Bloody Football

That's one of the most poorly conceived articles I've ever read.
 
Firstly, imagine every time within a day that football is mentioned by someone else. Secondly, replace it with something that you don't want to hear about every day

Football is already something I don't want to hear about every day (or ever).

Archaeology and Morris Dancing are much more interesting!

I'll go with that, I used to play fiddle for Oyster Morris many years ago when I lived in Kent, Morris dancing and beer, good stuff.
Archaeology and beer probably good as well.

The two are a good combination. We have a couple of Morris groups* here on the Isle of Wight. Next week one of them is holding a Morris festival with many visiting groups.

We are playing at their evening party. We play rockabilly music. The organiser of the event said "we want something different for the evening as by then we are fed up with bl--dy folk music"

* Traditionally, Morris dancers refer to their groups as 'sides' but that has always sounded silly to me... and it's too much like football!

Nice one, should be a good do.

I'm not averse to the word "side" though, at least a side of bacon has a use unlike a football side.
 
Archaeology and Morris Dancing over football???? Joke right??

Digging old things up and dancing around with bells on your ankles and hitting each other with sticks is much better than running around kicking a bag of wind!

Just a regular Brash weekend then :lol: ;)
 
Through the glen came the Morris Men,
like a troop of fairy dancers.
Two were good, very good,
but the rest were bloody w.....s. :D

Ha, but what about the nation of men who wear skirts and who's favorite dance is "The gay Gordons":p:);)

FFS:rolleyes: Them old clichés. How original with a homophobic twist as well.
 
Football.
A game where 22 men run round after a globe of inflated Cow, trying to get it between one set of 2 posts, seemingly with the express intention of then being able to hug and kiss each other in public.
Ok, thats fine, that sort of behaviour is now acceptable, so they can just go and find a Gay Bar somewhere and stop inflicting this pointless exercise on the rest of us.

Christ. Homophobic comments from a copper now. How diverse.
 
Not in the least, I am just pointing out that, in the past, I accept they had to find an outlet for their desires which was socially acceptable. Now, we live in enlightened times, and they no longer have to invent reasons to show their love for other men. They can do so quite openly and in fact there are clubs/Bars and other organisations for that. Thus they no longer have to subject the rest of us to 90 minutes of make believe that somehow they are involved in a game.
 
Yeh. Very good back track.
 
I think you need to make yourself aware. Your post was a p1ss take and suggested men (in this case footballers) who show affection (hugging and kissing) to each other are gay and should go to a gay bar to do this.

I assume you've had some sort of diversity/equal ops etc training being in the public sector as you are so you'll be aware the intent of what's said is in itself not relevant but the perception and or interpretation of such comments are (whether race, ethnicity, gender or sexual orientation based). Your comments fall below the standard I'd expect from someone in your position.

Surely that has more artistic content than booting it up and down a field for a couple of hours?

I don't disagree with you but the irony is they both (or used to) run around with a bag of wind ;)

Oh indeed :D
I did see the irony and it did amuse me, I can assure you :D
 
A sense of humour is indeed a wonderful thing. I agree far to many people take this football thing far to seriously ! :)

Definitely. When life gets tough, intense or you need a little bit of space. I just like to back off, get out with my camera and do my own thing. Other people like to go fishing or maybe even hit the bottle.
