What's this nonsense of stuffing the trousers with straw? That's why there's a loss of interest. Any good shin kicking event should be bare legs only.

That annual event is attended by a squadron of ambulances because the question isn't whether somebody will need to be taken to a hospital, but how many will. :lol:

Straw legged shin kicking? Sport? Do you guy not have any type of ball over there?

That's rather rich coming from a nation that will only play football whilst wearing a helmet and full suit of body armour :crazy:
"Do you guy not have any type of ball over there?"
Yes we do, it's called a cricket ball. Cricket being a mans version of the girl's game called rounders or baseball in America :puffy:

I bet concussions have nothing to do with that. So our Gladiators wear more armor than the Romans, at least our empire isn't crumbling....
Cricket is more boring than baseball, would rather watch QPR.
