What a knee jerk elitist reactionary who has no idea of the value of sport.


More often Steve, we are telling each other that we (you ;-) ) are idiots
however i have to more or less agree with you this time.

many of those quotes were the blokes making fun of themselves just for the humour of it.

Congratulations on posting just about the dumbest post I've ever read.


Football in the UK isolates Scots into Celtic/Rangers as much as religion.
Whatever team you support - they have a convenient opposition each week that you can hate, catcall or fight.
You bring thousands of people together - and allow them to boo or cheer to their hearts content - because it is a merely a game......think what would happen if every week you had a public political rally between opposing party's....? same escalation of verbal and physical abuse....

The UK Government supported the Football leagues during the inter war years, precisely to give those disenchanted by war an outlet for their aggression - in a confined arena away from property. There was a fear that the working class may turn communist, or that there would be little enthusiasm for future national conflicts. Football hooliganism was/is easily contained.....it is not a new thing.

Oh, it is just a game!!!

Then it did not produce the revenues it does now - But it did 'protect' the landowners and mill owners from mobs and angry workers. Now there is too much money to ban it as a public hazzard. - read up on how disease is spread by bringing thousands of 'visitors' together (during the winter months) and the rapid spread of influenza.

Dumb.......How many American sportsmen sustain life changing injuries in your 'National' game ?

I quit watching sports because of that.
We have a stupidity per second here,
and not only by the players and people
on the field. News TV anchors and reporters
are masters on stupidity, not counting the
interviewed common people.

Watch to the movie "Idiocracy".


So very true!!!

Let me see, we're talking about people cheering for their professional soccer teams, right? So, you're saying that professional soccer in England was socially engineered. What about every country in the world that plays football. Sounds like we've got another conspiracy theorist in our midst. Sometimes things are simple, Brown, football teams spring up out of demand.

As far as spreading disease because it brings people together....well, blimey, just stay home and hide under the covers. I'm sure you'll stay well....at least physically. Home school all the kiddos 'cause bringing them together might spread disease!!!!

C'mon now, you know all that exposure to them various diseases builds immunity, just like the mud pies you dabbled with as a 3 year old. Yeah football!
