trophyshy 7066 Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 (edited) Football is shit. The only joy to be had is taking the piss these days. I know social workers who devote their lives to helping others and effectively live like paupers. These selfish, arrogant wankers live in insane, affluent opulence for absolute mediocrity in an incredibly trivial pursuit. Mike Ashley is the thick end of the wedge in what has become an industry of occasional entertainment and continuous greed. It is shit. I can't imagine ever going to see live PL football again. I think Ashley will own Newcastle when he is a 150 year old brain in a jar, his motivation to stay alive being twofold; become the richest cunt on Earth and stick it to those nasty Geordies year in year out.

PaddockLad 16752 Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 Critical thinking is not in the nature of our support. I don't know why that's worn as a badge of honour tbh. When fans club together and take action against dodgy owners and regimes, there's something about that to admire. When they just turn up every week for their regular arse fucking, I'm sorry but I don't see how that's anything to be proud of. Don't really disagree tbh, I'd had a few last night and the way ADPs post was phrased was pretty unsavoury to say the least when referring to people who are supposed to support the same club. However, there 5.136 billion reasons why going or not going won't make a blind bit of difference. Those with a sky subscription would br better chucking that in tbh it would have more effect.

Alex 34313 Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 (edited) That just about nails it like. Someone was asking me if I was going to start going back to SJP when I could take the bairns. I realised I had no intention of indoctrinating them and would probably even prefer it if they didn't want to go. I'm not even arsed about them playing. Even at junior level there's everything from the utter cuntery of a large proportion of the knackers watching their bairns to the complete incompetence of those attempting to coach the sides. I'd rather they boxed, played cricket or whatever. It's been taken away from people like Stevie and given to people like CT.

Kid Dynamite 6906 Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 There's a world of football out there for football fans that doesn't involve the premier league like. Gateshead, Blyth and all of the Northern League clubs for a start I saw NUFC under 18s on Monday night and Blyth v Whitley Bay in the NSC semis last night for the grand total of £5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went and saw them at the weekend, and they lost against THE worst side I've seen in many years. They had 2 attacks Nuneaton and scored 2 goals.

I was talking about two different (but related) things at the same time. Obviously it's slightly moot given my influence on what they will like, want to do is somewhat limited (given I don't want to be the sort of overbearing parent who tries to make them 'love the Toon' or be the next Alan Shearer). I'm not going to encourage their going to the match before they can make informed choices because of the state of the club / top flight football in general. The reasons for not being particular inclined to have them play football competitively at a young age is because of the poor coaching, facilities, fucking fruit loop parents (usually the mothers) and the cliqueness that seems to go hand in hand with the latter. I picked a couple of examples of sports I feel are better options for several reasons but, again, that'll be up to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Dynamite 6906 Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 (edited) I took the point Alex was making to be that there are too many tits at either end of football. I disagree. Pushy dads coaching junior school under 10s isn't the face of amateur football. Edit- just seen your post above. That's only one side of kids football. There's charter clubs these days that have floodlit 3G to train on and UEFA qualified coaches teaching the kids. It's not all like the school match in Kes anymore, although that's an easy narrative for the media to portray when sticking the boot into why England are so shit Edited February 18, 2015 by TheRollingStones Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
