Aw man that looked fething painful. Nice to see the Scots celebrate as hard as they play.

Those "appalling" conditions look like good fun for a game of Rugby.

In a fight outside a pub 5 or 6 years ago a bloke actually tried to bite my eyebrow (Don't ask!) you know that sorta, relatively pliable half inch of skin your eyebrow sits on? We were wrestling after the punches were thrown and the fethers head was above mine after I stuck the nut on him.. next thing his teeth are nicely fixed upon my actual right eyebrow!

I digress, I just sorta tore my head back and carried on scrapping until the doormen separated us, and due to the absolute lack of pain/feeling above my eye, I was concerned he might have took a chunk with him or something, but when I got back inside and checked in the mirror, I had a minuscule cut and was none the worse for wear. I'm sure he got a good few eyebrow pubes stuck in his throat.

(The above gak story nicely illustrates that you don't tend to feel very much around the brow area)

We are arming Syrian rebels who support ISIS, who is fighting Iran, who is fighting Iraq who we also support against ISIS, while fighting Kurds who we support while they are fighting Syrian rebels.

Actually now that i think about it the one time i headbutted someone in a fight it didnt hurt that much. I was having a stoush with this big bruiser at school and he got me pinned up against a wall. He made the mistake of trying to getting his face to close to me so i just threw my head fowards and clocked him one. I was sore afterwards and i wouldnt want to do it again but there was no real lingering pain after the innitial connection. So yeah, not many nerve in the brow would make sense. That being said it wasn't a very hard headbutt due to the angle the guy had me pinned so that may have accounted for less pain. But it sure as hell caught him off guard and it bloody well put the wind up him.

Getting bitten on the eyebrow hurts like a biatch. A few years back my dog had litter of pups. Being half Kelpie half Staffy Bull Terriers they were fiesty little buggers. Anyway one morning my mum was giving my a wake up call right? And what better way to wake up a sleeping teenage boy? Unleash 8 rabid staffy pups on him yeah? So these things are nipping and clawing at me and one decides that my shiny eyebrow ring would make a fine thing to pull on with all his puppy might. So my mums standing there pissing herself as her son is getting attacked then laughs even more once she sees that ive lost my eyebrow ring and half me bloody eyebrow to them.

I got my first one connecting head-to-head with our prop around the opposing team's 8.

Second was a knee to the head coming in too low on a tackle.

Third was getting punched in the eye before the stitches from the second came out. In hindsight I should have reconsidered that particular insult, which cannot be reproduced here.

Fourth was a cleat coming over my face before I rolled away.

THAT.

During a game of footy at school i had a guy wearing cleats step on my arm after i dived for the ball. That hurt like the dickens. I can only imagine what it would be like to have someone step or even sideswipe your face with some... We really need a wincing orkmoticon.


Lets see... Injuries while sporting.

(AFL)
Cracked a rib in a game of footy after someone layed his knee into my back when he went for a speckie.
Had they above mentiond guy step on my arm, nothing serious there aside from a lot of pain.
Got clotheslined during another game of football.
Edit 2: Also recived an ACL injury but it wasnt severe so i got lucky with that one.

(Rugby)
Pulled a hammy during a rugby match.
Had some douche kick a rugby ball right into my face from point black range because i called him out on dirty tactics and a dodgey tackle. Managed to turn my head just enough so that i coped it on the cheeck instead of square in the face.
Came to the aid of a teammate who was having a blowout with some guys from the opposing team. Got decked and stomped on for my troubles.

(Basketball)
Had a guy land on my foot after he went for a dunk. Turns out he managed to land size 13 foot entirely on my big toe and completely shattered my toenail. Had to have an operation on it to remove all the peices of nail. Since then its never quite grown back the same.

(Soccer)
I broke my right thumb and right arm during a soccer match. Deflected a shot with my thumb which caused that to break. The ball then hit the post and slammed right into my arm which was the cause of that break. I did however save the goal.

Now this last one isn't so much an injury as it an all out brawl, but its still worth a mention purely because its a good yarn.
During an inter school sports match (ie friendly school vs school game meant to build relationships between various schools) I let a goal through which i should have easily stopped. I then procceded to curse myself out for my lax goalkeeping. The other teams coach overheard me talking to myself and then either thought i was insulting one of his players OR what i think is more likely is that he was mad at me because i had been completely owning all their attempts at goal. Well he called me, and i quote, An "unsportsman like little 'so n so' (i wont repeat what he actually said.) who should go home and learn some manners." There was also some other insults thrown in for good measure but they're hardly worth mentioning. Now thats all very well and good. I can take a sledge even one as nasty as that so i let it slide. But this guy just has to push it and over the course of the match keeps having a go at me. So anyway at one point i ever so casually smiled and made some rather disparaging remarks about his mother. I also made the error of bringing to light the sexual exploits of his daughter who happened to be a student as the school he teached at.
Now you have to understand that by this point everyone on and off the field had eyes on us waiting to see what happened and to be honest the situation wouldnt have escalated past us insulting each other due to the fact that i was student and was a teacher. What i didnt take into account was that this guys son also played on their team and he had no qualms what so ever about defending the honour of his sister. So he grabs me in a headlock and just starts laying into me. Punching me in the gut over and over. I was getting my arse thoroughly handed to me. I mean i managed to get in a few good licks but it wasnt any good. He was all over me like a bad rash and there wasnt a single thing i could do about it. Luckily for me though a few teammates came to the rescue.
My team jumps in to help me, the other team jump in to help their guy and its a happening thing. So in the end we have 20 odd students and 3 teachers all having a right old brawl over a few words. Good fun really.

Should i have made the comments about his daughter? Nah probably not. But he should learn to accept the fact that his team sucked at the game and quit taking his rage out on me. (You will notice i underlined the word game ) And in my defence everything i said was true. I cant help it if word gets around.



Oooh also while trawling youtube i came across this. No spilt eyebrows here, but spectacular none the less.
EDIT: Video wont work for some reason. Heres a link instead.

Honestly, at the time, I was so into the game that I was more upset that I had to go to the hospital. I barely even felt it, until the day after anyway.

This is fun though, its bringing back great memories.

To list injuries I suffered:

(American Football)

Tore my ACL freshman year of highschool during our first contact practice. We were playing "Bull in the Ring" which is basically Sumo, but with pads. I got placed against the biggest dude on our team, 6'3 300-ish, I was doing well until I tried to shuck him. He fell on my fully extended leg. That hurt.

Separated my shoulder a couple times while pulling.

(Rugby)

All the aforementioned face injuries.

Separated my shoulder tackling a much larger man. Note to self, don't try to spear guys that are your height, but with an extra 100 lbs.

We were playing another college team. It was a dirty game. The Sir called myself (hooker) and the scrum together with their scrum and hooker and basically told both teams to take it down a notch. Their scrum proceeded to punch ours in the face, right there in front of the Sir; who was understandably dumbfounded. He called the game as a forfeit when he realized what had happened, and their scrum protested. I remember the exchange verbatim:

Sir: You punched him the face.
Other Scrum: No I didn't.
Sir: What?
Other Scrum: I didn't punch him the face.
Sir: You did it 30 seconds ago, right here, in front of me.
Other Scrum: You're lying.

As this is happening the other guys on our team are pulling out cell phones and calling the police, because everyone knows what is coming. I grabbed our scrum by the jersey and started backing him away because we had maybe 30 guys, and they had about 60; I pick up the game ball on the way back. I hear "feth you!" from their scrum, and see their hooker charge at us. Mind you our team is on the sidelines, while theirs had been framing the far side of the field during the exchange. So I gun the ball at the hooker's head, I missed (I can't pass for gak), he hits me at full bore. This was stupid because I just rolled through it, pinned his arms back with my knees, and started punching him the face. This broke my knuckle (this is the injury). Probably his nose too, I don't remember much after that aside from the police sirens. Turns out the whole opposing team had done several lines before the match.

(Wrestling)

Kid headbutted me off the whistle. I bit through the right half of my tongue. My immediate reflex was to start swallowing blood. This won me the match after I threw a front headlock on his attempted double-leg, but led to much vomiting in the bathroom and a tongue that is numb on one side.

Injuries I've caused:

(American Football)

Full disclosure, the joke in this game was "Dogma is always the dirtiest player on the field."

Kid playing 2-way line spit in our QB's face after he ran him out of bounds on an option. He was their center, I was the nose, my hand may or may not have intentionally slid into his throat...several times. He had to leave the game due to an inability to breathe.

In college a guy had been cutting downfield, illegally, but wasn't being penalized. I took it upon myself to single him out when he came to block me. I grabbed his face mask, and snapped it downwards. His helmet came off, as expected, and he got a stinger; also as expected. The motion threw the helmet to the sideline, about 15 yards away, and I didn't get a penalty. Their coach almost gak himself with rage, understandably so.

There are others, but those are the fun ones.

Ahh just remembered that i have a few Cricket injuries i forgot to mention.

I forgot my groin guard once after going out to bat and of course not long into my batting session i took a ball straight to the cods. Now lemme tell ya, a cricket ball quite a hard ball and when bowled at 100+ kph (i think about 62mph) its not something you want smacking you in testes. Needless to say im doubled over in pain while everyone else on the pitch is doubled over laughing.
While fielding i misjudged my distance from the boundry fence and as i was running backwards so i could keep my eye on the ball. I hit the fence, fell over it and dislocated my shoulder. I caught the ball though so it was worth it.
Ive taken more the a few hits to head due to wonky bowls while batting. Lucky for me i was wearing a helmet for most of them so nothing to serious there.
I think every other injury ive sustained during Cricket has been as wicket keeper. Fast balls getting past the batsman and hitting me in the chest or legs when i havent been quick enough to stop them. So again nothing major there.


Also had a few twisted ankles and such while competing in athletics comps. Mostly Track and field stuff.

Both serious injuries I've suffered were in cricket matches. I broke my collar bone diving for a ball and attempting to flick it up my team mate who was just to my side. Stuffed it up completely, and landed on the point of my shoulder, snapping the bone clean.

I also did my ACL. Running back to take the catch my foot planted as I turned to my left, and basically just collapsed. Apparently it looked really innocuous, but cost me a full season.

There's nothing very dangerous about cricket, really. I'm just a spaz.

I also played hockey for years, and because I was in the rubbish grades injuries were pretty common. I copped a stick to the face a couple of times, and playing full back getting hit by lifted balls was to be expected. Never got a serious injury though, guess 'coz I was in a rubbish grade, and played before the modern sticks the ball never got fast enough to do serious damage. Watching the better grades now with carbon fibre on the sticks the ball moves like a tracer bullet, I'm surprsed no-one has died.

If you fell over the fence then the catch was completed out of the field of play, and should be 6. Just saying

Also that rule happens to be very important to me because the first six I hit had the same thing happen.

The ACL injuries always look innocuous. Yet they tend to be the ones that destroy your sporting hopes and dreams.

I caught it though so thats an out as far as any Ump is concerned. Don't get me wrong, if i were the batsman i'd be wanting a 6 for it as well.

And make doctors tell you'll need a new knee at 35.
