Hi guys

[Tarquin]

I have been enjoying the world cup, but I am not 100% certain about the onside rule. Could someone explain it for me. I am going to the pub with my friends to watch Spain and Portugal tomorrow you know how it is have a few beverlys with the lads. A clear explanation would be much appreciated as I don't want to appear stupid.

just shout when everyone else does..

[Tarquin]

shout what cazzz1975?

[Captin Kirk]

if all the team are facing the same direction then that's ok ...

I think it's the offside rule btw

[cazzz1975]

whatever anyone else shouts, point, swear. turn red.

find someone sober to mimic

[Tarquin]

Goodness I can''t swear.

Wind up alert...

[dr b]

A player is offside if he is behind (closer to the goal than) the last defender, when a pass to him is struck. There may be some subtleties but that's the gist of it.

[Tarquin]

Thank you dr b but that is very complicated. I think I will take cazzz1975s advice and shout when everone else does.

[Tarquin]

Why is it a wind up?
I am a manly type of man who likes football and rugby.

[bigfoot3000]

Tarquin Liking football and rugby doesn't define anyone as a manly man. A manly man should be able to enjoy like ballet and man makeup whilst still hanging on to his Alpha maleness!

[Tarquin]

I don't wear make up , who said I wear make up?

[Woody23]

Your name is that of splendid make-up

[bigfoot3000]

Certainly not me tarquin, but I'm pretty sure someone may have implied that in the thread about you wanting high heeled womens shoes though I could be wrong.

[Tarquin]

I have to go there is someone at the door.

Pizza?
