That's okay, but he shouldn't have quoted my post in his reply. He should have responded directly to Meat & Spuds.sjk2008 said:jimharri said:Excuse me? Can you show me where I said ALL (your capitals) sprinters? And where did I say they were arrogant? So please; don't accuse me of ignorance when you're the one putting words into my mouth.

He comes from a poor background & carries the hopes & dreams of a nation of 2.7 million people on his shoulders . He's said many times in the past that he wants to retire as early as possible because he struggles to cope with the demands & expectations heaped on him.
The antics that he displays before running are just his way of coping with the pressure of competition & he has ALWAYS behaved the same even as a junior. When you say 'ALL' sprinters what you need to understand is the cultural differences between Americans, West Indians & the British. The British are renowned for their reserved demeanour whilst the Americans & Jamaicans in particular are known for their demonstrative nature. Please don't take what comes to them naturally as 'arrogance' because all you are showing is your ignorance of the cultural nature of the world's fastest men.......
I think his response was also to Meat & Spuds who did say 'all'.
Who's having a go at the English culture? Read my post carefully & tell me where!

I say that as a reserved Englishman, it's in my nature to say such things and I was brought up that way. By having a go, at English people, on an English based forum, with a reserved mentality, you are showing your ignorance of the English culture.

You are having a go at the English culture. I am of the English culture where people that act like preening dicks are called as such, which seems to upset you "as you have followd Bolt's career". If you accept that they we are all culturally different, you should accept that the English culture may frown upon such preening and get your knickers in less of a twist.Dribble said:Who's having a go at the English culture?

It's you whose showing your ignorance by claiming they look like preening dicks instead of just trying to understand that culturally they are different to us. If you want to have a go about cultural differences, do it on another thread & don't hide behind the 2012 Olympic 100 metres final ffs.

And I am not hiding behind anything dibble. The winner of the 100m generally always acts like a tit after winning when compared with the winners of other events. It is hardly sensational to say so. And it has been such for as long as I can remember. Even before the final last night, rather than just a wave at the camera when they are annouced, they each have their own special "move", like "the beast". You don't see that before the marathon, mens coxless 4, clay pigeon shooting or anything else do you.
I shall add "ffs" now, to add further emphasis.
FFS!
So I suppose when Aguero scored the last minute winner that you thought everyone should stop munching their cucumber and water cress sandwiches, say hurrah and applause politely? Dunno about you mate but I and everyone around me went absolutely mental!SWP's back said:You are having a go at the English culture.

I suppose that by your reckoning that after scoring the winner, Aguero should have just walked over to his team mates and shook hands? Dunno about that one either because just like me the players and the vast majority of Manchester City fans went mental too!!
You may have some kind of repressive syndrome that needs medical attention, but when it comes to others not being as stiff in their demeaour as you obviously are, you need to wind your neck in and let people be what they are and do as they see as best for them in the heat of battle!!
It's all about sports psychology and the removal of doubt in ones mind before an event. Some rely on prayer, some on solitude, some on music and others on strutting about to psych themselves up. Ali used to get into his opponents faces before battle, Baconface uses mind games, I've seen athletes incite the crowd to chant their names and to cheer them on to victory, so why have you got a problem with it!
If you don't like the way 100m sprinters conduct themselves, don't bust a blood vessel, just wind your neck in and don't watch them....... It's as simple as that!
The only straw here fella is the one your flakey argument is made of. I don't mind others disagreeing with my point of view, because if eveyone agreed with me, they be right of course but what a boring forum this would be. :-)SWP's back said:Well done on the huge strawman you built, so I'll ignore that as it is not relevant.Dribble said:So I suppose when Aguero scored the last minute winner that you thought everyone should stop munching their cucumber and water cress sandwiches, say hurrah and applause politely?

I also didn't burst any blood vessel. I said they look like preening dicks and I am very relaxed about it as they do. You are the one coming up with stories of ADHD, his upbringing, their culture and getting upset over. I couldn't give a fuck. They look like preening dicks. And I'll be winding nothing in, if it's all the same to you flower.
If you don't like others disagreeing then maybe an open forum isn't the best place to be.
