I know, let's do crossbar challenge!

[Bayerd]

I was out on a ride earlier today, when I saw two teenage boys up ahead playing footy in the road (don't see that as much these days do you?).

Anyway, as I got nearer I heard one say to the other "I know, let's do crossbar challenge!".

It suddenly struck my mind that they could mean kick the ball towards my crossbar.

Anyone else hear things that could be easily misinterpreted whilst out riding?

Yes, and I got arrested for it!






Only kidding

Shall I pop down with a print out of this for Mrs Postman and book you a bed in intensive care while I'm at it?

I can do anything I like because Mrs Vernon is out.

I hour before she's expected back tends to be a bit frantic on the domestic chores front though.

What is "crossbar challenge"?

What is "crossbar challenge"?

You kick a football (soccer) and try and hit the crossbar on the goal. Hours of fun.

What is "crossbar challenge"?

Its a weekly challenge on Saturday morning Soccer AM , they go round the clubs and each player tries to hit the crossbar of the goal from the halfway line.

Thanks DiddlyDodds and Doseone.

Obvious really.

But isn't that a bit like practising to miss?

 

[Paul J]

Is it a crossbar or a top tube?

Thanks DiddlyDodds and Doseone.

Surely it hones your control though? If you can do that at will, then surely you can kick the ball anywhere else with ease??

(Shanks was in Gone With The Wind, wasn't he?)

No, that was Armitage Shanks.

I'm just lifting the lid on your tissue of lies, that's all.

Just get it all out of your cistern.
