Wellers and Whitehead Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 Ha..I don't mind it, prefer to watch it in real life rather than on the TV. My uncle presents a SKY footy show which I went to watch him record last week...I used to play it at primary school, no rules, just hit it and no off side rules...that's how it should be ha!

Counting Stars Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 Haha its not my thing either lol. Hubby loves it and while watching a game he always says oh look look, did you see that, watch this etc even rewinds it so I don't miss a "great goal" and I'm like oh yeah... really couldn't care less about football lol x x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lindor Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 I love it! My Dad used to take me and my sister to St James's Park when we were kids. Love watching it at home with my Dad or in the pub with my cousin and his mates when I'm back home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not that bothered by it either. I used to watch World Cup matches but couldn't get in to the league games at all. My (Aussie) OH would watch a bit but he always used to complain that there weren't enough goals scored. Having watched Aussie rules I know where he is coming from. I really can't watch rugby though - just don't understand it at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest51810 Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 I don't absolutely hate it but I don't love it either. I played football at primary school, I refused to play netball instead lol. I've only ever been to one game and it was Celtic and Motherwell. I used to like watching the old firm games on a weekend because the atmosphere was good and we would usually have Dave's friends up for some drinks. I couldn't tell you the first thing about any of the football rules though lol. Dave always wanted to go see a Madrid game and kept asking me to go but I always said no because it would be a complete waste of time for me, should of just went for the city break and made him go to the game himself! :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daveakaginge Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 The reason you lady's don't like it, is because it brings pleasure to men, and that's what you really don't like :wink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Que Sera Sera Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 Can't stand soccer boring overpaid prima donna sexist pigs.

I think they should scrap the half time analysis bit!Drives me absolutely crazy!:laugh:Why talk about stuff thats already been and gone?You can hit the repeat button but it won't change anything!I've just asked my OH about the half time thing and he's just admitted it also drives him crazy and that he's going to switch channels/fast froward when it comes on!lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M1cha3la Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 I just do not get football. My dad tried to explain the off side rule using shoes hoping it would relate. I still dont get it. Like a pp said, rugby = men in tighter shorts, now that i can happily watch :biggrin: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tam tam Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 I love sport and moving to uk I figured I have to like football! Great game I have learnt to appreciate the footwork and the luck sometimes involved in winning by such tight margins. I grew up on rugby so that's still my game though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ali Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 I've been watching football since I was 7 years old and my dad took me to a game. He also ran junior teams and I was the secretary for the club at 16 and went to league meetings. Now I'm manger (means secretary) of my sons team sending out match details, organising rosters etc. Love the game, much to hubby's delight as there's never any arguments of what to watch on TV.

Guest Ptp113 Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 Girlie Boys nil vs Girlie Boys nil. No wonder they are bored shite less and just want to bash each other, and they're starting to do it here. Thank god real football is king in Oz!
