The shitness of modern football

[Kevin D]

At half-time today, they put two teenagers playing FIFA as Liverpool/Chelsea on the big screen and the “winner” said he hoped it would inspire Chelsea to win in the second half.

 

I am serious of this.

[Mudface]

Dogshit.

Ah, but what happens if one of the big clubs goes out first round? Loss of revenue etc, can't have that.

I suspect the new format is pretty much what the ESL was going to be.

The powers that be and the greed that is rampant is just killing the game.

 

In whose head exactly is a league table where teams play different teams across it in any way shape or form a good idea and have any sort of sporting integrity. 

 

Just total shite.

Tough.  Them's the risks of cup (knockout) football.

If there's a small positive though...it appears there's no more dropping down into the lower competition shite.

Have you tried turning your hearing aids on?

 

Or reading an article about the changes (which are readily available online)?

For somebody who claims he's trying to ignore me you don't half follow my posts. You are also becoming a more miserable bastard than me and that's a high bar I set.

City are very likely to win the treble this year, and probably the quadruple next year.

Darren Moore sacked by Huddersfield. Two weeks later handed a FIVE AND A HALF YEAR contract at Port Vale. Since that appointment played 5, lost 4, drawn 1 and losing again today. Fucking insanity.

He did a decentish job with West Brom  and did very well with Sheff Wed last season, but he's died on his arse at Huddersfield and now Port Vale. Don't think he pulled up trees at Doncaster either.

 

Very limited.

Players and fans gesturing to the crowd to raise is everywhere now.

 

Winds me up.

 

Millionaires telling working class people that they’re unhappy at the noise.

 

Do your job and the atmosphere will increase.

I’d gone for a quick piss and sat down to see this in total confusion.

 

They couldn’t find some decent, honourable charity to bring into Wembley for an ovation?

 

The match thread had the Liverpool autistic foundation and some national variation of that  - it would have meant the world to them.

VAR

I'm coming to the conclusion the answer is "all of it". Watching the game yesterday just didn't fill me with joy, from the overenthusiastic super reds cheering every little thing like it was a goal, the apathetic Man City fans who spent the entire game on their phones, the guys next to me more interested in the impact on their fantasy football teams and the friends I watched it with who only seem to be in for the "banter". Throw in the refereeing and VAR shitfest and I wonder what it is I love[d] about the game.

 

I feel completely deflated today and it's not because of the result, it's the lack of enjoyment I took from any of it. It's probably a sign I'm done with it, I'd much rather have spent the time with my family.
