The shitness of modern football

[Trumo]

Ticket prices for Cardiff for the European Cup Final through the UEFA ballot:

 

£60, £140, £275 and £390.

 

And I'll bet UEFA make no more than about 15,000 tickets available to fans of each finalist, with 4 times that number going to corporates and the 'UEFA Family'.

Think you'll be pretty much spot on with that.

The 2016 CL final at the San Siro - each team got 23,000 tickets while the "UEFA Family" got 25,500.

National teams releasing 3rd kits when they have even less use for them than club sides. Nike have just released a navy 3rd kit for England which will probably be used no more than twice between now and the World Cup. At least one of those instances will be when there is no obvious clash with the opponents' kit anyway. Then as is the way before major tournaments, Nike will supply its teams with super duper brand new designs with the latest technology to draw sweat from the skin despite most players wearing a base layer beneath their shirt anyway.

Which will cost £75

Which will mostly end up on one of those rip off cunt websites where the person selling it will want about 5 times the face value.

Fucking hell. I'd understand if it was a charity auction or something, for a shirt worn during a special match. But just a bog standard new shirt with a grid of squiggles on it? Henry obviously needs a bigger boat.

No doubt the players aren't allowed to stop for autographs for kids outside Melwood now for health and safety purposes. Nothing at all to do with facilitating more official fleecing.

[lifetime fan]

I wouldn't pay £7 for it.

 

Cunts.

Hey, JH and his merrie men aren't making a bean out of the club, it's true because jimmycase said so.

[El Rojo]

Ashley Williams.

 

Typically snide challenge on Can today.

 

A millionaire many times over for being average at what he does. Gets to play in an international tournament because of Gareth Bale.

[lifetime fan]

Squad numbers are fucking ridiculous nowadays.

 

Used to be ace only having them for international tournaments as a kid, didn't even mind it when it first was used in the league.

 

But today you had TAA playing with 66 on his back - it's fucking stupid and shit.

And that thing they do where they "retire" numbers. I can sort of get it as a mark of respect when a player dies tragically i.e. Marc Vivien Foe, but when a player just retires and they retire the number with him, thats just fucking stupid.

 

Apparently the number 3 shirt at Milan can only be issued to either of Maldinis sons, both of whom are in the Milan youth setup. Ridiculous.

I really despise the storm twitter/fb whips up. All the fuss about Daniel Craig yesterday, he's a known fan and regular. Don't think I can post links on my phone but the Echo has reported it.

Some Talksport bloke having a 'meltdown' because 'Bond' is a red! Bond isn't real!

I actually thought yesterday how many times did the cameras point to him. Mental

And he was a Red before he was Bond.

Pretty much like the names on backs of shirts if you ask me. Unless you've eyes like a hawk, you cant read the names once a player is 20 metres away and anyway, you should be able to recognise your own club's players.

 

In Italy, you've got keepers wearing 99 for fucks sake. We've got arsenal to thank for this shite who wanted squad numbers and names on shirts then, decided they didnt want it but the league wouldnt change their minds.

I think it was Mike Parry yet another bitter blue who can't handle the spectre of coming to Anfield.
