Dear Swedes

I was in the public sauna yesterday, and there was one really talkative guy (it's rare to hear anyone talk in Finnish public saunas). I kind of fed his talking, because it's fun to have a break in the silence sometimes.

At some point the conversation turned to concern Sweden.
The man had been playing soccer in Sweden in some sort of "bolag" league, and he told me that the Swedes were constantly and deliberately kicking Finns to their legs while playing!

That's not fair at all to me.
I was pretty upset when I left the sauna. I think Swedes ought to learn you can't keep kicking people in their legs without consequences -- especially Finns.

As a matter of fact, the next time I see a Swede, I might have to kick his leg.

What do you have to say in your defence?

To be sure - those people in the sauna do not visit this forum, right? :)

I know exactly what you mean aaeeiio!
Some time ago I was deliberately attacked by a dog while I was just walking along the road, minding my own business.

That's not fair at all to me. I think mammals ought to learn you can't keep trying to bite people in their throats without consequences -- especially me.

As a matter of fact, the next time I see a mammal, I might have to bite it.

Unfortunately the dog in question couldn´t answer, but you´re a mammal too. What do you have to say in your defence?

Hehe! :D Even if Swedish teams are doing this, I doubt it's something that Swedes in general know about. That would be kinda funny -- a Swedish Finn-kicking conspiracy!

I'm glad someone has similar experiences, although I'm not sure which hurts more, being bitten by a dog or kicked by a Swede. (Of course I haven't been personally kicked, but I can strongly feel the collective pain.)

Well, before biting a mammal I usually make sure it's cooked.

Maybe you should be more lively so that no one thinks you're cooked. Jump around or something. Talking a lot is a good indicator, too.

That´s no excuse, I was walking along the road! If I had been cooked I couldn´t have done that.

Hm, well, it's hard to judge anything without seeing the situation...
It could be possible that you were walking in a particularly cooked manner without knowing it yourself.

But I can't know that, so I suppose I have to carry my mammal-responsibility.

I'm sorry the dog bit you, Dust Puppy.
He should have asked you whether you're cooked or not, especially since you were in visible motion. It seems the dog totally neglected the common safety procedures to be done before biting a mammal.

Aww, okay, I accept the apology. :D

Actually the dog didn´t bite me. He tried to, but my forearm slamming into his throat kind of stopped him (usually I´m not that fast, I didn´t even notice what happened, it was just a reflex :? ).

I wonder if the dog will now be angry and try to hit someone with his paw in return. Waaait... hitting with a paw is like kicking, isn´t it? Oh dear, I think now I know why the Swedes were kicking the Finns... :shock:

Hmm... Oh dear.

Are you saying that the Swedes have made similar attempts to bite you?

No... but it sounds like a good idea. 8)

This discussion is on the Swedish forums, yet no Swedes have taken part, how funny is that?

Footballers deserve to be kicked in the legs, they're all a bunch of overpaid nancy-boys.

I'm a swede, and you know what? I totally agree with you :D Swedes don't play football for fun, they play cause they want to win. I hate it! But actually I think that swedes aren't the only one... :wink:
