Craig_ Posted March 13 Share Posted March 13 F1 I'll give you, but cricket and snooker are wonderful sports. Incredible depth, subtlety and technique. Was going to suggest Ross County v Hibs games, but County have just scored! 😁 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PortyJambo Posted March 13 Share Posted March 13 And, if I could add another 3, gymnastics, ice skating and synchronised swimming too, where any score is dependant on what a judge thinks and it's not that clear to inexpert viewers what they're actually looking at.

martoon Posted March 13 Share Posted March 13 F1, and the sports so beloved of the Americans. Total mystery to me why they're popular as spectator sports. I'm not a fan of rugby, cricket, golf...but I can see why others would enjoy watching them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They need a former competitor doing the commentary to explain it to viewers.

Toxteth O'Grady Posted March 13 Share Posted March 13 Rugby - the ball is rarely in play. Cricket - days and days of nothing F1 - the guy with the fastest car wins but it takes a long time and they have a meaningless day on the day before the race.

Jamboross Posted March 13 Share Posted March 13 Test cricket I'll give you but limited overs matches (ODIs, T20 etc) can be a great watch, been meaning to head down to The Grange for a Scotland game for years but never got around to it. Most boring for me are golf, F1 (used to love it but a total snoozefest in the modern era) and darts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boof Posted March 13 Share Posted March 13 Totally dependent upon live viewing or TV. Golf, for instance. Never been to an event but I get the feeling you'd either sit by a green all day watching a few shots come in every 15 minutes or you'd stand by a tee and watch 3 tee shots every 15 minutes or you'd follow a 3-some and see, maybe, 210-odd shots over the course of 5+ hours. However - watch it on TV and you'll see just about every shot, the good shots multiple times, each one commented upon without bias by a highly knowledgeable expert. You'll also get wee snippets of info regarding pin positions and hazards. Fencing I find unwatchable because it all happens too bloody fast whether on TV or live. Ice hockey on TV - similar but live...I'll have some of that! I guess something like a normal stage of Le Tour de France. Go for a flat section and they'll be past you in seconds. Fast and impressive as **** (I'd imagine) but nip away for a pish and you might miss them! A mountain stage could be fun, maybe. But televised - again, gimme that. I reckon some of the subjectively judged ones, even though the skill of the participants is out of this world, would fit the not-that-mush-fun-to-watch criteria. Synchronised swimming, ice dancing, gymnastics...all superb athletes but judged. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Radio Ga Ga Posted March 13 Share Posted March 13 F1 - boring apart from the start when there might be a pile up (surprised so many other posters had this down as I was under the impression it was very popular) American Football - game lasts for nearly four hours despite 4 x 15 min quarters and the ball is only in play for, on average, ELEVEN minutes! At the game for four hours for eleven minutes of action, SHITE sport. Basketball. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hansel Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 I only really like football so probably the wrong person to ask. I do occasionally take a passing interest in Wimbledon (particularly Murray's progress when at his peek) Also snooker when Stephen Hendry was smashing it. But, football is pretty much it for me. Nothing else gets my juices flowing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
