Awww, bless - did I burst your happy bubble? I'm sorry, I'll leave you to your happy fantasy world now, I'm off to play Div1 @ Campaign (because I love paintball, I'm just not blinkered about the true public perception of it :rolleyes: )

Have fun watching Tv and bitching on the internet.

Edit - Luke, have you ever met Piper? Cos there is no way in hell he would ever 'dive' , it's just not done for men of his "calibre";)

No not at all, i'm fully aware of the over hype regarding paintball and it's status, it's just a really strange comment from someone that allegedly loves the sport ?

After all i can't remember ever hearing a football fan say "after all it's only 22 hairdressers kicking a pigs bladder about", or a formula one fan say "it's just a bunch of mini cab drivers driving round in circles" !
Strange comment that's all ?

Just for your information i've not seen the advert on TV and i'm only on the internet because it's better than doing stuff at work ..................all the time i don't get caught at least !

Not really, F1 & Football are legitimate multi million pound sports, paintball currently is not.

Hell, at best it's an excuse to run round shooting a gun at people.

diablo.... you can love a sport but also be a realist as to its very poor public perception.

Everyone seems to be focusing on my comments, so lets get it straight, i am fully aware of the state of paintball today from the public perception to the confusing and constantly changing tournament rules right through to the lack of co-operation between tournament governing bodies. All i pointed out was that MrPink's comments were somewhat negative for someone who alegedly loves the game.
I was not comparing us to formula1 or football, merely pointing out that you do not hear their fans running the sport down, at whatever level there at !
I am a realist and i know what we are all about, but my point was that maybe if we had achived getting paintball onto the first few rungs of the credibility ladder, this stupid game and Mr Pinks comments don't help at all, do they ?;)
