This is a much better game

and it would probably be better still on a frozen pitch - it would certainly warm up the players

A/R do you have the ladies version? On a wet day if possible.

 

I've only just discovered this 'sport'. I saw it last night, in a clip within a fascinating program on Florence - (( very interesting )). I greatly enjoyed the program - which included some fabulous architecture and works of art. Within the program was a clip of a savage game of football that looks to be popular in Florence, and which would put our posers to shame....................
as for your suggestion

 

Harooold, I blame it on too much sunshine, a glut of avocados and the proximity of golden beaches hosting International Beach Volleyball ! Medication time now me thinks.

 

and we worry about safe standing

 

That's all very interesting but I have one question, what is the point of the ball?

 

Do you think they have a family stand and yellow jacket brigade

 

grumpygit - are you talking about Priestfield stadium ?............. I have wondered that for many years

 

Always - behave, at Priestfield the ball is the main focus, hoof it high and watch 22 players chase like headless chickens to get it.

 

I bet Charlie Lee would love that Italian game and big old Dave Ship, when men were men.

 

.......... and that's the problem - with so little quality on offer, the fans deserve to see the players suffer for a change..... I think most of them would still live even if they lose a pint of blood.
