HampdenHearts Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 I'm just making a basic assumption here that everyone on here who posts that football is their favourite sport. What else do you really enjoy following/watching/playing? Would like to see the variety that is posted. Personally mines is tennis. Sorry about my grammar I am currently morphine'd out my tits nursing my broken leg! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bert Le Clos Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 Woman's beach volleyball Seriously I preferred playing rugby, and I enjoy watching football and rugby equally, so I guess I'd have to say football is my second favourite sport. Just as happy watching F1 and basketball, and I get really into track cycling at the World's and Olympics and golf for the majors and the Ryder Cup.

Sunday is also my day of "dont even ask me to do it cause I'm busy between 1 and 7.30" God help the woman if Hearts are playing Sunday morning. She doesn't see me all day.

ianski77 Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 I play badminton regularly but would hardly call myself a fan of the sport, Only other sports I have paid to watch are rugby, horse racing and baseball Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Old Tolbooth Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 Horse Racing, it's actually a toss up between that and football for what really is my favourite sport, but I decided that no horse racing could give me as much unbridled joy as the feeling I got on May 19th, so football shades it.

HampdenHearts Posted July 31, 2012 Author Share Posted July 31, 2012 Enjoyed playing badminton and volleyball during PE at school, table tennis is top notch too.

Victorian Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 play golf and have done for about 30 years. may be going into semi-retirement in a competitive sense at some point over the next few years as i think i'm on the slippery slope. it's murder to realise that you can't reasonably expect to get better than you have ever been and that it's going to be difficult to stop getting worse. some golfers keep getting better and better with age but i'm just getting edgier and more erratic.

rossthejambo Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 Don't really have a second, got a few other sports that I enjoy watching but couldn't really rank them. Golf (Majors only) Tennis (again, Grand Slams only) Horse racing NFL F1 Speedway I'll probably watch any sport that's on the telly though tbh, apart from cricket.

Dr. Sheldon Cooper Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 Football is the only sport I play and watch regularly but golf would be up there as my second favourite. I love watching the majors and the Ryder Cup and if I was a bit better then I would play a hell of a lot more. Used to be a member of a tennis club and would always like to get back into that.

The Old Tolbooth Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 Is there a way to enjoy horse racing without betting on it? I can watch pretty much any sport without a bet but not that. It takes a special kind of love for the sport to appreciate it without the betting element attached, I'd say the majority of race goers only go for the thrill of the bet, but I could quite easily sit and watch a race and still have plenty interest in it without having a bet, although the nature of the sport is to have a gamble, even if it's just a small stake.

I P Knightley Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 If there were a football match (non HMFC) and a men's tennis match playing on different channels at the same time, I'd watch the tennis pretty much every time. There's so much more competitive action. It would be 50:50 between football and rugby; would depend on who's playing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not the expert handicapper you are, John. (despite your disclaimer ) I play at it and bet outsiders most of the time, after, naturally, convincing myself using a form of twisted logic, that they actually do have a shot. Nothing heavy, but I am a bit like yourself in the able to "just sit and watch" stakes. Although, when I'm home, I don't seem able to do that very often.

ArcticJambo Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 It's just really the baseball here just now in N America but in the evenings throughout the rest of the year I'll tend to watch the baseball during the playoffs, the reg season marquee basketball match-ups, the Sun/Mon night NFL and the NHL playoffs if a team merits it. Sat & Sun are, sad to say almost always a case of 7:30 to 6pm straight football. Rarely watch anything other than sport ... perhaps The First 48 ... Life is Cheap!
