The Yak Shack Forum

Just wondering if that is a big story outside of the US sports community.  In case you don't know what I am talking about I was watching the Detroit Pistons (my fav team ((not bandwagon I grew up in Michigan)) and the Indiana Pacers and a fan threw a beer at one of the players and he jumped into the stands and punched a fan.  From there all HE doublehockeysticks broke out.  It lasted about 10 minutes one of the craziest things I have ever seen.  

I am sure that is somewhat normal for all you English Soccer/Football Hulligans :D  I know I saw some of you causing trouble at numerous international friendlies.

Any news clips on international news?  

Well us 'English Socccer Hooligans' (no sweeping generalisation there ;) ) tend to start fights with each other, not with players. I'd like to think that maybe the players would have a little more self control than that too! Shocking!

lol

Actually you do realise that every Friday and Saturday night Mark and I go setting fire to things and beating up people on the street because we are sports fans. I know Ben does it too and Olly is an addict!

ROFL

I haven't heard about your problems, the latest hooligan story in the UK is that the Spanish international players were making racists comments and gestures at the English black international football players.

Now that's not nice is it precious!!??

Hi Beckham:

I did not hear about the fight.  Did any of the NBA players get the snot knocked out of them?  They for the most part are a bunch of prima donnas and I hope some of them got their clocks cleaned!

Next time anyone is at the train station in England watch for the posted pictures of the mad two-some MaktheYak and his trusty sidekick Roz notorious for starting brawls at various sporting events Dominion wide!!   ;)  They are England's Bonnie & Clyde!!   ;)  

*Chants and looks eager* "fight fight fight fight FIGHT fight..hit him hit him in the Button, thats it GET in the there"

 ;D

A Good fight on telly is great, for those who deserve it ofcourse, like whimpy basketball players  :D

It must be something in the water in the Northern Hemisphere ::)

I always watch these on the news with much amusement.

We are MUCH more civilised down South - these kind of sport brawls rarely, if ever, occur down here 8)

Roz, it wasn't the Spanish players, twas the crowd...scum

Ahh apologies, I must have read it wrong! T'is still disgusting!

So you've never seen Aussie Rules then ?  ;D

CJD

Yeah that was wild Beckham! They were showing it all night on espn Sportcenter. It was like some strange mixture of basketball and hockey. :o I wonder if any of those players are going to be sued. It looks like some innocent bystanders got hurt by these insane players.

You would have felt right at home, Roz, at the game but unfortunately for you there were no fire starters :'(

Yes but the Australian Rules Football guy wear those super short shorts from 70's roller disco's.  Those are truly a crime against humanity, seriously get some longer shorts or just wear spandex :-[

damnit stop talking about my Christmas present for Mark

 ;D

Gee Roz, Mark would look like Baby Huey in those!!  :P

Roz,
that was so funny I just busted out laughing ;D.  Just the mental picture of a 6'5" guy (I think I read in a post mark was around that tall) in short shorts with the smedium t shirt saying "roller disco rules" and a pair of rainbow suspenders on roller skates cracks me up.

ROFL - yeah - but we don't count that as sport - they're a crime against humanity, those shorts ;D

Its like they stole the shorts of the Hooters Waitresses ;D

Do they have Hooters resturants outside of the US?  Have you ever heard of them?

I've heard of them... we don't have any here in Oz though!

Basically a "resturant" type place where the "waitresses" wear super short orange shorts and rather tight t shirts.  Needless to say I am sure you get the idea.  Yes they do serve food, but mostly eye candy.

Hi Beckham:

Well I was reading about the NBA fight and the story says up to 4 of the players are suspended and the NBA will move quickly to determine how long they will be out and what fines will be imposed.  The Police are aslo involved to determine criminal complaints against players and fans.  Have you heard anything new on this?

Man I don't even want to picture Mark in Hooters shorts!!  :P

Well so far we have the skates  :-\ but they look a bit cool - I'll paint them pink for him!

I wonder how much money/bribery/fame/food we would have to throw at  Mark to get him into that......

This is so mean doing all this whilst he is away for the weekend - what larks we'll have when he gets back!(Becks I think he's 6 foot 4 but maybe he's been eating his weetabix and growing taller)

Like the old saying goes Roz - "When the cats away, the mice will play"!!   :)

Hmm.  OK well let me put things straight. I'm 6'3" (Roz I'm surprised you don't know that!) and you would have to give me a lot of money to wear pink Skates and spandex. The amount would depend entirely on how many people I would have to be seen by and who they were.

And I'd just like to say on the subject of racism and sweeping generalisations: "Those bloody Spanish! They're all racist, the lot of 'em!"

Just kidding ;)

That's because you lied to me when we first met and told me 6 foot 4!

Yeah I know well that was just to impress you of course! :p

(Actually I don't remember that at all but it sounds like something I might have done)

Mark:

The first that goes as you get older is the memory they say!   ;)  I am one that should talk!  :P
