Maybe 26,000 people who didn't make it as professional footballers should leave tactical decisions, decisions on when to take a shot, and decisions on the build-up play to the 11 blokes who did and the management team who've delivered 2 promotions and a Championship play off final.

That's my opinion on the situation and why I find it frustrating.

Fair enough, I just think sometimes when you’re looking down on the game from above it’s easy to see the passes or shots available and the fans are just saying what they see. Berating players is obvs a different thing but I’d rather our crowd be willing players on and getting involved than have a dead atmosphere like Leicester.

I thought (hoped?!) this thread was going to be about 1980s football magazines.

Happy to admit I'm amongst that majority. I know a lot about football in a trivia sense but I couldn't tell you a thing about tactical analysis to save my life. I also thought it was alright when we signed Gyokeres permanently as at least we'd have backup in case Tyler Walker was injured

Not in any way suggesting I am an expert but having had to do my badges out here for my local club role, it has all but destroyed my enjoyment of watching football as entertainment or a spectacle. Coventry games I still enjoy because of my love for the club but pretty much anything else and I'm just sat there analysing the game instead of enjoying the show.

It's like when I first found the clitoris, sex was exciting and mysterious before that, and now this week it's just not the same.

My GF and best friend for a time were film students. Watching movies with them was the worst experience of my life. Just ruined everything. Similarly I got massively disillusioned by machine learning when I did my masters.

Some things are best left alone. Like the clitoris.

It's ok though as you have me as a forum friend and I am an expert. Like having a mate at school who can batter everyone who picks on you.

I’ll get it back on track….

‘Get it Forward’ or variations of are by far the worst. It’s an absolutely cave man shout.

As are the sighs when the team decide to play a simple ball and retain possession rather than attempting a hollywood pass not in said players skill set which is guaranteed to lose the ball.

Football threads where supporters try to show some form of elitism over others are the most pointless threads of all
