Talk:British bulldog (game)

I've moved the following statement from the main article to the talk page. It appears not to be encyclopedic.

Curiously, The Law of the Playground refuses to put up an entry on the subject.

Article Quality

This entire article is really bad. There's no references and some really non-encyclopaedic content and tone. I've removed the absolute worst, and I'm going to tag it as unreferenced. I'm not even sure if this article is worth saving. Anyone feel like taking it on? Wibbble 03:57, 15 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I've added a refference to a UK Scouting Association website detailing one version of the rules. Unfortunately, this is about the best reference I can find. Being an informal game played by children, there are obviously few references that come from any kind of trusted source. I can personally vouch for the accuracy of the rules as described here, but that's obviously not worth very much. cchooper 00:16, 22 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The article would benefit from a reading of Children's Games in Street and Playground (Iona and Peter Opie, 1969) pp 138-142, noting especially their description of it as a street game. The article curretly switches to calling the game Bullrush, without explanation. --NebY (talk) 10:50, 25 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Just as an aside, this game is played, with the name of British Bulldog, by American Boy Scouts. Someone with an eye to altering the article may wish to bear this in mind.

just stopping by wondering why New Zealand isn't mentioned in this. it originated in New Zealand anyway. the politically correct stole it and renamed it British bulldog. do you even know why its called bull rush?
