Sometimes a match can become so intense that people become careless - there are certain players who ruin the game by pulling on the back of your bibs or accidentally on purpose kick you so hard in the shin that you fall over. There's nothing worse than seeing your friend and team mate falling over on the defending third of your court and you're GS so you're stuck in the attacking third. You can't even go over to her without being pulled up for being offside and it's the longest thirty seconds of your life. Sometimes, the game is heartless and some players deserve a punch in the chops, but you'd rather beat them on the court and help your friend limp off with smug smiles on your faces knowing that you've won with your determination and talent.
