Read my post again and try to understand what is being said before running your mouth.
Idiots from both sides.....ok explain me this so that I can stop running my mouth. You meant what you said its pretty clear.

Idiots from both sides are people watching and discussing these kind of sensationalistic and sansanikhej news channels and clippings, not the panelists who are getting their daily bread out of making sensationalistic statements. Since it's my third post in this thread I am also registered under the idiots category for now, so will redeem myself and not post in this thread now.

That is why I haven't turned on the news since we entered the Semis. This is what Indian media does...they don't care about the Indian team...only care about their TRPs...milking the news as much as possible and maybe at the expense of our team who I am sure are trying for a complete media blackout to concentrate on the game as much as possible.

Well that's your opinion. I don't think calling an idiot on TV, an idiot buffoon on forum is idiotic. It's sensible actually. Had Amir said the same thing on Tele with Indian guests on, he would have deserved every criticism. I am not mad bc what Shastri said, it's fine/fun when you are among your nationals....but at the moment when Malik and Amir were there and I used to respect this guy hah.

Do you even make sense to yourself?

You didnt even post the video of Shastri saying what he did. He could have said it in jest. This is a sports show about the semi final between Ind Vs Pak on a news channel and they try to maximize the TRPs by bringing in as many heated comments and debates as possible because controversy generates viewer ship. It's all part of the game. I dont understand why you are getting offended because of one comment and even if you did get offended, nobody cares.

I will make it easy for you: I don't think its idiotic to call 'Shastri' who appeared on TV, an idiot buffoon on ICF forum. Now don't tell me you are confused again.

It is idiotic because Shastri, the 'news' channel and the lot are being deliberately sensationalistic and playing to the galleries, laughing their asses off to the bank, while idiots are burning their blood on internet forums about how the honor and izzat of their country and team has been tarnished.

Seriously' date=' can't wait for this stupid match to be finished.[/quote'] I know what you mean. And why is there so much gap between matches ? I feel as if the World Cup started about an year ago.

I watched this show - in bits and pieces though - I think it was Atul who made this comment and not shatri.

Don't some of us just love to over react? This is just a stupid talk show tailor made to get the exact response that is abundant in this thread. And does no one see the genius that Atul Wasan is? Rickshaw is so much better than a BMW. Who gives better mileage? BMW ko ek choti si kharaach bhi aa gayi to 1000s of rupees down the drain. Rickshaw is the single most important mode of transport in the subcontinent. Small enough to cut between vehicles and big enough to bully the bike walas.Thandi thandi hawa blowing in your face, no tension of changing gears, na koi parking ki tension. Its a completely romantic vehicle. In addition to tempered meters, Sometimes the rickshaw guys play superhit songs like 'Tere naam' and 'Tum to thehre Pardesi' to add to the overall experience. Even Himesh Reshamiya, the greatest entertainer ever, preferred the use of Rickshaws in the climax of the movie ' Aap ka Suroor', which incidentally was shot in the Germany ( home of BMWs). Do you need more proof of the superiority of rickshaws over BMWs? You Pakistanis should be happy with the praise Atul has heaped on you. Khamakha naraaz ho rahe ho. Does Pakistan have CNG or petrol wali rickshaws?

Idiots from both sides? I only saw one idiot in that video. Coming on national TV with guests from the other side of the border and you talk trash about their team' date=' you expect those other side people just to take that.[/quote'] Based on whatever I have seen in video posted, I can say both Shastri and Sohail are behaving agressively, so if you going to call only shastri as idiot based on video posted, then you are not being fair. Of course, I haven't seen anything of this show other than the video posted, there may been some precursor to this. But as far as posted video goes, both of them were aggressive and it was Sohail who started daring India not Shastri.

Its a good thing though. The last time Sohail did that we know what happened.:two_thumbs_up:
