i never use shinpads as they make my legs itch but when i play i usually defend but sometimes i go upfront but not usually. i see no pro footballers wear shinpads or is it the fact that them massive soks cover them up
American Football (Gridiron)
What the rest of the world calls football (soccer)

It is part of the rules and regulations of F.A governed football. You must wear shin pads. Every pro wears shin pads, you are not allowed on the pitch without them.
meh maybe thats what the socks are for o cover them up so ya dont look like a pillock.

rugby and football spawned from the same game in fact rugbys full title is "rugby football".
Anyway i was watching the supernbowl last night maybe it was the lack of sleep or the paul mccartney effect but i enjoyed it. Still not a good as game as Football or Rugby but better than bowls. Also the cheerleaders were a welcome bonus.
Your sig is too hilarious and witty, thus i have removed it to protect the minds of all forum goers

Football was the predecessor but i dont understand rugby much

I was talking in general. Compared to other sports the refs are the worse. Not other basketball leagues. Its a very tough game to call no doubt but they still make too many bad calls. With football they implemented reviews to cut down on that. The other sports are pretty cut and dry when it comes to the calls and there isn't a lot of interperation.Originally Posted by Raistlin
That is what I meant.
Football definitely isn't "cut and dry" when it comes to refereeing decisions. I can't think of the last time a ref had a mistake free game. But personally I think that adds to the enjoyment of the game and gives fans something else to talk about.
I like American football better, even though it would make more sense for soccer to be called football. Soccer just bores the mess out of me to watch, and I hate playing it too. I'm not a huge fan of pro football; I actually like college ball better, but it definitely is leaps and bounds more entertaining than soccer.
Of course, baseball pwns all sports, so nyah.
Yeah, and you're right, but basketball is probably the toughest sport to ref. It's extremely fast-paced in a very very tight court. With soccer, it's much more spread out and penalties are more or less exclusively on the ball. In football, you have about 3457495874 refs keeping an eye all over the bloody place. In baskteball, you have three refs that have to keep an eye on about a million or so different things. Very tough, no doubt.
There's four refs in football. Just becuase most fouls occur on the ball that's not to say there isn't a hundred other things to watch out for. Offside for example. Probably the hardest rule to referee in any sport, anywhere, especially since FIFA's new ruling, which confuses it even more.
Football is not an easy game to officiate. Controversial maybe, but I actually believe that Basketball and Football have a lot in common. Certainly more in common than Football and American Football.
No doubt its the toughest sport to call. How many other sports do you have to decide if the player is faking to draw the foul? Sure in other sports it happens but in basketball it constantly happens. Due to the pace of the game they can't really review plays because then it slows the game down. They do the best job they possibly can but there isn't going to be perfect refing in that sport until robots take over.
Basketball is too easy and simple. with Football theres many rules and hard techniques eg hammer kick. the strangest rule in the whole of football is you get fouled for taking off your shirt after scoring and over celebrating
