Still at Juve- I thought he'd be too old now.

[welshie]

the so called dive? that was as blatant as they come but you cannot call the italians cheats because of it, it happens all the time! As a part time watcher of "football" its funny seeing the players fall over and writhe in pain.... i would laugh my arse off if i saw that same man play rugby or australian rules football and then they will know real hurt

Football/Soccer players sustain just as much as serious injuries as Rugby and AFL. That is why Football players end up being sidelied for weeks and months as well due to injury. I will name you just 2 Juventus players who are out of action. David Trezequet was out and is still out for months due to a knee surgery and Buffon the goal keep is out until early next year because of ongoing back problems. Manninger the second goal keeper has been Juve's goal keeper for months now and done an excellent job as well. And we have had many other players sidelined to. Knezević was out for months after playing just his first game for Juve. And this is just Juve. All football teams get serious injuries. Look at the A-League if you follow it. It happens there as frequent as it does for your precious AFL. So Football/Soccer isn't such a soft game as you make it out to be.

Actually most modern footballers are extremely soft when compared with rugby or AFL. It's a fact of life.

Well back to football, this weekend is the Old Firm and it turns out us Rangers fans will be arrested if we do the Hokey Cokey :S

This isn't a joke, they are claiming it is sectarian. :S

He is old but as strong as a mule. Probably has 1 more year left in him I would say.

What about the Primera Liga and Bundesliga ones?

[AKR]

By the way stupid Chelsea could of reclaimed their lead in the Premier League. All they had to do was beat Everton. But no, they had to draw another game and thus Liverpool remain first.

oh that what is so sectarian about that?

[texasmr2]

Put your left foot in,
Your left foot out,
Your left foot in,
And shake it all about.
You do the hokey pokey
And turn yourself around.

That's the one.

Who knows? Apparently the theory is that the song was created way back in the 15th century by those opposed to the Catholic church mocking the "hocus pocus" of their religious ceremonies.

A Scottish MP is taking it to Parliament. Arrests are threatened, it is disgraceful.

I thought the theory behind the song was for children to have fun while interacting as a group, I guess I was wrong.

You'd think that.

Sadly I think the PC brigade have ran out of things to censor, so they've started picking on perfectly innocent songs.

[texasmr2]

Yah I thought about mentioning the PC Army yet I knew everyone was hip to the scene. Sorry for getting OT so back to the original topic of soccer!
