paranoid android Posted March 29, 2018 Share Posted March 29, 2018 WFT? Guy I know is heavily involved in this - gets trips abroad and everything - never even knew it existed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
same_ol_g35 Posted March 29, 2018 Share Posted March 29, 2018 I played it for three years in Glasgow. It's a bit nuts to get your head around at first, but it's a great social scene and the folk who play are all general good guys and girls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melanius Mullarkey Posted March 29, 2018 Share Posted March 29, 2018 Looks like netball/basketball played with a football. Are you allowed contact with the women? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romeo Posted March 29, 2018 Share Posted March 29, 2018 Looks like one of those made up sports that wee annoying dick on BBC news on a Saturday morning is always doing, underwater snooker, blindfolded archery or rugby golf or some shite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
same_ol_g35 Posted March 29, 2018 Share Posted March 29, 2018 Looks like netball/basketball played with a football. Are you allowed contact with the women? It very much is a hybrid of the two. And no only men can defend the men and the same goes for the women. It's a foul to try and play a person of different gender. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uncle Psychosis Posted March 30, 2018 Share Posted March 30, 2018 Do we know each other PA? I fit the description in your OP and there's not that many korfballers in Scotland... The video in the OP is an ancient one and really needs to die. I much prefer this one as a promo: This one is a full game and was a fantastic match (with English commentary) so gives a better idea of how it actually gets played. skip to 17 minutes for the game starting. Although you can compare the game to basketball or netball it's actually quite remarkably different to either. It's massive in the Netherlands, the biggest clubs there get thousands out to watch them every week and they have facilities that a lot of our football clubs would kill for. Their top players are professional so unsurprisingly they have a massive advantage over everywhere else where the game is hardly played and is completely amateur. If anyone fancies giving it a go there are clubs in Edinburgh, Glasgow, Dundee, and St Andrews. Also all over most of England. Its a lot of fun and mixed sex teams means that socials are almost compulsory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melanius Mullarkey Posted March 30, 2018 Share Posted March 30, 2018 I see your Korfball and raise you this: and as a side note, this: one for @PB 4.2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
same_ol_g35 Posted March 30, 2018 Share Posted March 30, 2018 I think I can have a fair guess to who you are. Although to get fair there are a few Thistle fans that play Korfball. I blame the student nature of the game up here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
