Olympic Conclusions

[richfzs]

Sounds like something you hear from a woman. You played football?

Thanks, I like to think I'm in touch with my feminine side  :rollin

No, I haven't played football. And nor would I, its far too dangerous. Not the game itself, but the w@nkers who play and think, because their role models get away with it, that they can get away with abusing the ref, and doing hatchet jobs on opposing players because they think they'll get away with it. Just one example, son of a friend of mine was 2 weeks from joining the army, and took part in a charity tournament - his legs were chopped out in a hideous foul, wrecked his achilles tendon, and delayed his army career by 6 months. The opposing player? Got off scot free, not even a yellow card - and he was playing on the fire service team, somebody supposedly a decent member of the community, but on the football field, he's a thug. Any why is he a thug? Because his role models are, they get way with it, no respect for the referee.

I'd be willing to boot anyone anyone in the shin with their shinnies on so we can gauge their reaction

Nobody is saying it doesn't hurt, when you do get a boot in the shin (well I'm not, anyway), its the way they whinge about it, like no other sport does. But my original point, was that they play act when they haven't been touched. Cheating, in effect - and we're back to abysmal role models.
