Man Playing His 60th Consecutive Football Season

I got sent off for swearing once, which was a joke. Another time I was in goal and the guy with the ball took it round me and tripped him up and gave a penalty away and only got a yellow card. Referee's are dodgy.

As for the old bloke playing, I would like to see a video of him, I bet he is rubbish now, but good on him for keeping it up :)

Green cards? :confused:

Is that some form of poof sport? Or do they allow you to work in the US?

Green cards are like a warning. This is because Yellow cards require you to be sent off for at least 5 minutes to as long as the umpire deems as appropriate.

Greens can be issued to a single player or to all players on the pitch at the same time.

You can be issued a number of green cards for different offences in one game. So i could get separate greens for three or four different offences, they dont tot up like in football.

Red cards are very rarely issued, the umpires prefer to issue yellows and just keep you off indefinatly. Saves on paperwork, and bans.

What sport are you talking about?
 
Having had a read of the thread again it seems he's talking about Hockey.

Didn't realise we had girls in here.

No point trying to defend it chap.

Its just what non players (usually second rate sunday league footballers) always say. All they ever do is call it a girls sport and then inevitable follow it up with questioning your sexuality for playing a "girls sport"

I just leave them to it, no point rising to it. Let them pretend they are all big and hard for belittling a lesser known sport. :)

Thats cos they have big sticks.

Doesn't make it any less girly.

Netball could be the dirtiest sport in the world but it wouldn't change what it is.

We once played the girls at hockey in the fith form.
It was put on because we were having a bit of banter after a games lesson, none of the lads had ever played it before and we said it was a girls game and to be quite frank rubbish.

So they set it on, we put a team out and do you know what?
We tore them to pieces, 8-0.

None of us had so much as picked up a hockey stick before.
Not a comment on how dirty hockey is, just how rubbish girls are to be honest.
 
ardly girly when you get 2 teams of lads with sticks hitting each other is it?
Im not a hockey player, but i still dont see it as girly to be honest, theres some pain dished out big time in it. We used to have a laugh in PE playing, people refused to take part etc, getting thumped in the thighs by stray balls etc haha. God it was unreal.
Way more painful than footy ever was!

No, it's because it's a very high contact, physically involved sport. I've heard from many players (who also play rugby and football) who say it's the sport which they find the sorest/most demanding. A much harder ball, coming at you much faster and people hitting you with sticks - it's hardly girly; that is girl's hockey.

Of course, belittling something you know nothing about on the internet to look hard seems to be your "thing" so woe betide me for inferring otherwise.
 
I've only ever seen girls playing field hockey, and that does look pretty girly. Ice hockey, on the other hand, is a sport for real men, moreso than rugby imo. I played both, and can definitely say ice hockey makes rugby look like netball.

Well, it does lack the ability to bodycheck people into the sides/punch them in the face/general boshing. Ice hockey is harder than field hockey for sure, but that's not to say that field hockey is a girl's sport or that ice hockey is the hardest sport on the planet.

Yes, because I need to do that when talking to Maltina who has been posted on this forum wearing girls clothes before, don't I?

It is a girly sport. There is no arguing this fact. Having a go at me personally certainly won't change it.
