Hi all you folks out there,
I am going to a fitba game on my annual golf visit to Houston, Texas.
Any hints on what to expect?

If you are going to a rugby game in the US, expect poor refereeing,
dirty play, massive forwards and a solid post match piss up.

I don't understand why anyone would go to Houston voluntarily,
but I find it especially interesting that someone from Scotland
would take an "annual golf visit" to Houston. Did you make
a deal with the Devil? Sell your soul to fix your backswing?

I'll admit that I don't get it! Is that Sawcaw?
My best advice on visiting Houston is to beware of cops in plaid shorts!

well firstly that isn't fitba but rugger and I would guess that its
somewhere in the borders one of the teams might be Jedburgh.

In fitba the ball is round and the players chase each other around the
park. In rugger the balls are odd and the players grab each other and
then start mauling.

As opposed to Oz fitba where the ball is odd, the players chase each
other around the park, grab each other and then start mauling?
