walshie 2,804 Posted October 25, 2015 Report Share Posted October 25, 2015 Got to love this laid back attitude out in the sticks. One of the guys my son works with plays for the 2nd XV of a local rugby club. A couple of Fridays ago, he asked my lad if he fancied a game of rugby that night. It wasn't a kickabout, it was a league match. Ben said he didn't know the rules well enough to play and the reply was "Don't pass it forward and you'll be O.K." He declined, but said he might have if he'd had more than 3 hours notice. Brilliant stuff. I wonder if they played with 14 players that night? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

There's a difference though between asking someone who plays amateur football fairly regularly (however lardy he is ) if he wants to play, to asking my son who's never even picked up a rugby bat.

Funny you should say I went through on goal last week and dinked it over the keeper and heard him shout "ya c**t I didnae think you'd be as fast as that ya fat c**t" Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Malt 379 Posted October 25, 2015 Report Share Posted October 25, 2015 Not unusual at all, happens regular! Quite hard to get the village and small town rugby and football teams together these days with the way peoples work commitments are now. Once roped my mate in for a game of youth team rugby, the guy had never played rugby or ever been round the whole culture of it in his life.. ...which is why he thought it might be a good idea to let it slip on the bus on the way home that it was my 21st birthday! He was quite shocked at the treatment I got, and when we stopped at a pub on the way home he caught the look on my face and scarpered off into the pub before I could get hold of him! Had a bloody great night in the end! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The town I moved to has a first and reserve team and I also play on the astro every week......the regulars teams are all young, fit lads who play football and GAA......I thought "f**k it, your a long time dead" and signed for the team. They was like "who's is this daft old c**t" when I went training but I can still ping a ball around and they took to my "robust" style of English forward play. The big downside however is the current style of tight football shirts !!!.......I look like a chicken stuffed inside a condom !!!.......I can't f***ing breath man !! Definitely not flattering !!
