The Good Things In Football ? (1 Viewer)

With managers involved in dodgy dealings,players getting up to no good off the field,and agents infesting our sport,all we hear is the negative side of football.But what are the best things about the beautiful game ? For me its meeting up with fellow fans before a match in the pub and then going to the game. And although we don't see many great games,when we do it's a great feeling. When Armstrong was banging the goals in last season that lifted the spirits didn't it ? These are a just a few things, anymore ?

Would agree with that ! The social element is the biggest thing on why I love football, meeting up with the lads, having a few beers and watching the game. I love talking to opposition fans, sharing stories and getting another opinion on our clubs or the football world.
Just scoring feels great (usually shortlived) but any win is great and usually allows you to forget the off field shit that is going on.
I also love that you normally have one player who dies for the club and gives his all (probably not the best player by far either), that's what football is about for me.

I'm gutted that the Chesterfield game is off so now I have to find something to replace it with !

I used to love the England games also particularly the tournaments, the pubs packed in 1996 etc and the buzz that people had when we were doing well was just fantastic

When the teams scores is a fantastic feeling, especially a 90th minute winner in an important game. The feeling is indescribable to those who don't go. Just going nuts with thousands of other people, hugging some bloke you've never met. Pure elation.

The pure part in life it plays.

If you have ask why Footballs such a big deal, you simply don't understand.

I go by myself, so no social experience at all for me.

Is that because you don't drink and meet other fans in the pub ?

There was a video out last year sometime that showed a bloke, it had his missus saying things about him like he doesnt show emotion, he doesnt have fun etc and meanwhile it is showing him at a football match. I can't find it now

Could well be.

Used to be 5 of us, but over the years they on by one dropped out and I have now been going just by myself for the last 15 years or so.

When my son stopped and two mates I too went on my own for a while. Tell you what you do watch the matches differently on your own, but among mates you talk and miss stuff.

The best things about the game for me are the World Cup and the European Championship. I look forward to those tournaments from the moment the previous one ends.
However, my interest pretty much ends when the teams I support are eliminated (as they always are).
My support of CCFC is more like a duty that I have to perform. My father started taking me to the games because my brother had no interest in sports. I am the last person in my family to have any interest.

Spot on.....even better on a big away day.....the frankly stupid, unashamedly childish, often hilarious fun and banter that can be had.....even at £6.50 a pint...

Happy Friday Folks !

Mick Hucknall was there?

So were Bernard Sumner and Peter Hook from Joy Division, and of course the great Stephen Patrick Morrisey

I had no idea they were all City fans, seems completely out of character for Morrissey to be jumping around like that

Dont know, but there was a bit on the tv this morning when the kid asked him if he'd be his best friend bless him.

Excellent work by the player, I am sure city players do many good things that aren't always made public.
