James Posted November 22, 2007 Share Posted November 22, 2007 Out of interest, would people who say they are not bothered suddenly become bothered if Shearer was appointed? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nobby Posted November 22, 2007 Share Posted November 22, 2007 Doesn't necessarily apply to you but a few on here (who are English) see it as the badge of honour Wullie mentioned imo. See Nobby for example. Could a user name be more apt btw? why do you want everyone to care? surely it is a personal choice I couldn't care less, hopefully Owen will now realise he has nothing to look forward to with Engerland Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You either do or you don't. I can't understand why a football fan couldn't care about their own country though. It makes no sense to me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted November 22, 2007 Share Posted November 22, 2007 Out of interest, would people who say they are not bothered suddenly become bothered if Shearer was appointed? I'd certainly have more of an interest. I'd have a greater desire for us to do well. I used to be a fairly big England fan, not on the scale of Newcastle, but fairly big. Infact, i was a big fan during the World Cup last year and was gutted when we went out. Since then though, the international set-up has been a joke; and while i'm usually fairly un-arsed about qualifiers anyway (cos they're usually plain sailing), it's been very difficult to care this time round because it's obvious that we're going nowhere. The FA? Pfft. McClaren? Joke of a manager. Wouldn't piss on various of the underachieving players, either. I love it when the likes of Barry, Hargreaves, Wright-Phillips and Richards get a run in the team. Likeable players who should be playing. Not the standard elite.

Guest alex Posted November 22, 2007 Share Posted November 22, 2007 You can tell Yorkie's young if he reckons England's qualification is normally plain sailing Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted November 22, 2007 Share Posted November 22, 2007 I knew someone would say that. But to be fair... since i've been supporting England, there's been the odd blip along the way but no real trouble. And when this group came out, there was absolutely no reason to suggest otherwise. We tend to get atleast one 'big name' in the group, but we didn't even get that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest elbee909 Posted November 22, 2007 Share Posted November 22, 2007 I don't think caring is something you do choose actually. You either do or you don't. I can't understand why a football fan couldn't care about their own country though. It makes no sense to me. Some people just aren't nationalistic, surely that makes some sense? That they don't feel the need to define themselves as belonging to a bunch of people they don't really know, simply down to the bit of earth they happened to be born on collectively. All this stuff doesn't necessarily relate to football in the slightest. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colos Short and Curlies Posted November 22, 2007 Share Posted November 22, 2007 Couldn't care less. Geordie first, English a distant second (which is great when you live in Wales and everyone is trying to goad you after a result like last night....) Have enough pain following the Toon to be prepared to be put through the mill with Ingerland as well, plus you know that had we qualified the whole country would be like a N-O post after the Toon have won a game, only multiplied by 100.

Mowen Posted November 22, 2007 Share Posted November 22, 2007 Pissed off. Summer far less enjoyable. Those sayin 'couldn't give a rats arse' can't be English, or they're jumping on the ludicrous 'I didn't want us to qualify, that'll show us' bandwagon.

ChezGiven Posted November 22, 2007 Share Posted November 22, 2007 Very disappointed. Its shit not being there and i'm sure the tournament will be good to watch but something will be missing. I think it didnt help with the 94 final being one of the worst in memory but i just couldnt get into that tournament properly. If you like going to the pub to watch the games then its not the same when you dont really have a stake in the outcome. If you're younger than 28 then that probably didnt bother you in 94 though.

Nobody Posted November 22, 2007 Share Posted November 22, 2007 Like Chez, the reason I'm bothered is because the tournament itself will be boring. I'm not actually that bothered about England doing well, I mean, of course I want England to do well, but it's just not THAT important to me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair, the fact that most of the games were on TV very early morngin might also have something to do with the general feeling of that tournament Japorea was also a bit of a squib due to the timing of some kick offs (although a bacon butty and pint of beer at 7am was quite a novelty) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
