Right now I'm sitting at home poking about at the computer while my wife is watching a game of NRL on the TV as she's having a couple of glasses of red ... at an obviously exciting moment you can hear "c'mon kill him, kill him" and it made me smile ...
... almost a lifetime ago I was playing under 9's and I remember running up from left back to tackle a right winger that was running free of the typical cloud of players with the ball you get at that age of play. Over everything going on I heard my mother screaming "c'mon Kevin, kill him, kill him". Well, the ref blew his whistle to stop play, then slowly walked over to my mum and told her to leave the side line as she was scaring the other children.
I actually blame the Romans. What were they thinking when they introduced violent sports to people like the Brits ?? [big grin]
