Superstar Tradesman Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 Bullshit. Running round a playground going "BRRRRRRRRR" doesn't make you a race car driver, nor does owning a car and 'going fast' a la Ricky Bobby. If you buy a car, enter it into some sort of competition, then guess what, you're now part of the motorsport world. You're still not an F1 driver though. There's only 20 of those in the world who are good enough or privileged enough to have made it that far. Football as you say only needs two people (unless you're happy to play keepie-ups for hours on end), a ball and a couple jumpers. It's all about accessability. That's why F1 will always be a minority sport no matter how many millions tune in to watch those 20 guys tearing round a track. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
He-Man Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 But playing football in the park puts you on a par with Thierry Henry playing for Barcelona though? Can't have it both ways which is what you've suggested with your football is football quote. Fundamentally it is but top level isn't the same as World Cuppy down the park with your buddies. A child racing round Knockhill is part of the motorsport world, a child playing football in the park is part of the football world. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superstar Tradesman Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 Aye, and who are competing in F1? Football is football. You're likening motorsport to ball games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
He-Man Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 Aye, and who are competing in F1? Football is football. You're likening motorsport to ball games. Is headers and volleys the same as the world cup final? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BobbyBiscuit Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 Can someone just swallow their pride, admit they are wrong and we can draw a line under this tedious shite? Christ, someone is wrong on the internet! Only sensible post in this thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kowalski Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 I still think it is a minority sport based on how many people watch it. If a few million in a population of billions watch it then that's a minority no matter how you look at it. Population of the UK is 60(ish) million?

Superstar Tradesman Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 OK, we've all went off subject a little. No need for hard feelings, let's all kiss and make up. Right, who's all up for a game of F1? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goldie03 Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 Yes Miss, it is a lot of boring rubbish. How are you today, did you enjoy shopping? I did thank you - I bought lots including new trainers which I now don't like and went for coffee and ate cream cakes and talked about Jordan and lipstick Ooh and also how hot Jenson Button is getting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kowalski Posted June 19, 2009 Share Posted June 19, 2009 F1 teams drop breakaway bombshell http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/motorsport/formula_one/8108488.stm First season back on proper TV without adverts, and they're already talking about a breakaway league. The BBC must be delighted. I like motorsport, but F1 is looking stupid yet again with all the off the track politics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobbyBiscuit Posted June 19, 2009 Share Posted June 19, 2009 A group from my office are being taken to Silverstone at the weekend, free drinks all day etc. I hate motor sport, it's dull as fuck as far as I'm concerned but would quite like to have experienced being there. Ok, I wanted to go for the freebies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edinburghdon Posted July 26, 2009 Share Posted July 26, 2009 What a freak accident to Massa yesterday. Fuck that looks nasty! was watching qualifying when it happened and it seems like such a freak accident, Massa didnt even need to do another qualifying lap either, was already through to the next qualifying round! Fractured skull above his eye socket as well as the base of his skull, nasty stuff! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manc_don Posted July 27, 2009 Author Share Posted July 27, 2009 Apparently he's woken up from an enforced coma and is moving his limbs and communicating. Not talking yet though. Looks like a horrible injury! Good win for Hamilton yesterday, I wonder if his dad is getting annoyed at his girlfriend acting like a fanny in the pit!

CtS Posted July 27, 2009 Share Posted July 27, 2009 Jesus that's a terrible picture, look how swollen he is to the left of his left eye. I know nothing about these helmets but I'm guessing the weakest point would be the visor? A couple of inches across and he wouldn't have had a chance.
