football dying on it's feet???

Pretty pink fairy · Oct 5, 2013

sad to say i'm afraid , home much longer before the money go round crashes , fair to say that some of the players appalling antics on the pitch are becoming a piss take to the punter , players running around with things written on their vests after scoring , obscene wages , TV coverage dictating everything , seems to me football fans have been brainwashed.............. happy to accept that

I miss the Goldstone days. It may have been outdated but it was a proper football ground.

He's living in another time. 40 years ago. The world has moved on since then, football has gone with it. Some people haven't.

Wages? Well if people didn't buy sky they couldn't pay them.

Antics? Well thats always been happening in one form or another.

TV coverage? See above about wages.

Brainwashed punters? Rubbish. Apathetic punters? Possibly. Accepting punters? Yes.

What's the solution? Do nothing. Or do something so what do you do. Stop going, stop buying sky (I'll never have sky) stop watching in a pub?

People who look back and complain are as guilty as everyone else. If you don't like it now you should have done something in 1993.

Or not done things in the 70's & 80's that forced football into changing.

Also very true. I wonder if the op can see the irony.

Which is the issue isn't it, only your narrow minded view

Big industry now as opposed to small time previously

If you took your rose coloured specs for a minute off you would know it was a shithole with a dire atmosphere in the 90s.
