Tennis.

Specifically Wimbledon - which dominates the radio and TV too much when it is on.

And tennis on the radio is utter cobblers. Just doesn't work.

The problem with cycling isn’t the sport, it’s the people. I feel about cyclists, as many on here apparently feel about golfers.

The main difference is that only one of those groups is negatively impacting everyone else’s’ ability to go about their day.

Well indeed. All those plump middle age men in ridiculous 4WD's trying to pass me on a blind bend because they took too long over their full fried breakfast and are now late for their round with 'the lads', aka a bunch of other plump middle age men. Even more of a pain in the scrotum than my new racing saddle.

Rugby, at it's very best it is just about watchable, but any lower down than that it's awful pointless rubbish.

Hey, if you want to go about playing your sport whilst others are trying to get to work, then a sore scrotum seems like a fair trade

(obviously this is all playful. I’m sure not everyone who cycles is a self obsessed twat with a ravaged scrotum).

The rest of golf can go f*ck itself though.

All "sports" that require a panel of judges to tell us who won?

Gymnastics, figure skating, diving, break dancing, skate boarding, snowboarding etc.

All very talented participants, no doubt but give me a nice clear winner any day of the work. Furthest, highest, fastest, scored more goals. Even snooker and darts have a nice clearly defined winner so good luck to 'em.

The Hundred - absolute wank, and an affront to cricket loves and cricket haters alike.

I'm no great fanboy of basketball but feel it is getting harshly treated on here. Sure, it's American, stupidly high scoring, highly commercial and favours 7 foot tall freaks - but it's quite fun to actually play and for me at least absolutely spanks any sport that doesn't involve genuine physical exertion of some sort. So an overrated spectator sport IMO but a good sport to play.

Darts, snooker are not sports to me - I like them both, they are highly skilled, but they are decent pastimes IMO.

And just to reiterate, "motor sport" is wank. It is so bad that it has the word "sport" in its description because it's true name "driving" sounds as mundane as it actually is in reality. Plus how can you ever really tell who the best drivers are? You can't, because the fastest cars tend to win. It's like making Liverpool play in slippers, blind folds and no shin pads and then deciding West Ham are better when they win 10-0. And the drivers are often egotistical morons. And then there's the complete lack of action after the first bend and the stupidly unfair rules making a joke of the whole thing like that laughable bollocks in Abu Dhabi a couple of years ago. Driving is utter gubbins.

Agree.

Basketball is very skilled, there is a lot more to it than just running up and down, which is probably an opinion that comes from ignorance, much like mine with F1.

And as for negativity towards the NFL……

And this. You need to be able to measure a sport and who the winner is as a layman, but not have a handful of supposed experts decide who the best is. I agree completely.

I'd therefore add boxing to this unless matches only ended with a knockout or a towel throwing. No points decisions.

I’ve added up all the responses and it seems there are plenty on here would would much rather have a season ticket at Crawley Town than go to Lord’s for the Ashes, watch the Ryder Cup, go on a Lions tour, visit Monaco for the Grand Prix or catch the Melbourne Cup.

Each to their own and all that …..

BIG weekend coming up.

Can't wait - I see The Rams game has been moved - same KO time?

 

[Mellor 3 Ward 4]

I recently had a chat with an American - they don't really do draws or 'ties' as they call them.

He couldn't get his head round Test Cricket - match lasts 5 days and ends up as a draw.
