The Offside Rule Explained For Women
 
The "offside rule" explained for women...

You're in a shoe shop, second in the queue for the till.
Behind the shop assistant on the till is a pair of shoes which you have seen and which you must have.
The female shopper in front of you has seen them also & is eyeing them with desire.
Both of you have forgotten your purses.
It would be rude to push in front of the first woman if you had no money to pay for the shoes.
The shop assistant remains at the till waiting.

Your friend is trying on another pair of shoes at the back of the shop and sees your dilemma. She prepares to throw her purse to you. If she does so, you can catch the purse, then walk round the other shopper and buy the shoes!

At a pinch she could throw the purse ahead of the other shopper and, "whilst it is in flight" you could nip around the other shopper, catch the purse and buy the shoes!

BUT, you must always remember that until the purse has "actually been thrown", it would be plain wrong to be in front of the other shopper!

NOW DO YOU GET IT?!!

:cool:

I'm a bloke. I fully understand the off-side rule. What I don't get is why anyone could get any enjoyment from a game that's played by wankers and (largely) supported by tools.

Just my opinion mind. I'm a Five-Live listener, honest.

:D

I couldn't agree with you more.

What really gets up my nose, is the wankers earn massive salaries as well. :mad:

and the tools pay a fortune to watch the wankers. :confused:

OK then, explain to me why you would be in a queue for the till if you've no purse in the first place? Wouldn't you be with your friend who is trying on shoes, offering your opinion? :p

Something a teacher told me hundreds of years ago at school:

The weaker sex is the stronger sex
because of the weakness of the stronger sex
for the weaker sex :D

Indeed. I can't believe how everytime the ball goes out,everyone says "mine" like they honestly belive the ball is theirs. Last time, I checked, if you kicked the ball out, then the ball is the opposition's.

Even worse is the way they talk to the referees. In rugby union, and league, on a decision, generally the captain will approach the ref and ask for an explanation. I'd give the poofterball lot the red card the moment they stepped out of line with their mass hysterics. In rugby union, you talkback, you get 10 metres.

Poofterball players are like children in many ways. It ruins a perfectly good sport, otherwise 'beautiful'. Quite unwatchable. Apart form World Cups where there is a bit of novelty.
:D

:D

The sad thing is that the antics of players like Wayne Rooney, reacting badly to referees decisions, is witnessed by the nation's youngsters who idolise these dickheads, who see them as role models.
