Things We Hate...Or at least Dislike VERY MUCH!! (Page 7 of 11)

certainly is!!
Nevr played it but I have watched and thought Ouch, people think rugby is rough? no seen what pain is till you see these stick fly,lol

I read about shinty a few months ago up in newtonmore. It was brought to scotland by n irish priest that fell out with other hurling players in ireland, and he changed the rules slightly the way he wanted them to be and so shinty started in scotland.
Thats all I can remember from a big story that is on the wall in the village museum in Newtonmore. Great museum it is too, it is an outdoor one wit hold houses the way they lived in the 1700's and an old school from early 1900's and more things that I canny remember and now I am babbling,lol

Baseball superior to cricket ??? I went to a major league game once when I was visiting with our Airforce. I love cricket and play every summer and I can see how people can say its slow , but that baseball game was 10 time worse than any cricket match and that stupid music between eeeeevery bit of play. Oh boy. Still- I do like baseball though

Alvee,
i do watch soccer, as some of my family do play! One even played for Arsenal!
at one time!  One still plays for one of our top teams here at the moment.  He is The best goal Scorer of a dead ball ive ever seen. He is magic to watch.... But i still prefer "Hurling". Bring on the Ash!!

Baseball, soccer, and golf.... fun to play, boring to watch

I quite like golf, but playing it, athough not played for years. Watching it is another story.

I love snooker, playing and watching even though it takes ages and makes me sleep.

I despise cricket, I got a gold medal in 2nd year in high school for this so called sport and I never hit the ball once,lol. I had one game then I went on holiday and the team ended up winning,lol.
So, there Ido hate something, even tough hate is a strong word, I go one furthr and say I despise it.

football ( the real meaning of the name ) is skillfuland excellent, if there are no goals then one team or both teams defended good enough, or the goalie in the teams are super, that is why sometimes there is no goals.

O, I hate the spice girls ( not each one personally, just theband and the music) I hate near enough all manufactured bands, but wats more... I hate the idea of a manufactured band.
and pop idol and anything like that

ive never seen cricket...but it has to be better than soccer. I heard its simalir  to baseball.

Cricket eating contest?

Thats very funny......

Last years winner ate 2563 crickets in 5mins 32 secs. This year he is looking to break the record by 15 crickets or 7 secs. Unfortunatly his trainning season was cut shot as he had to move because the neighbors were complaining about all the birds in the area.

Nary a 100mph fastball to be seen in that there game.

Randy Johnson would freak out your cricket dudes.  Scare 'em right off the pitch!  (It's called a pitch, right?)

That's one of the reasons why catchers wear so much gear.  Pitchers *do* one hop the ball on occasion, and the results are sometimes unpredictable.

Well, that, and Bary Bonds swinging a 48 ounce bat real close to your head....

Hi Ark,
