Funny thread...


I`m a central defender with good heading skills. I used to be very fast until a knee injury slowed me down. I had 6,9 secs on 60 meters.
I played for a local 3 division club in norway.
I often played as a right back aswell. As a player im similar to Jamie Carragher.
Now im just a fat slow molby type of player that plays for the clubs "old boys" (over 34 years)

When I was younger I was a Milan Baros type. Head down and forget the rest of the team. Scored a good few goals but got sent off too often and got binned by the coach. Now I'm more like Razor, can never seem to get shorts the right size:)

When I did play football I was either a left winger or a 'keeper (the latter mainly because no one else wanted to play there). Equally able with both feet, good reflexes, very quick over short distances (I was one of the fastest sprinters at school and excelled at touch rugby), but no real ability at close controlling the ball (probably due to my complete lack of training) and completely hopeless in the air (I can't jump to save my life). Being only 5'10" didn't make me a great keeper either, though I was athletic enough to make a decent enough showing. Of course, I'm 40 now and living in the Orient means I haven't kicked a ball in close on 10 years. I still play a mean game of squash or golf though. wink

lol. I was actually quite decent at both long distance running and sprinting at school, and it was a better "summer sport" choice for me than basketball (short guy who can't jump) or the various swimming disciplines like diving, water polo, or just plain swimming (I'm one of the worst swimmers EVER). I would have taken football had the school offered it, but back in the day when I was at school it was considered 'naff' (not sure if that word is really part of English, but basically football was considered to be played by "sissies" or "poofters" [gays] while real men played rugby - gotta love societal stereotypes of the 70s and 80s in South Africa).

I'm not Chinese, and the question does not offend me. I'm pretty much immune to racial commentary/discrimination having grown up as the only white kid at a mountain resort where all the staff other than my parents were black, and as a result I've honestly never viewed a person as different because of his race despite the governmental regime in which I grew up.

I've played a little badminton, and about the same amount of tennis, but never took to either. I far prefer squash to other racquet sports.

youre all a bunch of liars. i agree with growls, put your c*cks and rulers away men.

as a spectator i like the game pretty much as is.

as a player i'd like to make the following points:
* the pitch is too big and i have to run too much.
* the game is too long.
* there's too many players on the field.
* the last thing in the world i want to do is head a goal keepers 60 yard toe job of a kick out, back in the other direction.
* the above is followed closely by getting into a 50-50 challenge with a middle aged white van driver who hates his life and wants to take it out on some poor innocent souls knees.
* its either too cold or too sunny to play.

give me 5 or 6 aside any day, that way i have some strength and oxygen left to do something with the ball other than fall over it when it comes to me.

Use to play CB as I was very good at it, but was moved into midfield as my teammates said I was too good to be a defender.(Sadly defenders are looked down upon over here). Usually play as a deep lying play-maker, and pressure opponents before they reach the defense. My passing and vision are good enough for the role, but I play deep because everyone wants to attack (including the defenders!), like getting forward occasionally when the team plays deep. I can dribble the ball well past players, though strangely my best position is probably goalkeeper. I have probably let in only a handful of goals for the last couple of years (we play rotation for the GK role during matches).
