We have very different interpretations of the word interested.

 

My local pub is full of football fans and various screens showing different games. Virtually all my friends love it and watch too - it's pretty nigh on impossible to ignore completely. That's not being particularly interested, it's just seeing what is around you. I only see snatches of the games anyway, most are completely boring *in my opinion*.

Just back from France where we had one hell of a time, experienced the whole range of emotions associated with being a football supporter, before, perhaps predictably, being sent home "Tae think again

Agreed,this really does annoy me. I don't like NFL or Baseball but I don't go on those threads just to tell people that, I just ignore them.

Football seems the only game / thread that people feel the need to tell others they don't like it. Envy , jealousy perhaps,  a deep loathing,  presumably The Masked Poster now we know how he or she feels won't be back. 

On to football matters, so Steven Gerrard sacked, so it transpires beating the likes of Kilmarnock,  St Mirren and the like isn't necessarily what it takes to manage a Premier league club.

I'm willing to bet I was watching football before you bud, I aren't coming on to say how much I hate it, I used to love it. But seeing games (with so much at stake) decided by ludicrous decisions that seem to rule out the physical element, for me, is a turn off. I'd actually go further and say it deserves ridicule but that's not my reason for posting. I'll leave you to enjoy it in peace now.

I watched the Torquay/Altrincham game (i always say Altringham) and what a match. Torquay are bottom whilst the robins were just above the drop zone. Altrincham went 0-2 up after 29mins, but then Torquay hit back to pull level, then on 81mins Torquay went 3-2 up. The robins pulled level on 85mins, but then Torquay had a player sent off on 88mins. Altrincham then took the lead again in the 90th minute, but in the 97th minute Torquay grabbed a point with the last kick of the game. It was a grandstand finish.

The Wrexham doc on Disney is brilliant. Really enjoyed it.

I keep an eye out on their results now..

Wonder what they will say about the Paul Mullin boot scandal? 🙂

IMO people from Liverpool should get one free shot at the Tories each without repercussions.

Biggest shock there is that Wrexham is a Tory seat... Changing my mind on whether i want them to be successful or not now...!

Did anyone see the highlights of the Charlton/Ipswich game ?. What a match i can’t blame some of the Charlton fans leaving the ground in injury time i would’ve done that myself. I wonder how many Ipswich fans left thinking the game was won. Football can be an amazing sport.

I see LFC have drawn RM in the CL. LFC doesn't have a good record against them. The good part is if they are going to meet RM sometime and lose, better to do it sooner rather than later. LFC will be struggling to make top 4 in the PL and they can then put their focus on that endeavour at what will be for the club a critical part of the domestic season.

It takes wisdom to know when a discussion has run its course.

It takes reasonableness to end that discussion.

Ebbsfleet v Fleetwood in FA Cup being shown on ITV.

One of Ebbsfleet’s sponsors 247 Blinds is the main Hunslet RLFC sponsor. About every 5 mins the perimeter advertising shows 247 Blinds and then Hunslet RLFC, so we shall again, all in Hunslet’s colours. It’s a bit left field advertising wise but it’s great to see.

I thought I saw that when I was flicking channels and did a double take!
