Joe Root calls for a reduction in county cricker

[brandon]

He doesn’t debate at all

I don’t debate with you anymore. I learned my lesson on that one a loooooooooooooooooong long time ago. You aren’t capable of reasonable debate or critical thinking.

However I’ve raised a fair few points to you why Durham fans would be annoyed and pissed off.

A few valid points I believe

Indeed, which were completely ignored by him because that’s what he does. Further explaining my reasoning above.

 

[chunkyshanhawk53]

He doesn’t debate at all, he just calls anybody who dares says or even considers reducing any county games all the names under the sun.

Any pundit, ex cricketer in fact anybody at all who otherwise has had distinguished careers are wankers, pricks etc over night as soon as they suggest the above.

Other posters debate he just insults anybody and everybody who suggests reducing county games

You get way too upset that someone is called a nasty name. Whilst calling someone a prick is hardly big or clever, that seems to be your only retort.

“Play fair” doesn’t mean you actually ignore the entire argument.

You call every ex-cricketer, wanker, prick etc the moment they suggest anything you don’t agree with.

Not to mention never giving credit to opposition teams for good play, and of course the umpires always wankers and biased against your team as well.

See above. You’re so obsessed with being seen to be morally superior, you can’t actually look at the point

This isn’t court, its not parliament, it’s not Oxford Union, it’s like a pub.

Get past the nasty words and actually address the point

Not upset just no respect for certain board members who resort the name calling rather than debating

And you don’t debate for that very reason.

I genuinely don’t think you like sport very much. You’re not passionate about it. You like the spectacle at times. But you don’t support anyone. You are quite happy if the Mags win

That’s your choice. But others are passionate about their sport. And you don’t understand it.

I’ve made a few points which you have totally ignored Marra

So when people try offer you debate you pick certain areas and ignore,

And it seems to be the voice of fair play only counts if it’s your opinion and thats what it is an opinion.

I was debating the point in the thread above earlier with posters earlier in the evening until one certain aggressive poster arrived with his normal insults which I simply have no respect for

Your retort to me about anyone wanting international cricket in May was utterly facile frankly

To be fair mate, there's been absolutely no debating from you on this thread apart from you telling people that because the likes of Root and Buttler have served England well as players then we should respect what they say no matter what. Which is mental.

Well you could not be further away from the truth.

I have always played sport from early age football, cricket and now golf for 40 odd years

Not passionate about any particular team, happy for the best team in a sport playing a attractive way be it football or cricket to win a game.

If Newcastle, Sunderland, Durham or England win a game of sport playing the right way, I am happy

Never seen the need to insult or hate others supporters as sport to me about enjoyment not hate

Bloke is an absolute fruit mate. Honestly, you’re wasting your time.

You’ve just proven my point.

You like the spectacle, and the skill and the event. But you’re not passionate about it.

Coward.

Again, it is IMPOSSIBLE to debate with you. You’ve literally ignored every single bit of debate that has been put to you on this thread.

See above. You’re so obsessed with being seen to be morally superior, you can’t actually look at the point

Most oxymoronic username in the history of internet forums.

I think you confusing passionate about sport and the way it should be played and conducted.

And passionate about a particular team.

First one I certainly am second one not

We get it, you like fair play. That’s all very well.

But if you would be equally happy with Australia beating England because they play nice cricket, or the Mags beating Sunderland (or vice versa) then you don’t understand how others think about competitive sport

Unless it’s a massive wind up, this absolute view that “fair play trumps all” is baffling.

It’s lovely in a way, but so divorced from virtually everyone else on the planet

Do you think the same about politics?

I think that the third and four paragraphs explain a lot about the views you hold.

Which is fine, but you have to understand that they're wildly different to 99% of sports fans on the planet.

I think sport is about respect, competitiveness and giving your all for the team but at the same accepting good play from the opposition and shaking hands at the end.

The iconic exchange between Brett Lee and Flintoff at the end of the second test in 2005 is what sport is about for me two players giving their all for their side but at same time respecting the opposition.

It’s not at least for me about hating the opposition and calling and slating them at every opportunity.

I make no excuses mate for that oulook as it’s totally genuine
