Anywhere. From what I can tell the quarter back is the only one with any bit of skill. The rest are just dumb brutes, to be used as pawns by the coach,

Thanks.

I would be amazed if this were true.
Do they not have a lad who gets subbed on specifically for kicking?
How many lads on the team throw the ball?

i think it has 4 ‘quarters’

introduced to allow ‘fans’ the opportunity to have 4 large colas during the event.

That’s becuae you’ve a fairly limited IQ, pal… You attend a few Munster Rugby games with the goys every year and have bought into the Paddy Power train of thought that slags off American Football and holds Rugby up as a ‘manly’ game. As far as I know, no one in American football has ever had their anus gouged - Unlike the ‘manly’ game, rugby - where it is a regular occurance.

Kevin you are a very patient man. Any of these clowns having a pop off you are clearly very envious of you. I respect your ability to immerse yourself yet still stay way above the dimwits who post here.

Having watched American football for many years, I can confirm it is a game of little skill, certainly compared to rugby.

You seem fairly rattled.
I was told a game of American football takes around 4 hours and that the ball is in play for around 10 minutes.
Plenty of time for hot dogs and beer. A serious sport.

Yep, that’s also Gaelic Football. 1 or 2 lads who can kick points and a bunch of gym monkeys who spend their time running up and down the field most of the time without the ball.

I’m fine, pal…you’ve used all this material before…

It’s certainly a game of limited skill. But it’s immensely enjoyable. Largely down to the supremacy of the athletes involved, and the sophisticated coaching.

I’m not really. I predicted their demise about 2 years ago. The political writing was on the wall.

  • Anyone on the team is allowed throw the ball
  • Yes, they bring a lad into play specifically for kicking, similar to a team bringing out a corner forward or bringing up a goalkeeper to take a 45 metre free
