Nowadays there are enough channels on Sky to watch if football is not your bag.
Stop moaning and enjoy and support the country of your choice....
Come on England.

Come on England.
It's a shit sport played by overpaid tossers.... I for one will be happy as soon as it's over. The collective ululation if England fail again, or, possibly worse still, the nauseating self congratulation of millions of instant soccer fans who only consume it via Sky and the back page of the Sun if England win will increase sales of sick bags in this household.
See your following me around again. 
It is very funny how you always seem to pick my posts to reply too.
Funny I do not feel honoured, more stalked.
You do not like football....millions do.
You do not like Sky or the Sun, so obviously a hater of Murdoch.
As has been said already...there are plenty of other channels to watch instead of football, well there are if you have Sky.
Sky have the footie rights because you see that is how big business is run now. The one that pays the money gets the glory.
Still no doubt as an avid watcher of BBC2 I guess, you will be safe in the knowledge that only snooker is put on there and that has finished.
Still next Sat when Englands first game will be played, I am sure you will be locked away from all the excitement....

Awayman, you really are a miserable old c**t, yet again you quote Kent despite other's also defending the sport...okay so you don't like football, but do you have to be so fucking vicious to others who do...we are obviously not upto your level of intellect but you really are a bore,why don't you take a chill pill and stop following people around constantly ripping into them just because they don't follow your way of thinking.

What are you on about?
The hint of paranoia is very amusing. Of course I have Sky - some of my mates even work for them! I don't think any of my mates work for the SUn, but that's because we were outside Wapping while the scabs were inside. I hate what Murdoch is, not who he is - I don't know the man. I wasn't having a go at Sky, I was having a go at the sofa sitting instant fans who know the square root of nothing about sport and follow soccer as a kind of soap opera for the hard of thinking.
An avid watcher of BBC2? You do love these caricatures don't you? The only thing I regularly watch on BBC2 England is Later. Next Saturday? I'll be washing my hair I expect....
BTW, as such an avid fan, how many live England matches have you been to recently? Go on Kenty, fess up, who do you have a season ticket for?

That one snippet sums up exactly the type of man you are. I have not hear the word " scab " now for a few years. I reckon you are so angry because Murdoch kicked all your arses, and no doubt even with the help of your massive union at the time, it counted for jack shit...ya still lost ya jobs. But I hope the " scabs " as you so lovingly put it....kept theirs.
In answer to your question which really bears no resemblance to anything, I was a season ticket holder at Chelsea for 13 years, and over the years have been to at a guess 30 odd England games and that does not include the seven I have been to watching them abroad.....happy now?
You do not like football...so what? But is there really I mean really any reason for you to vent your bile at hard working people by calling them " hard of thinking " ? What's all that about?
Still I am getting used to your rudeness to be honest....water off a ducks back matey.
Come on ENGLAND!!!

My rudeness? I don't know if all the hard of thinking are hard working - it's a way of describing the infantilized way soccer in England is reduced to people who won't get off their sofas to actually watch a real game getting so worked up every two or four years by saturation media coverage that is banal at best and excruciating at worst.
Anger? You want to see it that way, that's fine. I have a long memory that's all Kenty, and where I come from it's once a scab, always a scab. Being a trades unionist isn't about what you do when we're winning, it's about what you do when the tide turns.
Lots of yesterday's and used to's in your fan CV Kenty - no decent soccer sides round your way for you to follow?

Where you come from? What the fuck has that got to do with anything? What a medieval attitude to still have in 2010..."once a scab always a scab" really does sum up the man.
Lots of yesterday's and used to's in your fan CV Kenty - no decent soccer sides round your way for you to follow?
Used too and yesterdays because unlike your goodself I run a business that requires me to work long hours and weekends. My job also runs on a day to day basis so no point organising anything too far ahead.But then I did go to the Mexico game recently...does that count for you?
I have done my dues to my football team and your nitpicking about when I did or did not go, is a pretty piss poor arguement matey.
You asked me when I had watched England and I told you but then used another sorry arguement.
Ya don't like footie fine, so don't watch any of it...it seems that there are many here who have Daveys green eyed monster outlook on things.
Now I am not bickering for the sake of it with you, it is too hot and I have to go and cut my 170 foot long garden on my new sit down lawn mower. Hopefully will get a nice tan too in the process.

Yes, but what about the football
Seeing Mal's post, I suppose I ought to refrain from commenting on the awayman/powers/Kenty scrap.
I USED to like football. Then I went to secondary school and was introduced to cricket and rugby and could never take football seriously again.
In response to the title of this thread - I was fed up with the world cup weeks ago and can't wait for it to be over.
Thank you to those posters who mentioned the fact that England won a World Cup last week - though sadly it was scarcely reported.
Look, I DO realise that many millions of people enjoy football and I have no wish to spoil their enjoyment. I shall simply make myself scarce for a month - though, if they won, I suspect that my patriotism would take over (well, it is 44 years since we last won it).
I wish England luck but I WON'T be watching.
Will
PS Heard the England World Cup song for the first time tonight. It includes the repetitive chant "Come and have a go if you think you're hard enough!" That can only be interpreted as an incitement to violence. Now that I do have a problem with. Why does football have to venerate violence? I really don't think it does the sport any favours.

PS Heard the England World Cup song for the first time tonight. It includes the repetitive chant "Come and have a go if you think you're hard enough!" That can only be interpreted as an incitement to violence. Now that I do have a problem with. Why does football have to venerate violence?
I really don't think it does the sport any favours.bugger all the good stuff happened while i was on me hols
But will as always makes some good points,my first love is cricket,the day i was due to be born my folks were at Bamburgh cos my dad was captain of the first team,and so could not miss the game.The family is pretty obsessed!
The bandwagon jumping over the Ashes has therefore rankled,especially when the media tries to make celebrities out of people like fat freddie.
So i can understand why the wall to wall world cup coverage annoys people,i also think it would do people well to remember this is the British Isles,not every inhabitant is English or an England fan.
With a sportsmad husband and son i shall be watching,i will be happy if England win,in football they are my national team,but i could well do without the marketing of the whole event as some momentous historical occasion.
Reguarding whether people personally attend games,i dont, i dislike the atmosphere,as Will said there seems to be an undercurrant of violence ,the Gateshead thunder games we attend are so very different.
And of course the best way to watch sport is outside the club house,on a summers evening with a glass of wine and the gentle handclap that tells you a game of cricket is in progress.
