That’s a very facile and naive argument. No one is trying to stifle debate, I’m just trying to keep it on topic.
The topic was simply asking for people to come along and watch Warrington Town FC in their big game. It was specific to that club. It wasn’t asking for people to open up an in-depth, general debate on whether football is a game for mard-s.
Have you never seen threads on here that make a request and then receive zero replies? They just drift down onto page 2 and disappear because people have no interest in them.
If you have no interest in Warrington Town, then people should just click onto the next thread rather than getting their soapbox out and going off-topic about football.
As for using terms like 'Wendy/fanny/girly'; it strikes me that these are just synonyms pedalled by people who would much rather use less-PC terms.
Oh and for the record, I am no big football fan. This is just one of innumerable things that gets right on me threps. |

Thousands of girls play the game every weekend. Lots of girls playing football in Warrington - Crosfields, Vulcan (sort of Warrington), Winwick, Fife, Appleton, Lymm.... Big in lots of schools too.
I think it was the fastest growing participation sport in England a couple of years back. |

Girls do play it but it's not a girls game, and it certainly isn't the girls game as Moving on would imply it to be. |

| Quote Monsieur Invisible="Monsieur Invisible"People who call football wendyball or fannyball are just embarrassments to themselves, not to mention blinkered and in total denial about rugby league.
Think about rugby league. Last weekend, I lost count at how often I saw massive Kiwi players throw themselves face first into the turf at the play-the-ball when no contact was made. What happened? Penalty, penalty, penalty. What a load of massive WendyFannies they all are. I’ve seen RL players ‘take themselves out’ after kicks or run directly into defenders and go down like Ronaldo, looking for a penalty, and defenders doing likewise running into attackers when trying to get tries chalked off for obstruction. It’s just a way to try and earn an advantage within that sport.
Don’t get me wrong. I much prefer rugby league and cricket to football, but I accept that footballers rolling around on the floor, clutching their faces after being blown a kiss, or diving for penalties when there’s no contact is just that game’s version of gamesmanship. It’s done to try and earn a free-kick, win a penalty, get an opposing player booked/sent off or rile the opposition into playing badly or overly aggressively. It’s wrong, embarrassing and laughable, that it just the way in which you try to earn an advantage within that sport.
This may be unpalatable to the noble few RL fans, but it happens in every sport. Cricket has its sledging; boxing its low-blows, and horse racing has so many dodgy things happen, it’s amazing that anyone bothers betting on it at all.
The original point of this thread was a proud Warringtonian trying to garner support for one of the town’s growing sporting teams, the running of which he is heavily involved in. They are doing well and trying to progress up the league and build a fan-base, but this thread, as usual, descends into a load of negative tripe (and the thread was labelled as an O/T before anyone says this is a RL forum). Here’s a thought: if you’re not interested, then just don’t comment at all.'"
Spot on Monsieur Invisible great post. It's not a crime to like RL and football |

i find it hard to watch match of the day or champions league nowadays and certainley dont watch live games,partly due to watching players drop to the floor like theyve been shot,another reason is players wanting more money because a team mate is on more..pathetic they are,and the standard is down right awful to say the least...for example players like carrick sturridge smalling wellbeck getting caps for england,wouldnt pick em for warrington town

Nobody makes you watch it. I don't like soccer these days for my own reasons, so I haven't watched a game in years. Others love it and that is their prerogative, I will take nothing away from them for that!

I'd ask why you added Carrick in there. The first choice centre midfielder for his team who as won five league championships, a Champions League and been in two other Champions League finals in seven seasons.
If he was Italian or Spanish and called Mícheál Carracci or Michel Cardona all the football hipsters would be into him. |
