I dont get it!
If there's one thing that creeps me out, it's a grown man in a FULL football kit as social wear!!!! :shock: :?
Fine as a 12year old kid, but anything over 16 and it's just plain weird!!!!
Also how can a game of football be exciting when on average only 1-2 goals are scored each game!!!!!!! Imagine if formula one was run with only two cars...........................and they crossed the line at the same time..a draw!!!!!
oh and another thing........this goes out to the pro players..................................................MAN UP AND STOP ROLLING AROUND ON THE FLOOR!!!!!!! :evil:
............i could go on and on and on..................

Nope - you're not the only one.Isaac_AG":36ucluya said:
I'm entirely unmoved by it, too.
Maybe watch the odd game where England are playing somebody in one of those big football-y competitions? I'm destined to be a huge embarrassment to my kids on that score.

Another one here that doesn't get football. Bunch of pansys tripping over there own feet trying to gain advantage by faking injury or foul play.
Brought up in a rugby playing household with rugby playing dad & uncles. Taught to take a knock and get on and out-play those dishing out the beef.

Went to my first footie match a couple weeks back. Loved it. Tough life being ref. Loved looking at the fans to. What a group of people.
May go again as long a the weather is good next time. Only cost me £12 and saw 6 goals. So not bad value. Shame a draw.
Good chance to try my new camera 'sports' mode. Hard work taking sports pictures.
So an enjoyable day and i'm not a football person. It's a team game who's fans like to drink. Not me by a long way.
I'd still rather be on the Trimble in the Surrey countryside round Leith or Box hill.

And another thing ...
Referees in football get no respect from the players. They should hand out tazers to the refs, anyone attempting to back chat or shows contempt gets zapped.

i've put a lot of thought to this in recent years as my interest has steadily dwindled.
coming from a fan that has travelled home and away, and to europe to support a team.. my love for the game has been dying along with the mass injection of money and shady morals. the fact that you see children as young as 9/10 years old, and women screaming blue murder and making obscene gestures at anyone who dares even look in their direction wearing different colours. my only conclusion is unfortunately too horribly judgemental and im too embarrassed to say it out loud.
so, im not willing to tell you that it came to me over breakfast in the work canteen, overhearing factory workers, yet again, talking utter dribble about the previous nights match whilst devouring their extra thick stacked bacon butties. working class (*cringe*) men need something to talk about.
I think that's it in a nutshell. It's something they can purport to understand and discuss with self-appointed authority.
this doesn't explain the prawn sandwich brigade, perhaps, but they aren't true fans, right? perhaps (like me) they were just duped into thinking it was actually important.
perhaps they will all too have an epiphany and get on a bike instead (or watch rugby).
that and the fact religion is dying. it's all a bit tribal, init.
but I won't say
