He'll probably argue it was satire!

[modern]

Corn02.....Im not sure if you are aware of Arthur, him and Pints are waging a war against each other for the past few weeks, previous handle was Snowed Under i think. WUM indeed.......

Would explain a lot but I still can not ignore the bait.

Arthur you have now said the diving etc is rampent (sic). So you take back your remark that every socce player is involved in this sort of activity.

I'd say every single match played this weekend in soccer will have people diving, you'd be niave to think otherwise.

You said every player. You would be naive to think every player involves himself in that sort of thing. I'll ask you again,do you take back your remark that every soccer player is involved in this sort of activity?

It's a part and parcel of the modern game - I'd say every player has done it / will do it / would do it - without any quams!!

Just deleted my previous posts on this thread in relation to Arthur. Not worth the hassle.

Thanks maybe you'll stop stalking now.

Arthur taking on the world again 

You just love stalking - get over it kid. 

Irony in the extreme 

Suppose it's better than threatening me with physical violence or calling me abusive names.

And what has that got to do with soccer being a crap sport?  Seriously could you answer?

You said it was without doubt the worst sport on the planet - if you expect anyone tpo believe you mean that maybe your a WUM. Also to say that every player, without exception, would dive etc is highly disrespectful.

The whole sport of soccer is highly disrespectful, from missing drug tests, to match fixing, to ilegal approaches for players etc, diving and play acting is just another part and parcel of it and it is rampant.

Did Clady receive a 72 week ban for the incident with the referee?

Yip thats them finished for the rest of this season and the whole of next season, the whole club is apparantely banned, underage and all,

The underage thing is very very harsh.

Arthur your a WUM.

Why do you say that, because I think soccer is a joke of a sport?

[Assuming you're serious and not just talking shite to get a rise or some attention]

Assuming you're serious and not just talking shite to get a rise or some attention, you're the one making the argument against soccer as a spectacle. I'm just pointing out that your complaints can easily be targeted at the sport that brings us all to this board. And the 100K/week soccer player is missing penalties and shots against 100K/week defenders and goalkeepers.

Yeah cause I crave it from this board.  True some elements have transfered into some Gaelic matches but without exception every player in soccer will go down as if he were shot when another player comes within one foot of them.  The matches are dull and lifeless with little or no attacking, and there is no way you can justify someone earning 100k a week missing the target when taking a penalty, it's the emperors clothes of sport but if you you find it stimuating, fair play, suppose you support Liverpool or some other English team and have a nice story as to why you do?

[diving (grown men rolling about the floor as if they were shot, it's embarrassing stuff), poor passes - poor shooting]

I honestly don't see the attraction of soccer, 90 minutes of back passes, diving (grown men rolling about the floor as if they were shot, it's embarrassing stuff), poor passes - poor shooting (how can anyone being paid 100k a week to play football miss a penalty and in a lot of cases miss the target completely) and inevitably it will end 0-0 or 1-0.  You have to hand it to the marketing guys though to make the mass male population think they have to care about it and be part of it (i.e. part with their hard earned cash for Sky Sports, the ever changing jerseys etc), and especially here in Ireland where it astonishes me why anyone would care about Man U or Liverpool, without doubt the worse sport on the planet.

You must have missed the senior intercounty championship over the past month.

Sorry didn't know those guys were getting paid 100k a week to play football.

[Maybe the masses just find the sport entertaining.]

Is there any sanity left - how anyone can be paid £100,000 a week for kicking a ball is beyond me - the emperor's clothes of sport, and everyone has bought into it, Sky, Setanta and all the clubs must be credited with the greatest marketing ploy off all time.  Pay a fortune to watch English Clubs full of foreign players play out 0-0 and 1-0 matches over 90 minutes, magic stuff altogether!!!!

How do the wages compare with American Football Baseball,Basketball & Ice Hockey in the states?

I wouldn't know or care - but if they are on a par it's equally ridiculous.  Then again when the masses think they have to be part of this social experience they will continue to part with their hard earned cash; and who could blame the players for laughing at them all the way to the bank.
