ponsaelius Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 England, India and Australia have all done their utmost to keep cricket as a shitty minority colonial sport. This is total nonsense as is your assertion about the English running the game - and also, in cricket, there is TV examination of disputed calls, something which your corrupt heroes in FIFA have done everything to try to avoid - have you been reading the Grauniad guide to Political Correctness..!? For a start, cricket only allows 10 countries to play the full version of the sport, possibly one of the most ridiculous restrictions in any sport anywhere in the world. Then for the World Cup, a tournament by its very nature should least make an attempt to be inclusive and give the game to a greater audience, they've pulled the drawbridge up for associate nations meaning there'll probably not be any of them at the next competition. Last year the big 3 countries literally changed the voting system within the ICC to give themselves more power than everybody else, and made sure to secure that 62% of all revenue will go directly to those 3 countries. Cricket is a sport that revels in its colonial past and the fact that its a sport played by only a handful of countries. And that's why it'll always remain a joke compared to football which has expanded and grown continually since its beginnings. Video refereeing in football would be absolutely dreadful. Evidence: rugby being fucking unwatchable, stop-start bollocks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beren Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 I kinda get the associate nation thing - doesn't do the naff-cricketing nations much good being battered at a World Cup by Australia/India. In terms of future barriers to entry for those nations, I'm not sure. If there' s the appetite and the ability to compete, then I think there should be a mechanism to open the doors to new nations.

ponsaelius Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 I don't think it affects rugby too badly at all. Adds to it if anything. That's not to say it would be the same for football. I only watched one full match at the World Cup; the opener against Fiji. The amount of time spent looking at replays - and 50% of which they still didn't come to conclusive evidence - was mental. To the point where it put me off watching the rest of the tournament it was that bad. This is a sport that has natural breaks in play all the time and it still seemed excessively counterproductive to the flow of the game. Doing it in football, a sport that has no stoppages and very few breaks in play, would absolutely ruin the sport in my opinion. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
