David Warner's drunken tweeting

The IPL is not ****ing cricket up. That's silly.

Spotfixing is ****ing cricket up.

Dead pitches, lack of proper scheduling, lack of proper competition, inane over-played meaningless series, lack of domestic interest are ****ing cricket up.


David Warner is a ****ing idiot though. Such a dumb ****.

Sorry. I can only do my best. If it's not good enough for you, meh.
I actually misunderstood your post :laugh:

Thought you meant this bit - "Good on them for getting cash out of it" - was you giving the go ahead for players to go ahead and partake in spot fixing.

I meant their general payments. But in the IPL, they can spot fix all they like as well! Because I couldn't care any less about the teams, the competition, or the results.

Why the Fox hate Watson? I'm thinking the reason is other than outrage at the phone tapping. Is it more ideological?
Sure it's ideological - but it's ideology with a proper foundation. Fox Sports and Fox News are currently owned by New Corp/Consolidatd Media Holdings. And by most definitions this company is a 'criminal organisation'. That is not an exaggeration, it is a simple truth;

Phone hacking: The main players
BBC News - Phone hacking: The main players

Victims and Possible Victims
BBC News - Phone hacking: Victims and possible victims

Yet this company survives, and is even flourishing in todays stock market, because we the people are dumb enough to utilise it products and pour our hard earned money into its coffers.

One way it survives is to promote itself and advertise itself by the use of gutter journalism and senationalism. Unfortunately Dave Warner has been sucked into the vortex of this horrible News Corp modus operandi. But now that he has, it seems reasonable to me that Fox/News Corp take some of the blame as it is their dispicable form of journalism that caused the problem/issue in the first place.

And significantly, Dave Warner is not in the middle of a fight with the ABC or Fairfax, it's News Corp. It's 'always' News Corp, and they need to be shown up.

(There I've said my piece and will shut-up now)

One day I'm going to get a job with News Limited, donate 20% of my pay every week to the IPA and then ban watson from CricketWeb just to spite how dire he's been in this thread.

I haven't read the article and not seen the photo until now. It changes everything. It is Sreesnath and a couple of other players who aren't Warner that are the centre of this right? Well why doesn't the article carry a picture of them instead? The association of Warner's piccy with the content of the article is misleading and unfair. To use Watson's analogy how would Craddock or the sub editor who ran Warner's image, feel if their own was used over an article about the NOTW scandal: With the fact they work for Murdock as the justification?

He'll be forced to back down but I'd be pleased if Warner stuck to his guns. Frankly it is the paper and the journalist who should appear before an authourity presiding over press standards into this article.
Yeah I heard the cheerleaders were also disgusted to be associated with spot fixing.

News Ltd is the pits tbf. I wouldn't shed a single tear if Murdoch died a long, slow, painful and lonely death tbh.
