Stuff football... Beach Volleyball should be our new National game.

[Fab Foodie]

It's just occured to me whilst watching the highlights of the Olympic womens Beach Volleyball on iPlayer, that there must be something homo-erotic about football and football fans. Bear with me on this... Why should bazillions of blokes spend their saturdays watching other blokes running around in shorts when they could support the sport of Beach Volleyball and spend their afternoons watching fit ladies in skimpies? Makes you wonder?
Imagine...











Grimsby town vs Macclesfield live from Cleethorpes in December....

Football is the only thing that separates men from woman. The offside rule!
It wouldn't be the same meeting the guys pre match.
A friend's wife told me recently that she used to think games lasted eleven hours.

But the biggest argument against Beach Volleyball is the thought of 50,000 men wearing replica kit.
:-(

It would Waaaay be better meeting the guys pre-match, do you honestly prefer footie banter to discussing tottie in skimpies?

Footie kit worn by most blokes looks bleedin awfull as it is, so them wearing beach vollyball kit ain't gonna be much worse.

Watching the teams swap tops after the match would be much more fun...

btw, who gives a toss about the offside rule?

Hey Maz, go to iplayer Olympics and watch the Russia vs. Georgia game... fantastic sport, especially considering the political situation.

You raise some interesting points but the thought of a Jimmy Five Bellys lookalike in skimpies is turning my stomach .

I'm sure the Guardian asked the photgrapher to capture the mood between Georgia and Russia in this match.

Didn't he do well?

Thanks for that surfgurl... Sure Maz will enjoy.

The only person I ever met who could properly and clearly explain the off side rule was a woman. Even the footie players I've known weren't able to properly and clearly explain it even though they knew what it was. Then again, I don't have enough interest to meet many footie players.

Point taken.

And here is President George W. Bush having a few beers and appreciating the beach volleyball.

I didn't say who understood it.
Men use it to explain why their team was robbed or how the powers that be are ruining a once great game by meddling.
Well that and the overpaid bunch of prima donnas that seem capable of tripping over a blade of grass!

Hmmm Beach Volleyball is looking (excuse the pun) better all the time.

Being President seems to have fringe benefits...

Free tickets
Free player grope
Taxpayer funded 'best mates' to get you home when you're rat-arsed.

Tell ypour mates... the revolution starts here!

You have my vote.

"Snatch of the Day" I like it!! It's catchy and easy to remember.

"Match of the Dames" is not as interesting, but reflects the sex (easy tiger!) of the players too

"Match of the Duuuuuuude, look at the t*ts on her!!!!" may be one to appeal to the normal footie thugs fans
