I Miss Football

I'm not a golfer or golf fan at all, but watch the Masters and Ryder Cup. I think I watch the Masters for the scenery, and the Ryder Cup just to watch USA lose at something they love.

 

I'd be very surprised if any player moved for that sort of money anytime soon.

 

There is nothing I miss about football. It has become so far removed from what it once was it’s not enjoyable anymore. It’s refreshing to have a break from the constant dribble about VAR (which is a joke in itself) and overcooked analysis about the smallest details of the game running almost 24/7 throughout the week until the next round of fixtures.

 

I think the lack of sport has fixed my gambling habit!

 

Is Sky Sports News even still running? What on earth are they talking about?

 

As they usually spend all day, every day, talking b*ll*cks it can't be that! I heard that Jeff Stelling had been furloughed

 

While on autopilot the other day I flicked over to it while channel hopping. It just seems to be interviews with no one of any relevance and the ticker is just repeating the government safety advice on a loop. I paused my Sky Sports subscription last weekend - no point paying for it while nothing is going on.

 

Ben Foster was on football focus earlier ding a spin with Ben class with Dan Walker and a few others.

Seemed a bit cringy but entertaining at the same time.

Who's Carol Baskin?!

 

R U Baskin for a friend ?

 

You can watch the Belarus Premier League live on YT:

See Tiger King on Netflix...

 

No thanks.

 

some nutter that may or may not have killed her husband and now owns a tiger sanctuary

 

She definitely did.

 

On a weekend like this I'm really missing the start of the cricket season.

 

i was kind of taken by the documentary , but never seen anything where absolutely everybody involved were such horrible people. I don’t think I felt any compassion towards any of them

 

Only one I felt sorry for was the young lad he married who killed himself. He clearly had issues than ran very deep!

 

Yep clearly had a few issues and what a what to go, proving to somebody that your gun won’t fire by shooting yourself in the head.

There is a Louie Theroux documentary from a few years ago that features some of them and gives another insight into how insane they all are

 

Miss it much more than footy

 

How did an 'I miss football' thread turn in to a spoiler-fest for a tiger documentary?!

 

I miss it due to the escapism aspect, with a lot of negative news over the last two months on this subject alone, it provides an alternative to focus on.

I don’t miss the all football playing forever schedule though, unlikely, but hopefully this can help the game take stock and wind it’s neck in a bit.

 

Its that bitch Carol Baskin's fault.

 

Is this partly to do with the fact you could go off for your regular ablutions and come back to find nothing has happened?

 

That is part of the joy of it yes; however, due to the wonders of modern technology I can in fact not miss a frame by watching on my iphone whilst perched on the throne.

 

If we want him, we'll get him.
