    Would you lot ever attend a match at Oakwell with 2 blokes in the centre circle playing a game of FIFA with a big screen on?

    Apparently it's the 'future'.

    No. Don't get it personally.

    I tried watching the F1 competition that Sky F1 showed live on the weekend of the Abu Dabi Grand Prix and it bored me shitless.

    Certain e-sports are pretty good, but not the ones based on actual sports. I also don't understand why they can't use the term pro-gaming, because simply it isn't a sport.

    Not surprising. The real thing is like watching paint dry. In fact it's worse than that, it's like watching paint after it's dried.

    We'd have to get a "big screen" first.

    Surely not.
    Love actual sport as much as I detest ‘e-sport’.
    Cannot comprehend adults playing video games and do not recognise ‘gaming’ as anything other than an indicator of idleness and indolence.

    Firstly I was making a joke about the size of our screen. Secondly I'd say just because you don't like something I don't think you should be so derogatory about it. Plenty of people think spending 100s - 1000s of pounds a year to watch men kick a ball about is mad.
    For example I have zero interest in rugby. Away from sport I don't enjoy ballet, I wouldn't belittle anyone else enjoyment in either though. It's ok to say it's not for me.

    Also isn't indolence just a synonym of idleness?
