Gambit Posted September 15, 2007 Posted September 15, 2007 simba, we've fought four wars with them. We've had a troubled history. We are arch rivals. This kind of banter is understandable.

Even the few of the Aussie trolls on C4 who used to laugh at England, always took their side whenever there was a controversy with one of the subcontinent nations! I think we've gone too far. It is not good.

It is not good. Chandan, its all light hearted stuff. Taking the mickey out of them in a light hearted manner is a perfect recipe for fun. Our history with them as a country amplified by our world cup record against them, makes this an opportune moment for such banter.:haha: And we dont pretend to be a gentleman, that we are not. Deep inside everyone of us, is a child. We all like to be children once in a while.
zubinpepsi Posted September 15, 2007 Posted September 15, 2007 happy that India won... but making this kind of a thread is stupid for me.. I don't understand why there is sooo much hatred for pakistan.. imagine if pak wins the coming series ppl will commit suicide here simba , indians aint tht stupid to commit suicide over a cricket match loss.. these r best done by our beloved neighbours who shot themselves whenever they loose to us..:hysterical:
zubinpepsi Posted September 15, 2007 Posted September 15, 2007 Chandan, they r no saints not to b abused...
Dhondy Posted September 15, 2007 Posted September 15, 2007 Australia v England doesn't even begin to describe the chemistry between India and Pakistan. It's like 10N NaOH being added to a vat of conc H2SO4. The enthalpy would be enough to vapourize a small sized nation. We have been to numerous wars with that nation, been the recepient of attacks on our parliament by their stooges, seen innocent children and women blown up without compunction, and yet we have nothing but love and respect for the man on the street in Pakistan. We wish them well, we hope they become a prosperous and healthy nation. But not at cricket. When it comes to cricket, it is total annihilation we seek. We show no mercy in victory, and expect no clemency in defeat. Winner takes all. Friendship, kinship, mateship, bhai-bhai, chacha-bhateeja, bhaijan- beeji is all for the fainthearted. Such stuff doesn't exist in our lexicon. Not in those 22-yards out in the middle. Ouside sport, we welcome gentlemen like MP with open arms, with affection unbounded, but if his team is defeated in cricket, he should expect no reprieve. They will be hung and quartered, flogged to within an inch of extinction on this message board. It's only words. Nobody will lose their lives. Nobody will come to any harm. If MP pays me a visit tomorrow, he'll be greeted with a repast fit for kings, and the warmest hospitality he could ever imagine. Nothing will ever change that. Is this ethically indefensible? Is it right to harbour so much spite in a sporting arena? Maybe it is, but we don't care. It's a disease we'll take to our grave. If it offends you, Chandan and Simba, look away. We realize that some may find such strength of feeling obscene, but what's sport between two bitterest rivals without million-volt passion to scorch the souls of the losers? No preaching, no moralizing, no pontification...we simply ask for your understanding.
simba28 Posted September 15, 2007 Posted September 15, 2007 i know about our history and the passion with which we play the game.. but insulting other people just to boast ur own ego is senseless.. u gotts give respect to earn it... Thats just my point of view..

Thats just my point of view.. Nope, respect is only earned by winning. Losers get no respect at all. If it happens to be us, too bad. Let the ridicule boil your soul and become stronger for it. Make sure you don't lose next time. That's my point of view.
Bumper Posted September 15, 2007 Posted September 15, 2007 Very well put Dhondy. When it comes to cricket rivalry, there is simply no gentlemen on either side of the border. Those who profess to be one, havent been to rival message boards yet. I suggest a 30 day clinic at Baghdad Bob & Co. You will come out swinging..
PaiN_KiLLeR Posted September 15, 2007 Posted September 15, 2007 spot on Dhondy! To be a champion you have to be ruhtless on the field, and this is what India has always lacked. But the new gen players like Karthik & Uthappa might just be able to change that.
Deleted_User_1 Posted September 15, 2007 Posted September 15, 2007 MOED EDIT: Mp Is A Respected Member' date= Don't Get Cheeky Man you guys cannot take a joke!! OK Pakistani team suck on this :finger:
Rajiv Posted September 15, 2007 Posted September 15, 2007 Good, then we shouldn't complain stuff written on Pak sites too. We ain't saints either then
kumble_rocks Posted September 15, 2007 Posted September 15, 2007 Premature thread in my opinion ! What if they beat us in the finals . Then, we will become the laughing stock !:D
Aditi Posted September 15, 2007 Posted September 15, 2007 What if they beat us in the finals Everybody has so far.
Predator_05 Posted September 15, 2007 Author Posted September 15, 2007 One day on and i am STILL LAUGHING AT PAKISTAN :hysterical::hysterical::hysterical::hysterical:

No preaching, no moralizing, no pontification...we simply ask for your understanding. I don't share that view but I can't expect the rest to be like me. Each of our background is different and we respond differently. I feel good when India beats Pakistan but not anymore than how it feels when India beats say Australia. I guess it is the background that we all come from adds to the extra happiness or bitterness. I respect others' view too on this one. If one feels very strongly about a result against Pakistan as Dhondy depicts above in his post then be it. I have no problem with that as long as it stays a banter and doesn't turn into an abuse fest. I think most here are not too bad. On the other hand I know if India lost the same fellas that are giving Pakistan a hard time will be giving India a hard time. Simply put Indian cricket followers are an emotional lot and in particular against Pakistan. I don't see anything wrong with it and what's the point in having a message board if you can't post what you feel (no abuse of course) without being politically correct.

fineleg Posted September 16, 2007 Posted September 16, 2007 Folks, India won, and we can celebrate. But there is no reason to call names and be derogatory to Pakistanis. That is uncalled for. Celebrating a victory by our team does not have to be by putting down the other country. We can celebrate our own victory but we can maintain decorum at the same time.

Still I'll appreciate if some of the abuse is cut off. Make fun by all means, scorch them, laugh at them, make a joke but please don't abuse!! This is my suggestion!!
