Ive only just seen this thread so I will back you up blueto. Football is good.
i played rugby from 6 till 19 and all that time thought, football was rubbish and a girls sport full of people that werent manly enough to play rugby.
i started playing football at 20 after displacing a vertibra in my spine, and i loved the competitveness in this girls sport and the passion, I felt it was more than rugby.
I loved playing it, although i wasnt great at first, but I stuck at it, brought my strenght from rugby over and got involved. Then i discovered the art of watching football on TV which I had previously only done if arsenal were playing, and started to enjoy that as well. But I still have no problem stoping watching a game if its borring.
And my playing has got better too, im 23, playing 2nd team footy at uni and Ive just got a trail at a semi-pro team. :)
so football is good, playing is great. watching good football is great, borring football, like borring anything (motogp, F1, rugby etc) is borring!!

The Rangers game tonight proved what I've always thought... Football would be much improved if instead of playing 45 minutes each way, we skipped the main game and went straight to injury time. That'd cause an increase in the best thing that can happen in a game of football- the penalty shootout. So we make the shootouts longer to compensate, every player left on the pitch gets a shot instead of this best of 5 business (that'd give an advantage to teams not getting people sent off too)
Go on, tell me I'm wrong...

Football - good grief.
Played by overpaid, overgroomed, molly-coddled, mard-ar$ed, cheating egotistical goits with the pain threshold of a baby.
If I was in charge I would be booking and fining players for the gross over reactions to contact. Its cheating plain and simple. Why they think they can get away with it with modern television coverage I have no idea.

what rules?:confused:
I can think of...
no gouging (important if you ever want to see)
no kicking to the head while they are on the ground (important if you want to live)
no striking to the back of the head (imortant if you want to live)
no low blows (important if you want kids)
I think the rules are just right. You can still sit on someone and batter them with an elbow attack then make them submit via a naked choke....... what did it used to be like?

Those fair enough, it's rounds and points I don't like.
Football is great to watch, you appreciate it and understand it much more if you've played it at any organised level.
Not sure why I have been drawn to defend it.
If we want an argument about pointless viewing, let's look at soaps shall we? Eastenders? Neverbloodyenders more like! What's that about? Why do people feel compelled to never miss an episode when it never ends and just goes round and round in circles anway, and why the hell is "everyone talking about it"? Talk about a waste of time. Anyway, "ya wanna cappa tea?"

The only reason people watch them is because there's nothing going on in their own lives worth mentioning.

I hate the hype around it.
I hate the violence that stereotypicaly comes with it.
I hate the nancy type falling around that is involved with most games I have ever watch.
I hate that players can fight on the field, and although get fined by the FA police are rarely involved.
I hate the fact that they get payed so much (Jealous? Of course I am lol :D)

new you would see my side mate!:cyclopsani:
I used to pay £8 to stand in the chicken run at west ham and was a fairly regular attender in the early 90s. The last time I paid for a ticket (some time ago now) it cost me £ 28 at that point I vowed never to go to a football match again. At todays prices if you pay for your ticket get there and back grab a burger and a couple of pints you are probably looking at £ 60 for 1.5 hours of so called entertainment. If you take a family I dread to think of the cost. A mate of mine has a season ticket and it works out around 40 quid a game !!!!!!!!
The point of my post is that I think Football has attracted so much money to it, that it has priced itself out of the market, a bit like formula one. I am on a fairly decent wage and would not like to pay that much for a ticket for an hour and a half so because I have in a way been forced not to go I have come to detest it, but maybe that is my own bitterness clouding my judgement. Yes the atmosphere when you go to a match is great but when you compare going to a match with say cheering Foggy or Hodgson or Toseland at Brands WSB I know where I would rather be.
You can get a BSB ticket for £ 22 and that comes with a packed schedule lasting the whole day not 90 minutes (+ - E.Time etc) !
This is just my own humble story. 10 years ago I was probably the only bloke I knew who didn't like football but now its not that uncommon anymore, and that must say something about how football is percieved by us all.

If I was in charge I would be booking and fining players for the gross over reactions to contact.
My brother has a solution, based on the scottish school football rules. Each team nominates a Best Fighter. Any time someone from the opposing team feigns injury, then immediately recovers, the Best Fighter is entitled to inflict the faked injury for real. So for instance, Liverani last night- Cousins barely touched heads with him and he fell on the ground as if killed. Rangers would, upon his immediate and miraculous recovery, be entitled to put forward their Best Fighter- probably Barry Ferguso who would nut him into next week.
When monitoring this rule, it's important to remember that anyone who takes more than 3 rolls when falling after contact is faking.

The amount of fire and passion that I put into what I do is far greater than any football player. Why casue I'm not driven by cheque from it, I do it casue I want to and can.
I'm sure thats the same from anyone else here that does any sport for the above reasons.
I really don't like football, I don't like the atmosphere, I hate doing it even more for work. There are far more friendly sports to go and watch.
I do maintenance for a premiership club and after some of the things I've seen I would never do anything that might contribute money to those spoiled gits!

tricky one this. played school football then played amateur, very amateur i might add. gave it up in my mid twenties because things started getting a bit silly. team mates broke anles and legs, out of work for months and for what.
top pro footballers are there to set examples, how they behave is reflected in the youngsters who look up to them. load of cheating, over paid woofters. desperately lacking respect for one and other.
but on a lighter note took my 11yr old son to a cub/scout football tournament today, unfortunatly were beaten in the final, he and his team loved it. total pleasure to watch children, boys and girls i might add, playing in the spirit of sport. great stuff, maybe the grown ups could learn something from that.

All the lads seemed to be able to keep themselves amused for hours and hours and hours, never tiring chatting about football. They were proper ripping the cr*p out of each other all night much to each others amusement. Particularly final in Moscow and Liverpool not making it, stuff i would find sooooo boring, but for a change just listening to them all was hilarious.....I mean it seems the only time multinational folk stand together is when footie is involved, at work last night there was a greek, an italian, english, asian..completely engrossed in this boring boring sport....but it made 12 hrs of boredom disappear!....odd...very odd

used to play football for the school team then played amateur football, and i do mean amateur, gave it up in my mid twenties for 2 reasons. we were terrible and my team mates were spending too much time off work and losing money with broken ankles and legs, it was just a question of time before i suffered the same fate.
footballers are overpaid, over rated, and poor examples to the younger generation who copy their actions. in short woofters with no respect for fellow proffessionals.
on a lighter note took my 10yr old son yesterday to play in a cub/scout football tournament. totally enjoyable, apart from getting beat in the semis, kids loved it, boys and girls i might add and should be more of it. maybe the so called proffessionals could learn something from that, good behaviour would do for a start.
