is it even a mans game anymore?

We went for our 20 week scan yesterday and found out we're having another girl, I'm over the moon but the realisation hit that my offspring will never pull on the number 9 shirt!
I thought about it further and, although I'm only being facetious, I wonder if my daughters could be less manly than the idiots playing the game now....... victor Moses for example.
I hate all this diving and simulation crap, I'm not calling for 2 footed tackles etc but just man up a bit!!!!!

 

Moses is a disgrace

 

Moses is a basket case

 

There are some right pussies in the game these days I agree.
Cograts on being a father again mate.

 

You'll never see eye to eye with him. Sometimes a parting of the waves is the best option.

 

She could play the women's game, it's getting more popular each year.

 

I don't know ofTEN being more commanding is better.

 

Annoying thing about someone like Moses is that he clearly isn't a pussy. He is a cheat and doesn't care about looking soft to try and 'win' an advantage for his team. In the modern game there is sadly little shame left.

Gratz about the scan and child though!

 

Bring back proper tackling into the game. Allow tackles from behind and fair two footed challenges. Allow keepers to be challenged. Automatic red cards for diving or faking injury. Football is full of fannies now, but that's what money does. I'd love to see Victor Moses on the same pitch as someone like say Tommy Smith.

 

He's also **** at footy.

Congrats on the kid.

 

Indeed. Good ol Eric showed how it was done back in the day...

I still love this tackle. If not just for the outcry from those who'd like to see this kind of thing prosecuted!

 

Nowt wrong with that at all. Far more entertaining. Funniest part is he slaps the guy that runs over to him. Quality.

 

Thanks very much for the congratulations.

Clearly you can't do it but I loved Janmaat's "challenge" the other week.
On a more legal note, I still fondly remember Prince Bassongs challenge on Kenwyne Jones.

 

Goalkeeper plays with 'broken neck'

Maybe not a man's game any more, but at least the women have balls:


A goalkeeper for Newcastle United played on after suffering a suspected broken neck in a collision with a team-mate. Laura Wareham, 21, suffered the injury after only 15 minutes against Bradford City on Sunday after she and defender Kate Brooks combined to stop a Bradford forward scoring. She was rushed to hospital, where doctors feared she had snapped her spine near the base of her skull.

Laura tells the Newcastle Chronicle: "They took me off - which I was quite angry about as I wanted to keep playing - but sat on the bench I felt sick and then at half time the physio went to walk with me into the changing rooms and I collapsed. It was crazy and really scary, with the doctors talking about me potentially needing surgery,"

Laura has since been allowed to return home but must return to see a neurologist next week.
