[NSC] Players spitting

[Postman Pat]

i cant recall seeing this type of behavior in any other grueling sport, so why football?

Yeah just Marathon runners having a pee on the side of the road........

.... whilst still running!

Goalkeepers and Managers do it - nothing to do with the running its the culture of fotball

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

Yes - it was just after the stamp that he did it, to try to con the ref into sending off the player he stamped on!

Probably comes with a prison sentence if you do it in the UAE.

I spit when running or playing football - keeps the lungs clear.

How else are they gonna be able knee-slide. Knockhaert must have hit a spit/snot free zone at the West Ham game

Spitting never used to happen in football why now. I saw a girl spit in the street the other day.!

I've never seen a manager blow a greeny from his nose tbh.

Spitting has ALWAYS taken place in any sport.

Darts. Bowling. Golf. Curling. Alpine Skiing. Table Tennis. Lawn Tennis. Badminton. Beach Football. Volleyball.....

It is all but on a minority of occasions unnecessary, it is a culture/habit that for some reason in football has grown in recent times. You don't go to marathons and watch people gobbing left, right and centre.

Indoor football - can't say I've ever felt the need.

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

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."

Do you have a bottle of water within easy reach?

 

[Triggaaar]

if players are giving 110% for their team

Yes, spit when running too, clears the airways out. Goes onto the grass , so can't see the problem.

Though not sure if it's an age thing that I build up so much gunk in the back of my throat.

 

[Petee]

More of a swallow man myself......

Gary Lineker once took a shit on the pitch playing for England in Italia 90, the crisp selling political sage didn't even bag it up after.

So that makes spitting fine in my opinion.

 

[Munkfish]

Whats wrong with spitting! bloody hell. As long as its not directed at them let it go.
