Off Topic Other Sports - Thread

Aside from football, darts, bowls and boxing, I can't be doing with any other sports.

And I love Sky. It's great.

 

To answer in full, i actually love Rugby League (not union), NFL and Tennis. I watch all these, as well as attracted to boxing/mma, just cannot help it.

With Darts, i have just started following it the last year. They show the major tourneys on Cable Tv here, so i just gave it a crack and love it. The strategy and speed at which they must calculate and make decisions is awesome to watch, and the precision is phenomenal. I have found myself up as late as i can be watching Charlton !
I am also planning to buy a dart board for at home, start my journey to take on Van Gerwen himself !

 

I used to play a lot of darts, played in a pub league, the matches were a terrific night, shame you don't get it payed so much in pubs. You could go into most pubs, put you name on the board and get a friendly game. Not so sure about it as a spectator sport, although I loved Syd Waddell.

 

Been trying to learn darts in the bird in FH but not going too well. Can't watch it though - find it boring.

 

The final last night was far from boring, Anderson played brilliantly and was still thrashed 7-3. Tennis, golf, cricket and f1 are my main other sports, looking forward to the Aussie Open in a few weeks

 

F1 isn't a sport

 

What do you consider Curling to be?

 

A game.

 

at uni, the students are mainly from overseas.

out on the lawns i have witnessed them play kabaddi. once they start, i cant take my eyes off it.

not entirely sure you would call it following it... but it's "different" lol

 

Is that like haki? Or whatever that small ball thingy game they play.

 

Youtube is your friend....

 

F1 is great however you want to define it. Pro kabaddi is the most bizarre thing I've ever seen

 

Another great game of Ice Hockey last night, unfortunately Maple Leafs lost it in Overtime.

NEED COFFEE NOW!

 

cant agree more. F1 is brilliant.

kabaddi just looks like males dry humping... it's f'ing weird.

 

Women's darts

 

Only just caught up with last weekends boxing - James DeGale. Wow!

He's never endeared himself to me before, but after that fight, my opinion has changed. Showed a ton of heart and courage, which I thought held him back previously. Seems humbled by his post match activity too.

Respect.

 

If he hadn't gone down in the last he would have won easily.

 

I knew the result unfortunately so was of the mindset throughout it looked like playing out as a draw - but that knockdown was brutal. Opening rounds he boxed beautifully, but that will be forgotten.

 

Another win for the Maple Leafs. Good times to be a NHL Fan. Great games been happening this season. Lets hope that like the NFL they do a game here.

 

If anyone follows the NFL - my friend is doing a big superbowl party at his bar in bexleyheath on the night. Sure i can sweeten the deal should you wish to go.
