Things That Annoy You

If she picks up on it just tell her it's rounders. It's the same thing, the yanks just make a big deal about it. Incoming......

Incoming in 3-2-1 .... Oh well now, really! It is a large deal in these parts. How else can one be the fan of a team that hasn't won anything in over 20 years?  Next thing you'll be saying is that our football isn't football at all ...

I'll take this one YP.

To be called football you really should kick the ball more than a handful times during the game.

BTW my football team has not won anything since 1964.

I'm more a rugby union man. I take a passing interest in the local football teams, and amused at how 'English' teams in the upper divisions are 95% foreign players and coaching staff: That's the latest thing..we're having fewer managers and more 'head coaches'.. My local team (geographically) was promoted into div 1 last season (Really div 3, but it's complicated to explain!) and they might get promoted again into the Championship league this season if they continue their form. (Championship league used to be div 2)...

Ah, so you're a bum sniffer. Makes sense.

Not so.  The legs and feet should be rarely if ever used other than to get around the playing surface.

In the rare case that the feet are used to advance the ball from time to time, well, that's football.

Nothing beats the smell of liniment first thing in the morning. I once did a photo job at an end of season RU team dinner..Brought their sheilas and had a great time. Had a guest speaker (ex Welsh RU international-but formerly a member of the same team). A great bunch of guys, co-operated with the photos, thoroughly likable gentlemen (Even the sheilas). Can't be said for a football tournament I covered... beasts, primitive, neanderthal, barely evolved; spring to mind..

In football, feet are used to kick the ball. In the thing that you call football, they get dressed up in Kevlar and helmets and spend half the time counting in a most unorthodox manner.

I've heard the following comparison made of rugby union and rugby league; union is a savage game played by gentleman and league is a gentleman's game played by savages.

I'm an Aussie Rules Football man myself.

In what we call football, feet are also used to kick the ball.

Oh, is that the one with the too tight shorts? Makes sense I suppose...it's all falling into place. Cock pics, cock obsession...yep...

The two of you can scoff all you want, go right ahead. It rolls off the back like water as I am a Mets/Rangers/Giants fan and, therefore, no amount of scoffing will ever hit the mark. However, there are two feet involved in the sport, and a ball, a non-spherical one at that. The ball is kicked by a foot, hence the term 'football'. I do enjoy a good soccer game, I'm sure you'll both be pleased to know. 

[Mind Flayer Monk]

Its actually a football because the ball was one foot long at its longest point.

Soccer is a wuss' sport. If I wanted to attend an event with little to no scoring I'd go watch eddie_dean  bateman Falkie on a date.

Does anyone play hackey sack anymore?

I'd not only buy my ticket, but yours. (well okay, I'd lend you the money, I won't get too carried away).

Le-Crosse is a viscous game. That's just the wimmin. It makes wimmins field hockey look like rounders (AKA Baseball).

Voice of Experience: Don't even think it. She'll know. We always do.

You think you do, but you don't.

I'll probably take a lot of flak from my bros for telling you an actual authentic dude thing, but here goes anyway.  An important life skill that is passed down from father to son is the ability to nod sympathetically while thinking, "Who fuckin cares?" while your chick goes on and on about (for example) some other chick at work who looked at her the wrong way.  The subjects change but the technique remains the same.  Every dude in a successful relationship has mastered this art, and you chicks never have a clue.

My lady just likes the fact that I listen to her.She doesn`t care how much I care, or show concern. She doesn`t want me to try to "fix" her problem. She just wants me to put the remote down, close the book, look her in the eye, and LISTEN. No problem.

Oh ho ho, them's fightin' words! It's baseball as invented by Abner Doubleday.

Oh, I don't think I do. I know I do. This chick wasn't hatched last Thursday.

That's only because we let you think that.

Here's an example: “I don’t normally do this sort of thing.”  Uh-huh.  We know this isn’t the first time you’ve had a dick in your mouth on the first date.  We know this isn't going to be the first time you've had a dick in your ass after a long night boozing at the pub.  We know, “you’ve never done this before.”  Sure. Yep.  We've heard it all a million times before, but it's better just to pretend we buy it so that you'll shut up and put our dicks back in your mouth.  Men are much more practical and linear than chicks in our reasoning.

Erm; not strictly true. 'Normally' can mean 'never', and in some cases, it's true. For example dripping candle wax on her nipples, the first time (and subsequent) can make her wince if it's coloured wax..white doesn't burn as hot. All good fun though.

Am I the only one who finds 'Hotel California' By the Eagles is a bit like having a fly battering itself on the window? It never changes the monotone?. In the above case, Joe Walsh didn't rescue it.

Oh, goodie, the chicks are ganging up on me now.  That's okay.  Bring it, girlfriend.

You know I won't on a first date; I'm not that slut you think I was. Just let it go, what we had was beautiful and you'll always be special to me, but I can't keep lying to you or me, I just want you to have a lovely li.. (Cont pp94)

I know, yet Ventura Highway is damned good (well in my opinion).
