henry d Posted October 29, 2006 Report Share Posted October 29, 2006 Take a look at that video, all tackles are LEGAL! Even straight arm ?? Hope you never try playing and end up paraplegic after one of those shoulder char.......oops I mean tackles. :blink: Cowards way of hurting someone mate. Would you kick someone while they were down? No as that is illegal,you are allowed to drive over the opponent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poacher Posted October 29, 2006 Report Share Posted October 29, 2006 Too start with...That first tackle was illegal as the player was in the air (very picky i know as the tackler was commited but who cares :yp: ) The only reason you see tackles like this in league is becuase the player is running straight at the tackler !! Wheres the skill in that Its more impressive when you see big tackles in union as it requires alot more skill in lining up the tackle... As for the shoulder charges (body checks) whatever you want to call them...these are just thuggish/reckless and look like something that wouldn't be out of place in a pub brawl.. You need a brain to play union, you need a can of stella to play league :blink: Union all the way :blink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ziplex Posted October 30, 2006 Report Share Posted October 30, 2006 I used to eat, sleep and drink football as a kid and up until a few years back was keen to keep abreast of things but nowadays they get paid so much and deliver so little in relation to their massive salaries that I just am not that interested anymore, let's be fair an average premiership player gets paid in a week what might take an average person 8,10,12 years to earn and on top of that some of them are a*&*holes and parade around like gods........not all I admit. The last few England team performances in important competitions have been awful and you can't only blame the manager/coach, OK Sven was a joke but even so..........the other thing that gets me is the ludicrous gate prices that are charged in order to line their already bursting pockets, again look at their salaries and compare that to what an average fan earns. If you support a team and enjoy it then good, the game will never die, but how many 'stars' stay at a team when a better offer of money/greatness is offered. Sorry to be negative but they do p**s me off, for the record though I used to be a huge fan of Leeds United............a long time ago! :blink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poacher Posted October 31, 2006 Report Share Posted October 31, 2006 real men real rules,,,you must be fat then In response to this as merv hughes once said to an english player, when asked; Why are you so fat ? He replied; because every time i slept with your mother she fed me a peanut For the records i've not got an ounce of spare fat on me,,,thinking of joining the forces next year so working on the old fitness ready for RCB..
