caseyjones 3,009 Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 My post wasn't really at odds with it. Every generation does have a habit of talking about how better things where when they were younger. Unless football has went downhill since it started someone has it wrong.Nowt to fret about then.

Bugsy_Dave 20 Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 My interest in football is fading with each passing season unless it involves Rangers. I only watch Rangers, Scotland and the latter stages of the Champions League. Im loving golf and snooker these days so football has taken a back seat. Glad to know its not just me and lots of others feel the same. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue corn flakes 1,282 Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 I used to watch the EPL all the time, not anymore. Unless there is a big match on like Utd v City or Utd v Liverpool along with as few london derbies. Watch every Rangers game tho. or try to.

G.E.C. 19,055 Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 With the exception of Rangers, I barely watch that much football. Just the Premiership and CL for me.Of course when the Euros or World Cup is on I'll give it a watch. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

alstone 374 Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 The problem is all down to money, the likes of man city and Chelsea getting ridiculous amounts thrown at them to buy who ever they want and pay them obscene amounts of money. Too many players in the world like tevez, Anelka etc who have no loyalty and only appear to be in it for the money, guys who have the sheer brass neck to refuse to play for the club for whatever personal beef they're having with the manager, yet getting paid enough money in a week to set one of their paying supporters up for a lifetime. Shirt sales and ticket prices are an absolute farce also, in England anyway.The thing is though, despite all this the game is so emtertaining that my interest will never fade away, I just football Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Blue_Flash 390 Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 I think it's the refs that really get me down they have no consistency and so many cause injuries, lost points, lost trophies and just make it up most of the time and its getting very boring there constant varied agendas Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ricky_ 893 Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 yup, i feel the same. Was already a bigger fan of boxing over the last few years & now slowly becoming a bigger fan of NFL than football. Football lacks what the 2 mentioned don't. Sporting merit. Like you said, it's a commercial & capitalist nightmare, the whole set-up is shit, theres too many games, too many teams, too many competitions, and ultimately, the best teams with the best players are the ones who have the most money. Manchester City winning, sorry, buying the EPL is testament to how hollow the sport is today. Barely a single squad member would have signed for Manchester City for anything other than the millions on offer by oil rich arabs. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
