The world isn't ending......

Never said it was. I just pointed out that all the streaming services are pretty bad for lag.

Just the standard "it's my irritation" has never helped any convo in the history of the world

theres delays and theres delays though, technology is there for the delays to be a second or two at most if the broadcasters so choose, but they dont

and its my irritation...................

Standard stuff, the picture has to be encoded , streamed to you and then decoded, no chance of it being a second or 2. It's the reason I didn't watch any of the England games in UHD as it was best part of a minute behind.

I absolutely agree! My steaming service is really poor. I often look in the wardrobe for my fav shirt/trousers only to find they still haven’t been steamed!:ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:

What do facts have to do with something being irritating?

Just because something is explainable doesn’t make it less irritating, if it’s irritating.

I know there are rational facts behind the traffic lights at a roundabout on town, but it’s still an irritation.

its even worse when the so called facts are wrong...................

It's a public forum, if you don't want anyone to comment then don't post. Complaining about the difference between live TV and an internet stream just points to a lack of understanding and quite likely a comment on it.

Not even the subject that matters

It's a forum, opinions or statements are open to be commented on, questioned or challenged..it's a public forum as you say

If someone posted this red button on iPlayer is doing my head in... Just an example

And someone says oh press back up it goes

Two types of people

Those who will be like thank you .. or ah tried didn't work

And those who will just say "it's my irritation"

People claim the forum is less welcoming than ever yet this "old rule" that's never been a rule is completely unwelcoming and stupid ..

If you walk a mile in his shoes and experience his irritations you might agree with him. It’s his irritation. Disagree if you want but it doesn’t diminish the level of his irritation. Respect his point, e.g. “I understand it’s bugging you but…”

Which is completely fine. However if someone had said oh you idiot it's because of this .. then that's rude

But If your politely say something without talking down to someone or calling them an idiot or anything then it's completely fine.

The "it's my irritation" is pathetic.

Again, understanding doesn't make something less irritating. You might not think so, but I personally believe that everyone reserves the right to be irritated, or not, by anything they like. I am not in any position to tell them otherwise. If you believe that you are, then more power to you and I salute you, Sir.

You can comment all you want, as is your right and I make no such statement that anyone shouldn't. Merely that the act of explanation and/or understanding doesn't always make something less irritating.

I bid you a good evening and peace on earth.

And it's still pathetic and not a rule. So I'll agree to disagree

Good you’re learning,
Next time make the same decision a bit sooner ?

It’s an unwritten, but generally accepted rule of thumb that peoples random irritations are just that, thinks that peeps find irksome,
Stuff is often commented on, but forensic dissection of the irritation isn’t normally necessary ?

Thing is Brian, we appear to have reached a point where people can't just respect other people's opinions without diminishment or "correction". Coupled with a seemingly obsessive desire to always have the last word.

Anyway, it's boxing day, I am full of gammon and beer and going to retire to my couch for some Mario Kart madnss with the boy.

Peace out!

I have spoken and apologised to Fundy. I did not mean to start a row. I pointed out when trying to help someone and get that statement back it's a kick in the nuts .. however Fundy has pointed out most of time people don't want help they just want to vent

Will take his words on board

Feliz navidad
 
Andy Townsend on co-commentary. "The officials have got that just about right". No they haven't, they've either got it right or they've got it wrong. It's a binary decision with a yes or no answer.
