What sports other than soccerball are you into?

[Turkish]

Always liked combat sports. Trained in boxing for 4 years in my late teens and early 20s more because of the firnessa aspect which is incredible. Anyone that says boxing is barbaric and isn't a skill clearly has never set foot inside a boxing gym. Now I do Krav Maga which is a fantastic fighting technique and doesn't require a particularly high level of fitness.

I love cricket and also a fan of golf but to be honest anything else is w*nk. I've tried to like tennis, rugby and badminton But find the people that play those sports pretentious arseh*les. Motor sports is full of geeks cracking on out over the new engines in this year McClaren, who cares FFS? All American sports are sh*te, a few blokes at work love the NFl and baseball, but they ate generally a bit wierd so Again w*nk sports watched by helmets and English blokes that wish they were Yanks.

So is their life away from soccerball? What do people that don't like football do on a Saturday?

Go to Fratton Park ?

My other great love is Speedway. I grew up watching Southampton Saints who were one of the best teams around at the time. Love watching it on Sky, especially the GP series and always go to the British GP at the Millenium Stadium.

Addicted to Formula 1. Nigel Mansell, Damon Hill, Jenson Button, the three drivers I have followed since I was little, all following on one from another as a key Brit, yet my favourite team was always Minardi, HRT have now taken that particular mantle. Lost a little interest in the Schumacher years but since his retirement really have got back into it.

Used to play Badminton, captained the 6th form team. Now into long distance road running.

Football is pretty much the all encompassing thing. Used to coach as well as watch it, now the class I taught has grown up I've decided to take a break from being hands on.

The irony eh Turkish? x

Will watch the Open and the Masters, but otherwise golf has very little appeal for me, tennis is a major no-no, and F1 is not as essential as it used to be, ( probably due to half the races not being live on terrestrial TV ). I am, however, enjoying having so much cycling available to watch, both road and track racing.

[The9]

I like watching NFL a bit, a bit of NHL, dip in and out of F1, and that's about it really.

[Patrick Bateman]

Have done many sports - played American Football properly for a couple of years (was a running back), played tennis, did Taekwondo for about 6 years (Hi Pilchards!), did Judo, did some boxing and I really enjoyed cycling!

Love watching Rugby (Union and League) as well as football and with what little time I have now, have just regained my passion weights and for combat sports as well again!

The "sport" I love watching most on TV is, bizarrely, Snooker - absolutely love it. I grew up with a snooker table, was never brilliant at it and I just love watching people who are actually very bloody good at it!

I'm not surprised.

I don't follow fashions Colin. I have a style and class of my own and no it doesn't include wearing soccerball shirts down the local.

Jolly good.

And apart from anything else any man that plays a game which involves playing with a cock is suspect.

Well, if you are that nervous about your own inclination that you would stay away from a rubberised polymer 'cock.....'

Unless you prefer feathers of course.

UFC, NFL and Tennis are all big interests of mine. Formula 1 occasionally grabs my attention but not so much the last couple of years.
I appreciate Golf and enjoy playing it once in a while but could never sit down and watch it.

[Ziggy]

I have a season ticket at Cardiff Blues rugby (as well as a ST at Saints) and love the game.

[Kingsland Codger]

Were funds never to be an obstacle, I would gladly travel the world to wherever Test cricket was being played. South Africa v Pakistan, New Zealand v West Indies, India v Australia .. wherever. For variety, I would so the same for International rugby union.

[Dibden Purlieu Saint]

Massively into the NFL, golf, cricket and F1. Also very much enjoy Rugby Union amd the NHL.

Have to say the only other sport I watch to rival football is American Football for me.

[Thedelldays]

UFC is pretty good.... And excellent when watching live

How is the MMA going?

[Thedelldays]

Muay Thai...

Yeah good.... Go at least twice a week... Sometime 3 times

Amazing after what... A month, how much fitter you feel.. Like I said I thought I was pretty fit anyway... No issues with a game a football.. A gym session... 4-5 mile run.... But nope.. This is a whole new game. I come away from each session hammered

I only watched one Rugby League game before moving to Oz, now I love it! There is a lot of skill as well as immense physicality. I have watched NFL and Baseball once or twice, but can't get into them, if I lived in the States, maybe I would. Strangely, I like listening to Tennis and cricket on the radio, with good commentators, more than watching it - but if the taters start chatting amongst themselves without report on the action, I get really ****ed off.
