I've played at the Mount, who until the Covid shutdown had a team. The dirtiest players were the guards.

Guards and the rozzers were always the worst to play against! The rozzers especially!

My club used to play against a team from an open prison. It was frustrating because they didn't understand what they were doing, or what the laws allowed them to do. Consequently, you'ld get tackled when they were blatantly offside, and the referee would shrug his shoulders - "I can't blow every time they get it wrong, I'll wear the pea out in my whistle"!
Later, we had a few games against a higher security prison, and being literally caged inside a 12' close-mesh fence with 15 potentially violent guys was NOT the best experience of my life!
All credit to the Grand Slammers for taking this on. It looks like they had a good effect on the prisoners.

I thought this would be a thread about the crossbar challenge, why Dawson chose that hat or where did Johnson leave his horse............... instead it is about posters doing bird.
