SDPM I hope you dont leave but that oversensitive/manipulative act has gotten so old. Why cant you just accept that neither you or any of us are perfect?; that we will all have disagreements?; That because most of us are men and a bit arrogant there will be a fight from time to time; and that we all get over it.?

Fine, whatever you say. I know nothing about soccer anyway.

And I'll leave you all in peace.
SDPM out.

I hope you are big enough to admit that this was a cheap shot directed at UKHS designed to make him feel guilty. An apology wouldnt be out of order.

As Chisanga said, sometimes someone needs to reach over and give you a good slap. That being said, come back and join the family.

I have read wiki and to me it's just indoor football with a smaller ball, we used to play indoor football at school and to sharpen your skills we played with a tennis ball just the same as what the object of futsal is, imo it would be like calling college baseball a different name because they play with metal bats instead of wooden ones

Nah it don't matter, it's why I love football so much, 100 people could see the same thing happen but you could ask them to write what happened and there would be 100 variations.

No disrespect to anyone but to me football is football it isn't soccer, futsal is indoor football it isn't futsal or any other name, you kick a ball into a football net and it's football, only difference to me is wether it's 11 a side, 5 a side, 7 a side or indoor or outdoor it's football

But soccer is used to differentiate the sport from originally rugby and now American football.

There's all different variations of indoor football though, we used to play mainly at school 5 a side and you couldn't kick it above head height which often lead to arguments during the inter class cup we had as on my class team we had a lad who was 6ft and one who was below 5ft so who's head did you judge by

The main one that's played over here now is the masters football and memory serves me right they can kick it above head height so all differerent variations and to me futsal is just a different variation.

But I don't see why it needs to be in some cases, I mean for 31 years Beckham as called it football now he calls it soccer but surely people know what he's talking about, I mean it's very unlikely when he says I'm looking forward to playing football in America that people will think he's going to pad up and play for the Raiders is it

As a traditionalist and a purist I agree. But this is all about money and marketing, IMO, and about Beckham trying to make an easy transition into North America. He IS the Pele of sports marketing.

With the sale of Liverpool to the Dubians, English football as it has always been known is pretty much over. With both the players and the ownership primarily foreign, will the people in Liverpool still care?

With Gretna currently 12 points clear in the Scottish First Division, any predictions on how they'll fare next year in the top flight. Anyone think they'll give Celtic and Rangers a scare in the near future?

If I offended UKHS then I am sorry.
My post was only intended to reiterate the fact I know nothing about football, and I shouldn't get above my station by posting.

But if I upset then I apologise.

Why is your opinion any worse than anyone elses? In most cases it is at least as well onformed, if not better informed, then most others. Lets stop all this foolish talk of deserting the thread that in all honesty in yours.
