		What the English founding fathers of soccer don't tell us is that they only invented the beautiful game because those pesky upper-class twits from the Rugby School had broken away from generic “football” in the late 1830s by picking up the pig-skin and running with it.
		The rules for the “Rugby Football Union” game were codified in 1845, so it took the dopey Poms another 18 years to get off their arse and codify the rules for “Association Football” (No wonder it has taken them so long to learn how to play cricket – Ed.).
		Now these “tribes” of traditional “old soccer” or wogball supporters are proving a wee bit difficult to pacify and win over to the cause of “new football”.
