A long time ago I used to watch Wimbledon. Then Nastase, and later McEnroe, thought it was OK to abuse the umpires and question every decision that didn't go their way. They were allowed to scream and shout at the officials like spoilt brats which wouldn't have been allowed in any other sport. I stopped watching and never went back to it. Why didn't Wimbledon tell the pair of them to just fuck off?
If the participants screaming and shouting at officials if they don't like certain decisions puts you off a sport, I wouldn't bother with football. It's rife. There's one particular character, looks a bit like a rat, who spends 90mins every week doing it.
 
I used to play tennis and really loved it but I detest Wimbledon and its tweeness, from Dan Maskell always saying “oh this could be a serious injury” when a player fell over to the idiots shouting “come on Tim” or “come on Andy”, I hate it 100% and won’t watch a minute.

One of the highlights of the sporting year is the day it finishes.
Tweeness is the perfect word to describe them

No football player has ever matched McEnroe for abusing the officials, not even ratface of the swamp.
 
Speaking of vinyl I have boxes of the stuff in the loft I just couldn’t bring myself to get rid like most people did so on the back off that I’ve just dugout my old kenwood stack
The deck was fucked so bought a new decent deck and replaced the amp with one with Bluetooth and wifi built in.
Apologies for the shite off topic ramble
I should think so as well, we've got the 115 charges thread for all the off topic stuff
 
Ah but we are judged at a higher level.
Liverpool have never won 2 in a row never mind 4 and they have never been close to a treble. :-)
The won the League, European Cup and League Cup in the same season. That’s pretty close to a Treble but not the The Treble.
 
I was at Lords in 1996 for the Nat West final between Lancashire vs Essex when Lancs bowled them out for 57. The atmosphere was brilliant. Almost football like when the Essex wickets were tumbling
tbf, the atmosphere at Lords for a Test Match tends to be a lot more insipid than at Egdbaston, Trent Bridge, Old Trafford, Headingley, and even the Oval.
 
Yeah I remember it well.
Rag liars claiming they were helping England's bid to host the world cup by participating when the real reason was money.
They could have still entered the FA Cup if they had wanted to.

They wanted to be in the FA Cup but were trying to bully the FA into placing them in the latter rounds & they called their bluff.

They did, typical Rag arrogance.
Could have still entered and put out a team if they wanted to but their media shills wouldn't dare upset the Ayotollah Pisscan.
