Do you need USD forks and any engine mods allowed?

[Fatt Max]

Well done sir.

A couple of additional points....

- Putting a ball over the bar in football is worth fuck all
- The offside rule in football is simple
- Rules generally in football are simple and not changed every 6 months to justify the existance of the governing bodies
- Football refs take responsibility for their decisions and dont rely on the 'Third Ref' cop out
- The majority of footballers have tatoos that are spelt right

An injury in rugby is a lot worse than an injury in football so don't be too worried when "Whilemina Rooney" falls over and cries.

Yea I think so, it seems like male models have invented a safer rugby of sorts. Then the hand models got in on it but were complaining that they were hurting their hands so that was banned!? Stupid models, shit just went downhill from there really.

Now you can't even take your shirt off without getting sent off, something about insecurity!

And at Leeds Untied, noobs get pulled off at half time.

Yes one where you kick a ball with your feet, one which involves skill & tactics rather than just brawn & one where you dont have to shove your head up another mans arse.

Indeed it does require skill and tactics, two years at drama school ensures the best of these qualities are on display in every game.

And here I thought it was a bunch of overpaid actors running around hamming it up for corrupt officals. Sheesh. How wrong could I be. That other game you speak of... Rugby is it?... Again... Not a proper sport.
