It was actually a quote, from The. :blushing:

So, your impression of me having a vast intellect (true story) was based on me quoting what was to become the board emo.

You gotta be kidding :lol:

What was the exact text in your sig? I'd like to see it in its original context.

I can't remember the exact text.

He said something about a random post, then explained it in a rather brilliant way.

Not a random post a post that was made in a random way. Somthing like that, but as I recall it was taller and brillianter.

The may remember.

I'll try and remember to ask him when he comes back from work.

Alternatively, we could keep spamming this thread and get it moved to the lounge - what with these new and improved stringent rules regarding sport threads, I'd say it's a veritable certainty to get moved there now.

Indeed.

My favourite bit was when they said we should have spam threeads in Sportsworld.

Spamtastic.

Go, team Arsenal! :)

Did I say that right?

You forgot the 'team'.

Go team Arsenal!

I can do that.

Are they less-than-stellar offensively, or is this chant merely owed to it's being the more frequent (and necessary) imperative?

In that we might remedy any offensive lack, mayhaps we could interest you in a share of T.O.?

Why be a dick about it? Dude I wasn't talking about the tackler. I was talking the teammates of the tackler. They don't seem to go after the ball very hard. How was I contradicted when I didn't claim to know all the rules?:blink: It seems "It seems" was a clue

The tackler must not restrain the tackled player after the tackle, therefore he is not allowed to stop the tackled player's team mates getting the ball - the only way he can do this is turn the tackled guy during the tackle to be facing his own, onrushing, team-mates such that they can procure the ball.

Makes sense. However, it looks like the tackler is restraining the tackled player until the ball is picked up.

This is different to 13-a-side rugby but allows second phase ball and makes the overall game more continuous.

There is a tremendous amount of finesse involved in rugby but this won't be visible if you've only watched a few games.

The reason you got to see Sevens is because the tour was in LA for a couple of days in February. I don't watch a lot of it, it's good but reminds me of a watching a film after you've read the book :dabs:

Yeah I agree it is late but I watch basketball games the next day after they've been played (as long as I don't know the outcome).

I've watched tons of rugby union matches and from my standpoint, it's mostly anarchy. I get the gist and strategy of the game with the lateral, faking a pass to throw an opponent off, breaking through a seam, and touching goal under the posts but it is mostly anarchy to me in comparison to other sports I watch but I find it very entertaining....more than soccer and baseball, for sure. I'd love to play it one day 'cause I like all sports.

Just starting you from the begining.

A good team is based round a solid dee fence. Then once that's in place we can go for.

Owe fence, owe fence, owe fence.

Got it.

Anyway, I think T.O. would be worth 3 goals a game.

You'd really be doing us a favor. :huh:
