twobob 1,497 Posted July 15, 2014 Report Share Posted July 15, 2014 The diving in football is very much the seen, i hear lots of people giving opinion on some coming togethers and doubt whether they've actually played the game. You can take a speeding player off his feet with the ends of your fingers if you're so versed, same way you could walk around a rugby pitch and and snap every players ankle without needing two strikes, fact is rugby players dont get tackled around the ankle and padd-up where they do get tackled. Calling the ref Sir is also very much the seen, a game in Liegh/wigan very recently started with plenty of Sir's and ended with every player going at it and punters sheilding thier children rushing to exit the gaff. The unseen..well that's always a different barra.. http://www.theguardian.com/sport/2010/sep/13/bloodgate-harlequins-steph-brennan youve not watched much rugby then?played league saturdays and football sunday morning stopped playing football at 43 so ye i know feck all Quote Link to post Share on other sites
johnny boy68 11,726 Posted July 15, 2014 Report Share Posted July 15, 2014 First league match I went to was the Charity Shield at Swansea in 1990/1 Widnes v Wigan. I'd only ever seen it on tv before then and this game gave me a new found respect for the game, always new there was big hits in it but seeing them in the flesh and hearing them put it into perspective. Wigan had Shaun Edwards, Denis Betts, Joe Lydon, Steve Hampson and Frano Botica amongst others while Widnes had Jonathan Davies, John Deveraux, Paul Moriarty and Martin Offiah, great introduction to League that game was, Widnes won 20 odd points to 8 incidentley all the points were scored by ex-union players. I've been to watch a few games at the Millenium weekend since and really enjoy watching the game. It must be great up North with all those derbies. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

That said you're very correct i've not watched much rugby, our kid turned pro then sacked it shortly afterwards finding something much more lucrative and me ex-olympic medal winning training partner is half regular paid monies by a major northern rugby outfit...along with a recent premiership football club to ascertain who amongst the playing staff can resist him turning em upside down. He scoffs at the mention the big lads, ses thier easy, something about dynamics, god knows what he's on about, i'm like you..know f**k all.

oneredtrim 148 Posted July 16, 2014 Report Share Posted July 16, 2014 Them football fans are funny, the funniest are the ones thatt dig-up thier own players because of thier reluctance to enter into a sliding fifty/fifty.. choosing per new thought-schooling to stay on thier feet and anticipate where in close proximity the ball will bounce aftr being ill controlled by a sliding player trying to manipulate a ball with the underside of a football boot (but really trying to crown his opponent). The fact the fans player/s will be stood the right road to collect the ball (and immediately attack) having remained on his feet does not placate some fans who have paid gud monies to see a collision, bizarelly if you ask these types what 'making 75ft putts for par' means when not obviously talking golf...to a man they don't know, they dont know if you leave it with em.

Charlton and Giggs the stalwart of all traffordness were somewhat ahead of thier time, both had long mostly injury free careers, both employed the stand and wait/collect technique when opponents were attempting the crunch. Crunch ain't the game, beautiful they call it Quote Link to post Share on other sites

oneredtrim 148 Posted July 16, 2014 Report Share Posted July 16, 2014 out of medication?
