    And here I thought that this was going to be another thread about frogs and potatoe cannons --- well, I guess you could say it was about a frog and his cannon!!

    Imagine what would have happened had he bit someone's dick in celebration.

    Even if he just bit his own, I think he would've offended the moral standards of the Turkish people.

    I think farting in public offends the moral standards of Turkish people.

    Is that a sharpie in your pocket or are you just happy you scored a goal?

    The Turkish people have moral standards?

    Who knew?

    (Notice the team involved is Besiktas - the same team Keller stiffed at the last minute to go to Spurs. Stiffed. STIFFED. Get it? Ya see...oh, nevermind)

    Hey Andy:

    Do we have to change our ENTIRE vocabulary to conform with British useage, or just those pesky "footie" terms?

    I know I'll have trouble with "lift" and "bonnet" but I can probably deal with "bangers"

    Let me know.

    Signed,

    Curious

    I'm not the expert on British vocabulary ;) Maybe Splarg could help here.

    Do you think that goal celebration will impress the women in my coed soccer rec league - as long as they're not Turkish?

    That might offend their standards but Turks murdering two supporters of an opposing club is OK.

    wonder how he'd get along in KC?

    wonder who'd notice in LA?

    wonder who'd help him in SJ?

    Boston's been so cold...could he find it?

    Would some Ultra would want to compare in Chi?

    Would DC would think it merely...cultural ?

    Would NJ would consider it simply...defensive?

    would it have a V-Army tatoo in C-bus?

    Isn't "pitch" just what they say instead of "field?" If so, then if you say "football pitch" you should also be saying "baseball pitch" and whatever else.

    Would this have been a better headline:
    What NOT to do on the pitch

    Notice that we have different sports terms for the different playing surfaces. For example, there are:

    Baseball Diamond
    Football Field (okay, that one doesn't help show my point)
    Hockey Ice Rink
    Basketball Court
    Ping Pong Table

    Is it so wrong to use these descriptors instead of the more generic term 'field'? In conclusion, I'm just happy that no one has talked about climbing the ladder!

    "It was not against anyone. It was just a private sign of joy"
