Seeing as we're out of season I was just wondering what else everybody watches when there's no football on. Be good to know so we all know who we can talk to about other sports. I know Valley likes his boxing and we had a chat when then Froch v Kessler fight was on as did Mikra, Neveroff and Swim to name a few. Talking of Swim, he likes his rugby and in case you don't know he's done a thread about the Lions over at the International rugby forum. It's pretty good too to be fair which as you all know is very surprising for him The Ashes is starting on 10th of July but will anyone here be watching or supporting England ? I suppose it's a given that Mabon will be glued to the box wearing an Aussie jersey and a hat with corks on but what about the rest of you. So come on tell all so we can have a chat about summer sports too. With Wimbledon around the corner how many of you will be watching Kournikova ? Personally, I'll watch all the above especially Kournikova
All sports for me. Especially Rugby, Boxing, MMA, Formula 1, Ashes cricket and some twentytwenty, golf majors and tennis opens.
Don't really watch anything apart from football, but did enjoy the Olympics last year. So athletics would be my favourite I guess, followed by formula 1 . Can't abide cricket , tennis will probably only watch the semis and final. My family takes the slack of going to watch football, but yesterday I took the car for new tyres and service, then went shopping , that took up most of my day, later on took the kids up to visit Mamgu and had food there. All in all a busy day.
Bear baiting, hawking, digging up badgers, taunting old men , frightening small children & mammals, oh and cricket
Well I do like F1, bit of a petrol head. Golf is another of my past times, don't get to play so much these days as I'm always ferrying my boy to Football training or games. I do enjoy watching swimming, being as this is the my field of work, been to many a World Championship I do recommend going to watch it's really good, and it does have some benefits.
You can actually do all them in Bonymaen too I watch the F1 too, British Grand Prix up next in a fortnight
Rugby, cycling,tennis , I really don't like F1 although i did during the sixties and early seventies , boxing although again it seemed a more noble & relevant in the earlier decades.
Last time I went there was by helicopter went to the first Malaysian Grand Prix in 1999, and had pit passes as my mate's brother was a mechanic for Jordan back then. Brilliant place to visit despite everything up the road
Boxing, rugby, Formula 1, golf majors and cricket before Sky stole it from the public domain. Never watch cricket now and have lost all interest. Thank you Sky.
INTERESTING OBSERVATION 1 The sport of choice for the urban poor is FOOTBALL. 2 The sport of choice for maintenance level employees is BASKETBALL. 3 The sport of choice for front-line workers is RUGBY .. 4 The sport of choice for supervisors is CRICKET. 5 The sport of choice for middle management is TENNIS. And.... 6 The sport of choice for corporate executives and officers is GOLF. THE AMAZING CONCLUSION: The higher you go in the corporate structure, the smaller your balls become. There must be a ton of people in politics playing........... MARBLES!
Boxing, UFC, handball (hugely underrated sport, there is a swansea handball club now as well), occasional rugby match, golf Nothing comes close to my football though!
Its probably easier to list the sports I dont like and to be fair, I cannot think of any! With a little bit of patience and appreciation to the skill/culture, I have found myself enjoying everything from curling to kabaddi and from sumo to sailing The desire for man to improve himself and overcome is a powerful thing and ecapsulated in all sports.
I love a bit of MotoGP. I ride a motorbike. (Which I fell off of 2 weeks ago and broke a collarbone). I used to watch F1, but it all got a bit too complicated to enjoy. DRS zones and 1.8s follow gaps and tyre changes and fuel loads, PAU!
I don't like horse racing it bores me to tears. Will watch just about anything else mentioned above though
