We'll see haha.
Pick up- Played for 3 hours my feet feel wrecked. Hopefully I don't pick up any blisters. Last week I left pick up early because I was going to the beach and apparently there was heaps of drama with one of the regulars. Long story short he's boycotted from playing with us anymore due to his shit attitude that leads to brawls breaking out. Last time he pulled shit like that he didn't come to the courts for months so hopefully he won't be back for a while. Even when he does come back I'm done with his bullshit so I'll tell the people i'm with not to let him join in.
those people suck, it's usually a repeat offender.. there were quite a few of those people at the courts where i played growing up, leading to lots of fights. I actually got body slammed once by one of those dbags lmao. I was like 15, he was ~30.. wtf.
he needs to relax, he isn't getting paid to play pickup. brain damage.
Yeah I just don't understand the mentality of some people. This culprit is literally an English guy in his early 30's, lives with his parents, is unemployed, and his mission in life is to expose some historic poet nobody has ever heard of as being a homosexual...so yeah he doesn't have a lot going for him. Anyway he usually comes down to the courts a couple of times a month. When he doesn't play there's no tension and no fights. Yet when he's around the atmosphere is always tense and it goes from a good competitive hustling free flowing game to a physical one constantly interrupted by arguments and fouls. He just takes it way to competitive and than always gets physical, which leads to other players getting physical. Than it leads to tension and people start calling fouls on every play, which makes it worse and it just goes on a downward spiral from there.
Last week he was up to his usual antics of playing aggressive and throwing elbows around everywhere and driving straight at people, which in organised ball is called a charge!!! Yet if he so much as gets a hand check he calls a foul. If you're going to play that style you can't be a pussy and call cheap fouls. Everyone just wants to play for fun so they told him to relax and he than started saying that everyone's racist because it's mainly Africans that play at the courts. So my friend told him nobody is being racist you're just being a fuckhead. My friend is half Thai/half German and his reply to my friend was to go on a rant screaming at him that he's got nothing going for him in life and he's a nazi...so my friend started laughing at him and asking if he wants to fight and he is just talking shit saying 'you're not worth it I'd fkn bury you blah blah blah".
Anyway the game started again and as soon as my friend got the ball this guy runs up and grabs my friend in a headlock. By this stage everyone was sick of his shit so he got jumped. Hopefully they knocked some sense into him
Edit- But yeah I don't like the guy but I'm not going to fight him. He's the type of person that would call the police after getting a hiding and we used to be 'friends' on facebook. Plus the whole incident with the truck driver last year really made me re-evaluate my decision making so if I was there last week I would've just laughed and walked away if he was talking shit to me coz I know he's no physical danger to me. I still wish I was there to see him get jumped though
