Time To Be Honest

[millomred]

I`ve been getting depressed about premiership football for quite awhile now but I was`nt quite sure why. But over the past week and a bit I now know the answer.
Last weekend I went to Cardiff with some mates to watch The Millenium Magic Rugby League weekend this made me miss my only home league game of the season against Man City, but I booked the weekend around christmas time when I was really pissed off with everything that was happening inside the club so I thought fuck it and just booked the weekend.
After watching 5 games of rugby over Saturday and Sunday it was so refreshing to watch players who were totally honest on the pitch, no cheating , feigning injury , showed total respect for the referee and their opponents. The supporters all mixing together , even Wigan and St Helens , I found myself asking why soccer could`nt be like this?
Then on Friday night I watched the play-off game on Setanta between Staleybridge and Barrow and again even though the football was a million miles away from what i`m used to watching the honesty shown by the players was refreshing.
I think that the reason i`m falling out of love with premiership football is that it`s become a win at all costs game and if that means cheating then those that can do something about it just turn a blind eye. I`d just be intrested to know other views on the subject.

To be honest most of us hate a lot of things in the game, be it diving, cheating or the jester hat brigade. I will not even start about early kick offs, late kick offs, Monday nights or Sunday tea time.
The thing is it is in the blood and there is no changing that. Love or hate it, it is still there inside.


One thing I do hate is today and it is out of jealousy, plain and simple I wish it was us in the melting pot. Once I took it as given now I would give almost anything for number 19 and there is never no changing that, no matter how much the modern game fucks you off.
