[QUOTE="big ginger 8, post: 837914, member: 53057"] There is no such thing as an objective person here. Everyone has some amount of bias, some just have less than others. There's a definite English bias here because of the mainly English clientele. Maybe you don't notice it as much because you are also English. It's not really a surprise that Irish people call for Irish people, English for English, Welsh for Welsh and Scottish for Scottish. It's not really a surprise, given that that's who those people are watching most. Even when you watched Leicester play Munster say as is natural you'd have been more focused on your team than Munster and it would have only been something really standout that would have...well stood out to you. It only becomes a problem when the bias is so ridiculous that nothing else even bares consideratio and it hinders realistic debate.. Say when Sam Davies is claimed to be the Lions definite starting 10 or if I called for Jack Conan to start. So basically its very unfair of you to claim Irish people are particularly biased and by association claim everyone else is far more objective. [/QUOTE]
