Then of course we remember it is cricket which is a silly game and change the channel to rugby or fitba'
Whoa. "Real" sport?Quote:

The game where one team can put together brilliant move after brilliant move, driving possession downfield to score 5 points, then 3 minutes later, watch the opposition score three after being penalised because the tighthead prop put his hand on the ground?
The game which still bans padding in its rules, but has 100% of its international players wearing padding?
Is that the one? I've played that once or twice.
:D
How could you not side with the Aussies? Jeez, they're your spirit brothers!Quote:

I believe Association Football has been permitted here from time to time. Some years back, one of the footmen's grandsons was competing in quite a large competition. Played just over the other side of London, in Wembley, as it happens. Mid May, I think it was. No idea what it was all about, but an awful lot of people seemed very happy that young Southall's team won.Quote:

Let us not argue over the relative merits of Rugby ,Association Football or Cricket, which mean little to our transatlantic cousins, and concentrate on the two greatest sports that encompass both sides of the Atlantic and the Pacific;namely, tennis and golf; which happen to be my own preferred sporting endeavours. I would suggest that the club installs television for the American PGA/Open and Ryder Cup tournaments and also the Wimbledon grass court championships.
Is golf really a sport? I never knew that . . .
How about the western sport of rodeo? THAT is a man's game.
Golf? might as well be discussing Cricket.
:lol: Yay golf! Let us go watch the grass grow.Quote:

Anything that dishes out a good bruising and a few broken bones works for me. I enjoy the UFC quite a bit, but boxing will work.
I think someone should be shooting paintballs at the golfers.
Where else?Quote:
