Does anyone else get turned off when you tune into a match eating your lunch/dinner only to see players spitting or emptying the contents of their noses....shouldn't this at least be a yellow card

I know it's not nice viewing, but if players are giving 110% for their team, they're gonna have excess somewhere. It's alright in my book.

I think they should all be obliged to carry a handkerchief in the pockets of their shorts. All that snotting really does put me off my cider and nibbles.

Indeed; I haven't ever seen it on a squash court, and you're not going to tell me footballers are fitter than squash players!

Would squash players do it if they played on a surface that absorbed it?

Darren Freeman - Cheltenham Away - 2000ish - spat on his OWN shirt to try to get someone sent off...

Was that the same match he got sent off for stamping?

I guess we'll never know, but there's nothing that suggests to me they would. :shrug:

I play squash 3 or 4 times a week, and whilst I'm nowhere near the fitness levels of a pro squash player, never once have I thought to myself "Jeez, I really wish we were playing on grass so I could spit."

What do you think tennis and squash players do when they put their shirts up towards their face?

If I'm exercising whether that be football, running or cycling I tend to blow out of my nose, to clear it out.

Fair enough I must admit to spitting when I play football as i get a build up of phlem so i was wondering about others.

i also watch AFL where the players spit, it isn't something that really bother me.

I don't tend to start watching football in a state of arousal so it doesn't bother me too much.
