Opposing fans unable to have a civil conversation without it coming down to one up man ship, prehistoric tribal rivalry or straight up wummery.
You've obviously never been to Switzerland, the majority of fans could never afford to go there, it's a seriously expensive countryWhen two teams that are based far from the venue get to a final and people demand the stadium be moved to a neutral location nearer to where the teams are based. As if the only preparation and planning for these events is to stick a pin in a map two or three weeks before.
Every World Cup should be held in Switzerland because its silly that the majority of fans from Europe where most of the teams come from have to travel so far
So if Messi, Ronaldo, Kane or any top player wore number 41 you wouldn't be keen on them?One of the reasons I'm not too keen on Rice is because he wears 41. That simply shouldn't be allowed.
I would find it supremely irritating.So if Messi, Ronaldo, Kane or any top player wore number 41 you wouldn't be keen on them?
I'd seriously question their judgment and their basic human decency.So if Messi, Ronaldo, Kane or any top player wore number 41 you wouldn't be keen on them?
I don't mind numbers like Keane sticking with 16, Scholes 18, Vidic 15, etc. but there's no reason for any senior player to have a number higher than 25.I hate big numbers on player's shirts too, anything over 20 gets on my nerves. I like the way Roy Keane stuck with 16 throughout his United career though, even though he surely could have taken a lower number. "16" became his trademark.
Rice has 41 because it was the first squad number he was given as a kid, he's proud of it, reminds him of where he started from so fair play to himI don't mind numbers like Keane sticking with 16, Scholes 18, Vidic 15, etc. but there's no reason for any senior player to have a number higher than 25.
Correct. It's not spring training baseball.I don't mind numbers like Keane sticking with 16, Scholes 18, Vidic 15, etc. but there's no reason for any senior player to have a number higher than 25.
This reference means nothing to me but I agree, it is not spring training baseball.Correct. It's not spring training baseball.
Get your point, but gotta disagree. That is a sacred sports number for many. It was Michael Jordan's number for the majority of his career.This reference means nothing to me but I agree, it is not spring training baseball.
That said, Luke Shaw being number 23 really winds me up because he was initially given the vacant 3, a far more sensible number.
Who are you to tell people what they can and can't chant?The "Who are ya" chant. It's ridiculously stupid. I hate it and I hate anyone who does it. Hope their shoes have a hole in them and the rainwater has made its way in there. Feck 'em.
I see what you did there.Who are you to tell people what they can and can't chant?
Totally agree. Back in the day you read the result and there was hardly even a match report, now you have it shown live on telly somewhere and its a "cup competition" and the broadcaster is trying to attach something to it because they bought the rights.The faux importance of pre-season matches. Increasingly fans are talking about individual performance and tactics in these games. I find it strange. The only reason we're even seeing these glorified fitness training sessions is because they make the club a few quid.
Reading fans critiquing performances of players is bizarre
I dare say when you get a bit older you'll realise early 20s is still being a kidPeople describing football players in their early 20s as kids. As if football exists in an alternate universe where normal rules don't apply
Yeah man, I see the shit I used to post in Facebook when I was in my early 20s and I feel ashamed of myself.I dare say when you get a bit older you'll realise early 20s is still being a kid
You might need to get used to that and many similar chants.“[insert shit backwater yonner team name] boys, we’re on a bender…[insert name of he who can’t be named] is (allegedly) a sex offender”
They all fecking sing it, and it’s fecking shit.
I assume from their username that they are 33 years oldI dare say when you get a bit older you'll realise early 20s is still being a kid
Seemed a bit too generic.I assume from their username that they are 33 years old
I used to know an Andy Smith so could be real, but the one I knew is 57 so...Seemed a bit too generic.
Andy Smith?
