Ibrox_Nights 429 Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 Is anyone else completely and utterly bored by all this round of friendlies guff. I know there are qualifiers coming, some of which will be garbage as well, however, with the majority of the main league seasons just starting back, we now get nearly a fortnight of it with a few gaps in between days.The qualifiers need to be played at some point, but a round of friendlies prior to all of this when the top leagues are just getting into full swing?The highlight of today being a meaningless game between Japan and Uruguay Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Godfather 70,781 Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 Agreed, it’s utterly soul destroying.I dread these weekends coming up and missing out on domestic and European football. Maybe it’s because I’m not interested in Scotland or any other international team but I don’t even watch these games unless it’s the actual World Cup or Euro Championships.Mind numbing time of year.

King Jela 20,017 Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 I don't mind the friendlies to much, they need to be done, but aye, have them right after the main leagues kick off ? Bollocks to that. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
G.E.C. 18,633 Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 I kinda like how they get the friendlies out the road pretty much straight away. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ibrox_Nights 429 Posted September 5, 2014 Author Share Posted September 5, 2014 I don't mind it so much when the games really get going into qualification but at the start it's mind numbing right enough. That said, I've never been a fan of international friendlies at all. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Hilts 12,819 Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 hope Strachans henchmen are pumped off the world champions on Sunday. no doubt it will be a tight 2-0 and their 'brave warriors' will get praised rotten until they get pumped off Georgia Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

there'sonlyoneamoruso 1,724 Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 I don't really like it and I go to all the Norn Iron home games. It is a fairly bad time for internationals as others have said as the leagues are just starting.Give me an international double header Wednesday and Saturday and I'm happy. All this playing any day of the week (except Wednesdays - is this a designated friendly day?) is a load of pish. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bombaybadboy08 15,660 Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 It's wank.Only positives are England winning, although they're pish to watch, and Scotland getting beat this Sunday. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bronzy 25,953 Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 To be fair, Frendlies give managers a chance to play younger guys who wouldn't get a look in if it was a competitive match. I suppose it helps them get international experience.Other than that, they're pointless. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
