Which footy .
Depending on where you are in this country FOOTY can mean one of four codes .

True. Football yes but never footy. I generally here rugby union called rugby and rl called league in qld. Aussie rules in qld I s AFL but it n AFL states it is always footy. Also in AFL states they will call league rugby as well but that was changing.

ive lived in 4 states and ive never heard anyone call soccer footy ever.

Do you think that may be because of the fumbling zealot circles you move in Wookie? I have heard soccer called footy many many times but I suspect I mix with a different demographic than you do.

an NRLOL fan using the term reality! the irony in that

the NRLOL fan refer to it as footy or league!

Oh my

yes should have clareified. In south east qld I hear rl referred to as league and ru to union. I just assumed as there were two dominant footy codes (well used to be just those two mainly) that that is how people differentiated the two. In AFL states there has been one main code so saying you were going to the footy or football meant one thing. I imagine if you said you were going to the footy in qld 30 years ago people would ask league or union ? Nowadays, if you say you are going to the footy (as I still have a habit of doing) people always ask which one . I guess as well this could mean one of three in winter. That is why I think in non AFL states it is moving more toward identification of the code.... AFL, league, union ... and she cover still gets bandied about although a big push toward football for that.

No one I know has ever referred to union as footy in my time on this planet.

Footy has always meant RL and Union as rugby Union or rugby as they started calling it without the union since the super league war, never footy

Which is why Australia is one of very few countries that doesn't have a national sport.

True .... although AFL is at best place to claim that title. ....,,.,,,,

You fucking wish .
There's not even a national team to follow .
No tests against traditional old Aust foes England & NZ .

The only sport that could claim the title would be CRICKET
