Its RVP's own fault, he should take a leaf out of Cisse's book, ensure you are caught offside well before you get into the box, that way play will be safely halted before there is any prospect of a defender hitting you with the ball. Simple.
The best thread we've had in a long time! Well done Inked. Andy, keep your pictures coming - they're a real funny part of this Board!!! I almost choked on a choc-ice when I heard Fergie just stopping short of calling it attempted murder. I watched a rugby game last week where a player got the rough edge of the ball and planted it straight into another guys face. It didn't even get a mention. Seriously, our game gets wimpier by the year. Its an embarrassment sometimes. They even had a Neurosurgen on SSN to tell everyone how dangerous it is to get a ball in the head. Yet I can't recall there ever being a case of someone dying or getting seriously injured from getting a football square on the Nut. Total farce.
Have to agree with Swordsie here. Just checked in, even though not606 has been a little sh1te for a while, and almost spilt my wine when 9s said 'footballs should be kicked out of football'! Inky, me ould buddy, you certainly start the best threads (incl 'Irish Rs'). With you, me lad, what's rare is beautiful. Have a good Christmas boys, and Beth.
