" Things i hate about Modern football "

Supporters coaches...

In the 80's you could go to Portsmouth on a family ticket (would only have been 15) on a nice "modern" intercity 125 but come home on a (no stops) special with carriages that looked like they came from the hogwarts express.

Putting the family stand next to the away end to use small children as a human shield!

Players kneeling down and holding there hands in the air and praying or whatever there doing ,it's s football game/ground not a church or mosque ffs

Kissing rings and praying while comming on as a sub is another

Extra-Time being sponsored by a double-fucking-glazing company.

Substitutions being sponsored too.

Where will it end? "David Marshall's half-time shit is brought to you by Lidl - Always Making Great Saves!". The bastards.

Being told by the stewards to stop wanking in your seat. Or is that just me?

The disastrous affect that CCTV and over-zealous stewarding has had on public streaking.

Over paid players for me. Players dont tend to put their hearts in it anymore as they dont have to earn their crust. You get players who have never played a first team game driving around in Bentleys. So its the disconnection between club and fan I guess.

Fans who moan about modern football and still go

Pretty much everything. Football started dying the day the working classes were priced out and middle/upper class toffs who haven't a clue about the sport starting turning up with the prawn sandwiches and whinging about everything. They sit behind you and moan about how their lovely Beatrice, of whom they've been married to for 42 years of hell, cant see the actual game, because you're being passionate and we can't have that. These are the same idiots who vote Tory because they loathe everyone else, visit France every year and insist on their children speaking French otherwise they won't be cultured enough to go to Oxbridge once they finish their studies at Eton. The clubs, the police, the government and companies like Sky have helped to rip the life and soul out of the game in the UK. Owners like Tan have only helped speed up the process but the game was dying long before the likes of him anyway.

PS. Merry Christmas!

I hate so called supporters who inhabit message boards claiming to be so knowledgable about the game and passionate about the team they support, yet they spout every conceivable reason, known to man, to justify their failure to buy a ticket and actually attend games.

Fans who can't let things go and get over the fact that other adults see things as being more important than football, and thus do not want to spend £100+ to watch a game of football. This type of fan reeks of insecurity and quite clearly suffers from a superiority complex whereby they think they are better than everyone else because they attended a live game.

Watch Ice Hockey now, don't go down The City anymore, cheaper, better atmosphere, excellent match night entertainment, passionate fans, players that give it their all and stick up for their fellow players, drink a pint at your seat, mix with the players after the game in the bar, good banter with away fans, fast exciting game with no pretend injuries, no shit stewarding, new state of the art rink almost ready, management that respect and interact with fans and say it as it is (no bullshit), owners that are constantly trying to improve the match night experience rather than change the teams identity.

I'm guessing from the replys some don't like the modern game that much
