This is a good comparison. American sports are like having sex with your wife every night, with the light off (could be a good thing), in the same position for 15 years.

Football is like losing your virginity to Liv Tyler.

:yep:

You decide.

I wasn't able to read all your posts until someone all emailed them to me... :lol: Now I feel tempted to increase the list by the name of that someone... :lol:

Skybird's criterion for putting someone on his list: that someone

a.) has almost exclusively raised his anger and a feeling of unfairness,
b.) has almost never changed a reasonable or sensible word with him
c.) and most likely has been regarded as a source of troubles by others as well, so that by considerating pojnts a,b and c --->
d.) this person qualifies for the technical description of a noisemaker.

Differing opinions or stubborn defense of arguments is NOT what makes me putting people on the list. Bad behavior or primitive language is something different.

Skybird...you wont put me on ignore, because:

a) Deep down you think what I write makes sense
b) You are scared you'll miss something I'll say on the German world cup team
c) You know I'm right about dinosaurs

Take your pick

Funny that's how i feel about soccer. I'm no great fan of basketball either but at least they don't prance around like nancys with pretend injuries.

September: Prance around like nancys? Have you even ever watched football? These guys regularly break their bones. :roll: Wayne Rooney had a broken bone in hise foot. Totti broke his leg in April. Remember the US pplayer with the bloody face? :lol: Basketball is a no contact sport...for effs sake. :roll:

Stick to knitting, mate. It's safer.:stare:

This buddy/ignore list is not good. I can't put my self on the buddylist.

Markus

Ouch!

:huh:

So what your saying is that is ok to block, shove, hit, and tackle people in soccer?

:hmm:

Ok? That's PART of the game. It wouldn't be football (stop saying soccer!...and change the name of your football to handball) if you didn't have those things. Soc..errr....football is a physical game. The only things which aren't allowed are dangerous tackles, unfair play etc but if there are, they have sanctions for it (i.e. cards). Much like baseball where beaning isn't allowed. You bean someone once, he gets a free ride to 1st, bean the second player...you might get ejected. Same thing.

p.s. I must admit I really like baseball though...GO METS! :rock:

Feh, Extreme ironing rules all, period :up:

Discussion closed. :smug:

For once i nevr saw my name this means just one thing........


IM LACKING THE POWER OF GLORIOUS SPAM

This is almost as exciting as the cat bump thread.I know who is on my ignore list and it is not me, unless the wife has been online!

Beware, when this thread is done everyone who found out he is not on my ignore-list will suffer from inferiority complexes... :lol: It's like that old joke, two men coming into a bar,seeing all other men there smiling and grinning and being proud, only one small fella leabning at the bar, very unhappy, and looking sad, and close to tears. when the one newcomer asks his buddy why that guy is looking so sad, he gets the replky: "All these boys here are living in his same street. This night all the cars in his street have been stolen. Only his car was left."

What's the matter Booboo? You seem to be getting a little hot under the collar. Can't take a little disagreement like an adult?

Like i said i'm no fan of basketball any more than i am of soccer. Both sports are a bit on the sissy side. About the only "foreign" games i have any real respect for are rugby and hockey.

You call it what you want and we'll call it what we want. Just be glad we call it soccer instead of sissyball.

BTW just what is in that magic spray they give soccer players that instantly cures them when only minutes before they were writhing in agony?
