Favourite sport? (Cricket excluded)

Uh, yeah, vote, please

EDIT - Anyway for a mod to edit and make this public? It was always my intention

What, no Table Tennis? In that case, I will have to say football. What with Forest being top and 5 points clear, there's not much to hate about footie at the moment

AFL, League and Football all are equal for me. Though League has waned over the last 3 years or so, became so boring (thanks in part to the Roosters :|)

I went for Cycling. I play football a lot but there's nothing like the self satisfaction from doing a long bike ride.

Rugby Union for me, but Rugby League, Netball, American Football, Soccer and Aussie Rules are all sports I enjoy.

Football for me, athletics, cycling and tennis also carry some interest along with wrestling when the girls get it on.

You need glasses, son.

From the list, handball. Could at least have had the decency to list "winter sports", tho (for the one Northern vote).

Opinion on the listed sports:

Football: follow irregularly, mostly Norwegian leagues, and enough English to make snarky comments
Rugby union: grasp enough to know Italy's crap
Rugby league: whenever steds tells me about it
Golf: either "not care" or sit four hours in front of the TV
Snooker: quite a lot. Lots of coverage on Eurosport at present.
Aussie rules: don't know owt
Field hockey: tiny ball, got to kneel down when you hit it, can't wield it above ground...
Ice hockey: ok when Norway play
Tennis: occasionally, usually when broncoman runs a predictions league
Badminton: like to play but wouldn't know a top-ten player
Boxing: erk
Volleyball: can watch it but the constant breaks ruin it a bit, much better than
Beach volleyball: honestly, go buy **** instead
Athletics: will watch (was at Euro Champs this summer) and know pretty much all the top athletes
Wrestling: what form? Pro isn't competitive sport, Greco-Roman and free are a bit...odd...
Swimming: can watch, reloaded furiously when a Norwegian won silver at the Euro Champs this summer, bit like athletics
Darts: nah
Baseball: think I'd get into it if I bothered. Don't know many apart from Bonds tho
Yankball: fascinating as a commercial event, bit dull to watch tho
Basketball: struggle to see the defensive skills involved
Netball: never seen it
Handball: much rather than basketball, anyway
Cycling: good fun and a lot of tactics involved, fun to watch
Gaelic: know even less than about Aussie
Some other sport that I have stupidly omitted: lots
