[quote=“ChocolateMice”]I knew i’d get this about certain sports/ games… i’d probably call it a game… you just have to be able to hurt your opponent
to call it sport :)[/quote]
You obviously never got a belt of a pool ball or a dart to the back of the head:p
[quote=“ChocolateMice”]Depends on your own definition of sport really Mac, for me it should generally consist of a pitch, a ball, contact and played by men. There are others such as boxing, tennis, track and field etc that i would also accept. But i would consider the likes of golf and darts etc as games. Tag is no different then going to a gym really except with more interaction, therefore it is a social event that is generally attended by wankers, it is not a sport.
The fact that Dan keeps pushing the “its a great way to meet women” suggests the mentality here. Desperados that haven’t got the balls or know how to do it the good old fashion way alluded to by Bandage earlier. If people want to lower them selves to this level for the off chance of seeing some action well good luck to them…I’d rather have a wank.[/quote]
Would swimming not be a sport Choccy
There’s more to it than meeting women though. You could argue that lads going to Coppers every weekend is the same level of desperation.

You could, but there is no one fooling anyone in that game. You both know the score… in tag you have guys creating the illusion that A) its a sport. B) that women can some how compete with men in a sport and C) both a+b are used by the deperados to get their end away with no consideration for the rest of us real men who have to listen to the tall tales of sporting greatness achieved by these deluded cows.
I’m one of the most open minded people you’ll meet but there are certain things that i will not budge on… The social event being part of a larger picture involving women and sport.
[quote=“treaty_exile”]WBY for scrumhalf?
most of the best teams in this “sport” (commas to appease certain mods) that I’ve come across tend to stick with one little yappy fecker who’s constantly on the move.
no offence intended in the least to William Butler.[/quote]
TE - Nail on head -
A yappy little fucker I am indeed.
Anyway I’m supposed to be playing on a team already on a thurs night but would be glad to play on Tues or Wed.
Thurs is the best for social (mixed) tag as there are usually plenty of pints after
There is a “men only” league- super league. Standard is much higher, usually also takes place Tues, Wed, Thurs depending on the venue.

Hail hail TFK tag

WBY - where is the super league played? Would this more acceptable to the staunch narrow minded TFK’ers out there?
The management committee are discussing potential terms and conditions to offer the 3 ladies. Its the thoughts of seeing Mairegangaire in a pair of shorts thats thought to be holding up contract offers.
What you don’t want Mac is a bird whose turn of foot is impaired by having a huge set of Manchester Citys. It’s only right that potential female team members post up a picture of their breasts on this thread. It’ll be for the good of the embryonic team.
There are 3 things i will never do - take it up the ass, dish out a blowie or play tag rugby. I pretty much game for anything else.
My take on this pasttime is thus - If you want to play rugby, play rugby. If you want to be a fun boy, be a fun boy. If you want to meet “sporty birds”, go to a lezzer hang out. If you want to chase women in shorts around a field, head down to the local primary school for a game of kiss chase. Combining all of the above and calling it a sport is just plain wrong.
If a group of people ever take to a field in tfk jerseys and partake in this charade, I will personally drive on to said field and mow them down.
Chocolate Mice I reckon myself, yourself, Phil Leotardo, The Runt, Rintintin and a few of the other lads in the midwest should set up at tag rugby team…We could take on the lady boys above in Dublin in an interprovencial game…
