I love a great soccer match but everything goes down the toilet once this panzy shytt starts happening. I would say soccer should be for the ladies only but even woman cant fake it like these guy's. Im still talking soccer here ok ;). Ladies play rugby for crying out loud!.

Female rugby players are some of the scariest people on the planet. They are ferociously tough.

Yet it remains by far the most watched sport. 65 million watched the Super Bowl last year.
More than 3 billion are watching the World Cup..

Well nearly 2 billion people around the world live in abject poverty. A big number doesn't necessarily mean it's a good thing, it just means there's a lot of people involved. Besides, that number could be 3 billion and one if they'd just can the theatrics (speaking of which, we have our own theatrical issues in football right now, so nobody's perfect:rollno:).
:DJust give me a bass to play, a car to drive or a gun to shoot and I'm as happy as a pig in slop. :thumbsup:

If you're looking for a really sweet sounding AE bass look no further than La Bella Black Tapewounds. It's probably about as close as you can get to an upright sound with a strap-on fretted bass. If you get the regular gauge set the strings will likely be too big for the nut grooves as well as the bridge peg holes. Go with a light gauge set and they should fit without modification. Happy NBD!

I'm after a very bright poppy sound not so much an upright sound, nut issues aren't a problem I can fix those wither with a new bone one of bicarb and superglue. Currently the strings on it look quite light and the nut is still good so I may get lucky :)

LOL - I'm sure I'll take a ration of poop for this but that youtube clip encapsulates everything I detest about Soccer. Biggest bunch of high paid pansey ass drama queens in professional sports. Yes, it's a rough and tumble endurance sport with occasional legit and painful contact, but the "throw me a flag" drama queens have completely ruined the credibility of the game. Might be interesting if the refs reviewed "injury" replays after the game and required those obviously faking an injury to wear a tootoo in the next match. That way at least the fans would know who to laugh at when they're flopping around on the ground.

Actually, if I were head of the rules committee I'd implement a new rule - if your ass is hit so hard you feel the need to roll around on the ground looking for attention then they should (in the name of player safety) remove you from the game with no substitution for a minimum of 10 minutes and then allow you to return once the sideline doctor has released you to play again. That would change the entire dynamic (and strategy) of the game. Of course it'll eventually evolve into something nearly as rough as Rugby, but at least they'd be paid good bucks to fix all those injuries and the fans would actually get to see some blood with all those alligator tears. JMHO

Just like modern bass players, ooooh that bass is too heavy :roflmao:

I think they should play those or the appropriate bits at the beginning of every televised match to shame the culprits every time their team play. I couldn't show my face in public again if I was caught doing something like that. I really am showing my age I think :(

Love all the music posts... just haven't had the stupid time to sit and enjoy any of them! Dammit. Living for work lately. Like living backwards.

Picking the hell out of my bass though. Gonna get one of them pick-slits for my mic stand. Also that's the name of my new side project when I get time to do one: The Pick Slits...

Rugby girls. Nice!

Not one of these fine rugby playing women was obviously/visibly hurt during this game. I could feel their pain from my side of the computer screen though.....wow!.

I played rugby for a few years. The roughest game I ever played in was in the army; we played an English v French game. Several players on both teams ended up spending the night in the hospital. One player was airlifted from the field for a broken sternum.
