In memory of Phillip Hughes
Sometimes the veil between this life and the life beyond becomes very thin On behalf of all the betfair threadsters [ This image is no longer available. ] |

Very moving funeral.
A couple of the cricketers' partners need to have a think about how self absorbed and self obsessed they are that they felt the need to wear skimpy figure hugging outfits that flashed their boobs or gripped their backside. Classless....it wasn't a fashion event.......it wasn't about you. |
|
By:
You just made it about them. You have no idea their intentions when they got dressed so not sure why you feel the need to judge them? And considering you who would rather concentrate on tits and ass, maybe it is you that is classless.
|
|
By:
yes. You're right of course BJT. They should've turned up in bikinis.
There's a little thing called being respectful and dressing modestly. But you feel free to have a parade of t and a when a member of your family passes away....... |

By:
Watched parts of funeral....never saw anything disrespectful....(not to say not there,,,but never saw anything but appropriate funeral attire)
|

So you didn't see it.....yet you're offering an opinion.....facts never were your strong point
 |
|
By:
Btw BJT, I watched the funeral with the females of my family. They were the first to find the outfits offensive.
Are you suggesting they were focused on boobs? That was the second dumbest comment you have ever made on the forum. If I notice a footballer wearing ballet shoes instead of footy boots does that mean I have a foot fetish? |
|
By:
And now let's examine the dumbest comment...You have no idea their intentions when they got dressed
They were going to a FUNERAL. When someone lunges at me with a knife I can't be certain they intend to stab me, but I can make a an educated guess. When someone dresses like a tart to attend a funeral I can't be sure of their intentions.....but I can make an educated guess  Anyway, that'll do me......the forum has gone to wrack and ruin....populated by homophobes and belligerent horse owners. |

By:
Perhaps they had to go to work after the funeral

I didn't see anything slutty whoopi. Tabloid journalism has made the WAG a celebrity. This doesn't sit well with most people, so people judge the WAGs. Constantly. If it was some scrapper nobody from nowhereville wearing exactly the same thing at the same funeral, you probably wouldn't have noticed. And if you did, you would have glazed over it for half a second and never thought of it again. But these chicks are hot, we can't shag em but we really want to, and they have a virtual free ride through life because of their hotness. And that makes us mad so we find ways to justify being mad, like worrying about their attire at the funeral of people we have never met.

Interesting thread.
 Contributions from everyone ....... from schoolboys to vermin!Firstly, a very sad outcome from a freak occurrence.  Reminds me of the intos to various Six Feet Under episodes.Sheeeesh, the imagination simply can't fathom all the ways we humans are vulnerable to freak circumstance. Anyhoo, the unfortunate incident... I understand. The mass outpouring of emotion...I simply don't. I never attended a funeral until I was 30. I'll make an assumption here...... A LOT of those present today wouldn't have ever attended a funeral before, Lots of naive pretty-young-things included.  |

well spun this is cricket
IMO...most boring game and simply gambling fodder for players......can do anything at any time...no integrity committees or no stewards....WD to the players contriving so many close finishes Not deserving of the TV coverage it gets... But hey we'd all be doing the odd drop of the ball for a lazy quarter of a million dollars.....(just like our Olympic swim team ...no doze tablets days before the big event) Human nature...the quick buck |

By:
An interesting bloke you are Henry. An ardent horse racing fan paying out on another sport for being gambling fodder and not deserving of the coverage... Agree about the boring, but the 20/20 style of cricket is great. The long format is horrendous viewing.

Horse racing v, Cricket...Integrity...
Horse racing has stewards and endless integrity checkpoints.... Cricket has ....... ???? players with so much chose to do anything to manipulate a match outcome.... At least one looks like it is trying to keep it all as honest as possible... (Success or otherwise is another topic)  News 4 December New Zealand lawmakers have unanimously passed a bill which will give police increased powers to tackle match-fixing ahead of next year's Cricket World Cup. The bill passed this week will become law before the World Cup in February and March and ahead of football's under-20 World Cup in New Zealand in May and June and makes match fixing a criminal offense in New Zealand for the first time. Offenders face terms of up to seven years in prison. Sports minister Jonathan Coleman welcomed the passing of the bill and said "match-fixing is a growing problem internationally and it is the No 1 threat to the integrity, value and growth of sport. In New Zealand we are not immune to this growing threat." Former New Zealand test batsman Lou Vincent received a life ban from cricket earlier this year after admitting his involvement in match fixing in competitions in 12 countries. |

I was also getting both those vibes but in the circumstances gave it all the benefit of the doubt.......thought my anti-cricket feelings seeping through......so I went back to feeding my unicorns  |

Pleeeaaasssseee....................anyone who thinks 20/20 is where cricket is at, doesn't understand cricket at all. The 20/20 game has turned cricket into carnival BASEBALL. The best bowlers in the world getting slugged for 30 runs in an over is just swing feast, and batsman turned into baseball sluggers is not cricket at all.

your typical of the young sports fans today henry, a quick in and out, wham bam thank you man. we want immediate gratification and we want in now! you like so many younger sports fans are all about external quickly attained pleasure and have lost the art of appreciation of the internal strengths (in all walks of life for that matter)
The concentration of a batsman on his way to a double century (or even 100 in test cricket)is unsurpassed in any team sport. the 5 day tests are a cruelling test of physicality and mental strength which is hard to find a comparison in any sport today. and as for comparing corruption between horse racing and cricket, what a ludicrous notion. |

your typical of the young sports fans today henry, My conspiracy theories interfere with any enjoyment of any sport where their is a betting market....sorry Logroller..mistaken me for another want immediate gratification and we want in now! you like so many younger sports fans are all about external quickly attained pleasure Nope again not me....immediate money...dash for cash...yes.... The concentration of a batsman on his way to a double century (or even 100 in test cricket)is unsurpassed in any team sport. the 5 day tests are a cruelling test of physicality and mental strength I little bit over the top IMO ....thoughts on their minds as they walk to the crease are more gambling oriented IMO  Describing IMO pre-betfair and other easily accessible betting platforms Think you are describing some imagery from the 15 years ago......sorry...wait...: On 7 April 2000, Delhi police revealed they had a recording of a conversation between Cronje and Sanjay Chawla, a representative of an Indian betting syndicate, over match-fixing allegations. Three other players, Herschelle Gibbs, Nicky Boje, and Pieter Strydom, were also implicated. After an enquiry by the King Commission, Cronje was banned from playing or coaching cricket for life.[24] He challenged his life ban in September 2001 but on 17 October 2001, his application was dismissed.[25] After 13 years on July 22, 2013 the Delhi Police registered an First Information Report for match-fixing in 2000, the chargesheet in the case involving a few South African cricketers including its former captain Hansie Cronje, was finally filed. The scandal is touted to be one of the biggest ever to have hit international cricket. Maybe a bit of sand in the hair there Logroller Hmmm..maybe a bit harsh in my reply ..perhaps prompted by your remarks to me ....(thanks for the "young".. ) ....Good that you can still enjoy cricket without conspiracy theories in your head.....I better go and feed the unicorns  |

oh come on Henry............u bring up a cricket scandal from 14 years ago pleeeaaasssseeee. I only have to look back to last week to bring forward another racing scandal.
u think I'm a bit over the top on my praise of a test cricketer, yet u don't try and trump me with an alternative sport/sportsman (actually a good topic for debate) "immediate money...dash for cash...yes...." staring you in the mirror mate, you just don't see it yet. I'm sure your unicorns are extremely over weight, so start to cut back on the feed bags. |

To some degree I am talking through jealously.....I find it extremely difficult to luv sport with a gambling opportunity connected to it..... To show you my sincerity on that statement I now find myself wandering if that pose of muhammad ali standing over sonny liston (classic poster) was contrived and dare I say it Rufus young blood -gay adam titanic battle to please us all at albion park that night.....I push back these conspiracy theory thoughts to retain continued passion for those moments frozen in time... So I salute your maintained passion for cricket as a sport pure of indecencies that have invaded many other sports. I have committed money and time to my belief that many outcomes of many sports is contrived hence my full time commitment to betfair graphs and trading patterns (from perspective of a layer) so I must maintain my belief that gambling has contaminated the purer aspects of sport. Each day (for hours that would exceed normal working hours) I take a forensic look at horse races and other sporting matches and am pleased to say that I enjoy doing it immensely and wouldn't continue if there wasn't positive outcomes.... So I have to "knock" as a knee jerk reaction to glorifying statements while at the same time there may be a bit of concealed envy...... All good logroller ........  |
