England oh! glorious England! yet another southern hemisphere scalp under the belt, as South Africa are dragged through the thorny rose bed of Twickenham. The Springboks were twatted comprehensively 53-3 to go down to the biggest defeat their history! good god it was like taking sweets off kids, and it was all done with not a single piece of body armour in sight! how DO they do it I ask American sports fans???

What sport are we talking about here?

Because the answer depends of the sport!

Pleased to help you out F T.......

.......its a game called R.F.U. (Rugy Football Union) which is played all over the world apart from America, were it is considered far too dangerous for young American males, as it involves them letting go of momies hand for 80 minutes and no body armour is allowed.

Interesting... sounds like fun!

Thanks for your time!

this is the longest winning streak in english rugby, right Red?

Oh yeah, America do play rugby ('The Eagles'), but are completely shite at it. Here's an example: they were smashed by CANADA. The Australian reserve grade side beat canada by 100 points. USA vs Australia (or any other good team) - just not allowed by the governing body because it would be an absolute blood-bath. The same reason why boxers in their first pro fight aren't allowed to take on Tyson.

Yeah Biggles,

It's 'cuz we care about real sports... like football!!!

Oh did I say that outloud.

No, I am sure Rugby's a great sport, we just don't have the interest here, and therefore we don't have a good team!!!

 

[Biggles of 266]

'real' football...

mate... any sport where you're allowed to have more than one entire change of team ain't no sport. The point is that the players get out there and play the game, without arsing around and coming off all the time. The RFU is thinking of changing rugby so that a player can only come off the field when they've been too badly injured to continue. Anyway, now that I've isolated myself from the entire population of yanks, I'll shaddup 😛 But really, I'm not serious. Red and I just like to take the piss and have a go sometimes, and we don't actually mean it. Well... I don't. Most of the time. Some of the time. 🙄

Well Biggles,

If you like it I am glad for you. Had I been raised in your town, I am sure I would too. But I am an American born man... so it's in my blood to love football!!!

 

[Biggles of 266]

no worries mate, 'tis all in good fun. I hereby pledge my support to whichever team wins the superbowl this year. Go my team, go!

Biggles

 

[ForgottenTcklr]

[red indian]

Blimey Biggles!!!!!............

.....sell me out why dont you? whats all this "we dont mean it really" stuff? thanks for the words of support though FT, but which code did you have in mind?

Why in the living name of arse is it even called football? Less than 10% of the bleeding game involves kicking the smegging ball, so why football? Now the game you colonials insist on calling "soccer" is truly worthy of the name. There nearly 100% of the time is spent kicking the ball. (Unless Liverpool are playing in which case it spends more time being smacked by hands and stuffed up shirts.)

And then there is Alan Hanson: a Scottish football commentator who's accent would be a darn sight easier to decipher if he could find hi way to extricating his tongue from Garry Lineker's sphincter.😱
