    Not the best night for British football!

    Oh :)

    Yes, very sad.

    I really used to enjoy playing football in my yoof, but have never been able to be a spectator. As for spending endless hours listening to pundits yabbering on - I'd rather watch paint dry.

    With other sports I'm fine. I think I must be missing a football gene.

    I've only just started playing again (well, within the last year).

    I'm a goalie, and a month ago I broke my thumb in a game, so have been on the sidelines :(

    Also meant I couldn't play the piano for 2 weeks. Not fun!

    Ouch!

    Can't play sports these days, sadly. Used to play all sorts. Hockey, rugby, water polo, badminton on a pretty regular basis, always glad to join a game of volleyball or five-a-side soccer...

    ..was a fair fencer once upon a time.

    Outdoors was trecking and rock climbing (my only real claim to fame) and a 200 mile stroll was a pleasant way to spend a week :)

    I was a skinny lad at school so did pretty well at the long distance running, which I did enjoy. At the annual school fun-run, I had a bet with one of teachers that I'd beat him. Got a mars bar!

    Though I hated rugby. Always had the crap beaten out of me :(

    Aren't you supposed to give teachers apples, not take mars bars off them?

    Not my fault. He was crap at running.

    Yes, I'm talking to you, Mr Northwood! You were crap! And I hated your lessons!!
