Football pet hates

I can't ever imagine my dad losing his interest in football and he's 62.  I think you just have to accept, as you get older, that everything in life changes and people are more likely to look back on what they remember as being better.

But Clarke said that there was a danger that young adults between 18 and 30 were being priced out of top-flight football and instead watching in the pub or on illegal streams online. "It's very important that we keep football accessible. The evidence indicates that the 18-30 age group, when people come out of the family tickets and have to pay in their own right, is declining," said Clarke.

 

"There is a danger of future generations being lost. If it doesn't maintain its attraction to all sections of the community, they are selling the national game short."

 

I do wonder if the next generation of fans to come through won't have been taken to games much due to prices and then won't bother. Can see attendances plummeting in 10-20 years.

 

Good on Clarke, need more people in the game to be constantly bringing attention to this type of thing. It's all wrong at the moment.

The money side of the game.  Admission prices are off the scale. Premier league games regularly cost £40+. Wages are too high,  resulting in players choosing clubs like QPR ahead of  a well supported club with a beautiful stadium like ourselves.  Not bitter eh?  Also this season in general.  It's not just what is or isn't happening at the toon. Its things like reading coming back from the dead v WBA, then Southampton coming back from 2 down at Chelsea.  Sometimes seems like a conspiracy.

Players who commit fouls on purpose, or know they have fouled someone, yet still have the front to have a go at the ref when he gives it.

The switch from 'ages to go, to THERE'S NO TIME' when going from being in front, to drawing and then inevitably falling behind.

nah, I categorize that along with things like appealing for every single throw. Acceptable kidology. Depends what you mean by having a go mind

on an unrelated note, is there a way to make this forum darker? I can never line up the last post and the thread title, it's light-on-light

Whoever thought it was a good idea to introduce user comments to the BBC Sport website wants fucking shooting.

 

In what way?  They are shite or the idiots that make the comments?

" I'll have to see that one again " by commentators/co-commentators when and incident has taken place.  Well, yeah, okay, just don't then go criticize the ref, because he doesn't get that luxury of replays.

 

Oh, and Niall Quinn co-commentating.  :rolleyes:
