The shitness of modern football

[dickie mint]

Slightly less demeaning than Viagra.

 

At least with Subway and Viagra he can get an 8 Incher.

[Liverpool lad]

Yeah those Skybox F5s are the business. All the sport even Setanta Ireland so you can watch 3pm Saturday footie. Problem with them is there is no HD and if you want to watch anything on box office you can't. On the plus side though if you find porn on the inter web a little to x rated you can view the porn on sky.

You can get the ppv fights

With or without the Mayonnaise?

Play off trophies.

 

Getting promoted is the prize, why give them a trophy.

 

Don't mind the play offs a such but the trophy is totally unnecessary.

Club twitter account have moved on from today's debacle. Its time to celebrate 'instanbul day'

Fucking weird arent they? Doesnt the club coming second in the leagues thereby getting automatic promotion not get a trophy but, the teams that win promotion by the play offs do?

[Trumo]

10 years to the day after a momentous comeback to win the European Cup for keeps in Istanbul, we are here foaming at the mouth after an utterly abject 6-1 twatting at fucking Stoke.

Yeah, just more modern footy bullshit.

 

It's like they have to give them a trophy because it's at Wembley and on sky.

 

Total bollocks

[Original202]

There is a trophy for the Championship, League 1 & 2 runners up too

The increasingly corporate nature of football has already been mentioned several times in this thread, but one of the many aspects of it that irritates me is that not only are the corporates given loads of tickets to big games leaving proper supporters out, but they are usually placed in the stand directly opposite the TV camera. These people cannot be arsed with the game and are too busy quaffing all the free champagne and munching on canapés to bother getting to their seats for the start of each half, so all you see are swathes of empty seats. Any new stadium designed to UEFA/FIFA specifications guarantees this shitfest.

[Harry Squatter]

Wembley this weekend will be like that

[Trumo]

Wembley is like that in every game.

Small football business beaten by slightly larger one

03-12-12

FOOTBALL business AFC Wimbledon has been outperformed by a rival company with more resources and a similar name.

 

Each team of football workers wore appropriately-coloured ties

Mk Dons was slightly more efficient at outputting its product than AFC Wimbledon, who were competing for a revenue stream called the FA Cup.

 

Yesterday’s match was controversial because the losing company was founded in the same location as the winning company, which had relocated to save cash and jobs.

 

Over 3,000 customers of the new business showed their dislike for the old one by travelling over 60 miles to pay money to sit in its stadium complaining about the fact it’s only interested in money.

 

Employee Jon Otsemobor scored a goal as per his employment contract, which was enough for his employers to win.

 

MK Dons team leader Karl Robinson said: “Every little boy dreams of maximising revenue for a business that owns a patch of grass.

 

“In a few weeks time we’ll go to Sheffield to try and earn our bosses some more money.”

The FA Cup will be rebranded as The Emirates FA Cup next season after the Football Association announced a three-year sponsorship deal with Emirates Airline.

 

what a load of crap :(

[Special K]

Probably already been mentioned but a 5.30pm kick off for the FA Cup final is shite

[Reckoner]

Hmm, I wonder who The Emirates want to win today. Good publicity photos for them. Corrupt to fuck.

[chris71]

Aston Villa getting to a Cup final and the fans having piss taking Gerrard birthday parties, maverlous.

How do you get PPV on them?

That's what I came to post.  Just glanced at the clock, ooh FA Cup kicks off in 45 minutes.  Then I remembered.

 

Especially cuntish move by the FA when you consider travelling time for northern fans, which of course they don't.  Bad enough from the North West but it's probably a good job that Newcastle aren't likely to get there any time soon.

 

The argument that it was moved for the tea-time tv audience doesn't stack up either.  I'm watching tv in one of three places; my house, a mate's house of the pub.

 

If it's in my house it doesn't matter what time it's on, I'm fucking here anyway.

 

If it's in a mate's house most of them have to argue the toss with their wives for weeks about it because it means they'll have a bunch of lads round getting bevvied at Saturday tea time.

 

If it's in a pub, most of my mates find it easier to get a pass for Saturday afternoon than Saturday evening.

 

Throw in a pink ball on top of all that and the FA can get to fuck.  They'd do better spending a bit less time and effort grandstanding at the FIFA conference and sucking Prince William's dick and a bit more time focused on the basics.

Since when have Villa been our rivals they really need to get a life :rolleyes:

I forgot about that pink ball. I hate it. I also find it difficult to see. Anyone else have that problem?

Champions League final is next week.  On Saturday.

 

You can fuck off now modern football.

There was 11 fellas in red who struggled last month with it.
