Is there any story featuring football hooligans, in MLP FIM's case Buckball Hooligans. Basically a group of people who love drinking and getting drunk, and getting into fights with other hooligans from another team... or just random people.

I think the concept has some potential for some hilarity. Especially if there's a universe where humans make first peaceful first contact with the ponies. But the Buckball Hooligans put a dent in it.

1) Basketball

2) Snails

3) Those horrendous, god-awful, hideously out of place facial animations on the train. Jesus, those expressions don't belong in this show.

In my scoring system, two of the four elements which contribute to the episode's rating are theme and characterization. These are both essential elements of a great episode, but they're meaningless if the episode can't entertain all the way through. "Buckball Season" is a strong example of this, as it boasts fully-formed themes, a relatively strong moral, and some of the strongest characterization we've seen in this show, but none of that can compensate for its eventual descent into tedium

Man, I love Dungeons & Discords. "Discord episode" has become as much an epithet as "Spike episode", but when the writers try and actually make sure he's doing interesting, funny things, Discord is great to have around. And somehow, they were able to make an episode that just brushes up against the cringe line without actually crossing it. Not ultimately substantial, but tons of fun, no real complaints. Also, dat Puerto Caballo.

I believe Buckball Abstract has the record among all my stories for the highest ratio of views-in-the-first-24-hours to time-taken-to-write. This was just a random idea I had after watching Buckball Season. When I started writing I thought it would make a new chapter in Codex Equestria, but it drifted just

So I'm currently working on the next chapter of Bluebird, however, I've hit a point where I'm having difficulty getting it done. To put it simply, in the last chapter I set up Gallus signing up for tryouts in the Academy's buckball team and another club, so this chapter is meant to tell how the actual tryouts go.

Yaaaay, sports. That's exciting. I guess

Good to see in Common Ground that the analysis of Buckball statistics I imagined in Buckball Abstract is now canon.

I think it must be time to investigate this branch of applied mathematics further.

Hello there. another week another episode. This week we saw the appearance of a sports game that sounds pretty dang fun, Buckball. I'm honestly not that big of a sports person but the concept of Buckball sounded like it could be a pretty entertaining one. We've never really seen any sporting events in the show except for Wonderbolt shows so it was nice to see another aspect of sporting in Equestria (even if not very many have heard of it). I usually talk about how the episode shows some kind

Hi, everyone...

Just uploaded to the site a new one. 10,000 words. A few edits, and I'll make it live...

In the meantime, a few hints...

Ponyville purple, sky blue, and white...

Won against Appleoosa red...

Sure were a LOT of ponies in the stands...

Soooo...MAYBE it's time for Equestria to have a professional sports team...

And how they react to it...

I'm limited to five character descriptions...but the whole damn world has a part in this one, it seems...including me...

It's been a while since I arted, eh? Losing my iPad certainly has a lot to do with that. MS Paint just isn't the same. But I digress. The newest episode (which has a tragic but touching backstory) inspired me to start back up again. PDEP is back, baby!

As football (known in North America as soccer) is the world's most popular sport, it would be logical to assume that it would be the first international sports event to be revived in the post-Event world.

Please keep in mind that during a game, the two goalkeepers are the only players who can use their hands. Therefore, those returnee ponies and natural born ponies could play all other team positions without any problems.
