Miguel Sanchez Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 Nothing worse than a whinger who whinges about people whinging.* *There are many things that are worse. Like stealing from a shop, for instance No. It's the 30th, (although it would be cool if we technically lived in the future). But no matter the date, Kilmarnock always has and always will hold Halloween on the last Friday of the month. It's fairly normal to me now but when mentioned to a non Kilmarnock person it sounds utterly bizarre.But why? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BFTD Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 Jesus didn't need a truckload of bread. Are you saying that what Our Lord did isn't good enough for you, huh? What if your family don't like bread? They like... cigarettes? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BFTD Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 Why is American egg chasing called football when there's hardly any kicking involved? They are a bit think or it is due the the fact they play on foot and use a ball? Sorry, I had to point this out because I am a c**t 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
19QOS19 Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 (edited) Why is American egg chasing called football when there's hardly any kicking involved?There's actually a fair bit of kicking. A good chunk of the points gained in American Football are the result of kicks. They don't chase the football either FWIW B) Edited October 27, 2015 by 19QOS19 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

killienick Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 (edited) But why? I was hoping someone on here might know. I don't accept the widely used 'to make sure it's not on a school night' theory. I think Deeman is spot on. Because Kilmarnock.

BFTD Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 Aye. They don't need to get the ball from him, they just need to get him to the deck. Phew. Is it hot in here, or is it just me? What do they do to him then? Asking for the wife, likes Looks awfully like it after the quarter back throws the egg. I think I was labouring under the misapprehension that the quarterback was the one who ran with the ball egg. What's the runner called? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spain Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 What if your family don't like bread? They like... cigarettes?

welshbairn Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 God's sake, it's fairly simple. Some guy bends over and pumps out the egg to the Quarter Back who does a wee dance and chucks it. Everyone else chases after it, or tries to impede people doing so. Then the cheer leaders come on. Sometimes the Quarter Back tries to hold on to the egg and runs away, but then everyone jumps on him and it gets nasty. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spain Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 Why is American egg chasing called football when there's hardly any kicking involved? At a time when most sports were played on horseback, the term "football" was originally used to describe games that were played on foot (not a game in which you kick a ball with your foot). This includes soccer, rugby and American football. "Football" as the rest of the world knows it (or "soccer" in the U.S.) was originally known as Association Football, which became "soccer" for short before being widely known as just "football." American football is more an evolution of rugby football or Aussie rules football, which emerged around the same time as Association football. The term "soccer" stuck in the U.S. while in Europe and other parts just "football" became more popular than "soccer." So when people say it's weird that the U.S. calls it "soccer," they only do so because the term was invented in Europe, and was the original term for the sport before it became just "football". In short, American football is known as such because of it's similarity to rugby football. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
