Astro turf What a stupid surface !! Always seems like a good idea to go sliding in for a hard tacke at the time ... one day later and I've now got a leg like Simon Weston. Agony.
Had a game on it a couple of weeks ago in torrential rain... slipping everywhere and me knees looked like they'd been tomohawked...
I fell on my elbow months ago and you can still see the burn. Don't think I'd ever do a sliding tackle though
It was a work comp and we were willing each other own to get stuck in. Some boy scored against us with a slide tackle so next attack I flew in like a maddy and ended up getting cautioned for going to ground.
