I know if i had a ticket to the next 2 Test's i'd just sell them and go out on the piss all day instead.
yeah because getting to see this australian team which is quite simply awesome, in two of the best stadiums in the world is such a trial
its sport, entertainment first, winning second
Oh yes because i would love to pay thousands to watch Australia beat us!
Entertainment first, winning second? now you're talking bollocks, i go to watch Swindon every week and we play bad and win so your statement goes right out the window there.
whats the point in getting worried about something you have no control over
i mean im disappointed when england win at cricket or swindon at football but no more. its not my life its the eleven players on the field
and i didnt mean its all about entertainment and not about winning because if you can entertain and win then its the pinnacle in sport. what i meant is that its still easy to appreciate and enjoy watching australia play cricket even though its not the result i want because it is simply a pleasure watching people that talented and driven.
i suppose because swindon's footballers aren't talented and therefore cannot entertain it is all about results
fair enough when you yourself are involved it carries a heck of a lot more meaning because it is your life, your successes and failures decided in the main by your abilities and decision-making
im not saying im right because i know more people will disagree than agree, especially football fans, a lot of whom who base their lives around something they have no control over and those who have the control don't give a fuck about them on an individual level. however, i tend to think its a better perspective on sport.
plus it makes taking losing easier
