still remember the war and of course you can't count the Scots as foes as they have been truly conquered and don't even want independence from us eh Grant! ).

Rarely do you have trouble in a rugby crowd ( I don't count the Northern monstrosity as Rugby! ).

Mr Holding - does the fact that Ireland beat England when you were in Navan, explain why you were treated so well?

If you were roaring on England and they won, i don't think you would have been so courteously treated.

I was in The Millenial when we won with the last gasp try.  I did not hold back. No hint of trouble not even in the pub afterwards. Incidentally someone I know got filled in at the same pub another time because he was being a loud mouth yob and got what he deserved but he was Welsh and it was nothing to do with rugby or country.

Trying to intimidate and wind people up is one thing, being joyous when you team wins is something else. In a civilised society you don't take a pasting for being happy, well not when you are watching rugby with civilised people!

I dare say the same with the Jocks and French. Going to Paris next week so I will let you know. I am sure we will win but I was sure we would win last week zut alors!

To be fair Paris is different from the rest of France that is the only propblem. Take the Parisiens out of France and it is a great country!
