Trejiuvanat Posted July 15, 2004 Share Posted July 15, 2004 You got it wrong Thrawn, it sucks because it can awake strong feelings of disappointment in people, that can also be extreme nation-wide joy. I think Jahled (who started the thread) will agree with me, that Football rules over any other teamsport. http://www.swrebellion.com/~jahled/Trej/banner.gif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grand_Admiral_Thrawn Posted July 16, 2004 Share Posted July 16, 2004 Ah, so it sucks if your team looses, but if they win, it's the best game in the world? That's why I don't get onto sports... well except hockey, but few Canadians... er Chiss don't like hockey. Edit: I just had a thought on Chiss hockey. It wouldn't work. Both teams would be waiting until the other touched the puck. But that wouldn't happen because that would be considered a pre-emptive attack on the other team. History is on the move, Captain. Those who cannot keep up with it will be left behind, to watch from a distance. And those who stand in our way will not watch at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jahled Posted July 16, 2004 Author Share Posted July 16, 2004 I thought this thread was about how much football (soccer) sucked! It has turned into a pro-football (soccer) thread! Emm...a famous football manager-I think Bill Shankley-once said of football; 'It's not a question of life or death; it's more important than that.' WOO* Costa Rica!!! *Fully clickable action packed Woo! http://www.jahled.co.uk/smallmonkeywars.gif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grand_Admiral_Thrawn Posted July 16, 2004 Share Posted July 16, 2004 Perhaps you could edit that so the claws stab him in the head> That would be quite satifying... History is on the move, Captain.

Trejiuvanat Posted July 26, 2004 Share Posted July 26, 2004 There it is. BRAZIL wins Copa América. After a last minute goal (93') Brazil ties with Argentina in the final and wins 5-3 in the penalties. Yet one more title for the Brazilians, that have won basically everything there is in the football world. Congrats! http://www.swrebellion.com/~jahled/Trej/banner.gif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trejiuvanat Posted August 18, 2004 Share Posted August 18, 2004 Happy me, COSTA RICA 4 - Portugal 2 Gotta love olympic football! Now we're up against Argentina, and most likely will get our butt kicked out of Greece. http://www.swrebellion.com/~jahled/Trej/banner.gif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord_La_forge Posted August 27, 2004 Share Posted August 27, 2004 Well Football sucks anyway... But today, for some reason, I've turned on my C64 and loaded a game, older than me... after playing a few rounds with my Bro', I realized, that Football is a wonderful thing: http://www.c64.com/detail.php?gameid=289&picid=1 I love Andrew Spencer!

Jahled Posted August 27, 2004 Author Share Posted August 27, 2004 Ha hahahahahaha! I actually remember owning a C64, ZX-Spectrum, and ZX-81! At the time we all thought the games were the cutting edge of technology and cool, and used to bunk of school to play Manic Miner, Jet Set Willy, and Elite on the BBC..

Imperator2 Posted November 9, 2004 Share Posted November 9, 2004 Just thought I'd reignite this topic by putting in my own two ha'pennies worth. I absolutely loath football. My father was the coach/manager of my local Boy Scout group and to be in the team I had to be 5 times better than the average player to even be considered. I was constantly embarassed and reduced to tears ( well I was only 8/10 ), and had to enjoy years of being abused on the pitch with taunts of 'cissy', 'pansy', 'big girls blouse' from my own father. Any love for the game was thrashed out of me by the time of my early teens. I am appalled at the grotesque amount of money at all levels of the game, of constantly reading in the Daily Mail ( I read this paper because it fuels my paranoia of the world ), of 20 something thugs and hooligans being paid obscene amounts of money to kick an inflated replica of a pigs bladder around a field and the sheer mindless, adolescent tribalism that the game carries with it ie my teams better than yours, no it is'nt, yes it is, we won you lost........ad nauseaum. Its like reliving World War I in city centres all over England EVERY Saturday night. There are decent law abiding football fans, but the game is inundated with eighteen year olds who drink a pint of lager and want to take the world and his wife on. Many a football fan has made the mistake of uttering that mindless thug litany 'You looking at me......Mate' to me, and have consequently lived to regret annoying my guests and I. It is a game ruined by money and celebrity interest / status, and in the case of English teams is no longer a mans game, but is one played by over indulged, spoilt, prissy little twats, who in many cases are'nt even English, and do not act like men, more like silly little boys & girls. Why do we have constant football exposure??? To turn us all into mindless controllable morons I have seen games advertised on TV of things like 'Clash of Titans...... Sheffield Utd vs Woolagong Spartans....tonight at seven', CHRIST, give us a break!!!!!!!!!!! American Football is more interesting and is definitely more tactical, but seeing as I am not a spectator ( I take part and compete or nothing ), it's a moot point for me. Now I've really gone and done it You have failed me for the last time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mad78 Posted November 9, 2004 Share Posted November 9, 2004 I find Football quite boring. I mean... 22 players runing from one side of a pitch to another and scoring 2 goals in 1 hours and a half tends to put me to sleep rapidly. Australian football is much better.I wass thinking of typing out a sketch of Billy Connelly for Imperator about Football violence. But i don't know if its proper. http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a359/Mad78/Palpycard.gifhttp://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a359/Mad78/Spamkinguserbarcopy.jpgCLICK HERE IT IS VERY IMPORTANT!!!Click here is you like Trance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imperator2 Posted November 9, 2004 Share Posted November 9, 2004 Will drop you a line Mad78....thanks Have just heard on the news that Emlyn Hughes has sadly left us. A great footballer and ambassador for his country, and a genuinely lovely man to boot. For all my hatred of football, I have to say he will be sorely missed both as a man and a great footballer. My condolences to his family. You have failed me for the last time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
