The shitness of modern football

That'll help to explain his incredibly insightful and mature posts on here.

 

How old is he, about 18 - 19?

We can't all be as worldly wise as you, Lurtzy.

 

Late 30's.

[Lurtz]

Seriously, you're in your late 30's?

 

Wow.

My 6 year old lad has just joined the local team and is loving going.

Went to pick up a pair of boots for him at the weekend. Tried about 3 different sports shops do you think I could get a single black pair of boots!

I mean pink, purple, brighy yellow.. Christ I felt like an old grump in the shop.

What are other kids of his age wearing? There's nothing worse when you're a kid than your parents making you wear something that makes you stand out from your peers.

The Football League is going to be 'rebranded' as the English Football League from next season, and known as EFL for short.

Football League to be rebranded as 'EFL' at end of 2015-16 season

 

The Football League is to be renamed the "English Football League" (EFL) from the end of the 2015-16 season.

 

The EFL will have a new logo as part of its rebranding.

 

But the individual league titles of the Championship, League One and League Two - introduced in 2004 - will remain.

 

"The new EFL name rightly emphasises the central role our clubs play at the heart of English professional football," Football League chief executive Shaun Harvey said.

 

"We believe the EFL name and brand will give our competitions an identity that is new and distinct, while at the same time retaining our unique heritage."

 

Clubs, stakeholders, commercial partners and more than 18,000 fans have been involved in a consultation process prior to Thursday's announcement.

Mine tried to make me wear Woolworths own brand footy boots until I kicked them in their cunts.

this is true. It's all multicoloured shite. I need to just face facts that I'm an oul arse.

Start him out right

Buy him a pair of the shite, newfangled ones so that he doesn't look out of place when playing with his peers, but get him a pair of Puma Dalglish for when you and him have a kick about. Best of both worlds.

[TheHowieLama]

Dumbest idea ever.

 

Kit him up in those Kings and two postcards as shinpads and tell him to clatter the biggest fella on the other team in the first 90 seconds.  Captain material in a weeks time.

[Harry Squatter]

Sky Sports and others assorted journos hanging on Mourinho's every word like he is the Wizard of Oz.

[Lee909]

I had both these boots

When I was a lad, instead of shinpads we used our shins.

 

Thats how hard/poor we were.

My son is 13 now, when he was 6 and 7 I sent him on with a plastic water bottle cut in half lengthwise- they have the same ribbing as modern pads.

Edit - this in no way has helped his skills and his mother will not allow me to tell this story in public as it comes across a little too ghetto as we say here.

 

Mods - please help here...

All of the above, plus Twitter and the 85-minute traffic-beaters.

Klopp's just copying me.

To be fair, the early darters have always existed.

 

Even in the 80s there'd be people making their way out when we were playing some of the best football ever.

 

They'd get "Part time supporters" chanted at them, they'd miss Johnny Barnes' third goal, but they'd be home in time for Wurzel Gummidge, so it's swings and roundabouts.

The early darters from the Kemlyn Road were always met with a lusty rendition of 'Sit Down You Bums' from the Kop back in day.

The buzzing off Real Madrid and Barcelona.

 

Fair enough if you want to watch them on the telly but it gets on my tits the way both are deified, as if both transcend the sport itself.

 

Don't really feel comfortable either with how kids are seemingly naturally drawn towards one or the other these days as a second team. Back in the day, there'd always be one gimpy kid at school who claimed he supported either and they'd rightly be ridiculed. If you went into school on a non-uniform day in either top, it was usually a sign you'd been to Spain on your holidays. Now it just shows you've been to the local Sports Direct to give 'Leo' or 'CR7' the official seal of approval.

 

I can think of about a million things I'd rather do than watch the two plumb new depths of shitbaggery, one trying to out-cunt the other for 90 mins in a 'Clasico' game.

The stream of pretentious football ads on Bein. Fuck off.
