Fucking Football

[FridgeMagnet]

Watching a football team play is really not very much like watching a band play, except in the sense of "you are watching some people do stuff", in which case watching a football team is also like watching people take the bins out.

How much are the tickets?

How much are the tickets?

Just for you, I'll do a special price of fifteen quid. So relatively very economical. They do it all year round too, mostly, and it's never rained off.

 

[Hi-ASL]

Sounds reasonable. I'll see if I can drum up any interest.

i wouldnt bother trying to convince the curmudgeonly old goat. Peeps that dont like football are like peeps who dislike animals or children, ie: weird.

Don't be a twat, cheesy.

Were you the last to be picked in the playground?

No, fucko. As I pointed out earlier in the thread, I use to play football for my school and was a nifty leftwinger. Sorry to spoil your wanker stereotype

 

[badlands]

There are no nifty left wingers anymore.

Its a lost art.

 

[Maggot]

Eh?

It's on the RADIO. Not BBC TV

It's only replaced the normal show on digital radio. Surely you have an old FM one lying about.

Apols if this point has already been made.

Touchy! Oooh. Admit it. You couldn't hit a barn door.

So do you like playing it?

 

[El Jefe]

It's just a bit tiresome having a shabby carnival of second rate fuckwits like yourself parading past with predictable, inane and thoroughly infantile comments about people who don't like football.

Kinda serves to reinforce stereotypes some non-football fans might have about the kind of pricks that like it, eh?

 

[El Jefe]

So do you like playing it?

Nah, I found it dull. I was then supposed to have trials for my county playing rugby but didn't bother showing up, cos i found that boring too.

Of course, dear. Don't post about it then, nancy-boy.

Nancy boy?

Dear oh dear oh dear.

 

[lights.out.london]

G'wan and explain the off-side rule.

[Maggot]

Nope

You're wrong. I heard the Danny Baker show from 3-4.30 on FM.

I meant nope, I don't have an FM radio.

"Howard again being asked a question". God I hate that. He didn't 'ask' him anything, he just rattled the ball at him as hard as he could.

No wonder some people hate it.

 

[Cheesypoof]

Seriously though, whats to hate about football? Im curious as to what is dislikable about it...or is there some other reason why you dont like it, that isnt to do with the game itself, but your memories playing it like some incident that put you off?

 

[strung out]

some people like it, some people don't. bit like everything in this world

It's just boring.

The problem is that many people who don't find it boring don't seem to understand why or care that it might be to someone else.

There are lots of things that I find interesting, that other people don't. I tend not to go on about those things endlessly in the company of people that don't find them interesting, and more importantly I don't treat the people that don't find them interesting like social misfits.

E2A:

It's not just that it's boring, it also represents a kind of mob/tribal culture that I'm not really into.
