The off topic thread

None of us should. But he himself should give a shit

Yes he should. Is that what NSFB wants me to say? Tomic should care. But at the end of the day I don't, and I can understand why he doesn't in the context of his season.

Probably. The only person it hurts his him though.

That's the bit that I dont really get. In the context of the season is being a bit professional more important than getting off the court 1-2 mins later? Just would have thought forming good habits might be worth more than petulance and getting off the court conceding a point

In the context of his season one point in one tournament means SFA. That's what I can understand. I agree though, using the wrong end of his racket is ****ing stupid and I'm sure he got a big fine.

Can they fine him for that?

It definitely means nothing in the context of the season/tournament/match but I think there's such a thing as the right way to lose. And some good/bad habits can be created in defeat. Think about someone like Lleyton and his never say die attitude, yeah it wouldn't have won him that particular match but over his career the good habits created being a never say die competitor in moments like that helped him. Unfortunately for Tomic his habits tend to be bad ones

Of course. It's bringing the game into disrepute at best, match fixing at worst.

Aww did I hurt your feelings princess. This better not be referring to the other day...

I think we've all moved on from the other day. Lets keep it that way.

Just read all the star wars talk.

5 > 3 > 4 > 6 > 2 > 7 > 1

Maybe if there is some kind of "bringing the game into disrepute" law. I think he is jealous of Krygios and is trying anything he can to remain interesting.

You rate 2 above 7?

Uhhhhh what?

3 above 4??

 

[Cruyff14]

Tomic is a dickhead, plain and simple.

Won't reach his potential because of that. Too petulant, too blase and too much of twat.

 

[Dirty Bird]

7 takes away from 4 and itself with the similar story.

What similar story? They have similar themes, and TFA is an homage to the OT, but in no way does that make it a worse movie than 2.

Get back to me in 5 years when you do a 1-9 marathon.

I could say the same to you lol.

If anything 7 will raise in people's considerations when given the context of its own trilogy.

 

[Dirty Bird]

Fair call.
That is possible.
But I just feel once the shine of the 7th movie wears off, people will start to see it's a rip-off.

It's not a rip off at all.

Idiots look at it and think because there's Starkiller base, and they have to destroy it, it makes it an ANH clone. The story is completely different.

My only issue with it is it's missing that magic sparkle of classic Lucas that made the OT so brilliant. So it's just below the OT for me.

 

[Jatz]

I didn't think much of 7 but it's definitely better than 2. The only one worse than 2 was 1!

 

[glenferry23]

Episode 2 better than Episode 7? Wow.

 

[Spanish Sahara]

Episode 2 better than Episode 7? Wow.

 

[Loonerty]

So this just happened

May 8th release date. I guess that means probably Monday for us.

That was the point, he doesn't have the necessary attitude. There have been instances, probably at at least each Grand Slam at some point where someone wins after being match point down. Throwing in the towel achieves nothing and sadly for someone who has talent, it won't be fulfilled.

That song was absolutely majestic! Both songs have been very score like I find so it seems like Jonnys time doing scores has rubbed off on the guys plus PT Anderson directed the video.

 

[WealstoneRaider]

Thom Yorke has never been a looker but **** me he's gone to seed!

I do miss the Radiohead with guitars I have to say.

Going back on the Boba Fett thing, I can confirm that he was cool back in 1983 and I remember the look on my mates face when he disappeared down that pit. It was like he had been told his pet dog had just died
