Recommended Posts

Yes I know. 'Sport' was invented as a spectacle to be watched. The word wasn't used as such in the Middle Ages, people just did it.

Millions of Thais use skin whitening crap and guess why? You were told to like it, so you did. The only sport I watch occasionally is snooker.

people don't watch football, or other sports, because they are 'told' to.

and snooker isn't a sport.

Is!

Although I agree with you about the game and cheating, they are pretty harsh words from theblether against the player, is their any more information to support he did this for his own gain only?

Maybe the consequence of not scoring that own goal could have been a lot worse for him, his family.

Well, fitness studio where I come from, maybe you are still capable of learning new things? and I wasn't aware that I was whinging. You having fun insulting people?

I earned a lot of money over the years from people that thought that physical labour was demeaning and see them going off to their expensive 'gym'.

They also went to a solarium (sorry, is that too difficult for you?) to get tanned, tanned like a labourer that had been working in his garden all day.

Apologise if them there sun machines make your skin soft rather than thick skinned and old'n wrinkly ....only banter here and nothing more.

See where your moniker comes from now! solariams in Salford where brass houses where you got more than your skin cooked.

Toodle pip!

I cannot be 100% sure, but i think the player in question confessed everything...

A few years ago there was a blatant own-goal at the World Cup, a defender from Colombia scored an amazing shot into his net..The fact was completely ignored by the world press, but the guy was shot dead about 1 month later in Colombia.

The link to the bbc in theblethers original post stated the folllowing:-

Andrea Masiello admits to deliberate own goal in Italy

A defender has been given a 22-month suspended prison sentence in Italy after admitting to scoring a deliberate own goal in Serie A in May 2011. Andrea Masiello, 26, who is currently without a club, confessed in court to intentionally diverting the ball into his own net while playing for Bari. His side lost 2-0 to Lecce, who escaped from relegation with the win. Masiello's confession, at a tribunal in Bari, ensured he avoided serving time in jail.

Italian footballers have a lot to answer for.

They introduced hugging and kissing after scoring a goal, into the game.

Good point, well made.

I've noticed it's started to creep into Rugby as well. The hugging, not the kissing. Yet !!

" sweeping generalisation "

So is it fair to say the English invented hooliganism ?rolleyes.gif

btw, i prefer sober celebrations too, a handshake is enough for a goal, and a hug should be given only to a goakeeper who scores a goal from behind the midfield linecoffee1.gif
