Your Favourite Sport?

[JJBDude]

It can range from Athletics to Football to jumping out of the sky! What is your favourite sport?

I have to say mine is Skateboarding, it used to be Football/Soccer but then I made the choice of dropping one of the sports and I dropped Football/Soccer and I believe I made the right choice. :)

[Ryan]

Enjoy most, just not that good at them :D

Tennis/Football

[Domfunkle]

hmm...I like to play poker (Texas Hold'em), 10-pin bowling, and go-karting. Let this be known: I've been playing Texas Hold'em way before this year's World Poker Tour, which has made the game extremely popular. Quite a fun game, my friends and I play it (recreational of course) when we go over to eachother's houses. I usually win by going all in when I see that there's a chance of a high hand from the flop despite the fact that I have nothing...Get's 'em every time!

[Dcontrol]

Football/Soccer and probably playing 8 ball pool.

[Killer 57]

I like American Football and Basketball, but my favourite is Football, easily.

I really enjoy watching American Football, but it's a strictly watch-only sport. :D

[KatzMotel]

[smileemptysoul]

[John]

I enjoy playing Basketball the most. But when it comes to a professional sport, i love watching and going to baseball games. Go White Sox!

[mjmaskrey]

Football...no question about it! I love kicking people as a sport!

That's 'soccer' for our international friends.

:)

[Killer 57]

Go White Sox!

:@ you guys caught a break in the playoffs, That BALL NEVER HIT THE GROUND! :@ ....sorry about that it just reminded of that game.

[ZeFrenchy16]

Golf.

Used to work at the local driving range (http://www.worldofgolf-uk.co.uk/sw447.asp) so I'm pretty useful. :p

Used to be a Badminton Coach at Scotland's National Academy, blew my knee out good. :D

[rydo-uk]

fav sport is either:football because rangers are the best lol, badminton, golf or swimming

[backin-strachan]

I enjoy golf a lot. You can get easily fit by carrying your clubs around the course.
It requires immence skill and time plus you dont have to run around, get out of beath and end up all sweaty;)

[Tom90]

Football easy. :)

[backin-strachan]

Just read the post by Zefrenchy. I go there all the time.Any chance of a discount as its a bit of a bump;).Well not all the time but whenevr I can. Do you play at any local courses???

[rydo-uk]

he siad he USED to work ther lol

[WACCOE]

Darts is an awesome Sport. I have been practising a lot lately, hoping to enter soem competitions soon locally, hope they let under-16's play again the men. :s

[AfroJoe]

I still refuse to accept darts as a sport, but I can't help watching when it's on TV. I used to play it when one of my mates had a dartboard as well, and I got pretty good. Obviously couldn't hit the doubles and trebles all that often, but I could work my way around the board pretty well.

Always meant to get myself a dartboard as well, but never got round to it.

[rydo-uk]

my granda used to be the best in scotland once then my gran found out he was having an afair then she smashed ALL of his trophys up including the scotish champion one lol which needed to get returnd lmao then he stoped playing :(

[mjmaskrey]

my granda used to be the best in scotland once then my gran found out he was having an afair then she smashed ALL of his trophys up including the scotish champion one lol which needed to get returnd lmao then he stoped playing :(

There's a lesson to be learned there..............................never let them find out!

:p

[backin-strachan]

Anyone see the young Dutch guy winning the cup.
I wasnt particularly paying attention but I started watching it and its pretty good.
I have a mini dart board but I might get a big one(Y)

[RiLu@]

i've played a lot darts before it's fun nice winter sport.

:o HOW DARE YOU! Darts is a Sport :p...when you really get into playing it you appriciate how much hard work and effort the Pro's must put in to getting that good. Also, its well competitive, how isn't it a Sport?

That's pretty gutting that!

Yeah, I saw the finale, the young Dutch guy was amazing...prefer the Darts on Sky Sports 1 tbh though.

[backin-strachan]

BTW If it was life or death it would be footy over golf as you much excitement watching and playing football and with golf you have much more time and your more relaxed but I like both anyway(Y)

[AfroJoe]

:o HOW DARE YOU! Darts is a Sport :p...when you really get into playing it you appriciate how much hard work and effort the Pro's must put in to getting that good. Also, its well competitive, how isn't it a Sport?
.

I view it as a pub game rather than a sport. Same with snooker. Competitiveness doesn't make it a sport. Loads of things aren't classed as sports despite being competitive. Videogaming, for example.

Not saying it's bad or anything, because as I said I find it quite enjoyable. I just can't get to grips with it being called a "sport", when it really isn't.

[WACCOE]

Yeah, I see what your saying...Don't really know what to say to it. :D.

So lets leave it at that. :p

[rydo-uk]

i broke a sweat last time i was playing darts lol and eh i also hit the wall :D

[smileemptysoul]

hunting and football o ya nad mudding. my truck got so much torque it can tear up roads. i ain't joking

[sharplayer]

Basketball and American Football

[PublicEnemy#1]

Football is well my sport. Ill pick over any other sport any day of the week

[smileemptysoul]

[PublicEnemy#1]

The Toffes (everton fc)

[WACCOE]

Tim Cahill, the white Pele, na na na. I saw my friend, the other day, he said he'd seen, the white Pele, Tim Cahill, the white Pele, na na na.

Can't get enough of that chant. :D

[Bravo]

Snooker is a sport in my opinion, but Pool is a pub-game!

:p

[kingping]

soccer!!! yeah

[smileemptysoul]

nascar is alot more than turning left. it is mind games with 50 other peaple at 200 mph, statagy, gambleing, and lossing 10 lbs. a race

[sharplayer]

Formula 1 is the best. It's like Trucks VS Ferraris, trucks being NASCAR and Ferrari being FORMULA 1. It's a huge difference. The crash impacts are also so more bigger than NASCAR.......You also get to see cars in FORMULA 1 going high speed in the streets and making dangerous turns, unlike NASCAR just driving in circles.


NOTE: THIS POST IS MY OPINION, AND MY OPINION ONLY

[WACCOE]

Forumla 1 started agian today didn't it! Anyone know who won?

[AfroJoe]

Nah, it was just the qualifying today, matey.

Race tomorrow at 11.30am. :)

[AK.]

football/soccer

[II AWESOME II]

Football and Squash

[bake15]

footy although i dont play anymore :(

[smileemptysoul]

wats squash

[AfroJoe]

Well, it's like tennis and badminton in that it's a raquet sport, but it doesn't have any nets or anything like that.

Players have to instead take turns hitting the ball off a wall, and the ball isn't allowed to bounce on the ground, or the player who fails to hit it loses a point.

So, yeah, it's just like badminton, but with two players on the same side of the court rather than there being two separate sides.

[Killer 57]

sounds like Racketball to me.

[AfroJoe]

Actually, yeah, that's pretty much exactly what it is. It's probably another one of those different words we have for similar things, like we were discussing in the other thread. :D

[Killer 57]

Whats next you guys call Soccer Football. Imagin that..

[AfroJoe]

Gah, it is football, as much as my favourite game series disagrees.

Soccer is just a gay word you came up with when you realised you'd stolen the name of our sport and needed to come up with something to replace it. :D

[Killer 57]

lol, it deosnt matter though very few people watch Soccer here anyway.

[AfroJoe]

Yup, yet you're still a fairly big team in terms of international footballing quality. Quite worrying, that.

About 5% of your population probably gives a crap about football, yet you give a beating to countries like mine, in which probably about 95% of people love the goddamn sport. :D

If America did start to follow "soccer" as much as its other sports, then you'd probably be on a par with Brazil within a few years. Easily.

[Killer 57]

Yeah I know what you mean. When the USA beat Mexico in the World Cup, my Uncle cried his lights out and so did a couple my Family members and Friends, I was pretty sad aswell,it was the Best Team we had in decades and it was suppose to be are year. Yet my Neighbor who is American didnt even know it happened.

[AfroJoe]

It's quite sad, that. The fact that in 2002, the US got to the quarter finals of the World Cup, and probably only about 20% of the population at most knew they'd achieved this.

I wonder if they'd sit up and take notice if your lot actually won the thing.

USA, that is. Not Mexico.

By the way, I'll be getting a Mexico top for the World Cup. They're my 2nd favourite team in the competition behind Paraguay, whose shirt I'll also be getting. :cool:

[Killer 57]

:cool: whooho Si se puede! or Yes we Can!........actualy get passed the Quarter Finals and not underachieve again! =/

[AfroJoe]

Yeah, I want to see Mexico doing well. They should get out of their group fine, because it's not too difficult. Then we'll see how they handle the knockout stages.

If I get a name on the back on my top it'd ideally be Blanco, but if he's not going then it'd either be Marquez or Borgetti.

[Killer 57]

Borgetti that guy is a scoring Machine!

[AfroJoe]

Yeah, he's playing over at Bolton in the English Premiership now. Doesn't get all that many games, actually, but he's scored a fair few when he has played.

I like Blanco, though, because he has a cool name, is usually number 10, and wants to fight people. :D

[Killer 57]

oh yeah, he holds a personal Vendetta against Trinidad & Tobego, that was the team Responsible for his Knee injury, everytime they play someone is going to leave in a strecher..

[AfroJoe]

He was going wild in the World Cup Qualifier against the USA in the Azteca back in August as well. The coach had to substitute him because if he didn't Blanco probably would have got himself sent off.

[backin-strachan]

Dont really rate the guy but USA are coming up in Football(SOCCER:@) Why do you guys not like it. Its the most exciting sport according to scientists and Europe are totally mad football.

[WACCOE]

Blanco is quality player! If you think about it, USA should really be the best "Soccer" team in the World, the size of their country. They have that many players to choose from, there must be some quality talent. I'll be keeping a close eye on them in this World Cup though, to see how my boy Eddie Lewis is doing. But yeah, I agree, it is pretty sad the USA doesn't follow Football, as they are pretty good at it.

[AK.]

footy, soccer, football, calcio

[Killer 57]

Soccer is not as exciting as Football.

[AfroJoe]

Blah, it's more exciting really, as there's always stuff happening. :P

I do like American Football a lot, though, so I'm not really going to spend a lot of time arguing against it. I'll leave that to the non-believers.

Consider me impartial. :D

[backin-strachan]

Well after research they came to the conclusion that football(soccer) is the most exciting sport around.!!!

Ill try and find the article.

[backin-strachan]

'Surprise' key to football appeal

The element of surprise elevates football above other sports
American football, basketball and baseball have millions of followers, but they can't match soccer for sheer excitement, says a team of scientists.
The reason is its element of surprise, claim researchers from Los Alamos National Laboratory in New Mexico, US.

Football is more likely to produce an unexpected result, such as a "giant killer" win in the FA Cup.

Scientists analysed results from more than 300,000 games played over the past century.

They reviewed five sports: ice hockey, American football, baseball and basketball in the US, and (Soccer)football.

The team decided to make unpredictability - how often a leading team is overcome by an opponent with a worse record - the best measure of how exciting a league is.

"If there are no upsets, then every game is predictable and hence boring," co-author Eli Ben-Naim told New Scientist magazine.

The results of the analysis showed that the "upset frequency" was highest for soccer, followed by baseball, hockey, and basketball. American football came last on the list, and so was labelled the least exciting sport.

But there was a twist in the tail.

When the scientists looked only at data from the past 10 years, English Premiership football and baseball swapped places.

One interpretation of the finding might be that soccer has become more predictable in recent years.

There we go!!!

[WACCOE]

Yup...I also am a big fan of American Football so im not going to argue religiously, but I certainly thing that Soccer is a country mile more excting. When they score in American Football the fan's don't even cheer. :brow

[Killer 57]

Thats a Joke, Element of Suprise last time I checked Brazil has won the World Cup Every ****ing time! and American Football has a lower upset rate because they only play 16 games, so each and every time the team must play there best. While in Baseball they play 162 Games so they don't really care if they lose one game to some cheap team. But the most Redicules part was this "American football came last on the list, and so was labelled the least exciting sport, since when does Upset frequency determine if a game is exciting or not.I cannot believe that article is real.

[Killer 57]

. When they score in American Football the fan's don't even cheer. :brow

errrrrrr, you've never been to a Football game have you? and of course they are going to cheer harder in Soccer because that is the first Goal in the game after 30 Min.

[Steve]

This is funny to watch. I guess it just an American thing to fall in love with football. It is the last true american sport. Just look down:

Basketball World Champs - Argentina
Baseball World Champs- Japan
Hockey World Champs- Sweden
Football World Champs - THERE ISNT EVEN A WORLD CUP! Muah Muah Muah Muah!

Surely you're just contradicting yourself there? :brow

Yes, you don't know when the 1st goal is going to come, it could just be a split second thing, where as in American Football you have a vague idea when the touchdown is going to be scored as it clearly when the Attacking team get closer to the End Zone...that's the whole element of suprise thing. Oh yeah, you might wanna be a bit more accurate in this statement...

Thats a Joke, Element of Suprise last time I checked Brazil has won the World Cup Every ****ing time!
FYI -
World Cup Winners
Year Winner
1930 Uruguay
1934 Italy

Everytime? Sniff sniff.

[Killer 57]

I was making a point,as in the win it most of the time. Yeah there is an Element of Suprise to a goal. I don't know why you said that football fans don't cheer, I mean the closes thing you have been to experincing a football game is Madden.

[backin-strachan]

Excitement right through 45 minutes to 90 minutes to a whole season. All the way through there is something going on. The game is played at a brisk pace. So whenever the game is stopped for 5 mins over an incident, its always contraversial.

Have a look at the goals thread and there you will see excitement

[WACCOE]

Yeah, sure it is...I don't have a TV with Sky Sports on it then?? I watch pratically most NFL matches that are put on Sky Sports so I don't see how playing the game virtually is closer than the box itself?

[smileemptysoul]

but what makes football the greatest sport is the love of the game. u can't match it. take ur gf away ur miss her and find someone ealse take football away and u go to the ground and beg god for murscy and for football back

[II AWESOME II]

Mine Football/Squash/Golf i carnt decide i like them all!!

[shark352]

gotta be football(soccer) no question
