what draws you to this part of MN, particularly if you are a man? and if you dont support feminism?

[bejeezusWC]

just what the title says really....

I have read a few contributors, and I really want to point to them and ask 'what are YOU doing here?' but its not on is it

bum ! I can't paly that vid-ay-o

*play

Off topic, but I saw the freekick for England (woman's team) against Holland and was really dissapointed. I'd have been furious if the Dutch had done that against us. I've probably watched 1000's of games of football, live and on TV, and never seen that before. Sure the opportunity has been there to do it but there is such a thing as fair play or good sporting conduct, and I fail to see the acheivment in scoring a free kick when the opposition don't know it's about to be taken and neither do most of your own team. That's not being quick witted, it's being unsporting. Luckily the result didn't matter to Holland they still won the group. Poor show.

porn - it happens fairly regularly which is why it's a good professional practice for the defending team to have a player obstructing the taker, albeit temporarily, to allow time for the defensive wall to be constructed and the goalkeeper be set.
What Yankey did could be seen as unsportspersonlike, but I would rather admire her quick-wittedness and knowledge of the rules of the game.

Shall I ask MNHQ to move this thread to dadsnet ? :o

Lordy no. Dadsnet is a quiet, sacrosanct place. This thread is too...erm...lively.

We take the long view in Dadsnet.

I'm coming to dadsnet. do you talk about other stuff except boring foot ball?

Nope. Just footie Hully. Ad feckin' nauseum.

... like a ponderous glacier :o

There's nothing stopping you from starting your own thread and asking a question of your own, Hully.

Just be prepared for the speed of responses to need timing with a calendar.

We have nekid mud wrestling every Friday night Hully...

I go on BME forums
Mind if I ask which ones OP? I'd like to try them out.

you weren't joking, were you?

How boring is dadsnet?

porn the de happened in the women's world cup

Why wait for the opposition to organise their defence? It's a free kick

Where even is dadsnet???

Because I believe in equality and justice and fairness for all. I couldn't say I'm a feminist because everybody seems to have a different idea of what it means. According to Wikipedia I'm a feminist, but some peoples idea of what a feminist is much more outre. (YES! I've always wanted to use that word!)

It doesn't happen fairly 'regularly' at any level, and yes it was unsportsmanlike.

But of course you can remember Yankey for her skill if you wish. I'm sure you can still find folks who think that Greg Chappell instructing his younger brother Trevor Chappell to bowl underarm to win The World Series Cup was a quick witted interpretation of the rules...

as an aside, what is a "pornmonkey" ?

Well no it doesn't happen regularly only because most teams are professional enough to delay the free kick.

Are you from the Netherlands by any chance?

I always think the netherlands sounds a bit rude

unsporting, surely, if she were so?

I prefer unsportspersonlike. (though she wasn't being at all....)

Haha, quite! robot
And can we not have women's team in brackets please

Sorry, yes unsporting. No I'm not Dutch. And was delighted for England to get through their group.

Someone on here called me a pornmonkey yonks ago for having a (differing) opinion to her on porn. It wasn't meant nicely but it kind of tickled me, I told my wife, and it became a pet name between us, as in "How's my little pornmonkey"
