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

I hate losing consecutive games. I'm old fashioned and can't get used to it.

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

More like REM and "It's the end of the world as we know it and I feel fine".

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

I watch lots of non-league football and unfortunately there's plenty of timewasting, pretend injuries and attempts to con the referee at all levels of the game. It's endemic.

When I think about football objectively, I don't know why I'm still interested.

But supporting a team is a sort of addiction. Very hard to give up completely. Even if I walked away completely, I'd never be quit of it. Even if City went out of existence, they'd still be burned into my heart. The truth is I could never follow anyone else and I don't give a flying fuck about the great majority of other teams.

8.15 kick offs
Sunday games
All international football
Sterile maximum 3000 away allocations
Recording the game on phones
People doubling up in seats and making it all very uncomfortable
European group games, format is shite, would go back to old 2 legged format
The changing demographic of our home support, and the pricing out of locals

It's the fake head injury thing that really does my head in.
Also goalies taking a seat pretending just so the rest of the team can go to the sideline for a chat with the manager.
The other thing is the epidemic of players grabbing other players by the shirt or what have you when they get past them in midfield. This is a new thing isn't it or have I just never noticed the last 50 years?

Basically what you say is that you are missing City as a standard second division team.

We've spent over 80% of our history in the top division so could never be described as a "standard second division team".

A few weeks ago I went to watch my local non league team Trafford fc. Went for a pint in the pub 100 yards from the ground. in for a tenner, Very cold Thatcher's cider in a can £2ish. Sat drinking them with my mate watching the game and really enjoyed the whole experience. A far removed experience of travelling for hours, crowded trams and necking a pint of the devils piss in a miserable concourse. It has got me thinking.

Criticizing fans for under or over celebrating a goal.
