Whats your favourite bit of skill?

The thing is, are any of you actually any good at football. When I used to play Sunday league, people who did any fancy **** got completely minced.

Hence my first post

When I were nowt but a lad anyone wearing coloured boots might as well have had a sign on their back saying "I am a student. Please break both ankles."

Seems now that every bugger thinks they're Ronaldinho. Even 16 stone carthorse centre halves turn up in red or gold boots when they can barely pass wind let alone a football.

oh so true

Nothing worse than a player that thinks he's the bees knees and only gives hospital ball passes.

Listen, if you're not good enough to take a pass, maybe you shouldn't be on the pitch

Despite my size i'm the hardest tackler on my team. Fairly fast as well, used to be in my school's 4x100m relay team (sub 13secs if i remember rightly). Scything down some smart arse winger feels as good as scoring a goal in my book.

Favourite bit of skill has to be dinking it over a player and running onto it - gazza in the euros against Hendry - done right it'll leave the player you're up against looking like a proper plank.

Best bit of skill was when you'd show the attacking right winger out wide, and let him try and beat you for pace, the look on their face when you match them stride for stride and the look of horror on their face when they realise they can't wimp out of the challenge but are going to get proper mullered.

The sliding tackle that cleanly takes the ball but then follows through into the player - priceless.

Yup thats the one! Especially the second time you've done it - after they have the scars from the first tackle. They know its coming they can feel it coming then bang!

After that they don't want the ball. Victory is yours.

It was a favourite of mine - especially if it was by the touchline near their supporters. Classic.

5 a side is different knocking a player off the ball with the shoulder is the tackle here. If your close to a wall bonus.

I was always coached if you can't get the ball get the man.
