Football haters camp June-July 2014

and beauty is in the eye of the beer holder.

 

You have to play or have played a sport to appreciate it I think. I never played footy and find it dull. However millions of people did play when they were nippers and older and clearly see something in it that I miss.
I would happily watch sailing dinghy racing for hours and sometimes go to my old sailing club to do just that, because I understand the subtlties (and it's nice to sit in the sun, see old friends, have a beer...

 

i used to i used to go to internationals in the eightys too, argentina , brazil , italy, n more but its too expensive now and we are c rap at it compared to the old days , speedway my other luv is heading the same way because of money too

 

Forgot the Tour Fe France in the Republic of Yorkshire. It's had it's issues and I've had to get rid of my Lance Armstrong books but again still not the hype that football gets only for disappointment. Even the manager doesn't think they'll win so why go to all the expense when it's only going to be a glorified holiday.

 

I played for the school but still don't care for it.

 

Were you watching?

 

no playing against you

 

I can't say I have much love for football - I tried to watch a few games in the last world cup but England were as frustrating to watch as ever.

Looking forward to the Rugby League World Cup (although I daresay England will be frustrating in that too)

 

Who me? No.

 

No not you Mr Rubble.

 

As long as they get through to the semis. I've got my tickets last week.

 

Only got tickets for England v Ireland so far - went to loads of games in 2000 including the final and the games in Cardiff - playing it by ear this year as we have other weekends booked up

 

It'll be good watching the brilliance of the Englishman known as Rangi Chase again.

 

That's my theory scuppered then!

 

What about you footbal lovers? Did you all play as nippers?

 

I never played much at school, played on the local estate a bit. Played rugby instead at school. Started playing football at 29! Now play twice a week.

 

I think I was picked because I is big and was put in five a side goal and yes I did still let them in.
