That's not really a fair comparison. Cricket and tennis are clear cut decision more in line with goal line technology which works 99.9% of the time. Rugby is similar but is still down to the referee's interpretation and can be controversial, the main difference is rugby people are traditionally less critical of the referee's.

No, the main difference is that all of the match officials discuss (4 in total) and reach a consensus to make a decision. That removes individual interpretation from the matter entirely.

There are still controversial decisions, but they are far, far less common than in football.

Yes. I love Martin but he is consistently blowing out of his arse after 60 minutes.

I don't agree with the whole crash and burn, but I also cannot see how this is not Chinas fault - unless the whole World are being lied to from where it originated. I will agree the Government(s) all around were not prepared, but if it didn't happen in the first place they wouldn't need to be prepared would they?

The point here is that unless it was a manufactured virus then no one is "responsible". You can reduce the risk of viruses being created but never completely eradicate it here so playing the blame game here is utterly absurd.

Typical, push me for a answer then start crying when you don't agree.  Bless. 

 

Far from tears. You chaps are making this quarantine quite entertaining.

No please do. There's been a lot of not bothering going around.

Ok I'll pander to you. Let's call me John . 

John is a self employed Carpenter with a small cabinet making business.  John has a 9 year old daughter.  John enjoys football on a Saturday and spending time with his wife and family. Now one day some sick minded Chinese person who likes to stuff live animals in cages so they can eat them ,sometimes alive ! Scoffs down **** knows what bat, lizard ,dog ,******* unicorn maybe and guess what this new virus is born. Obviously they didn't think it would happen, apart from the fact it had happened a few years previously.  Now back to John and his boring life . Suddenly John's family are in danger his older frail relatives have to self isolate and are in real danger of death due to underlying health issues.  John's business is ****** it relied on working in people's homes. Now John is home Schooling his daughter because obviously all the schools are closed. They can only leave their home for essentials which are sometimes difficult to get because of panic buying .This situation is repeated in every city across the world . So to summarise  

                 **** YOU CHINA.

 

Hope this helps.

So, let me get this straight. You "hope China burns" because you think a virus was born because "some sick minded Chinese person" ate a bat or lizard? What makes them sick-minded to you?

You claimed that this has been predicted by "the experts" for many years. Despite the warnings, you have nothing to say about the governments that failed to adequately prepare?

Nothing to say about the people ignoring governmental instructions when they finally came?

Nothing to say about the fact that the situation in China has been relatively well managed, compared to the rest of the world?

If you truly want what is best for the world right now, please keep your narrow-minded, bigoted and downright xenophobic thoughts to yourself. We don't need people like you.

Who the **** do you think you are exactly  ?  

Oof. Easy on the fragile ego there.

I'm just a guy that is genuinely curious as to why you violently refuse to expand on why you would single out a country and wish suffering upon them as a consequence of this global problem.

Or can't be bothered to explain myself to brain dead idiots. Try googling wet markets of China, or maybe read the book published in 2011 predicting this exact thing and how it would start. But yeah a baseless agenda you absolute belter. Now toddle off and bury your head .

"Educate yourself" isn't going to cut it I'm afraid. I would honestly like to hear more about your stance on this.

Oh okay. Shy away from actually explaining your position when someone calls you out on your baseless agenda. Cool.
