I had a disussion earlier with my Dad about football. Everyone in the house except me likes football, I dont see the point if you get what I mean.

It is a bag of air and people being sold for as much money as they can get for them.

Anyone else?

I hate football! Although I don't mind watching some matches

My entire household and myself can join you in hating football Soph!

Yipee i arent alone

I hate football too! Everyone is sooo obsessed with it, I don't see why!

I'm sorry to do this but the above it so annoying! It should say "I am not" instead of "I arent" which if you put the apostrophe in would mean unabreviated "I are not" which when you put into context makes no sense "Yipee I are not alone"

I wouldn't say I hate it - I nothing it lol.

If it's an important match and England are playing, you might just about convince me to watch. But for it's own sake, rather than national pride... I find it deadly boring

I HATE football. Well I don't hate it, because I find it so boring that at the moment it's the only thing that can get me to sleep!

BEN!!

I don't enjoy it, generally. My Dad will quite happily sit and watch a game of football totally disconnected to the team he supports (for example the other day, he was watching Tamworth v. Norwich). I've tried to like it, but...nah.

Same here, I tried to like it when I was yoounger, but it wasnt meant to happen.

We were FORCED to watch a football match a few years ago... I found it deadly boring and annoying as I was sitting cross legged on a floor when I would have much rather been outside running around as I was until I was dragged in to watch football. It wasn't like I was damaging anything, or stopping anyone else watching it.

I find football terribly boring to watch, and equally unpleasant to play. The purpose of chasing a leather sack of air around a field completely eludes me....

To get covered in mud?

Ah now, playing football I like. I think it can be a bit of a chuckle Out there in the cold, in shorts, in the rain...bloomin' brilliant!

I enjoyed the day the girls beat the boys at primary school! But as for watching it - no!

Perhaps.... Worst muddyness I managed was being winded by a football, passing out and falling face-first onto a muddy field .

I hate football too & sneekydad was carefully chosen to have this matching quality.

I've always felt that I don't appreciate football to the greatest possible extent...

I hope that barry-clari, Car Expert, andante_in_c, mrbouffant or any of the other forum football fans aren't reading this thread!

Association football? Yawn, yawn, yawn.
Rugby football?

Oh yes I am!

As long as I have a nice thread I can talk about football in, I'm quite happy for a thread for the football haters to exist.

no Soph , you are definitely not alone.

I don't see what's so bad about football.

OK, so I don't follow it on TV as eagerly as some and often the matches are a little boring but how can you not like football?

I love playing it, especially when it gets all competitive...and muddy.

I think i'll hate football till the day Aberdeen FC start wining things!

I'm quite happy to have a thread for people who aren't struck on football.

*thinks about Charlton this season*

Hey, this just might be the thread for me!!!!

I quite enjoy having a kick around with my mates sometimes, but going outside onto a cold windswept field patch of mud in the middle of winter in shorts with people from my school really holds no joy for me.
As for watching it, that's possibly even worse.

Not a football fan, sorry!

Too late

Redditch beat Dagenham & Redbridge!







*hides*

Car Expert

i hate it. It is SO overrated. I mean, all it is is kicking a ball about and sometimes kicking it into a net.

If you say so!! *thinks of time she has played netball in the rain and cold*

I think footballers are overpaid though!

completely pointless sport!!!

gang of posers kicking around a lump of leather!!??!!

Whats the big deal!!??!!

luv emyxox

It's not really football I hate, though I can't stand whatching it, it's the culture that comes with it in this country. The violence, drinking, and general crass behavour of - not all - but some...ok, a lot of the supporters. Another thing I can't stand, is the publics adoration of overpaid footballer's such as David Beckhem - and the WAGS, I hate the WAGS!! Oh, don't get me started on football...

I dont see the point of injuries from kicking a bag of air round a field. Also the players being sold -- they are people being sold for ridiculous amounts of money... anyone?

Yes, they are compleatly over-paid - David Beckham aparently earns one million pounds a day - it's just sickening, isn't it?

It is, but also when the players get sold... they are human beings being passed around for a ridiculous amount!!

we could start the football haters club

Can we start a Football Lovers Club as well then?

Car Expert

count me in

HA! I've got more members than you so far!

I'm in

I do believe I am the 3rd person to join this club.

beating car expert by a long way, though maybe I'm being a little too competitive about this...

I suspect the reason is terrible advertising on CE's part - this is hardly the best recruiting ground for football lovers, in a thread that by definition is populated by football haters.

Good idea, I'm in too!

Don't worry mate, I'll join. Together we can defeat all these anti-football fascists.

Signs up to the haters' club.

*stands next in line*

*Joins football haters' club*

So we're in the football haters' club, and Car Expert is in the football lover's club?
