Girls at football (yes you, Lush)

[Bozza]

Picture the scene:

It is the second half and the Albion have a throw in on the far side midway into the Leicester half. Jarrett (I think) darts down the line beyond the line of defenders and the ball is thrown his way.

"He's well offside" I hear from the Seagull-ette behind me, seemingly blatantly unaware that YOU CAN'T BE OFFSIDE FROM A THOW-IN.

Imagine my surprise, my shock, my horror and my huge disappointment when I later saw that this was none other than our own Lush.

I thought she was one of us. A blokey sort of bird who likes beer, farting and football. As such it was expected she would know the rules - at least one such as this.

Today, my life is a sadder place. An illusion has been shattered. And shat on too.

suprised she even noticed what was going on in the match, I would have thought she'd just be looking at the players legs

Dwayne, don't judge everybody by your own standards.

I had an arguement with an Albion fan in the pub a couple of weeks ago who maintained that there's nothing wrong with a keeper picking up the ball when it's been passed to him by a team mate. He was male.

As long as the player didn't use his leg below the knee then he would be correct.

and it has to be intentional

he's probably just judging by mine!

Get back to knitting or crochet or whatever it is you women do....

 

[Eddie the Seagull]

I took an ex to her first ever game with her two boys.

I spent the entire game answering questions about the rules & the players, Plus taking the boys to the loo about 20 times & them whingeing that they were bored after about 10 minutes. & I couldn't swear.

Luckily it was a pre-season friendly V Charlton about 4 years ago. The whole experience cost me over £100 too

Never again.

I do go with my sister but at least she knows the players better than me.

My Mum is a serious proper fan. Season ticket holder for about 20 years, been to every away ground we've played at in that time, at least once.

She certainly knows the team as well as I do and I would never knock her knowledge of the club.....BUT....

How can anyone really appreciate the skills they are watching if they have never played the game at any level? When someone executes a perfect volley with the outside of their foot, from a ball dropping over their right shoulder, its easy to say "That's a really difficult skill to execute", because you've heard Ally McCoist say so. But if you have never kicked a ball inyour life, how do you really know?


I wait to be flamed, but I am genuinly intruiged.

If it's not intentional then it's not going to be a pass though, is it?

 

[London Calling]

Girls at football should be treated like cheerleaders and page 3 models, that is, to be seen and not heard.

Seeing as most of the players are midgets there isnt much leg to look at!

you don't watch the Albion much then ........

I have never played rugby - but when I see a superb side-step or disguised pass, or a bone-crunching tackle I can appreciate it.

I barely played cricket - but it is the same there.

I suppose most females watching football won't be imaging themselves out there - but perhaps they do.

I disagree.

When I see someone play a really fine late cut off a decent spinner, I applaud because I know it bloody hard, as I have perished trying it many many times.

Watch the platform diving at the Olympics and its a great spectacle, but you don't really understand why one dive is harder to perform than another, as you've never tried it. I haven't anyway.

Apart from Guy's chunky thighs of course! You want to watch out for all those leg-loving fans - he's the target

But if you watched enough of it you would get an appreciation of it. As a one-off - sure - but the more you watch and the most interest you take - the greater your appreciation. I'd have thought. Maybe not the same as a Club diver (like Andy Johnson) though.

 

[Lush]

Fookin' hell, can you not make a minor mistake and not have it POSTED ON NSC!!!!!!!!!!!! Did I get Knight and Carole mixed up more than once? Did I wax lyrical about the Golden Wonder stadium?



In my defence I would just like to mention that not for a long time have we had a player quick enough to look offside from a throw in.......

And anyway you GIT. Why did you not turn round and say hello?
