The off-side rule explained in several easy lessons...





While repeating Scrobs' all-time mantra of appreciation of the female form, this little clip has brought much happiness to these old eyes...

The Luscious Senora O'Blene, in her prime, was teaching tennis, hockey, netball and that evil 'game', lacrosse, to all sorts of school children, from the sophisticated ladies at private educational establishments to kids enjoying a knockabout in Hastings.

I showed her this, and we both agreed that just maybe, they could leave football to the lads, and get on with wounding their own opponents in games where males would certainly get hammered at every turn!

They are pushing this nonsense like crazy and nobody gives toss, its not even second rate as that would take a good few more years to attain, if ever.

Never mind the standard - money is behind it.

The bbbbbc would never show a real lacrosse game, or a proper ladies hockey team in action without endless comparison with blokes, Thud, so we've just given up on the state broadencasteren...

You're probably right, Mr H, but what sort of hedge fund likes the idea?

It must be the bbbbbbbc!

So it's tax they're getting then!

GG has just come in from her greenhouse where she likes to sit and have a ponder then looked at her climbing French bean, the dwarf yellow ones called Sonesta, and her two toms which I must admit have never looked better, then I read this and don't know where you are all coming from except from all the men versus women claptrap. Does nobody understand that males and females have different abilities whether it be in the workplace or on some sort of playing field. At the end of the day does it really matter? Life is a game and you do what you can. Sometimes you win and sometimes you lose but I don't like it when they're being dissed for doing their best.

Deffers not intended to belittle the fairer sex, Goosey, it's just a reminder that the MSM are so into bigging up sport where it has no need to over-represented, a few chuckles are well within the bounds of human nature!

You only have to flick through Youtube to see all the failures of blokes, who are utterly useless at sport, but it does work both ways, and I don't see why I have to forget the golden voices of Christopher Martin-Jenkins, Bill McLaren et al for the sake of political correctness by the bbc, sky and the rest!

BTW, my local rugby club has a superb women's section, and they play extremely well. Mrs O'Blene used to play as well, although she preferred a rougher game as in the post, but then girls are better at handling than blokes...;0)

Sorry all, obviously got my lacrosse stick crossed. BTW what's MSM?

Scrobs. said...

No probs Goosey! I really do wish that we could see some games of lacrosse, netball etc, but as the MSM (Main Stream Media) insist on political correctness at every turn, I tend to go the other way...

They're now saying that 'all male' comedy writing teams will be banned, and that they'll need a mixture of blokes, gals, a dog called Mary, three eagles and a spider.

Mind you, as the bbc doesn't do comedy any more, just hurls childish insults at President Trump, Boris and anyone else who pays their wages, we don't ever watch the stuff anyway.

It's tincture time, and mine's a spritzer as I'm very, very thirsty!
