I find sport tedious and dull and annoying
Consequently I hope that "Enger-land" or "Team GB" )or what ever stupid and tedious name they are going by in whatever retarded sporting event it happening this week) lose.

Not because I have any ill will towards the knuckle draggers who play this game, even though they represent the people who picked on my at school, get paid more in a day that I will in a life time while being devoid of redeeming qualities and are viewed as heroes for doing what they enjoy for money.

I hope they lose so people will shut. the. fuck. up. about the stupid thing and go back to talking about anything else in the world ever.

Why do you hope England lose?

Alt:why does all sport suck foetid diseased donkey balls?

The verb form of "loose" requires an object. If you meant "lose" then please correct your post forthwith.
If, however, you meant to write "What" instead of "Why," then my answer is: their bowels.

Lager, is OK too, as long as it's decent lager, don't really care about tomatoes one way or the other.

I don't recall having a go at people for liking sport, I was merely expressing my own dislike of it, somewhat exaggerated for comedic purposes.

The fact that people take it personally when you say you don't like sport is going on my list of reasons why I hate it.
( CQ Knows the truth, all of it., Wed 10 Aug 2011, 16:35, Reply)

yeah, you did
you wanted us to be actively unhappy about something so that you could take pleasure in that fact. That's pretty much having a go, albeit indirectly
( the mighty badger Aphrodite, on a bar stool, by your side, Wed 10 Aug 2011, 16:37, Reply)

This is one interpretation.
but it's about the same as me taking "sport is wonderful and I like it, why do you like it too?" as a personal attack, and I reckon I'd be a retard to do that.

Both are expressing a point of view and asking others to agree, just from different points of view. I'll grant you mind was rather negative, but it was also at least a bit tongue in cheek.
( CQ Knows the truth, all of it., Wed 10 Aug 2011, 16:42, Reply)

I wouldn't care either way
but now you're backing down. If you're going to be a miserable mary about something at least grow the stones to follow through on it.

and, it's not anything like the example you give. It would be the same as going "sport is wonderful and I enjoy actively taking pleasure in the fact you dislike it" ... in case you wondered.
( the mighty badger Aphrodite, on a bar stool, by your side, Wed 10 Aug 2011, 16:47, Reply)

I'll stand by what I said.
one sec, let me try and work out the opposite of you example.

"sport is horrid and I enjoy actively disliking in the fact you take pleasure in it"

I don't think that's what I said. It was pretty much "I don't like sport, and I hope that whatever team is playing loose so I don't have to hear about it" With a strong undertone of "sport sucks".

I'm trying to work how I'd feel if someone said this about a thing I like, but then they don't have special segments on the news for "a good book"...... I'm fairly sure I didn't chuck my toys out the pram when people made jokes about Terry Pratchet loosing his marbles and that's a think I care about.
( CQ Knows the truth, all of it., Wed 10 Aug 2011, 16:55, Reply)

I disagree but I suspect it's merely interpretation on both of our parts.
I'm not sure who's throwing any toys. I pointed out that you're being a miserable shit, which you can hardly disagree with, since not one single thing in your original post is anything other than negative. You can try and disagree with it though, if you like?

I also attempted to make something out of the thread by asking a follow-up question in the manner that your original thread was launched, offering you the option to discuss something of interest to you, but you chose to ignore it, so I can only assume you just want abuse.

I would slightly agree with this
with the exception of talking about the performance of a country where that country is your place of birth or residence, when "we" is clearly acceptable.

Although, it's not really that annoying now is it? It's not because the person actually thinks they are involved. It's because two teams are usually involved, and "they" is reserved for the team you don't support. Means using "we" simplifies things. Although, people could just use the team names I suppose.

Can I be Scottish?
I've not been there since I was 2 but I have a Scottish surname and just enough Scottish blood in my to be technically eligible to wear Tartan...

And I like it cold and wet and I'm pale blue and everything.

That would probably be qualification enough to get you on the Scotland team
assuming you could actually play, that is. Or not. They're not that picky. I think if you have your own football boots and your nan once went to Arbroath on a day trip, you're in.

I might even watch the match this evening. I could do with seeing my team get royally humped.

Steady, they beat Ireland

( the mighty badger Aphrodite, on a bar stool, by your side, Wed 10 Aug 2011, 17:25, Reply)

It's one of my favourite things about living up here. The sport
The Scottish (and the Welsh for that matter) genuinely hate the idea of England winning, will support anyone against them, and genuinely get upset about the whole thing. The English, on the other hand, barely care what happens to Scotland and Wales. If the Scottish and Welsh actually invested as much emotion in supporting their own team as they did into hating the English sporting teams they might even qualify for something one day.

It's quite sweet really. Silly Teuchters.
( the mighty badger Aphrodite, on a bar stool, by your side, Wed 10 Aug 2011, 17:11, Reply)

interesting.....
SO you think the emotion invested in supporting a team leads to their success? This would explain how people feel they are part of their team's victory. I hadn't realised this, it makes sense of a few things.
( CQ Knows the truth, all of it., Wed 10 Aug 2011, 17:14, Reply)

I know it makes a difference to me personally in playing sport
When you have strong support from the sidelines, yeah. I'm guessing that multiplies up when it's 50,000 people screaming for you.

I'm being facetious about the whole Scots/Welsh thing though - they are passionate supporters of their own teams really. It's just the hatred for English sporting teams even if they have nothing against actual English people that I find amusing.
( the mighty badger Aphrodite, on a bar stool, by your side, Wed 10 Aug 2011, 17:17, Reply)

well, it helps explain the 'we' thing a bit for me.

I agree with you about club stuff, I just feel there are more important things to worry about in the world than that
but internationals, they represent their countries so they represent the people, so "we" is OK in my mind.
( the mighty badger Aphrodite, on a bar stool, by your side, Wed 10 Aug 2011, 17:24, Reply)

I'm not even sure about that in politics, never mind sport.
But that's a discussion for another day I think.

Suffice it to say that for me personally someone does not represent me just because they were born in the same geographical area, I am aware most people feel differently.

I'll just about allow some one represents me if I voted for them and they got in, but this very rarely happens.
( CQ Knows the truth, all of it., Wed 10 Aug 2011, 17:28, Reply)

I'm not saying you have to think "we"
If you don't feel they represent you, then that's fine, I'm just saying that if I think they do then it's OK for me to say "we"

although, I'd never have fucking picked Ravi Bopara so perhaps I should go back to "they"
( the mighty badger Aphrodite, on a bar stool, by your side, Wed 10 Aug 2011, 17:32, Reply)

That's probably a big reason why they hate us.
They know we think they're irrelevancies because we've been the dominant country since the dawn of nations in Britain.
( Kroney, Wed 10 Aug 2011, 17:16, Reply)

Too true.
The amount of nationalist sentiment that our celtic fringe and colonial adolescents bring to the table whenever an England game is afoot is quite astonishing. For England the grudge games are against Germany and to a lesser extent the French or the Americans, depending on the sport. When it comes to 'playing' England, the Scots imagine themselves to be in some alternate Mel Gibson-created universe where every last one of them believes that their mother was subjected to prima nocte...

It troubles me just a little bit
that some folk seem to invest so much emotion in the outcome of what my school quaintly but correctly referred to as 'games'. That said, I'm a misanthrope and consequently love boxing. Watching an impoverished Mexican and black ghetto hustler kick the hail Mary out of each other - for my pleasure - makes my testes chink and fizz like ice in a fresh gin & tonic. They're really hurting each other. On purpose! I don't care who wins and, for a few precious moments, all is right with the world.
So, in conclusion, every sport but boxing sucks foetid, diseased donkey balls.

Reminds me of a story I heard about an upper-class type being interviewed at University, possibly one of the newer ones.
He was asked "Do you do any sport?" and replied "Well, I hunt, shoot and fish". The tutor replies "Oh, no, I mean football, rugby, that kind of thing." "Oh," ripostes the chap, possibly sneering just a mite, "you mean 'games' ".
