David Somni Jennings Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 I've struggled to find interest in a lot of football for a couple of seasons now - When you can place a bet on a defender to make two tackles in a game, and get a decent return, that suggests to me the game is no longer exciting. Same applies on strikers, decent odds for a main striker to have 2 shots on target? Not even score, just hit the target, suggests the game as a whole lacks entertainment. International football is a whole different level - I'd rather they just did little qualifying tournaments, during the summers when the world cup or Euros isnt on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly, then they complain of fixture pile up later in the season. Just leave the game alone, get the feeling some bigwig somewhere is trying to justify their jobs with stupid ideas. VAR being the pinnacle of their stupidity. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew_Owl Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 Same, think when things are properly back to normal I will do groundhopping rather than watching Wednesday every week 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whitecap Owl Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 I only watch the 3 England games each World Cup (sarcasm intended) Not particularly interested in the upcoming Qatr one because it really just makes NO sense to put the tournament there unless you are Blatters bank manager.

Socialist_Owl Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 I already hated international breaks. It's unconscionable to still have them with the current state of world affairs. Capitalist money grab for the biggest scum, parading behind the ugly spectre of cheap nationalism (playing for country). Barf. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm off to Cheshire on Sunday to watch Swallownest in the FA VAse though. Its great to be travelling to away grounds again. Is it just me - or is anyone else no longer fully up to date with fixtures? (Apparently its Birmingham next week. (AWAY) I remember you goin through a swallow nest phase a few years ago..it dint last long tho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plonk Posted October 10, 2020 Share Posted October 10, 2020 I wonder if the love will return when crowds do. Or will people have lost the habit? i also wonder if sky subscriptions have gone up or down during the closure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poite Posted October 10, 2020 Share Posted October 10, 2020 For me an International break is the same as the been no football on at all. Il have a look at the England result and laugh at the Scotland one. that's how far my interest goes tbh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
