Soccer Goalpost Safety?

[krayzeee]

What the fuck! The government is bringing in new legislation regarding soccer goalposts.

They've released a phamplet with information about safety around soccer goalposts. WHAT THE FUCK.

Yes, one fell over and killed some kid, but FUCKING HELL THIS SOCIETY IS GOING FUCKING INSANE!

We're making laws and toughening rules against anything and everything. You can't take phone cameras to some beaches now. What the fuck is with that! If I wanted to take pictures of naked bitches I'll take a high resolution camera not a shitarse camera phone.

Just goes to prove that if you're a whinging dumbfuck you can get whatever you want nowadays.

Maybe we should start whinging about the ever increasing number of fat bitches wearing revealing clothing. Fuck.

Cheap portable soccer goalposts are ridiculously dangerous. Such guidelines are long overdue.

When I was in high school some kid in a lower grade hurt himself badly by jumping up and swinging from the crossbar, causing the entire thing to fall down on top of him.

I think the goalposts became permanently anchored after that. But the moral of the story as far as I'm concerned is don't swing like a tard from portable objects.

Most kids who can reach the top bar will want to swing from it. I've brought many a goalpost down by doing that (the first was scary, the rest I was expecting it and had learnt to make sure nobody was in range). I've seen goalposts fall from being hit by the soccer ball during a match! It's rediculous how badly designed some of these things are. If people can get away with making them so badly, then something has to be done to protect people from said bad ones.

Seconded.....

I have even seen some of the much larger, industrial designed ones fall over too, as seeen by other ppl in this thread. After being a football (yes, I call it fooball... cause it truly is.... pfffft soccer) player for over 14 yrs, I have lost count the amount of times I have seen one fall from fucktards swinging on them.

If you think it is fucked that they're bringing the legislation, ask yourself this question? If you were a father/mother and your child was killed from an unsecured goalpost, how would you feel?
