General Football 23/24

[Charly]

I agree with that, even in the time since I was a kid until now, how people interact and what is acceptable has changed.



However it also seems to me that this sort of thing is much less likely to happen at other sporting events.



Football absolutely has a problem where otherwise normal people say and do things that they wouldn't normally say or do when they walk into a stadium.



It's really odd for example to see grown men gesturing to masturbate onto a player but that's something you see quite frequently on TV coverage of premier league games.



Stepping back even further, it's actually a joke players are branded words like a 'disgrace' because they didn't play well. It's just sport, but somehow it has become inflated in its over importance to our society.



Most people would never call their colleague a disgrace to their face in an office if they messed up a presentation or things didn't go to plan. You might give them feedback in other words but even the language we use for sport is strangely melodramatic. Over time, I think it's become even more dramatic.



There should be room for chanting that is good natured humour and witty though.

I think as men we do need an outlet of some kind. I am very mild mannered the rest of the time, and even during a game I am quite calm, but it can feel good to shout out the occasional "**** off" at opposition player and referees.

I think some people take this way too far though. I guess everyone is going to have a different idea if where a line should be drawn. Sone things make me cringe, but I am sure some peopke might hear me swear and think the same thing.

You risk killing all of the passion. I have been to various other sporting events live and wished id stayed at home because it just wasnt atmospheric or passionate in the sae way. Not really sure if there is a right answer

I thought that had been on the cards for a while TBH.

There had been talk of one of them wanted to build their own stadium(milan i think) but this time looks certain and share again.

Either way, it's a shame as it may be on its' downers but there is no way they are going to build something quite so cool in its' place.

Aggressively in the stands?

[Deano]

Not getting into the selections from Southgate, its obv his choice and he has his faves, the argument thou on England form is also skewed, For Foden is a generational talent but for England he's been crap, Reece James, again, good for Chelsea but for England, again I'm not sure. From the outside looking, it does seems to be a clicky sort of set up.....

[Deano]

A bit pointless calling up Henderson also, Doesn't look like he's going to get a sniff

[Deano]

Maguire lol - Part 2

[spud_gun]

Maguire lol - Part 2

Did he forget which end of the field he should have been in?

[Deano]

Barring Bellingham, there is **** all movement

[Deano]

Luke Shaw now on the plane
