Is anyone still give a fuck about footy?

Postby spy » Tue Oct 17, 2017 7:27 am

Strange question on a footy forum.

I've really stopped giving a fuck about football in general. Still lookout for our results and get mildly pissed off if we've lost (for about 5 minutes) and then I forget about it. If we win, I'll watch MOTD but usually just see the goals on hoofoot. I didn't know our game v the scum was on Saturday afternoon until I got in the car it was on the radio.

Well there you are mon amigo

Yeah my life circumstances mean I don’t get to watch live football anymore, and modern online society (although I’m outside that) means motd is outdated and you don’t watch if your team isn’t a main match, defo don’t watch if we lose.

Then the whole fucking thing has been deviated into success/profit/marketing

My typing is still shit. Meant to say "Does anyone.."

The business angle didn't bother me as much as it now. I'm not sure how much the players really give a fuck when they lose. Still getting anything from 25k-300k per week, getting adulation wherever they go and FHM bitches throwing themselves at them. I think fans get more pissed off then players.

I haven't gotten into this season at all yet. I enjoyed the Arsenal result but the rest has just been barely a blip on the radar.

I'm not sure what's changed, I think the Neymar thing might have been what broke me.

I was talking to the lad at work about it. He feels the same way at 25. I don't know if it is over exposure. I pretty much watch every match now, where as in the past you'd be looking through Radio Rentals shop window to see the score on teleytext before moving on.

I don't think it's the money, but I just don't get behind the individual players like you would Fowler, Gerrard, Sami Hyypia even.

I didnt realise this was on tonight,and it aint that long ago I would be on edge all day of a champs league match.
Its a combo of so many things in my view, over exposure , outdated / unexciting/ drawn out competition formats, players who dont give a fuck, growing older, modern life etc
I find games are way too long to keep interested in, an hour would be about right

Players being media trained has sucked the charisma out of things as well. Gazza and Ruddock and that were pissheads but at least they were a laugh. Fowler doing that line sniff thing.

Troy Deeney gave a good account of himself on BT Sport after they beat Arsenal and had the guts to say what he really thought on camera. More of that is needed to reconnect the players with the fans. The ordinary punter can see though the usual bullshit stock answers.

The two best players in the world are shit as well, one is well boring and the other is a closet bender.
