mizfit Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 And lots of oiled up men wearing speedos and jumping on each other.. If you're over 11 and watch it you're OFTW. I remember my pal being properly seething when he realised Olympic wrestling was completely different to WWE and the like. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
19QOS19 Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 I've got news for you. It's not your definition that counts. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
19QOS19 Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 Snooker and darts are pub sports, golf is quite physically demanding as well and is not in the same category as snooker and darts. Is it though? I've never played golf so can't exactly comment. But it doesn't look like they break much sweat when you see them on the box. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1320Lichtie Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 That's another discussion entirely [emoji33]My definition of a sport is an activity where you're tested physically and are in competition. By my definition I wouldn't class Snooker, Golf, Darts, WWE, Archery and to a lesser extent Cricket as a sport. WWE would be the most physically demanding of those listed but as it's not competitive it doesn't make my cut. There should be a sub-category in Sport for these type of 'sports'. Golf isn't physically demanding? Are you joking me? Ok you don't have to be Mo Farah levels of fit but it's fucking knackering and you've got to be able to keep your form up for long periods of time. I'm usually knackered after a game, feel it big time on the legs. Cricket is also very physically demanding especially when you're batting, played it in Australia. Not sure how you could say that isn't physically demanding either. WWE isn't physically demanding, fucking Rikishi was a wrestler. What some of them do away from it is, weights etc, but that's just to look a certain way for their act. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The technical side of golf requires strength and coordination as well. John Daly? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The pro's don't do that themselves though do they? Then they've got their wee go-carts to take them to the ball Either way golfers will hardly need an ice bath after it. Cricket is demanding if you're batting which is why I said "to a lesser extent". If you're fielding and the ball doesn't come near you the biggest strain you'll have is sore feet from standing about. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boghead ranter Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 Websites that don;t tell you the password criteria in advance when you're registering, but only 'helpfully' tell you what you didn't include but should have after you've tried. "Your password doesn't meet the minimum of 8 characters" Then "You haven't used an upper case letter" Then "A special character is required". Special mention for the sites that, after you're eventually satisfied all the criteria above, say either "you can't include a recognisable word" or "You can't have 2 or more identical characters consecutively" Grrrrr. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
19QOS19 Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 I think 19QOS19 is just using football as a basis of comparison for all other sports/activities. I also don't see whats wrong with people getting excited for Wimbledon, its a great event and a great time of year. Not really. If folk are pishing sweat after an event then it's clearly physically demanding: Rugby, Squash, Tennis, Badminton etc. I'm not comparing Football. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
19QOS19 Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 Do you think people need to pish sweat for it to be a sport? Physically straining I'd say. If I ever hear such a saying as "Garcia/Barneveld was close to winning the title but fatigue set in..." I'l sincerely apologise to these 'Sports' 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MONKMAN Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 If people wanna watch Wrestling then each to their own It's comments like this, that make people think it's acceptable for grown men to watch wrestling. Just for record, it's not acceptable in anyway whatsoever. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AsimButtHitsASix Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 Wrestling's amazing. It's like Chinese opera or ballet. It's a story being told through physical actions. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll sometimes flick it on if I'm browsing. I find it absolutely hilarious viewing if I'm being honest, the acting is so awful and cheesy. I turn it off once they starting 'wrestling'. The trash talking is what I find amusing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm the opposite now because the "trash talking" is so fucking clichéd and recycled and scripted. Mind you I only really watch it at work now (apart from the PPVs) and, even then, only back or night shift. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

irvine_buddie Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 As it's Monday and I'm tired and grumpy.. lot's of PTTGOYN at work today. 1. People who come into your office and start chatting to you enthusiastically at 0745 in the morning.. get tae. 2. People who feel the need to make conversation with you just because you happen to be in the same room for 30 secs (ie kitchen, bathroom)..even if you barely know each other. 3. People who open the door of the microwave before its pinged then walk away and leave it ajar so when someone eventually closes it it's still on. 4. People. Just people in general. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unleash The Nade Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 (edited) Petrol stations that have Tescos, M&S, etc shops within and people that use them to do their weekly fucking shop. I've just queued for almost 20 minutes just to pay for petrol whilst two fat c***s purchased most of the contents off the shelves, taking up both payment points Why don't they have a "fuel sales only" till in these places?

Hedgecutter Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 They had the same 'sport' debate on TalkSport earlier today. Whichever roaster they had on with Jim White was saying that golf wasn't a sport and dug himself into a hole so deep he had to be adamant that tennis wasn't a sport either. His reasoning was that you'd struggle to die on a court. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
