What do you guys play. I'm not that big on watching sports, always preferred to play. I used to do field athletics (throwing things) but let it slide when I finished school. Cricket is a great game for drinking because nobody really notices if you disappear to the bar for a few minutes.
Mostly I play field hockey. It is a love hate relationship where I occasionally think I'm good when really I'm fat, wheezy and have terrible hand eye coordination. Took a year out and found life unbearable so had to start again. Funny how sports are like that. It is also one of the best excuses for gettting drunk; we win; we lose; get injured; play well; start season; middle season; end of season; all great excuses fully exploited

Re: Playing Sports
Not really a sport but I play as much paintball as I can. I just love it. Adrenalin rush like nothing else I've played. Basically stopped hunting animals once I started hunting something that was hunting me back, people.

Re: Playing Sports
Basketball, soccer but only in pickup games, no club level and no weekly practice sessions. And it takes decades for me showing up at the playground again. Most often people ask me to come play on the weekends, silly idiots, on weekends I play professional drinking!
You never loose your technical abilitys, it`s like cycling but the running and jumping starts to hurt. You have to slightly morph into one of the wiser old guys and use your wasteline as a weapon.
Field hockey is too long ago, I might be still able to goal keep. I also might be able to play tennis, but that is just too gay to try again I think (and expensive, cause you need club membership, proper clothing etc). I once could swin farely well, but today I only take dives into bars.

I think paintball is a sport, keeps you out of the house

Re: Playing Sports
Much as I want to go ice-fishing with Smatter, Suttreal and/or (duck or buck) hunting with Patchez; what I would really love to do is play (or, at the very least have the ability to to play) roof-top hockey with Mr. Viking...

Re: Playing Sports
I've recently started playing 5-a-side football (or soccer) again after a 18-month sabbatical. I'm really unfit, but I control the ball and pass well enough. Tends to be fun. Plus, it's always an excuse to have a drink afterwards...
As a teenager, I was decent enough at tennis, but that stopped dead when I discovered beer.

Re: Playing Sports
In modern soccer the posistion of "libero" died sadly. Freaking 4 chain killed it, or defending in the "room". But it was always nice directing traffic when you know were everyone else has to be at on the field.Shane-O-Matic wrote:I've recently started playing 5-a-side football (or soccer) again after a 18-month sabbatical.

I think I have shouted "OUT" more often than anything else in my life.
Sweeper is still played at the lowest levels of soccer leagues. Occupied by hard drinkers and smokers without any stamnia left. In your short field the goalkeeper mostly takes this spot and me, also a former field-hockey goalie, know how to manage this aswell. But the damn stamnia, couch couch...

Re: Playing Sports
Funny, I am our stand in sweeper when the older fatter guys can't make it. Usually I'm seen tearing up the right wing from defence (lumbering up the right wing from defence then wheezing back after we've lost the ball)oettinger wrote:Sweeper is still played at the lowest levels of soccer leagues.
