Footballers - Spitting on pitch 'is flu risk'
http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/8327576.stm
It's about time they put a stop to this. I'm a football fan, but spitting anywhere disgusts me, including on the football pitch - it's completely unnecessary.
And to quote Chelsea coach, Carlo AncelottiL "I know very well what I have to do if I have the flu. It's not a medical prescription. It's my grandmother's prescription - hot milk. Alcohol - red wine. Fantastic."
Lunatic.

Whenever i played sunday league footy it was freezing cold every morning it seemed, then when the weather finally gets warm in May the season finishes !
they should bad old people dribbling on the bus.
hang on...
spitting on the pitch, they should stop them dribbling first.
yep thats the joke were using. the rest can be edited out. :lol:
I'm in the village team here in the Massif Centrale mountains, playing most Sundays. Many snowy matches. If you spit a bit of it will often blow back into your face and freeze.
and the irony is that it's NOT blackburn saying this!!!!!
I bet the woman in question would have knackered stretched out lycra leggings on, and flip flops showing her scruffy toes off, a camel toe the size of a beetle bonnet, and a Lambert hanging out of her gob :D
I'm not sure that's all that lunatic a solution. A few people I know have been given Tamiflu and without fail, it made them feel terrible - in a different way from, but nearly as bad as, the actual flu. Staying in bed and riding it out, fighting the symptoms rather than the infection, and waiting to get better, might well be your best bet.
I've spent the last few years working in education, where I got free flu jabs. Bummer of a year to move to the private sector :)
Off of Wiki..
(bold stuff added by me)
For the love of Christ, don't bring me into this sordid little fantasy.
you can pretty much have an allergic reaction to anything, an allergic reacion to asprin can kill you.
my fave side effect is the ones given on paracetamols. side effects include - headaches.
Well it sounds kind of goofy if you call it a Butler :D
Must admit during my younger years playing footy i'm surprised there wasnt warnings about playing on astro turf pitches. Regularly used to have tons of cuts/wounds on my legs/knees from making tackles on astroturf and getting burn marks because of them.
Think of all the players who do the same and the amount of blood/dried up blood all over the pitch. Someone makes a tackle on astroturf and their wound squelches into someone elses blood on the turf etc.
Footballers are braindead neanderthals lets face it.... They run around a pitch, hugging each other like a bunch of girls every time they score a goal (maybe they should take their handbags), then they fall to the floor everytime these footballer wimps injure themselves (maybe little timmy broke his fingernail and wants his mommy. LOL).
... Don't get me started on when their throwing the toys out their pram after getting a rollocking from the ref (ref you should should give em a baby rattle to settle disputes with) :-D
:-D
... Fake football injuries wind me up even more. I seen better acting on an episode of Emmerdale (and that's saying something):-
If you like stereotypes you should hear what most people think about us computer geeks ! Trying to justify why its not sad in your 30's to play computer games you did as a kid is quite difficult !
And you take the mick out of footballers ! Pot kettle black !
I'm not at all bothered by what others think of my computing hobby. At least my hobby doesn't mess up the television schedule. :-)
Have you seen whats on TV nowadays ? I'm very very glad when theres football and it messes up the tv schedule ! Gives me something to watch for once
If I had to chose between TV Soaps, football, pop karaoke (a la Simon Carrol's 'Crap Factor') and a pot of paint, then I would choose some paint to paint the wall and watch it dry :-D
However some computer bloke who doesnt like sports isnt really a good one to give his view on premiership footballers though. Come on let it go ! It was a long time ago when you were picked on at school for being crap at sports ! And to be fair you made a great goalpost ! ;)
New thread; Does anyone else here hate Watchdog ?
Yes
Yes
Yes.
That new Coldplay song is crap isnt it ?
Yep totally agree
Yep
etc
I must admit sometimes i think 'surely everyone thinks the same' and i'll post something like 'That new Boyzone song is terrible....' but someone will say 'nope i quite like it...'. Amazing the wide range of different tastes we have here, thank god we are the same when it comes to the Speccy !
Oooooooo - what colour?
i like fitness, like running and riding my bike, but playing sport doesn't appeal, its the whole hanging around with men in locker rooms that doesn't appeal, have been swiming and playing squash with various girls.
What about the money and the gang bang rapes and the fighting in public with the public? And crashing cars when drunk and killing whole families? And the dolly bird wives that are usually well out of your league (and that's not saying much)? And then when you are past your prime, going on to commentate on the TV and saying the completely obvious for loads of more dosh? And the advertisment deals? And starring in movies about yourself?
that sounds liek the perfect saturday night out!!
Yup! I've just bought my season ticket!
