Present Day Football, Fans and Any Other Stuff You Hate About It!

[ysmsa]

For me the game is over coached, the days of maverick players are finished, sure you see a few bits od individual skill but 70% of all games are sideways.

I blame widescreen televisions!

 

[argyle]

I even hate the City ones.

Those moaning fuckers do not speak for me or represent our fanbase.

One was calling out Walker this week and demanding he did post-match interviews because he as a fan he’s ‘entitled to hear from the captain’. Fuck off!

Another was calling the players an embarrassment last week when we lost to Juventus. Fuck off!

They all need to shut the fuck up!

I was especially thinking of the City ones.

They used to be ok but now even the news aggregators like City Xtra are awful.

They've put out a tweet about Walker today inviting more over the top criticism.

Blocked them. They're not fans.

That Speed dickhead getting onto Sky Sports was a dark moment for football coverage in this country.

Finishing 4th in your league and u can be European champions bullshit

TBF it's always been possible. Notts Forrest, 2 European Cups, 1 league title. They deserve it for sponsoring Arsenal with free kit back when the game actually needed 'supporters'.

Bollocks. Are you saying the winners shouldn't qualify for the following season?

Ridiculously loud music and fireworks before every game completely destroying any chance of fan made atmosphere. American bullshit.

5 substitutions
Squad numbers
Stopping play for “injured “ players
Fake injuries
Too many tv games
Lack of excitement for FA Cup
Young lads (or girls) rarely being able to attend games in groups together
Playing the likes of Real Madrid or Bayern Munich nearly every season instead of being a once in a generation event

Sounds like non league might be up your street mate. Closest you'll get to proper football now

Footballers and their incessant diving, feigning injury, forced ‘Time Outs’ while a player has a sit down, fake limping, time wasting, claiming everything is their ball, moving the ball off the mark, arguing against every single decision…

Tourists, day trippers, nobodies, half’n’half “friendship” scarves, fans wearing other teams’ colours in home sections of our stadium, fans of the opposition in our home sections, fans of opposition players in our home sections, general football visitor non-City fan (nor fans of the opposition) in our home sections when those tickets could go to a local fan, constantly ignoring and doing things contrary to the wishes of the core fanbase, calling us ‘Legacy Fans’, prioritising global ‘fans’ over local core fans, advertising themselves to global ‘fans’ yet the club having no presence in areas like Wythenshawe (the largest district in Manchester with a gigantic City following, yet never see the club active down here in any way whatsoever), Trophy Tours all over the world and never in Manchester for local fans, big groups of kids from Scotland/London/Birimgham/USA sat together in big chunks in the ground and never groups from Manchester, YouTube dickheads and OnlyFans slags being given tickets for City games when those tickets could go to proper core fans…

Incessant season ticket price rises, constant stupid match ticket prices for games, the price of tickets for kids, no new Season Tickets, no ticket initiatives for local people like Liverpool have, real lack of numbers of cheap tickets like German clubs have in huge numbers, Platinum Loyalty Points, kicking fans out of seats to create new types of areas and in some cases not giving those fans seats with people they used to sit with or not giving them seats at all, core fans who used to have season tickets not being allowed one back yet chunks of seats are available on foreign tour and foreign tout sites, despite years of fans wanting a proper home stand for atmosphere the club building one and then not making it specifically for atmosphere despite it probably being the last ever chance we’ll have to have a dedicated proper home end for atmosphere, games like the Madrid semi where tickets went to any wanker who wanted one by signing up the day before and not to City fans, the way away ticket allocations are divided and handled with a massive issue with far too many tickets not going to our core supporter base…

Stupid gimmicks like the Moon being associated with Manchester City when the Moon has got fuck all to do with our football club, Blue Moon banners on the pitch, a Blue Moon on the big screens, Moon crater print on kits, aliens from the Moon as mascots… we are the Citizens (look up the meaning of that word), City from the city of Manchester, Mancunians, aim to be Manchester City FC, not portraying us as some generic non-Manchester specific bollocks like we’re called AFC Moon City or something…

Signing up to the European Super League, releasing a statement by Joel Goazer as our official statement on the matter, staying silent over the disgraceful Istanbul car park situation, sending close-up pictures of Blues invading the pitch to the press yet when Liverpool fans hospitalised a teenage girl those amazing cameras that zoomed in to pick out freckles on City fans’ noses against Villa couldn’t pick out a single one of the Lpool fans throwing things down at City fans, bringing out statements in the media reprimanding our support for things like ‘Tragedy Chanting’ or graffiti on toilet cubicles of a word City fans never use before any proof was established or where they don’t understand that ‘It’s never your fault’ is not a tragedy chant, yet never having our backs when we need them…

I’m picturing Billy Joel singing this and ending with ‘We didn’t start the fire’ ….
