Its became a playground for multi-millionaires who make sure they don't injure each other and don't really care by and large if they win or lose. Very few games now have real passion - the "derbys" are a bit of a joke. Its became the opposite of what English football used to be all about The derby's are good, just not the big ones.

BridgeIsBlue 66,498 Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 If it wasn't for Rangers I'd fall it away from it completely. Game is soulless as fuck,the money has killed it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

International football. Obscure Taliban Premiership football where the matchball is a severed head (only joking, forgive me) Now, the wages and transfer fees makes my blood boil. We regularly lose out on players to fucking English Championship teams, its grim how an absolute no mark tin pot club can pay 10 times what we can. Then there's those ads with the epic music playing hyping the shite out of the big Burnley vs Stoke game I watch Rangers and Rangers only nowadays. No Sky Sports either anymore. Anyone done a similar turnaround? Been Rangers and international tournaments only (not qualifiers) for a few years now. Can't even sit through motd these days.

ZZed 4,510 Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 The EPL is boring and so is the Champions League; I haven't watched a full game for a couple of years now, only highlight if I can be bothered. Rangers is the only game I go out my way to watch. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bears r us 30,560 Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 The money in the game now is out of control south of the boarder and get the points of many posts above, but I still watch a fair bit of English football some games are good some are shite. It is down to each of us to watch what we want and pay for it, at least with Virgin if you pay for Sky you get BT along with it, and Rangers away games are on a lot on both which is good IMO.

The Specky Forum Organiser 63,953 Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 Used to watch absolutely everything, now only Rangers and Chelsea. Can't even sit through an episode of MOTD.

RangersMedia 35,961 Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 Taking Rangers out of the equation. Football isn't in my top 5 most watched sports. 10yrs ago, I'd watch 4-5 games a week. I have grown to actively dislike the sport over the past few years - I never watch it. I do worry that I will eventually drift away completely from football, having little more than a passing interest in Rangers. The game has lost its soul.

sandyinroyalblue 16,478 Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 Apart from Rangers I still watch quite a lot of English and Spanish football,I'll be watching at least three European games this week as well. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

scottyscott1963 18,009 Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 Used to live and work in England years ago and went to watch the team in BLUE in Chelsea,Man City,Coventry and Luton who played in Orange. Did manage back up the road to watch our games during that time. Have had Sky since day one and would watch loadsa games. Although I still have Sky,my interest probably extends to Rangers games.

King Jela 20,016 Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 Only Rangers for me tbh, ill occasionally tune in if a game is on and I'm bored/peaked my interest but generally don't give a fuck. Don't even watch MOTD or fuck all. That Spurs/Arsenal game on Saturday summed up English football. Shit tae watch, no atmosphere, no fuck all. Shite.

SuperPapac05 3,383 Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 I'm the same. I was Football daft and would watch everything that was on. But now I just watch Rangers games and occasionally the Premier League. I haven't watched a Serie A, Bundesliga or La Liga match in ages!!!
