Football crazy, football mad!!

[Ally]

Just out of curiosity Os..do you support one of the Midland's teams?
:

Nope, Ally, I'm a "hopper" - a fan with no particular allegiance who visits different clubs and grounds, primarily non-league. There's even a dedicated internet forum for it, currently with 4,308 registered users, so you'll no doubt conclude there's a lot of strange people in the world ....

I used to be a Birmingham City fan back when I wuz a kid, and I was for some years a Vice-President of Pontypridd RUFC (not as highfalutin' as it sounds, it merely means "season ticket holder") but I haven't supported a specific club for many years now.

So 'hoppy' Os it is then.

Just so I'm clear, when you say football, are you talking about the game with the round ball or the egg shaped one.

[Kaz]

LOL They mean the round one - we call the egg-shaped one rugby!

I watch both codes, Weka - in fact I was at a rugby union match on Saturday and a soccer match on Sunday!

Never seen the All-Blacks play live, but I did once see Tonga! They performed their version of the Haka ..

[Weka]

I thought so. We call rugby football, and the other soccer, Sydney where I've also lived football is league, so I get a bit confused at times

I've don't think I've seen the all blacks, but I'll have to have a think...

[JoM]

Very confusing isn't it...shall we throw rugby league and rugby union into the mix, just to muddy the waters a bit more?
