Are footballers a bunch of pussies ?

[Andy in Sig]

Yep, big bunch of overpaid mincing jessies.

Liam Gallagher who was ringside also threatened to punch the blokes behind us, who were casting aspersions on the virginal state of his then wife Patsy, but that's another story.[/quote]

I've never played rugby but have watched a fair bit, and hearing a crunching tackle going in and then the guys just get up and walk away! puts footy in perspective a little.

rugby tackles with the body, football with metal studs near shins and ankes, there is a hell of a difference in the concentrated impact and the injuries that can occur. As an ex footballer who suffered 2 kick throughs of both bones at the ankle I am not condoning diving tactics, but at least footballers don't scrum down... an excuse for intimate male bonding and bottom fondling in my opinion

Must admit though, I did used to enjoy watching Arsenal when they were good 2 or 3 years ago, it was like the ball was glued to there feet!
