"I came to hate rugby at school Im 5'4" and was hooker. which meant hanging like a scarecrow disentangling and running to the next scrum. Mind you...rugby players...wouldn't mind a loose rucking now." See now I loved playing rugby and was in the scrum until the coach decided I could run fast and I ended up being a winger  | |||

What about alcohol, TV subscriptions, drugs, fast food or literally anything else that could be considered a waste of money lol. What answer are you looking for? I do it because it's an easy way to spend time with friends, it's easy to discuss, you can travel to different parts of the country with a bunch of like-minded people and when you win it's an excellent feeling. | |||

The most extreme example I witnessed of this was that crash at an airshow this summer - big fireball on the motorway, 12 people killed?

Oh and I also struggle with the naive optimism of football fans"Very odd thing to say. As someone who has posted on football-based message boards and been "involved" in football since I was about 12, football fans are varied, as are people. You get negative glass half empty fans and positive glass half full fans and pragmatic fans and everything inbetween. Why would it be any different just because they choose to follow a sport? | |||

"I mean, what rational reason is there for it...or do people just do it without thinking?!

I have no interest in it whatsoever but am happy to accept that lots of people do.I think however it is only about 60% of men. It is very commercialised and it is surprising how much star footballers are paid .. Everyone can decide their own hobbies and interests . The sports sections of the newspapers which.

Of a bunch of preened neanderthals almost entirely incapable of appreciating the finer things in life beyond buying a house, buying yr parents a house, buying another house, buying a car, buying another car, buying a girlfriend... That is NOT living to my mind. " You think everyone is thick, everyone is "preended" (how dare they look after themselves - disgusting). You think they're unable to appreciate the finer things in life - these people who have children, partners etc. Embarrassingly shallow outlook, generalising everyone to be the same. Give your head a wobble. | |||

"Overpaid drama queens the lot, dya see them when they get slightly nudged? Go down so fast and claim injuries that even the worst personally injuries solicitor would question. Quite embarrassing to say the least, get rid of the money and bring the sport back to the people I say."Back to the people? It's people that follow football,making it so popular | |||

" I can understand and appreciate people actively playing but the sheer scale of peoples obsession with watching and following the sport seems totally out of proportion...it seems on the scale of a religion or a belief system almost... Yeh it is almost on a religious scale. I think if someone admits they are a big football fanatic then they are basically saying they are stupid and really boring to talk to. How can you have a good, interesting and engaging conversation with someone who spends most of their free time watching a ball being kicked?" What the fuck hahaha Seriously, what the hell is wrong with some of you people? You criticise people for watching a sport and in the same breath generalise very offensively. First of all, just cos you are a football fan does not mean you spend "most of your free time" watching football. I spend 90 minutes watching football once every week because I don't watch any on TV unless England are playing. Secondly, why do you think someone who watches football is unable to get involved in other topics and interests? This isn't the 80's, football fans are very diverse, in a crowd there'll be doctors, nurses, firefighters, religious people and every other job you can think of. What a stupid closed-minded view you have. I can talk about politics, animal cruelty, why the earth is being destroyed by corporate greed, I can talk about religion, relationships, swinging, anime, every subject you can think of I can probably hold some sort of discussion on - yet you'd dismiss me straight away because I like following my local football team? I feel very lucky not to be you. | |||

Some people enjoy the passion and intrigue that is associated in football. I don't lambast people for enjoying classical music or for reading a book so why do so because a person enjoys sport? This world in general and fab by reflection would be much nicer if we all lived and let live. There is an old quote with relevance to football "never in the sphere of human reference does any thing mean so little but matter so much." | |||

"Player power has ruined football for me, these days. You wouldn't have had someone like Brian Clough or Alex Ferguson putting up with the shenanigans that the modern day footballer gets up to. The first sign of a player pulling rank back in the day and he would have been on his way. The game has suffered as a result. " Blame Jimmy Hill for that | |||

Well Said.....! I used to be a Licensee and ran a pub at one time in my career. One promotional idea I put in, was to have a no Football pub! My area manager said it would never work, but the financial results proved otherwise; I'd more business from people who said it made a change to find a place without Footie blaring out from the TV. I then moved on to another area and the next Licensee, put Football on from Noon to night - his takings crashed within a month! I've been in pubs where after England lost their game, I saw grown men cry! Oh, FFS, get a life! Plus, when asked what team I support, I still get the eejits who, on hearing I don't follow the game and don't know one fact from another about it, come out with the immortal line, "you must be a poof if you don't like football!" Decent fans accept that not everyone is utterly enthralled in the game, but there are the minority elements of society who just cannot see how wrapped up in Football they have become, to the point they cannot see sense. Maybe the commercialism has taken over that the actual game has lost its more distant appeal. I've said it before elsewhere, but maybe if players weren't paid so much, it might be more appealing to far more people. What if the players had to earn their money - EG, instead of having such high ranking salaries and advertising fees to cushion their lives, give them a basic salary and the rest goes into a holding account till the end of the season. That means they have to earn it, no bookings, good conduct, and score goals. Succeed and you earn it; fail and it all goes to Charity. That would sort out the workers, the true players who'd play to earn their money. | |||

"And yes I'm very aware of the Sky generation etc it was more to do with people not wanting to go due to the violence aspect etc. back then. I don't subscribe to Sky and my team play (badly) in League 1 so we're on once a season if we're lucky. " Yeh unfortunately there was a rough edge to a lot of big games. I've seen some crazy things, not least the first time I went to OT (not that they're my team)- and the turnstiles were the the strangest turnstiles I've ever seen. Metal bars sticking out toward you, at various heights. Quite threatening in a quiet way, though probably deigned to stop guys storming through! Also seen opposition fans throw bricks at buses just after a game. Not in Manchester, somewhere else. But few things in life as enjoyable as playing footy, watching it has changed though. Good luck for your team though, got to admire those who support their team when the whole media thing is focused on top euro teams and not much about anyone else. Hopefully you can watch them for a decent price as well ! | |||

Why do people get so excited at a royal wedding or birth?. It's not going to be the last royal birth or wedding, is it?"I have no idea. Maybe they have no lives of their own so follow someone else's so they don't realise how pointless their own is? Isn't that why football was always popular to the working classes in industrial centers? So they didn't have to think about the fact that all they were going to with their lives was work then die? | |||

"Not read all the thread but why does it have to be rational for someone to want to do something? Footy is fun, live games are exciting "They are if you like it... I never did, so thought I'd best go to a big match to see what folk saw in the big live games, and it was just the same as the telly, it was quite a good match by all accounts yet for me it was just boring as hell....grown-up men running after a ball with a look on their faces that suggested it was actualy a really serious thing they were doing! I just don't get football...but then, millions do so there we go. It's easy for me to avoid so I do, no issue | |||

I don't have to dress up with my favorite book title on my scarf, i don't have to beat the crap out of people who don't support my kids at school sports day. And if i go for a walk in the country and don't see a beautiful vista i don't let it ruin my weekend. I used to know a guy who lived and breathed Tottenham, he would get so angry if they lost he destroyed not one, but 2 televisions! It was an absolute pleasure fucking his wife Saturday afternoons....
