ANd it certainly won't ask you for any suggestions. It would be like suggesting we change heterosexual sex to include bestiality because you find it "boring" as it is. 95% of the people on the planet love soccer and heterosexual sex. Neither is going to change, ever. I don’t think the richest, most watched and most loved sport on the planet needs any changing. ANd it certainly won’t ask you for any suggestions.

You know how confused they get... Anyway, all games that involve chasing a ball up and down a field are boring. You have to admit though - even GAA things would be livened up a bit if they held two matches at once? P.S. I removed the link, because it would have been duplicated, and that would confuse people. They can still click on your name! ;) Gombeen – I used the word ‘soccer’ because otherwise I’d have all those bloody Americans complaining about their form of football.

Team One: get ball, run up to one end of pitch, bog toe it over the bar (or hit it with your stick). Team Two: get ball, run up to one end of pitch, bog toe it over the bar (or hit it with your stick). At least in (world) football - "soccer" is a term used by Yanks and Gah Heads, you can only score if you possess the skill to beat the goalkeeper. Hoofing it over the crossbar is considered a miss. Oh, and it isn't just the David Beckams of this world who play it (and are better known as celebs because of the commercial interest the most popular game in the world attracts), but kids from Sao Paulo to Soweto do so too - purely for love!

They're too easy. I understand that the point value of a Pommy tourist is going up due to an expected large influx of them this coming season.

But we preferred the British. Quickroute - I like the idea of a bit of violence, but I think the idea of throwing Twink in is too disgusting for words. I wouldn't inflict that on my worst enemy. And we have enough of those damned phone in things. I hate 'em. TT – So did we. But we preferred the British.

It's called hurling! I also like the Gladiator theme except we also get to throw in politicians and disagreeable celebrities like Twink into the gladiators arena.
