Just wondering

I fail to see the attraction in Tennis or Cricket - I would rather have my fingernails pulled out with a pair of pliers .......... why then does a 90 minute footie match set the world on fire?

And why can't we have a World Cup every year!!?? Lets ban all non-stirring girlie games like Tennis!

Agreed?

soccer would be banned too then.. what with it being about the girliest of games of them all

The best thing about tennis is cheap strawberries when Wimbledon is on. Its ok watching the latter stages but does tend to drag.

Cricket is so boring its untrue - the only sport where one match can last 5 days and end in a draw.

Milo - Id like to see you play in a professional match and then turn around and call it girlie. Thats assuming you were actually able to speak after 90mins of intense physical exertion.

I have full respect for footballers as the fitness levels to run up and down a pitch at that pace for that length of time is just mad.

lol... most of the pros winge about broken fingernails

and yes.. i can easily do far more than 90 mins of far more intensive training than soccer.. and regularly do

Its a strange fact this - BUT -

76% of all Gay men play RUGBY!!

Actually, its not that weird really? Its the only place where blokes can grab another by the ***** and be called a REAL man!!!

Cricket, on the other hand - is played by overweight, middleaged white collar workers

Tennis, well, some of the women are cute in their mini skirts - I'll give yer that, but all they have to do is to run about a minute grassy area - pathetic!

I think you'll find it's the fans who set the world on fire after the game is over

Unless youve played an entire international football match then how can you make that statement?

Im sure Henrik Larsson and David Busst were pussies getting their legs broken eh?

Simon.

no idea.. i dont follow football at all. my original comment was said in jest (notice the winking smilie), but i will still maintain that pro footballs do have a reputation for being pussies and according to many will miss training/matches for blisters etc.

my point was - how is football any less of a girlie game than tennis?

ive never known a pro strongman or powerlifter quit out of an event because of a broken nail or blister tho

I would think any international sportsman would **** all over the jumped up fitness fanatics on SN

Now now, we don't want the weaker minded forum members to become hysterical again, do we!

Perhaps you'd volunteer to be "the enemy" then Pete. I'll give you 60 seconds head start, although by all accounts I doubt you'd be as challenging a target as the clay pigeons!

Jye

Oh dear, pslewis in Attention Deficit Syndrome shock horror............

milo

in what? their chosen sport, or a urinating competition?

Cricket, now there's a boring game.

Just so boring. A guy at work listens to all the tests on the Radio. By the third day people were coming and asking me ban radio's in the workshop.
