Talking Footy

AFL could never have this in England. And never will.

Australia was settled by the British, not the other way.

Fuck you're a moron

Lol salty afl fans

remove that tin foil hat and learn some history

I know history .
You have issues with it .

I thought rl started in England ? It’s an indigenous game to England? The international part of rl growth includes Australia ?


History of Rugby League / Rugby league began in 1895, as the 'Northern Union', when clubs in the North of England broke away from the RFU. The clubs wanted to compensate their working-class players for time away from work for rugby tours and injuries.

No no no
We have been reliably told by a poster on here that RL started in Canada in 1861.
Lol he wouldn't be making that up would he .

it does help to be a simplified rip off a game of another code in union that has been popular in European culture for several hundreds of years!

and to still be so minnow and irrlevant on the world stage

Lol
He's so stupid he didnt even catch on that I posted one of his laughable bullshit claims .
Just keep ranting while we laugh
You know he's struggling when he pulls out the Gilligan rant .
& no one has claimed that RL is big on the international stage .
It's small .
But compared to fumbles internationally it's a giant .
& that eats you up

Aww the AFL sook getting all upset because his sport is a lemon that no other country wants to play.

We play basketball here. We weren't settled by the Americans were we. Hmm I think your the moron with your logic.

But not professional gridiron, baseball or ice hockey. Must all be lemons

Ice hockey has professional teams in the USA & Canada as well as a professional league in Russia.

Gridiron has the NFL is USA and the CFL in Canada.

Baseball has professional teams in both Canada and the USA.
Is also professional in Japan with a huge following.

You see, so all these sports have grown successfully in other countries.
But because AFL is so very silly. Points for missing, no crossbar, atrocious ball skills, bouncing an oval ball on the ground
Playing so called football on a cricket field.
This has caused AFL to not be a sport that any other country can take seriously at a professional level.

Yay for Canada, USAs little neighbor. They are so influenced by the states they may as well be another state. Still hasnt made its way to another continent

I think Canadian gridiron is different to American Gridiron.... I think even different playing field size and numbers on the ground. Similar indeed but different but not as different as say the two rugby codes.

Yes there are differences. But they are still both Gridiron football.
