Goodbye football RIP

[curiousorange]

As somebody who didn't get to see a game between 2019 and this week, all it took was the walk up the Trinity Road and seeing the Holte End to reveal itself for me to remember why I bother.

My 9 year olds sons second game, his first was Watford the poor sod.  I have recently split with my wife and he is struggling

with it and is not having a particularly happy time at school at the moment,   so yesterday was a great distraction

He loved it. we didnt win but we scored a goal , he had chips and gravy sang his heart out with mates . moaned about

Burnley time wasting and had a great evening , Thanks Villa and football   

Good to hear, mate. Also, I didn't even know chips and gravy was an option.

It should be, it's underrated. For me, generally, Brummie/West Mids chip fayre is far superior to the rest of the country but we could learn from something from our backward northern cousins in this field.

And keeping on topic, another reason for Burnley to stay up is that I had the most sensationally good curry sauce and chips after the game up there from chinese/chip shop hybrid right be the ground.

We need to find somewhere on the Black Country/Yorkshire border, which obviously doesn't exist, which does orange chips with gravy. That's what dreams are made of.

Slowly but surely pretty much everything about the game has eroded or just become utterly shite since i started to watch in the 80s, ultimately too much money being the biggest issue.

That said, i would suspect the OP will be back and interested again on the opening PL game and with a few new players. You can't turn yourself off from it.

Get involved in amateur or underage football over the summer instead.

I read that as get involved in amateur bondage. I think this would be better than playing golf.

I think there would be quite some overlap between participants in both

I gave up on boxing and Formula One decades ago. Modern football is distasteful (money, VAR, theatrics, Citeh, the FA Cup...) but, fuck me, golf!

[cdbearsfan]

The Ryder Cup is alright, tbf.

[Sexual Ealing]

Nah, all golf can go. When I'm in charge it will be banned, and council houses will be built on every course.

Distasteful and vulgar.

I think Golf is a good way for people with a few years on the clock and a bit of extra dosh to go and get a bit of exercise but other than that it's a big pile of shite IMHO.

Surely cricket is still okay? Will happily ban formula one.

[Sexual Ealing]

Cricket's fine. Formula 1, in fact all the formulae, will be illegal.

Thick Mike will be out of a job, but sure he will agree that it's a worthy sacrifice.

His skills can, I'm sure, be transferred to the soon to be booming industry of the building of council houses.

I'm turning my back on football as it is vulgar and monied and used for sportswashing, instead i'm going to focus on golf, is quite the look.

Can I be your right hand man?  I'd turn the courses into parks or Nature Reserves though, but I get the juxtaposition of sticking council estates on them.

I'm still trying to get my head around giving football up for Golf.
