[Virago]

A recent study found that 30% of the population are good at maths, 40% are mediocre, and the remaining 47.2% are absolutely crap at maths...

If you're in front of the ball and the only opponent in front of you is the Goalie, you're offsides.

So you're tapping the ball up to the goal, the only person in front of you is the opposition goalie, and you step in front of the ball, are you then off-side?

Interestingly, the only sport where this doesn't apply is rugby. The commentator will never, ever utter this phrase during a rugby match but the percentages of people understanding the laws are as follows:

Officals: 66.6%
Players: 37.5%
Commentators:25%
Viewers / spectators: 12%
NZRFU officals: 5% (rises to 30% if your reference point is the laws of 1934)

Sure. How about that time when Peter Willey was bowling to Michael Holding...

Brian Johnston probably still dines out on that one -

"The batsman's Holding, the bowler's Willey..."

:pinch:

or any of a million times Murray Mexted is commentating.

My favourite cricket blooper:

Yorkshire 232, Hutton ill...I'm sorry, Hutton 111.

Not quite a blooper, but maybe the funniest comeback to Australian sledging in the history of comebacks to Australian sledging:

Aussie paceman Glenn McGrath was bowling to Zimbabwe number 11 Eddo Brandes - who was unable to get his bat anywhere near the ball. McGrath, frustrated that Brandes was still at the crease, wandered up during one particular over and inquired: " Why are you so fat?"
Quick as a flash, Brandes replied: "Because every time I fuck your wife, she gives me a chocolate biscuit ."
Even the Aussie slip fielders were in hysterics.

That is an absolute masterpiece. If there's a Cricket Hall of Fame, or something similar, Mr Brandes should be in it just for that.

98.3% of kiwibiker members spend all day talking up thier riding all day, in reality they are shit riders because they are on the net too much making up that they are a good rider.

it's a vicious cycle.
