It’s not the French I feel sorry for. It’s the English football/ soccer fan who knows all about the great game and his personal attachment to his cities team.
They live their life analysing the good and the bad of their team and the value of every player to the worth of the pride of the club.
40 -60 years ago they would have talked about Best, Moore, Charlton,Smith, Jones,Johnston, Hughes, Mac, Mc or O’leary( names that denoted a birth within the British Isles) etc
Now they get behind journeymen, carpetbaggers from France such as Pogba who signed fixed in lucrative contracts and have no pride or passion for England, Britain or its people ,feign injury, play at 10% of their ability and then promptly move on to Spain, Dubai and then China.
Sorry but I despise football. You speak of how great everything was 40-60 years ago, well it was not. I used to go shopping in Manchester on a Saturday and if United were playing you could guarantee pissed-up hooligans running up and down smashing windows and attacking people. Masses of coppers as well cause they already knew what was going to happen. Football is an ideal tribal rally point for low-IQ knuckle-draggers to act out their violent personalities.
About 20 years ago I went to see a game at Crystal Palace because my young son decided he liked football. What a disaster, a stadium full of same knuckle-draggers who got old and now only got energy left for screaming abuse at anyone they didn't like the look of.
The players' skin colours are surely the least of anyone's worries.
Oh Fuck off.
Hey i will judge everyone who does something i don't like and label them low IQ so i can feel better about myself. The situation you describe hasn't been at football for fucking decades.
I expect Libtards to be classing whole groups of people in derogatory terms but I guess I forgot about the seething hatred of the British class system.
007 Wannabee hahahah yeah right,
I think you are mistaken. Instead of making it a personal thing mocking my username just look at the facts. Football violence has always been a huge problem in UK, and specifically began in England. King Edward II banned football in 1314 and then King Edward III did same in 1349, because the violence was getting out of hand.
In 1985, 39 people were killed after a fight broke out at a British stadium. UK was banned from Europe for 5 years following that.
Organised criminal gangs are not really as much of a thing in modern UK as in some less developed countries but the gangs which do exist they are all football-centric. Look closely at the Nazi Azov battalion in Ukraine - where did they originate yes that's right football hooligans.
Football is an attractive and convenient rally point for violent deadbeats, no getting around that.
Like i said you are a tosser. No issues by fans fighting except the odd few idiots that you get at all large events in over 30 years. You come on and start quoting 1314.
I notice you completely ignore your stereotyping every football fan as having a low IQ . It takes a special kind of bigot to go back to 1314 in a desperate attempt to support your position. A lot worse things where happening in 1314 than what was happening at a sport event.
Bannockburn springs to mind.
One of the most stirring events I ever went to was a game at Highbury nearly 30 yrs ago, (my first and last). It was amazing. Some foreign imports but they were all European.Different world then.

I always considered watching football to be the equivalent of mowing the lawn for several hours.
