I pop up Sligo Rovers now and again, it’s like non league really.....the standard is pretty poor and refereeing is the worst you have ever seen which can really spoil stuff but it’s still not a bad little evening out just going your football....you know how it is. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I completely get that my weekend doesnt feel complete if i havent been to a game of some description,if i havent been to the Hammers or the local non league mob i have to find a game somewhere ive even pitched up at kids sunday morning games on my own which always feels a bit iffy when you havent got a son playing ....the dog is always a good cover story nowadays though " i was just walking the dog and stopped for a look guv honest " 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
WILF 50,963 Posted October 27, 2020 Report Share Posted October 27, 2020 (edited) Well basically they ref games like they are almost a non contact sport. They will give fouls, free kicks and yellow cards for challenges and tackles they are absolutely bog standard any given Saturday up and down England. It makes for totally bland soulless football. Their idea of the offside rule is ludicrous and they find it hard to keep up with play so are making decisions from like 40yds away......bad decisions. They absolutely ruin games, break them up, stop start, stop start. It’s bad for the game itself because let me tell you, if most teams here even came up against decent standard English Saturday sides they just couldn’t cope......they wouldn’t Know what had hit them. Totally awful to watch mate Edited October 27, 2020 by WILF Quote Link to post Share on other sites

In the summer local to here all the school age kids will be out at least 4 nights a week at training or matches for Gealic or Football and some add in tennis, boxing, basketball or martial arts. That’s the real shame of it, they have super athletes. Edited October 27, 2020 by WILF 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

eastcoast 4,602 Posted October 27, 2020 Report Share Posted October 27, 2020 (edited) I see that Mike Ashley has spoken out about the PPV matches as a piss take of fans wanting to watch their team when not allowed in the ground but already forking out for Sky and/or BT. Fair play. Edited October 27, 2020 by eastcoast 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It's always going to be about money, that's the modern game in England and I think everyone gets that and no one holds a gun to any one's head, but PPV is a step too far I think. Good reaction from those donating to "food banks" instead of paying to watch the games. Particularly Leeds fans according to reports. 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
