O.k. got another one for you all,
Mary-ann or Ginger?

Yep, a bit like watching ice hockey. Glad I don't have a TV.

Which I didn't notice 'til very late!

 

[Airframes]

I agree, football is a waste of good grass, but cricket, even though I don't watch any field sport boring, waste of rations, over-hyped rubbish games, is bl**dy dangerous !

 

[Lucky13]

Because we're......

Would that be 22 grown men trying to kick a pigs bladder between two sticks?

Hockey. Now there's a man's game. Like rugby but the players each get a 3 foot stick and with a ball so hard it requires the goalkeeper to wear armour.

Re Harald: a quick victory would have had him granted the crown and, moving south, he would have acquired the English Fyrd by right. Considering the fight his army put up lightly armed and split in two they would have won if combined and fully armed. Wilhelm (see Canterbury Embroidery for spelling) was busy wrecking Harold Godwinson's holdings in Kent at the time to try to bring him to battle. His Breton and Flemish allies were on the point of leaving when Harold actually turned up so Harald's inevitable delayed arrival would have seen Wilhelm short handed. The main point is that England would have remained quasi Scandinavian not become quasi French. Then the English could be spared surnames and the verb at the end of a sentence would remain.

On the Canadian theme; Canada must be civilized as not only can you buy proper Cornish Pasties but they do good haggis (Haggises, Haggi?) and smuggle them to the benighted Americans for Burns Nights!

[Readie]

ypu believe what you want to believe it in comparison it is a slow boring game with lots of gay diving

Ah, Canadian wit...

 

[Lucky13]

Here I thought that cricket was UK's national game.....with a point system only a genius can understand, how wrong one can be,.
Somehow, these green keepers have also found a way to get off the green (the red card), when they feel they need to work on their manicure and facial construction.

And just before the Superbowl a few months back, I read an artical where some news guys down New Zealand way were saying that American Football players were pansies and wouldn't last 5 minutes against thier "footballers"...

Honestly, the typical lineman weighs in at over 250 pounds (113 kilos+) or more and are very capable of doing damage to an opponent. It would be interesting to see our American football players square off against them.

I agree with the KIWIs plus the game of Rugby doesn't stop every 4 secs so they can figure out whats next

 

[GrauGeist]

lmao...they'd be crushed like insects by an American defensive line...it would a massacre

 

[Lucky13]

Of course, the NFL players wouldn't be allowed their protection!

 

[Glider]

Actually I don't think they would. I did play Rugby in the Navy against the FAA Field Gun team and there is no doubt that for the first 15 -20 mins they had a clear advantage, but they tired and after that we won the game. I suspect a similar thing would happen if Rugby players were up against NFL players.

The 1st play what are they gonna do when the 5 secs are up and the play is continuing and they have no instructions

No Helmet! No protection! Mind you, it'll be bloody tough, NFL players against rugby players, then NFL with their protection and the rugby with the same.
As I see it, the rugby players can take a good beating, beacuse their used to it, can the NFL survive without their gear?

Also, Minnesota Vikings are my fav NFL team! Goooo Viiiiikiings!
Btw, they have never won the Super Bowl, or am I wrong?

I'd vote for the international standard rugby union players. They are built like brick **** houses and its easy to forget just how huge they are...
I'm sure the NFL is also a tough league as well.
The real hard men seem to be the ice hockey players...
