Do you like Football?

I can't stand it, I find it so immensely dull and far too commercialised. Getting all that money just to play their hobby

They should get a proper job and play football on their days off

Its also the 'chavviest' sport going. Honestly, ask any chav what their favourite sport is and they'll ALWAYS say football. Its like they don't know of any other sport.

Rugby on the other hand is tops!

I like football... but enjoy rugby league just abit more

They don't earn ridiculous amounts of money like football players... apart from Stuart Fielden of course

I agree!

My ex encourages my boy to do the football thing... support the local team... watch it on the telly *yawn*

My hubby counteracts this by enrolling my boy into the town Rugby club....

is like a battle between the dark side & the force!

Can't abide it..... a lot of overpaid men , running around a field, trying to kick a ball into a net....

But don't tell my son I said that

Hate it. Causes more aggro, and encourages more trouble than religion!

Well if eye-gouging, fake blood capsules and failing drug tests is your idea of entertainment then by all means enjoy your rugby. I prefer a game of skill.

Doesnt happen in rugby league...and football players do fail drug tests.

Any real football fan will tell you that "liking" football isn't a choice. Do you think I would be a Bolton fan if I hadn't been born a Bolton fan?

I agree about rugby league but we've got the middle class version of the game down here, but footballers in the Premier League very rarely fail drug tests. There could be several reasons for that....

NO, after getting rid of the ex i thought my TV would be football free

then our daughter turns out to be footy mad

i do like snooker though ~~nothing to do with ronnie o'sullivan~~

Not as much as I used to. It's all about business and money now. Only a few teams can win anything, you need a billionaire owner to have any chance. That's not real sport to me, it should be about competition as that brings entertainment.

What about football fans, who break into fights in pubs, streets etc. All because their 'precious' team lost.

Its pathetic, You rarely hear of it in Rugby.

I love it!!

I enjoy watching on the telly, but my biggest love is supporting my own team and not one of the big premiership teams.
Going to a match and watching your team score a goal is just such a great buzz.

I used to like that. But another thing with football is it's so hard to come from behind, once the first goal is scored that is virtually the game over. Two goal lead and you might as well leave the ground, match over. It's a bit too defensive in that way.

Also referees have too big an impact on the game with sending offs (I prefer to see teams of equal strength playing each other and the individual being heavily punished) and penalties (often dubious).

Yes! I love football.
I went to a football playing school, where we actively resisted the new games master's attempts to introduce Rugby.
The reason why Football is awash with money is down to the market economy and the fact that people are prepared to pay £50 a month to watch it on the tellybox, as well as pay four times the going rate to attend.

The O/P sounds like it is referring to Premiership ,Champions League & International football, A visit to lower league clubs would show a different side of the coin.

Fully agree!!

As I said before - the atmosphere when it's YOUR team doing well is fantastic.
Doesn't happen often though.

Love footie

, whether watching it on TV, having a kick about, going to a match or playing the games on the Playstation. Yes it's true the players are overpaid but the clubs are to blame

Nope .... it holds absolutely no interest at all for me

I love my footie and couldn't give a monkey's about rugby, apart from the Six Nations.

Rugby league's the worst - their fans can't seem to let anyone else enjoy their own favourite sport, whether that's union or footie, without banging on about how much better RL is.

Far as I'm concerned, it's a minority interest confined to a few towns in Yorkshire. And it can stay there.

Not sure where the Celtic Crusaders are based. Anyone any idea?

Practically no-one watches them though. Apart from the away fans

I doubt they'll last much longer.
