Good work Special. Imbecile did mix up the idiot quota, I'll give you that. How did I forget "imbecile"? Because I'm a "spanner" perhaps. Can people stop abusing football fans please, like we all sat outside Jamie Cross's house, sifting through his bins and throwing rubbish through his letterbox until we got our way! What is this witch hunt? Idiots, imbeciles...you're all so angry! Grab a cider, sit in the sun/drizzle, think about a solution even. People should have the right to moan. People should have the right to suggest improvements. Undoubtedly. But if you REALLY feel that strong about this point, ask your captain to contact the other captain and see if your game can be brought forward. Then check with Jamie and Si that they have no problem with it, which for the record I don't think they do. I would imagine they are now past caring and on the verge of burning our tents as we sleep. Some problems (say a cold shower or rubbish pitches etc) are out of your control and maybe warrant a moan. This is firmly within your control. You can do something about it. Talk between yourselves and get it sorted. This is madness! MADNESS I TELL YOU! Of all the things TD/schedulers get pulled up on, this is surely one which a small bit of communication and common sense can sort out. Otherwise we're all going to start looking very "special". See what I did there? ;) Berry7.

People seem to complain no matter what because everybody wants their cake and to eat it. The argument that we are different as a sport is rubbish; sorry to anyone offended by this but it is. Someone made the point that by supporting other sports we show that we can appreciate sporting skill or whatever. The same person continued to make a point that we should demonstrate that we are above the petty bitching about sports; is that a holier than thou attitude forming? If so that is no better than football. Ultimate as a sport is quite often mocked by other sports teams at the university for "not being a propper sport". Tour (Open/Womens/Mixed) is the top level of playing in this country and as such some vague sense of professionalism should be applied (which it is through kit rules etc). Find me another sport in which they would stop halfway through the tournament to show any other sporting event? Imagine if we did get spectators "Sorry could you all please stop watching what you've come to watch, the players wish to watch the football." Why can't someone just record it and show it at the party? People could avoid radios and TVs during the day and then in the evening sit back and watch the football. Currently because of the football gap in the schedule I will have to play two games back to back and then spend a few hours doing nothing before my final game of the day. I know this seems angry and I appreciate that the organisers who were probably put under pressure by quite a few imbeciles to give everyone a break to watch the football. I think the fact that many teams have said that they will try to play in the gap is admirable, we are all paying to play frisbee not sit down in a pub - I can do that without a tournament fee. Sorry to any/all offended, my views no-one elses, Special _________________________________________________________________ The next generation of Hotmail is here - [1]Windows Live Hotmail References 1. http://g.msn.com/8HMBENUK/2749??PS=47575 __________________________________________________ BritDisc mailing list [email protected] http://www.fysh.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/britdisc Staying informed - http://www.ukultimate.com/staying-informed __________________________________________________ BritDisc mailing list [email protected] http://www.fysh.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/britdisc Staying informed - http://www.ukultimate.com/staying-informed
