woo hoo Footys back

Yep same argument I hear all the time. Doesn't change the fact that Soccer is boring and that any game where you kick the ball as an integral part of the game is called Football. If you want to use the ridiculous argument that Soccer is the only Football as the players use their feet then take a good look at a keeper and remove their use of their hands.

Stick to sniffing other blokes backsides and I have heard that a few of you chaps inject your digits into some chaps backsides and leave the thinking stuff to the people that can.

One player catching the ball with his hands doesn't equate to 13 players catching the ball with their hands and where there is only 2 people in the 13 a side game which actually have the capacity to kick a ball apparently and you have to pass it backwards to go forwards and you need a 68 metre wide marker to score, yeah, real difficult, real thinkers game.

At least with AFL there is real skill and real athleticism, real stamina, real thrills and no prostrate check ups on field.

Each to their own. It is simple for me, Soccer is boring to watch, and look at the behavior of the idiots at the games - the game is so boring they have to start fights and let off flares and burn down stands for excitement. That is my opinion.

Look at how boring the game is, the idiots that play the game come off the field to consume drugs to manufacture excitement.

The drug use and supply goes with the whole thuggery and pretend gangsters of the code.

I agree with you on that one Sandy, never did like that Bosnich bloke.

Had to reach back into your time capsule for that one eh dave?

I mean and even though his name doesn't end with an 'S' he is suitably ethnic.

One bloke? How many from just the Titans? Try again.

Same arguments over and over again from Soccer fans, head it all before. Attack AFL, League, Rugby, Cricket - whatever isn't Soccer. But never addressing the issue - Soccer is boring. The majority of League, AFL, Rugby Football fans never seem to question the skill or fitness of Soccer Footballers, the only thing they ever seem to criticise (apart from the boring display the game presents on TV) is the injury faking. I get it, Soccer is big in European countries and like Cricket in poorer countries where the game has to be a game that can be played on the streets with little kit, or at the higher levels with far less risk of injury. None of that changes the fact that on TV the game is more often than not as boring as championship paint watching. Great relatively safe game for young kids to play to get them away from the PlayStation, and if they want to continue on later that is their choice. Most will tell you though they'd rather play something else.

I am still wiping up the Earl Grey I spat out HK after reading that.

Your usually a meticulous train spotting factual based nit picker that doesn't allow anybody any leeway and don't mind pointing out what's actually not fact but yet, you have no problem with passing out this bit of anecdotal personal dross as fact.

How, what, where and when?

You are the would be author of non fiction and these 4 words should be your bulwark except for stuff you don't like or understand I guess.

As for paint drying, 2 words, test cricket.

Enjoy and feel free to feast on pearls.

Huh? It is like speaking Holden to a blue eyed Ford fan ie little point and a big waste of time.

If you don't like Test Cricket, well there is even less point as you'll never understand. So I give up, not worth the waste of time and effort.

Was worth your responding apparently.

Dumb comparison actually HK, your only saying the Ford Holden rhetoric because you have resorted to personal anecdotal thoughts and trying to pass them off as fact.

I have to accept you find soccer boring but you cant accept that I find test cricket boring?

What's to understand in test cricket, play for 7 days and get a draw? Wait for over after over for anything remotely exciting to happen? Yeah, wow, marvellous spectacle.

I still respect and admire your Holden know how and you are a national treasure, as for your finger on the cultural pulse of the country, maybe rethink some things.
