Yeah, folk trying to smack the ball off an opponent’s foot to get one of those short corners / penalty corners. It’s akin to trying to drill a football off a defender’s hand. It’s a joke. Just smack the ball away from goal off a hand and claim a penalty, like the one Murderpool got against hapless Spurs at the start of the champions league final last season.

We are the champions, champions of Europe.
That’s it. Ball control. If the stick is on the ball then it’s harder to dispossess as if you hit the stick first when tackling, it’s a free. Or more often than not if the umpire hears the sounds of sticks clashing ,they blow free even if the player got the ball first.
The balls are quiet chunky and heavy so it’s easier push it off the stick rather than clan strike it.

Ze Germans dominating the show against our girls here
Edged out 2-1 by Great Britain - what a pile of wank.
Who do the Ulster girls play for in this sort of situation?
They are like the rugby and athletics.
I’ve no idea why the soccer split.
The rugby are all Great Britain though.
Athletics I suppose you choose, but when it comes to this they can go either way due to Olympics
