Why I began to hate soccer.

B-D-P--

Besides all the players falling all over the place, I really began to detest soccer for the following reason.

José Mourinho 2013-2016 - Chelsea Manager
Every Manunited fan: He's scum, he's ****, He's a (Rude work for masterbater)

José Mourinho 2016 signed for Man Utd Manager
Every Manunited fan: God bless Mourinho, He's class, I love how he is in press, He's all about mind games, I would lick his ***.

José Mourinho today:
Every Manunited fan: Thank god he's gone, he's useless, hes scum ect...

This loop continues for every player that's out there too.

Please tell me I'm not on my own when I see this?

My interest in it has waned because of the gap between the top and the rest just increasing year on year. When I was a kid we'd look at Rangers and Celtic absolutely miles out in front at the top of the Scottish League and laugh, now most of the top leagues in Europe follow a similar pattern.

Sounds like you're bored with the Premiership as opposed to football?

Don't let a few bone heads put you off the game. I was a handy enough soccer player back in the day but always was very uncomfortable with some aspects of the game, particularly the unbridled aggression from team mates when the game wasn't going their way. I learned that was their problem and was not a part of the game.

As for supporting soccer, I again was always very uncomfortable with the Celtic-Rangers thing as some aspects of their support did little for sectarian healing in the north.

As for extreme United commentary on managers etc, I wouldn't pay too much heed to that. I've learned over the years that the overwhelming majority of soccer fans are totally reasonable and I ignore the extreme comments that are most likely to appear in the gutter press and social media.

As far as soccer is concerned, and I can empathise with your feeling about it, but it is indeed a very beautiful game, and try not let a few bone heads put you off it.

One of the lads that started the premier league was on the radio there a few months ago..he referred to the players as "the heroes for the zeros"..Make of that what you will..

How about the League of Ireland? It definitely offers a different perspective than PL football anyway! :pac:

How about the over analysis of everything by sky sports
Overpayed babies is all footballers are
Game is riddled with cheats
Tackling is gone from the game
Absorbident transfer fees
The likes of pogba,image over substance
Id love to see Roy Keane sort that lad out in training in his prime
The game is f ed like many things in the world now days

Agreed with Farfromhome02,

Back in the 90's when tackles were tough, Men would get up dust themselves off instead of completing the 2016 Olympics acrobats winning routing while screaming.

Its just so fake now, and all about what team can get most money from sponsorship to buy the best players.

What is the percentage of English born players in the top 5 teams in premier league?
