You need to play outdoor astro with no walls and across across a hockey field or something. Walls/cages are crap for football and that’s completely wrong.
Built for fuckers who cant keep the ball between the lines.
I hate seeing lads who are not tradesmen going around with the phone pouchs…you see them in a pair of tight jeans and the pouch hanging out the belt and the shirt tucked in so the pouch is on full view …i always think their living out some childhood fantasy that they think they’re a cowboy with the holster and gun thing goin on strutting round town waiting for it all to kick off at highnoon…its the hight of g*yness …

I hate astro for some reason though, playing soccer where you can kick it off the fookin wall, whats that about?[/quote]
About the same thing as playing rugby with no physical contact allowed…
Also I play astro and there are no walls (would probably help if we had one in front of the goals).

playing across a hockey pitch is worse as the ball is constantly going onto other pitches…
you make a fair point farmer but you cant play contact rugby from May onwards, no insurance due to hard ground etc
Dont knock it til you try it, Iv tried Astro and Il knock it til the cows come home
I’ve played tag rugby and I’ll knock it till the cows come home!
Ah come on Dan, I’m not waiting to play on a team with icky girls before knocking tag rugby. Sure, you can’t slide tackle in astro but at least you can tackle and there’s some physicality involved. A game where you retrieve possession by grabbing a sticky tag off someone’s side, arsehole or wherever is totally ridiculous in my opinion and I’m happy with that conclusion despite thankfully never playing it.
Am I right in saying your an NFL fan?
interestingly and though this is maybe off topic the idea came from there where they play tag NFL until they are old enough to carry all the kit.
I think its a superb concept and has really raised the profile of rugby amongst previosu non fans, incl women who spend money on merchandise also.
So in this instance I am declaring that what is wrong is you and Farmer

Yeah, playing astro is totally different to playing proper soccer on grass or even a prunty pitch. a lad can look much better than he actually is by playing it cos he can uses the wall or by taking out about 3 players by playing a one two as its much harder for a defender to turn on astro surface…also it doesn’t suit individual brilliance as the ball is always running away from you the whole time on astro as there is fcuk all grip to slow the pace of the ball so once you skip by one player you and the ball are running straight into the lad behind him…Thats my excuse anyway…
Oh so if a game results in more women buying merchandise of the game then it is clearly a better game…
Can’t argue with that…

Exactly. They play tag NFL because they are about 8 years old. Adults playing tag rugby is reprehensible and you should serve a custodial sentence for it.

Flag football it was called i think…they were playing that here in the early/mid 90’s

any punter will tell you it is very wrong to be giving out about tips you receive…to use a quote from snatch “if you throw a dog a bone, you dont want to know what it tastes like”…

if you throw a dog enough rotten gone off bones he will bite the nuts off you is another one
true but i believe i have only ever put up two tips here so i dont think that i deserved to be chastised over it…
you should stick to the football was flicking through the euro 2008 thread and you have made some cracking calls over there
Puke, you need to accept how rubbish your tips are and then we can all move on peacefully and in the spirit of friendship.
no bandage…i would gladly accept this if i had made a series of misjudgements and had been wrong on numerous occasions but 2 over the course of 5 months…
