SPADGE

Doesn't have to be though the goalies legs just through any players legs will suffice

Mr Brannen

Doesnt have to be through the Goalies legs at all

RichardPON

Any passage of the ball through the legs of a player is known as a nutmeg.

As The Ponster said

When my lad plays and he Nutmegs someone all you here is "MEEGGGGG'd"

The other lads face is usually of the gutted variety

right-o lol

well, as far as i know (and im prolly wrong )

err, say you got one gay in red defending the goal to the left of the TV and another gay, this time in blue atacking said goal on the left, he (blue gay) kicks the ball past the red gay to another gay in blue who touches the ball behind the line of the gay in red (not touches up the gay in red, but we all know he wants to ) this is classed as "off side" similar to "bats for the other side" in football terms

but its not just cricket is it

Let me get my 9 year old son to explain in full

Wait till you here this one

"Superb Cruyff turn there, lost the player and off he went"

RichardPON

Why do people assume watching football is gay?

I'd say poncing round in a battered old 3 door Sierra was erring on the homosexual side myself

Fudgey

you prefer the battered old 4 doors yourself dont you

and if you go to a rugby match, you can talk and laugh with the opositions supporters and go for a beer after the game - win or loose.

with football you get the shit kicked out of you just for going into the same pub...

Cruyff turn = spin the ball between ankles and do a U turn at the same time


A nutmeg is the art of passing a ball to oneself, through the legs of an opposing player.

The term nutmeg appears to have arisen from two sources. In England ‘nutmegs’ was slang term for testicles, and the link from this to a ball between the legs isn’t exactly rocket science. The other source is the verb nutmeg, which means to deceive or trick someone, and also make the victim of the deception appear naive or foolish. This term was coined during the trading of nutmegs between the U.S. and England in the 19th century. As nutmegs were a valuable resource, some shady exporters would mix wood with their produce to get a higher profit per yield.

RichardPON

Not at all Dan.

You can go to plenty of football matches with a good family atmosphere.

It's just a little strange when people put something down they openly admit they know nothing about, and then lump it into the "gay" category as a result.

I respect anyone's decision to like anything................ except for 3 door replicas - now they are super gay!

RSeb

its only a true meg if you call it first, ie giving the player the chance to close em and therefore embarrasing him further by calling it, then megging him anyway.

anyway people who hate football etc obviously cant play football and must have always been that kid in the school playground that no-one wanted and got picked last lol

this is where ur hatred of the beautiful game comes from
