Instigated a wee meltdown from an Ice Hockey loving woman on FB.

It's not my fault Ice Hockey is shite!

That was brilliant. Proper verge of tears stuff.

I thought she was kidding on! :lol:

Nah, took it a bit serious.

I think it was being picked up on ice hockey players being able to go at 4x the speed of footballers.

Going by that crazy fact that would mean that ice hockey players can skate at up to speeds of around 90mph (Using Walcott as a comparison admittedly - 22mph top speed) when in fact the top speeds that NHL players reach is said to be around 20mph.

I can absolutely believe she was an idiot, there are some amount of them that follow the sport in the UK (especially women, no offence). I'm afraid I still have to give you a red dot for saying hockey is shite, though. :P

It's the kind of sport that seems to be loved by tedious life failures with bad hygeine and monobrows. It's a truly boring sport, and if you listen to a fan of it they always point out how exciting the fights are, as if that makes it okay. They're not really though, and you're lucky to get one a match anyway.

Many years ago I went to see the L.A. Spandex or whatever they were called. This made almost every American I told incredibly excited because apparently some guy called Wayne Gretzky was playing. I remember virtually nothing about the game except the rather annoying habit American sport has of introducing music and various types of honking, beeping and booming noises at inopportune moments.

A sport that needs to put a light on to tell you that a goal's been scored automatically qualifies as being shite.

I reckon it'd be a great sport to play but I can't be fucked watching it.

It's a bit like F1 in the respect that the only entertaining part is when the participants clash and smash each other to bits.

One of my mates loves Ice Hockey, going all over the UK following Braehead. He says it's decent because you can get a beer during it, but swearing is out of the question.

What a joke!

Vicious assault is fine though as long as both players are still able to stand up. blink.gif

Imagine if footballers were able to fight until one of them fell down?

That'd be great!

Fighting in hockey is quite an interesting debate. I don't like it personally and I think the sport would benefit from banning it, I believe the UK is the only country in Europe where it doesn't result in being sent off for the whole match and getting a suspension. A lot of those who are pro-fighting suggest that the rest of the game would become a lot dirtier without it; the fact fighting is tolerated means that there are repercussions for players diving, hitting people with their sticks and all round dirty play because they're likely to get lamped for it. There are of course those who are simply morons and just enjoy the fighting as much as the actual sport, my least favourite kind of hockey supporter.

Is he a Clyde supporter by any chance? The part about swearing is true because there tends to be a lot more families with children at hockey matches than football, but I can't help but feel there are also a lot of folk who just get off on thinking they're better than football supporters.

He is indeed, I take it you know him?
