I didn't say it's dull par se. I actually said baseball is dull. I was only comparing the size of sports and wages
Correct. It's not about the scoreline, it's about approach and style. But nor you you play free flowing and exciting football to get a 1-0 victory. It happens of course, but it's not planned.
no result is plenned... unless of course you are utd (according to some on here) Both teams have a say. You do your best. IMO all you are saying is this is an entertainment industry and providing a show is their job not to grind a dull result out. Now.... Its all building towards the end of season and ultimate result so like TV, a slow episode might be required to fill in from time to time and drama every week is wearing just as knowing the result ahead of time (4-0 city) is boring. So if you view football as a pure entertainment series, or as a one of spectacle or as a road to the real big day you will consider a game differently. If i watch juve v man utd as a "neutral" on a one of basis, I might not see either team for 2 months again so I might consider that a crap game. It depends on what actually happened. I didn't see it but heard juve were wasteful and utd were clinging on and got 2 late goals. for some the drama might have made it great. If i watch LFC v red star as a one off I'm sure it was bloody awful to watch If I watch city on a one off winning 6-0 or 6-1 last weekend. I might think on the one off it was amazing. However if i'm a city fan I would probably think result is foregone conclusion in games by now. I might only be up for the utd game this weeked as that result might be in doubt and all those big result might be meaningless.
"Let me put it this way. Baseball for me is as dull as cricket" Above is a direct quote from your post on page 6
Completely agree with you pulling him up for that. Baseball is much more exciting than cricket, and I find baseball dull too
To be honest, Bindiana has put it the way i wanted, im not bothered about the score (as long as we win), its the performance that matters, we beat west ham 4 nil, but where not great and that has led onto more and more middling showings. Id rather we started looking the real deal, really controlling the game and come away with a one nil, than carry on below par but smash 6 past a ****e team. If Bindiana had mentioned the word performance 3 pages ago, i would have new what i was looking for, so im blaming him. Ha Ha
that's a relativistic equation. it could.be cricket and baseball are.equally as dull but far more exciting than lawn bowls for example.
have you even been to either..... baseball is extremely extremly dull. cricket as.i have said has sought to create.new.forms.to be more exciting
No but I have played cricket for a season. I've no intention of doing. I don't even know how baseball works
don't you hate when some young uppity wideboy comes along and just smashes all the bowls it took 30mins to slowly roll down there.
