hk blues Posted June 27 Posted June 27 Back to the topic - I have started to watch the series on Netflix. Pretty poor fare to be honest and very little to keep me entertained other than the obvious . I find the management team so far out of touch with the modern world it's comical in itself. And the nepotism is also clear with a significant number of the 'team' have mothers who were also on the team - in addition the current group includes a candidate whose sister was on the team the previous years. Given the competitiveness of getting a place it seems highly unlikely that this would occur naturally. That said, we see the same in football/soccer with sons of famous players getting their chance - not surprisingly very few actually make the grade. Poor program but great viewing!

I guess you have never watched American/Canadian football? Different game, same name... Gee, that looks similar to a rugby football to me? Edited June 27 by Tommy T.

Given us Brits invented rugby league, rugby union and football (soccer if you like) I reckon we can claim some right to call them as they were intended.

Maybe a basketball or hockey game as a tie breaker? We'd need to use Netball and maybe Shinty with no adverts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joey G Posted June 27 Posted June 27 Used to watch Australian Rules Football (?) back in 90's... I think it was on ESPN in the USA early in the morning... guess it's different than rugby... but looked pretty crazy to me. But if you want to get the wife's attention... forget the DCC... turn on women's beach volley ball... puts the DCC's dancing around to shame. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
