    Football. Watch the local team but rarely bother on TV now. even the team I have followed all my life are becomming secondary.

    still like other sports, but football is going down


    Same. Had half an eye on the football tonight. Couldn't even tell you who was favourite. Working late every weekend and every tuesday and wednesday evening certainly helped me too. Still go down to Dalyer every friday though and would go to any Ireland match I can. Completely different atmosphere being there. Sucks you in and you keep going back.

    Ebay.
    I was mad into it for about 10 years buying and selling.
    But now I just Amazon/Chainreactioncycles/Micksgarage etc.
    The prices are often cheaper new than secondhand on Ebay.

    Heineken Cup.

    Certainly among the band-wagon supporter since the French teams became richer, the Irish teams trailed off, and they re-branded it to the Champions Cup.

    It's amazing how interest has dropped really.

    Muuuuunster Muuuuunster Muuuuunster.

    Attendance numbers way down these days, as are those cringeworthy car stickers saying 'Irish by birth, Munster by the grace of God'

    Serial.

    Season 2 just wasn't very good. Well the first 2 episodes at least, that's as far as I got.

    Used to watch every Formula 1 race and even stay up late/wake up early until last year. I have watched 1 race since. They completely wrecked it by filtering the engine noise and increasing the concrete run off areas.

    I cannot even be bothered checking the results now.

    Going out to bars and clubs.

    Between getting everyone out, picking a spot, getting in early enough, splitting the taxi, going into Temple Bar/Stephen's Green, then navigating your way through the numerous bouncers and baldies with small man syndrome and then reading the exorbitant prices on the chalkboard .... it's really lost it's novelty.

    Yeah music festivals are better as you have three days to go mad or maybe two days and a more soberer Sunday.

    Boxing... Absolute farce of a sport now. Months of build up and more often than not we get 12 rounds of guys dancing around each other.

    Podge & Rodge. Your typical blocky while earning 2k a week during the celtic tiger would clock off work at 5 and head to the local for 10 pints of Carlsberg and watch the puppets on the 21" TV up on the shelf in the corner. Gave him something in common with the local tart to talk about before mounting her in the back of the van. He'd head home then to the missus and kids.

    Pulled pork - Was new and exciting a few years ago. Just bbq slop now which can be bought everywhere

    Not plates - When eating out, not getting your food on a plate. It was funky to get it on some kind of "dish". I'm not sure was there ever an appeal for it but I have lost the appeal to get my food on a slate, wooden block, little basket etc

    Nightclubs - or expensive standing as I call it. Probably a sign of getting old.

    Facebook - Ugh. People have kind of grown out of updating statuses and uploading photos. All I really get is news updates etc and they are mostly "Look how this woman looks after losing 25 stone". All click bait. I know I could just not follow them, or leave facebook but sometimes there is interesting stuff.

    Music charts - I don't think having a number one single/album means what it used to

    Mass/Catholicism - No thanks

    Weddings - It used to be great getting an invite. Now it's like a summons for money

    Formula One - I have to agree with what has been said in this thread, it used to be brilliant. Too many rules and changes have ruined it. I watched the first qualifying of this season with the 7 min rule thing - I couldn't understand what was happening, nor could the drivers from what I saw. Shambles.

    Athletics and cycling - Can you believe anyone is clean anymore?

    Kodaline.

    Marvel Films - Used to be very excited about all the releases, not so much anymore. Although I am a little for Civil War.

    Hipsters

    Craft beer - Over it.

    I think I'm turning into one of those people who hate everything.

    The FA Cup

    Used to be the most important match of the year and the streets would be deserted on FA Cup Saturday (well not deserted but noticeably quieter).

    Nobody gives a shit about it now.

    Football. I can't square the circle that while it was always packed with vastly over paid, pampered narcissists, I somehow used to love it years ago. Now I can't be bothered to watch the closing stages of the Champions Lge even. Will still watch the Euros though. The international game still has some of the old magic.
