As far as screening goes. If someone blocks my path to the ball, to a pass, to going to my goal, by physically placing there body in my path, i feel i'm justified in un-blocking them. Even if they are a girl. If you are using your positioning, balance, bike skills, speed and reading of the game to stop me from playing, don't be surprised that i use my balance, bike skills, speed and reading of the game to counteract it. It's quite simple, if you are trying to push me off the ball with your shoulder, make sure you can do it and i'm not stronger than you. Mark for eg: is very good at screening, a pass, the ball when he has it, or when you have it, or stopping you from making a run. If someone smaller, tried to play like mark, i'd just outmuscle them and push them out of the way. Whether you can (within the rules) play a certain way or not, dosnt mean it's smart. Do i charge against toddy? Gormley? Gabes? No. They are much faster than me to the ball, i realise my limitations. Do I try to out hop cam in a corner? No ... again, pick your battles. Emmet you fag, bust a cap in her grill, then drop a fiddy on her grave next time.
