Do Men In The UK Play Field Hockey Too?

[pimpdave]

Because from what I hear, they're very fond of games invented for girls to play.

We do indeed. I lost my front two teeth playing field hockey in school. Spitting bits of teeth I remember hitting the dude who did it and calling him a thucking bathtard.

Most British dental work occurs this way.

[Pedronicus]

only played field hockey a couple of times. No shin pads available in school, every fucker took advantage of that fact and everyone had mashed up shins.
short game. after 15 minutes we all stopped playing

do you have to wear skirts like field hockey players do?

We don't HAVE to.

yeah its kind of like Lacrosse but not as stupid....

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lacrosse

Lacrosse is a team sport of Native American origin played using a small rubber ball and a long-handled stick called a crosse or lacrosse stick, mainly played in the United States and Canada. It is a contact sport which requires padding.

do all sports in America require Padding????....did your mommy's insist that you had to wear it???

here in Ireland we play a similar game involving a ball and a stick but the ball is not made of rubber and they use a proper stick to beat the shit out of each other....oh and no padding...

nuff said again....shit man this the best you can come up with.....

hurling looks fucking stupid.

and why are the referees wearing lab coats?

So they can examine the corpses forensically. Why do American football referees throw their tissues around whenever someone touches another player?

still beats the shit out of lacrosse (I cant even say that name without laughing)...

and these guys don't need a big padded mitt (again with the padding) to catch the ball..

that's why some of the tissues are red. Soccer and rugby can take a hint, though, as they use trading cards.

No, I agree with you totally. I hate lacrosse. I've never played it, but it looks so terrible...I was watching college lacrosse and one person was literally running with the ball for about 5 minutes in circles.

but saying hurling requires the skills of hockey and baseball is like saying football requires the skills of golf. If you think baseball and hockey skills are needed to play hurling, you've obviously never played baseball or hockey before.

I will agree with you on that one...i did not write that into the video, I was just looking for something that showed off hurling...

I think the video is a promotional vid aimed at Americans, here is the link...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TmzivRetelE
and the text that comes with it...

Hurling combines the skills of baseball, hockey, and lacrosse in one high speed, high scoring, high octane sport that will blow you away. It's taking off in North America. Try it!

this thread is another lame attempt at taking the piss out of UK sports...specially ball & stick sports, and shows that the OP has no real clue about sports and is just been a douche...

I remember playing hockey in phys ed once, scored from outside the box but apparently that was against the rules

[ManBungalow]

I also played hockey at school.

There was this big guy in my class who broke some tosser's fibula with a hockey stick.

Field lacrosse is quite boring. Box lacrosse though is a mix of hockey and basketball and quite exciting to watch. There is a shot clock so one can't "run around for five minutes in circles".

[pimpdave]

So I guess the Limeys in here think that Field Hockey is the same thing as Hockey.

Ehh, there's hockey and then there's ice hockey.

In North America and most of Northern and Eastern Europe there is hockey and field hockey. In Great Britain it is hockey and ice hockey. We get it.

[Gypsys Kiss]

There's hockey then there is field, ice, inline, air hockey and probably numerous others that I haven't heard of......



I nearly had my head taken playing air hockey.........a strangely violent game at times

[pimpdave]

Well here in the USA, Field Hockey is a ladies' sport. Men don't play it. I was only asking because I want to learn about different cultures and celebrate diversity.

I used to work at a place that had an air hockey table. Bloody knuckles were not uncommon, and flying pucks were a hazard as well. One memorable event had a puck popping someone squarely on the bridge of the nose. With kids always running around, we'd get some fantastic looks from parents.

Good times. Air hockey is serious business.
