er, ye-esss, thats why people buy them is it ?

For their walking and drying abilities ?

So he's from Hull and supports Hull City and Leeds Rhinos.

Why? How does that work then other than him being a glory fan?

In football terms this is like watching NL2 - what do you expect - this stuff is as far removed from the premier league as NL2 is from SL - this is division 3 soccer!!!!

Woah big assumption!

I have always been a rugby league fan and been going to matches since I was a toddler. My husband was born and used to live in Hull - he was going to the football since he was 4.

We got together in 2001 - he started coming to rugby league with me (and now supports Leeds Rhinos because he now lives here and they are the only team has he watched - watching teh Rhinos in 2001 wasn't being a glory fan

)

I, in return being a huge sports fan, started to go to watch football with him - Hull City, so I class myself as a Hull City fan - again not a glory supporter as when I started watching them they were languishing at Boothferry Park in the doldrums of the football league

Acceptable for you

It won't be and he'll hold it against you for ever.

I shall bear that in mind

I'm not suggesting that's why everyone buys them, just that there are exceptions to your generalisation.

More people watch Leeds United in the third tier of English football than watch the Leeds Rhinos at the pinnacle of English RL.

If you find football boring then don't watch it. Football is popular enough as it is, without morons who watch it while not liking it, or because they are too dim to think of other things to make small talk about.

I found myself watching Netball on Sky Sports recently.

Didn't have a clue what was happening, and soon became bored stupid trying to fathom it out.
Did I turn the channel over? Nope...... I sat back and enjoyed every minute of it, and no idea who won, and didn't care

I prefer beach volley ball myself, the talent those athletes have is amazing.

I think your username tells us everything we need to know.


Baaa-aaaa!

I do and I don't.

the sun is the most popular newspaper. Doesn't means its' readers aren't morons.

And making a point of not reading The Sun doesn't make morons smarter.

Didn't take long for this to turn nasty did it?

So you're damned if you do and you're damned if you don't then John.

Just look at the pictures if you're struggling.

But by that token watching and enjoying football doesn't turn one into a moron either?

Nor indeed does it make one a sheep

Do you know what I don't really get? The expression "follow like sheep." If you watch sheep in a field or a fellside, they're actually quite independent animals when left to their own devices. Cows, on the other hand, hang around in groups and will follow anything anywhere. So why not the expression "follow like cows" instead?

What if the people who watch it actually enjoy it? or is it a case of only McField can decide what is entertaining or not.

I never said it did.

I thought it was implied though

Do you think the suicidal Saints fans who think SL is doomed might enjoy this sport?

Where?

last nights game was rubbish but i've seen some shocking rhinos games this season too.
stick to watching a talent show where karaoke singers are used as fodder to feed the judges ego's.

or get back into the kitchen where all women belong!

In the post where you split Lord God Mourinho's quotes. I can't work out how to quote separate posts in a single reply yet!

i apologise if that wasn't your intention but its certainly how it read to me

I am not sure what my intention was and I can see why you would draw that inference so no need to apologise.

For a sport I have said I have no interest in I have devoted a lot of energy discussing it on this thread so I'll leave it be for now.
