I'll be honest, I've struggled to really get into it since covid happened. Empty stadiums don't help, but there's a lot more going on before covid that I didn't really appreciate.

They would last just fine but they wouldn't perform the theatrics because there would be no point since the referee would just tell them to get up and stop being a Richard.Love to see how long they'd last in a game of Rugby Union.
Good word. I had to look that one up.Another gripe of mine is connected to the wind blowing them over and then they roll about screaming .If there is no contact all over the rest of the pitch then why are they allowed to crawl all over each other in the penalty area ?(
Yes I know it is a hypophora )
It is because the big six started it .
Don't tell anyone but so did I .So don't ask me to pronounce it !Good word. I had to look that one up.
I don't like how this post came outTo be honest, I'm disillusioned with all the old farts who come from an era of racism and hooliganism moaning about all their problems with the modern game
I agree. That's a much better post than the first oneI don't like how this post came out
What I meant to say was I don't like the way people pine for the old days when they had their own set of significant problems. We're talking about disillusionment with the game. The effect hooliganism had on the game was enormous. People were literally dying. Attendences suffered. Teams robbed of the chance to compete with the best... Cough
There's also some positive aspect to the modern game, as much as people might dislike it. Whatever your background or gender you can go the game and feel safe now. Wasn't always the case. My old fella had some nervous experiences on the safety point with the whole culture that was about then
And it's not just the problems with fans. There were whole laws introduced due to problems with the game. The back pass rule for example. (That teams like Liverpool abused no?) You were also allowed to assault players on the pitch. I don't like the play acting but I also think it's good we've moved beyond that era of 'hard men' who were allowed to kick the talented players. There were also plenty of dodgy chairman, footballers more concerned using their doe to get sloshed than they were playing, outright corruption. A lot of problems
