I Dont' Like Cricket, Oh No, I Love it, Yeah

[Barry O'Speedwagon]

Thanks for reinforcing my point. The term is open to interpretation.
Clearly, and thankfully, in this country, it has never been seen as derogatory.

Yeh, I know some blokes (both Indian and Pakistani of origin) who live here (and were born here) and who do find it derogatory (depending on context), such as when people are complaining about the behavior of people from a particular country or team. Hence my point was to at least allow people to consider how some terms can be interpreted. If they want to keep using those terms, well that's fine. Just do so in the knowledge that some people might find it offensive .

I work with many Pakistani's and to be honest i have never once even thought to shorten the name to the word that shall not be mentioned.......

Just like i wouldn't refer to Indian's as Indi's, and i work with even more Indian's than i do Pakistani's.

Anyways, now all the media are on Smith's side.......WTF? Let's hope they leave the boys alone to their support networks and they can move on and hopefully come back from this and make up for what they have done, regardless of how harsh this penalty is in comparison.

 

[Barry O'Speedwagon]

Im convinced with warner ... always have been ... he's a dick

Oh he's certainly a dick. Just a question of whether he's worse than that.

 

[Suitman]

True. He is an entertaining opening batsman .... but still a dick

Yep.

 

[Joely01]

What was with those 2day FM f**kwits?
Did anyone hear what their question was or did they just want a bit of publicity laying the boot in?

He said something about he doesn’t reckon it was anywhere near as bad as the cheating Davina and Dean did on MAFS

What a dead shit.

 

[Bazal]

Honestly I've never met a Paki who felt that Paki was derogatory, although obviously I understand the British connotation.

Hell there have been, in my time as an LMS player, Pakistani sides called Paki-Roos and The Electric Pakis.

I was mad at Smith when it all happened, but after seeing his press conference this evening...man, honestly...I feel so sorry for the bloke.

Yes, he f**ked up - but he has always been a cleanskin.

I felt really sorry for Smith.

f**k Warner, though.

 

[Eelementary]

Personally, I think that they are still a close knit team (maybe except for Warner) and are still not prepared to incriminate each other. I can understand why they would do that.
I also think, that this was Warners doing, (my opinion) and no one is prepared to speak up against him.
Anyone notice that out of the 3, Warner is the only one not being made to make a front a press conference? Anyone notice that Smith refused to comment about Warner?

I felt really sorry for Steve Smith during that press conference. In fact, I got quite emotional seeing him having to go through that. Smith is a decent bloke and his major problem probably is that he is too nice.
It's my opinion that this scheme was concocted by another player, and Smith just didn't have the balls to this player that it's just not on. This player may or may not be someone who has had issues in this series previously.

I really hope that Steve Smith has a strong and supportive family and support staff.
Trevor Chappell wrote the other day that he still suffers from his under arm incident. Never received any help and still cops it.
In this day and age, surely that can't be allowed to happen again.

I agree completely.

I felt so, so sorry for Steve watching that press conference.

f**k David Warner - what a waste of oxygen he is.

It's because you too are a decent man, my friend. I felt sorry for him too. What happened here is a leadership issue. Lehman needs to go too. He oversaw all the shit sledging and bad culture and did sweet f**k all. That is why they as a leadership group had the immaturity, arrogance and stupidity to try and pull this off.

Warner, however, is garbage. His papers should be marked to never play for Australia again and I actually think that unofficially they are.

I hope Warner never represents Australia again.

And the less said about Lehman, the better!

Lehmann is staler than two week old bread, cannot believe he's looking like coming out of this with a job.

It's absolutely ludicrous when you see some of the things that have come out about Warner in the fallout from this that it was allowed to happen and continue the way it did

 

[Incorrect]

I remember watching a segment on TV years ago showing Warner with his mum and where they lived when he was growing up... And I remember thinking f**k me this bloke is lucky he can hit a cricket ball because I can't imagine what he would have ended up otherwise...

The twitterverse is 100% behind Smithy.

They are also hunting down the f**kwit who took the piss about some Married at First Sight comment.

Apparently he’s from the Kyle & Jackie O Show.

Gents, we have a new most hated man in Australia.

 

[TheParraboy]

I don't get Kyle and jacki-o, they are utter wankers

jacki is limper than a dead lettuce leaf
kyle is an over rated self absorbed git

Id rather Ricky Stuart and Sandow come back to Parra than listen to those two

My question is....how dumb and selfish and stupid are the idiots who listen to them on a daily basis. I mean how f**king stupid do you have to be? Without these morons (apologies...sort of...to any listeners) merkins like this don't exist.

Does anyone know what he actually asked at the end?

Something about how there was worse cheating on mafs. In fairness, though it was ill-timed, classless and not very funny, I doubt he's one the journos who should be most ashamed of their behaviour over the last few days.

Well maybe. Still sounds like a prime cock-muncher. This is from a team who hounded a nurse in the UK to her death. Complete gutter trash humans.

started off along the lines "Steve.... on our show we did a poll ....and you by no means have cheated as badly as Dean on married at first sight......"

and they quickly cut to another question, I don't think Steve knew or cared what the dickhead was going on about
