Football has to be the most boring thing ever.

My wife's likes football . We get BT Sport on Sky so she can watch a decent match on a Saturday. I can watch an important match now and again. What puts me off football is that these modern ridiculously overpaid prima donnas can't keep the ball on the pitch for more than 30 seconds and if they do they fall over "injured" all the time.
Otherwise whether you are sporty or not depends on your upbringing I suppose. She also likes athletics and seeing this coming from Russia last weekend fills me with some hope for the world. If everything could be settled by a football match or an 100 meters race the world would be a better place.
It is more pleasant to listen to the football results than the "score of death" in the Middle East.

 

I hate the game with a passion, I just don't understand why it sends people into a frenzy just because one individual manages to kick a ball into a target the size of a single decker bus, I reckon there's some 'key' in the brain that you need to activate to understand it, thank god my keys not been activated, Even though I don't give a monkeys about who wins what, my world is affected, Every pub in the world now has wall to wall televisions with football on at ear piercing volume,so the blokes like me who once thought a pub was a place to go for a quiet pint and a chat has no longer a place to go,
Not only that but, on football days the constant noise of police and ambulance sirens in our towns,the hooligans (mostly unreported) they don't want us to know, the strain on our emgeracy services and WHY ? the answer is money, Its an industry about mugs buying tickets,shirts,hats,scarfs,programs,posters and mugs etc etc, Its legalised racketeering because the people who make laws in this country also dip into the money made from footie,,

 

Can't stand it either.
Such a pointless activity. Remember starting secondary school and being used as target practise by a high velocity ball.

 

Been saying that for years!!!

 

I see the womens world cup was on. What I want to know is, How long did it take for all the players to park up in the stadium car park ?

 

Never been Interested in it either...it just doesn't seem to resonate with me in any way!

 

Madness in my view, overpaid and overrated!
Just don't understand how somebody can get so worked up about a team that has almost nothing to do with where the team is based, most players are not from the area let alone the country!
One day they are shouting abuse at a player on an opposing team next week he has been transferred and he is the darling of the club!
Now ladies Topless Football or Tennis that I could get into!

 

now you are talking TB

 

Watching 22 "Nancy boys." Kicking a bag of wind, round a patch of grass. What's to like?
I firmly believe that only people who are intellectually challenged, find this pastime enjoyable.

 

Pusssies the lot of them, should do real mans sport like me.

 

I think all those "Pansies" should be nominated for oscars... Never mind the world cup.

 

I like football and spend most of my time ribbing friends and workmates about it and I don't really know what I'd do without it.


Go fishing or something I suppose.
Tappy,

 

Now we're talking.

 

Football is the new religion and equally as b*ll#it as the old ones.

That said, I loves a good game of kick baw

 

I suppose it's just one of those things, your either into it or your not.

Although I do think money has ruined the game. Sometime in the future the bubble will burst.

 

There's a lot better stuff on the telly to yell at. Party political broadcasts for starters, (and any news items featuring Dave Camoron, any Labour bods, or Limp Dems.)
