I think Briers is a great player and has great talent ,not only as a player but as a ref as well!! lol!

Muscle is about a third more dense that fat, though. So the same VOLUME of muscle would be about 33% heavier than the equivalent volume of fat.

So while you sit idle with an injury your muscles waste but you put on more fat due to lack of exercise. Net result a loss of weight.

I don't disagree, but the original comment was that muscle was HEAVIER than fat, not that it was of a higher density, which is simply wrong. Well, actually I do disagree, as there is no way muscle is 1/3 denser than fat, in fact, it's about 1/8 denser, a lot of people confuse the stats for bone and muscle, and even then, there isn't just one type of muscle, and each has a different density, even then, each different type retains a different amount of fluid, so it's very hard to compare.

Anyway, at 50/1 I reckon Long might be a little bit lighter anyway!

Yada yada yada...

Simply - would Long's fat thigh weigh more than Long's muscular thigh or would they both weigh less than his shaun long locks?

ah, the reply of a Googlemesiter

anyway, it's irrelevant, we'll lose tomorrow and it will be all to play for against L**ds

I agree, I just hope the lads can put in a good performance, So its likely were still in it for the Final hooter and, Heck, you never know might just nick it..
