Blunderbuss Posted April 1, 2010 Report Share Posted April 1, 2010 I'm absolutely threaders with otherwise mature blokes at work, bleating on and on about whether some bloke called Rooney who sprained his finger or some such, will be well enough to play in some tournament which is apparently happening soon Personally I can't wait for it to start, as then everywhere will be quiet so I can enjoy some peaceful shooting and motorcycling on empty roads I know most blokes think it's tantamount to admitting to being "good with colours", (which I'm not BTW!) but surely I can't be the only person on here who would rather stick cocktail sticks in my eyes than have to endure the godawful tedium known as football? <dons tin lid and runs for cover!!> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swift4me Posted April 1, 2010 Report Share Posted April 1, 2010 Good on you for saying it. Once at a dinner party in San Francisco, our host's son and his beautiful new girlfriend were eating with us. The topic of sports came up and went on too long for me, so I blurted out that I thought professional sports were "the largest collective waste of human energy, time and emotion imaginable. Between the talk before the game, the time during the game and the talk after the game multiplied by the obscene number of games each and every week of the year once you throw in the other sports." A couple minutes later I asked the girlfriend what she did for a living, and she told me that she was a cheerleader for the San Diego Chargers. But really, it dominates the airwaves and print media here in France. Between rugby and football.... and you guys have that game I can't figure at all... cricket. If you enjoy it, great, but alot of people need to realise that it is not something they are actually "doing". No different than watching daytime TV in my book. Go ahead... tell me I don't understand. Time better spent hunting, fishing, being WITH your family. Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gobfish Posted April 1, 2010 Report Share Posted April 1, 2010 I've never understood what so many vacuum headed morons find so interesting about a bunch of overpaid prima donnas kicking a ball about, but then what do I know?....... each to their own. I wouldn't dismiss anyone elses interests especially in the light of all those legally held guns that were destroyed not so long ago, the majority weren't interested in those either, just because you dont find something of interest don't dismiss it.... besides whilst they're all watching the football, especially during a cup final the roads and the fields are empty....... I'm a shooter who owns a GSXR100...... decisions decisions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Delbert Posted April 1, 2010 Report Share Posted April 1, 2010 cant stand it, they are dam good actors. There are however a number of good things about soccer 1) it keeps a bunch of thugs and knerbheads off the streets meaning fights can break out where there a number of police already waiting saving on travelling. 2)you can bait diehard city, town, arsonol ( stupid filter) etc fans when Man U stuffs their precious bunch of overpaid wallies. 3) it gives employment to hundreds of scallies selling tat to the soft minded because of a certain badge or colour. 4) it gives the courts something to do at the start of each week there must be more good reasons ?

Pepe Posted April 1, 2010 Report Share Posted April 1, 2010 (edited) Well. I love football. Grew up playing it and i still love it. I can sit and watch most matches, I even have a season ticket for my local team(my mum and my uncle go to most of the matches on my behalf ). It will not stop me going out shooting though.

Zapp Posted April 1, 2010 Report Share Posted April 1, 2010 I've always thought it odd that the usual reaction from people when you reveal that you dont get all excited at the thought of a load of men in shorts running around, getting sweaty, hugging and kissing each other, and that niether do you cry when they dont win is "are you gay?". It's a load of hoop-worshipping nonsense for closet dwellers ZB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
