Great Britain

[red indian]

Good god will this pleasure never end? now we beat New Zealand for the first time in 9 years, the game being Rugby League, which for American information is similar to Rugby Union only even more distastefull and frighteningly masculine for the delecate flower of American youth to consider asking momy if they can play.

Congrats Red,

I am glad the England is doing well at this sport this year.

I rarely follow British sports. How well does England fare in the world of sports usually???

It'll only end until those frigging colonials insist on us exporting the ashes urn.

it may as well come down here, we deserve the bloody thing after whatever passes for a test match these days. I tell ya, when I were a lad...

I have to aggree Biggles.....

......its a bloody disgace! you won it, you should keep the "trophy" such as it is. The T.C.C.B. are way out of line on this, its time the rule was changed, I dont know why one of your team did not have the gumption to just make off with it after the ceremony.

As for our "team" what can i say, a 5 game test series and we are beat in just 11 days of play, fucking inexcusable.

If You Imported Some...

USA Athletes you just might win. We're bigger, stronger, quicker and as a rule more intelligent.
Just a thought...

Dont make me laugh Neuty!!!

....can you imagine the equipment an American batsman would demand to face an Australian seamer? and think of the law suits when one of them chipped a finger nail!

Dreaming...

You're kidding yerself red..lol. Use the Olympics as a guide, and you either need us or a bunch of East German "women". Where did you get the idea that we're hung up on protective padding? Watch an NBA game...huge monsters beating on each other, dressed in shorts. If you've never played American football, you might not be aware of the speed and size of the players. We'll let you pad up anyway you choose, and I'll bet lunch and dinner you don't make a half. Silly git... Q

 

[red indian]

Hi Q how are you?.......

....you may be interested to know that a "code swapping" series was suggested recently by the RFU I believe, but the Americans turned it down because of "concerns over insurances".....ahhh....poor babies, dont cry mommy has candy for you!

 

[Admiral Trouser]

And they turned up late for the war....

 

[qjakal]

Insurances...?

Guess they don't want to risk the guys who put the fannies into the seats! Too bad...would have liked to settle this for you definitively! But, when you're making a few million a year you don't want to blow anything out unless it counts, I guess.

I'm fine, btw, and it's good to see you back onboard being your usual self again! Q

I don't know about this thread. 😀

We've a few rugby teams 'round here with our military boys. Let me tell you....they are BIG...and WIDE...and the wear each others' teeth at the end of a game. Puts even the prof football teams I've watched to shame!

The NBA is nothing but a bunch of tall sissies Q-bert! 😛 Football? Take it or leave it. It seems to be too tender to the players. They may play rough in regard to the rules...but the rules seem slack to me. Players just standing around for half the game. There is a lot of RESTING in football. LOL How many players ever play a full game? And what's this new trend of taking off their padded little hats while on the field? Look at my pretty face please!

No, I'm not saying that just anybody can step onto the field, but I am saying that if you make multiple millions of dollars a year to play a game in front of people...I want to see you break a bone!

[red indian]

Well done Q.........

......you seem to be one of the few who pick up the idea of the "mutually insulting dialouge" which us Brits thrive on, and which confirms you as a true friend.

 

[red indian]

Blimey Q!!!.....

...you can not be serious! NBA is a "non contact" sport so any trouble is down to the referee, you can not compare NBA to Rugby League or Rugby Football union. I had in mind the limp wristed guys who play American Football or Ice Hockey, these guys would not get on the field for fear of spoiling their looks, to sell Coke or MacDonalds or for fear of "worrying their insurers"

As for your remarks about "padding up" thats unlikely given my disabilities, but how do you think your guys would fancy the return leg with out the padding? ....not much I fear, especially without those precious insurances.

 

[qjakal]

Non contact?

To quote a buddy of mine:

"Blimey!"
Non- contact my great aunt Fannies arse....a good game of basketball leaves you bruised pretty much everywhere red...lol. It's fast and dangerous and under the basket life is very very rough indeed. I've seen your rugby geeks...all in a big circle hugging each other...what's up with that sort of nancy pants behavior...hmmmph!
😉 😛 Q

 

[JoBelle]

AGH!
Stop acting like one another...you're cofusing me!

Truth be told, none of those "athletes" could go a round in the best sport! They'd crumble after a little tickling!
Joby 😛

 

[qjakal]

Fantasy a la Joby

So, basically you're sitting there fantasizing about being the "trainer" for these teams, aren't you, Jojo? Yup...read your mind ALL the way from up north! Btw, it's easy to tell red and I apart, I'm the one with the good hair and nice accent. Q
