too much crawling around under desks in my job... they make a godawful clacking noise when I run now, and its very painful ><
Still play every now and again though, but I guess I've more or less hung up my boots

Hey is it a foul to slide and take someone down even if you get the ball?
 I've done it every now and then but it usually just depended on what the ref thought.

No.
If it's deemed to be a reckless challenge, it'll be a free kick and a booking. That generally means going in too fast, with both feet, and even though you're going for the ball you don't care too much about the bloke's legs. If it's deemed to be dangerous, you'll be sent off. That generally means jumping, having your studs raised, or caring less about hitting the ball than hitting the legs. Or else, if after you've hit the ball you trip, grab or hold the player (or try to) it'll be a foul. So careful.

Nah, I've never done THAT. I've always done it correctly and gotten the ball, except the other guy went flying through the air.
If I'm running straight at the ball I do a small hop and slam onto the floor, sliding with my right foot out and my left foot in, strike the ball (usually causing the other guy to jump up in surprise or trip AFTER I've slid past him) and jump back and get the ball. If I'm running alongside the guy with the ball I usually get on the side closest to my goal and do a small sprint to get a bit ahead and stick the foot closest to him out fall to the ground and slide towards out-of-bounds. I dunno if I explained quite correctly but that's how it runs through my mind Hasn't failed me yet

Well, as long as that works, it's all legal.

I've never really thought about tackling technique since I was taught it. I just do what seems right at the time. I just pile in and nick the ball. Couple shin scrapes don't go amiss either. I never really spent much time on my feet, but my sliding tackles were almost all perfectly timed
 Although, there was one time... it's tough to get sent off in kids' Sunday League footie, but I managed it, though to this day I swear I got the ball as the last man, even if the kid tripped and sprained his ankle

That's what I hate, you play the ball but the guy is too stupid to jump or move and trips over over you.
Most of the time I slide past fast enough for the guy to trip over his own feet so I don't get called out. After a while though they start getting rough at knocking me around to scare me, but I just stick my foot out, get the ball, and smile when they tip over
