    If you have zero interest why make such a big deal about it ffs, I aint the biggest fan of cricket but I am not making a zero interest in cricket thread.

    Is this just a cry for attention or sonmething? Seriously if you do not like football there should be a couple of hundred of channels on sky where there is no football so why complain.

    There's a thread about hot girls in the crowd. It's not about football. It's about hot girls... in the crowd. Go look. I'll wait.

    Did we win?
    I know we didn't do anything to win anything, but it would be nice to win something.

    I haven't won anything in a few years (apart from the lotto), but I like being part of a winning team.

    My son has zero interest in soccer, "It's called football" he's always shouting!
    FOOTBALL NOT Fúcking soccer


    He's very serious about it as well....

    Hopefully, he'll grow out of it.......

    Well the cricket doesn't take over all the national media when it's on. And ffs it's only starting a bleedin' AH thread. I didn't start a petition or anything. Just a bit of crack like.

    I'm a sports fan, I participate and encourage others to do so. The first section I open in a newspaper is the sports section. I love the psychology of sport and the motivation of the athletes but....... I just cannot comprehend soccer at the 'elite' level or understand the huge following it has.
    I say 'elite' because it's different if it's kids playing or pub or work teams.
    I really tried to get behind my country and watch the match last Sun but could only endure 20 mins. It is so dull and boring, very little happens.
    Anyway, not for me, my last attempt to follow the team, but each to his own.

    I honestly never understood how someone can not like football. I have a brother who hates it. Never played,watched or has ever been to a game. I always found it quite weird!

    I remember it had euro 2012 in the title if that's any help!

    Could people please stop calling it "Football"

    The term football implies that it is some sort of sport (as opposed to a money racket! and not at all Sasanach!

    It does a great disservice to those who actually do play football as amateurs in a sporting capacity, not like the money grabbing pansie soccer mob!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,635 CMod ✭✭✭✭Ravelleman


    Ironic given that GAA, the amateur game, is much closer to the classically British, 19th century conception of sport than football is today.

    The GAA is undeniably a Britist-style organisation, albeit in Ireland.

    I heard about the ludicrous display last night against spain while watching sky news this morning.

    Laughed my ass off when i heard we were the first team to be kicked out the tournament that must not be named.

    Maybe now we wont have to suffer that 'You'll never beat the Irish' song on the radio


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 330 ✭✭mongdesade


    Football / Soccer sucks balls :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 24,272 ✭✭✭✭ejmaztec


    There's only one thing worse than wall-to-wall soccer, and that's the 6 month wall-to-wall inquest that takes place when the Irish team gets sent home in disgrace after losing again.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,128 ✭✭✭✭aaronjumper


    Watched Ireland V Spain. First match I've watched in years.
    Back to being uninterested.

    So is this an off topic thread in an off topic forum? Inception.


  • Posts: 81,310 CMod ✭✭✭✭ Nehemiah Large Tunnel


    I just don't trust guys who arent into sport..

    good christ you must be joking

    That post made me lol, especially the lowering estimation bit. Oh boy.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 20,919 ✭✭✭✭Gummy Panda


    to me having an interest in sport is part of the male pysche..

    Just cause you don't like football doesn't mean you aren't into sport. I hate football and find it mind numbing to watch. Since I started reading the strength forum I've developed an interest in weightlifting

    Seeing what this guy can do at the Olympics would be interesting:



  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,066 ✭✭✭elekid


    I can understand men not watching sport but to have zero interest in watching your country play I don't understand that at all.. whatever about the sport its a nationalistic feeling to want your country to do well.. these men I view with deep suspicion..

    Suspicion of what? You might as well have said:

    "he wasn't interested in watching paint dry at all, thats fair enough but when he said he had no interest in watching green, white and gold paint dry either he went way down in my estimation.."

    not that I don't trust them , I used the wrong words I meant I wouldn't feel comfortable going out with a guy who wasn't into sport .. and any sport not just football, I have friends who have no interest in sport doesn't affect my friendship with them
    as I said thats just me.. and I'm on my own on this.. the vast majority of women would prefer if men weren't into sport at all

    you said deep suspicion, gone way down in your estimate, wouldn't tell your friend (as if it's some big secret)
