Idiot

very funny. you've obviously never travelled from Hong Kong to Dubai, to California and then back to Asia again. It's not the "sitting on a plane", it's the time zones, the jet lag, the lack of sleep. It is a well known fact that if you're fitter, you can recover from jet lag quicker.

My dog is about to die. Got heart failure and is coughing all the time cuz she has fluid building up around her heart and lungs. How do you know when it's 'time'?

What did Jesper say?

Firstly, footballers do half a day's work and then relax all afternoon. Golfers are at it ALL DAY. Footballers have to run around a lot, but golfers have to travel to a different part of the world every week, going through different time zones....if you've travelled extensively you'd know that's not easy - being fit makes it easier. Footballers very rarely play in 40 degrees heat with humidity on top of that....you see some heat in the world cup sometimes, and you see how the players struggle. Then they get 2 or 3 days off. Golfers play 6 days in a row, including practice days, then they jet off and play another 6 days in a row, in extreme heat on occasion. You're looking at it in a very simple way...golfers walk, footballers run. How intellectual.

The original post that caused this debate was comparing a golfer playing professional football, against a footballer playing "just a round of golf". Which was why it was a **** comparison, and I was making a more equal comparison. Use your ****ing brain and look back at the original post that caused this debate and you'd see that, dumb ass.

It would be a signal of intent if we managed to prize one of the top teams' top players away. Maybe not a Beckford, but someone similar.

Golfers have to be fit, because they have to keep their minds fresh for up to 6 hours during a tournament round of golf, sometimes they play in extreme heat, they travel all over the world - much more than a footballer does - they play 6 days a week (including the practice days) plus they have to practice in between. You have no idea what you're talking about.

I'm not saying he does, but he could manage to play 90 minutes in a sunday league game, which is about as high a standard as a pro footballer could compete in comparison to a Lee Westwood

You made a ridiculous comparison of the two sports by comparing athletic ability....which is a completely irrelevant point....stop skating round it.

You're a kid.

No, I was making the comparison that the standard a footballer could compete at golf would be the same standard a golfer could compete at football. Both ****. Athletic ability has nothing to do with it. By the way, Tiger Woods was a long distance runner in college, Ernie Els could have been a professional tennis player....so you don't really know what you're talking about

Well you would, cuz you're a kid.

You're making the most ridiculous and pointless comparison between two sports you could ever imagine. All sports have different needs in terms of physical attributes. What does it matter that a footballer can run for longer?! Are you only an athlete if you can do endurance running?!

You AREN'T FUNNY. I know you think you are, but you're not.

well what a goon for taking any sort of time at all to do that. sort your life out.

here's you!!

guess who searched in google images for guy at computer with golf clubs. Aren't you a funny ****er.

That's not a serious question...

Yeah hand outs. Tax payers money. Golfers EARN their money.

John Daly is the exception to the rule. I'm not saying that. You're saying a golfer couldn't play against Millwall.....well could a Saints player play against Lee Westwood? No. The footballer would chop the ball around and be nowhere close to competing with the pro golfer, just as the golfer would jog around and not be able to compete with the football team. God some of you are so ****ing THICK!

Another out dated, inaccurate, self opinionated load of codswallop. Every top golfer is an athlete. You have to be. You don't play golf, so you don't understand. You have your petty views, and they are WRONG. Tiger spends up to EIGHT HOURS A DAY in the gym when he's not at a tournament. He trains and practices as hard as an Olympic athlete. Just because he plays golf, doesn't mean he doesn't. Because I know for a fact he does. Every other golfer has to try and bridge the gap to him, so they all work hard at their fitness too, because that is one of the main things he has over everyone else. Golf is nothing like snooker. The golf swing is a very athletic, body taxing movement. That is why golfers sustain all sorts of injuries....it's a fast movement, it's an unnatural movement, and you have to be very strong and flexible to be able to hit the ball far enough to be able to compete, and also prevent getting injured.

A professional golfer could compete physically at the same level of football as a footballer could compete at golf. And if you want to be GOOD, you do have to be an athlete at golf these days.

No I didn't. He said George Best could show up drunk and play golf, whereas a drunk golfer couldn't show up and play professional football. Well George Best couldn't show up and play professional golf....so it's not a sensible comparison at all.

And George couldn't compete at professional golf either. You can't compare a pro footballer playing **** level golf with a pro golfer playing pro football. A pro golfer could play drunk at the same level of football as a drunk footballer could play golf. Both ****. a drunk golfer could show up and play sunday league football. George Best showing up drunk would only be able to play 'sunday league golf'.
