Guff football is pish

[Pacman1903]

Indeed, as proven......


“guff”

“football”

“pish”


Guaranteed a pish team from guffland will win what we did in 83.

Ooh to be

Whoop de do.

[Jackjarvis]

Whoop de do.

As per, they pop up.........anyway, Baku coincides with a golf outing, just have to slum it with my “made up chums” down in some dodgy hotel in Fife and watch it in the residents lounge.

4 teams from one league all qualifying for two finals, that has to be a first.......we last won our “league” in 85........since then budgetary demands have made it impossible for anyone outwith the ugly sisters to win our “league”

The guff one, unlike ours, is an actual league, hence it is going to the wire.

Ehmmmmm, slow down, since 85 out with the ugly sisters there have been O other winners.

Since 85 down South there have been 10 different winners.

Don’t let facts cloud your judgement regarding leagues now.

Miscounted——Aston Villa was pre 85......anyway, surely it is more of a league than our 2 horse race.

I was meaning you are harping on about it going to the wire this season. Makes a f@cking change.

The hype is unreal this season as if is so f@cking fantastic. Its nae really. One good season and the idiots get sucked into the hype.

The fact it was boring and well and truly pissed last season is forgotten

But again you are missing the point. The quality is not what this threads about. Of course mercenaries will play on 200k a week if its available. Its about the WWF entertainment sh@t that goes on, its about foreign fanboy day trippers, tannoyed crowd noise, primmadonna players getting managers sacked by downing tools, cheese rooms, season tickets for a grand, half n half scarves, spurs fans dancing, tunnel views, Man United fans since 2006, half and half shirts, electronic flags etc etc

Fitba for d@cks followed by d@cks

[redstarfk]

…its about foreign fanboy day trippers

Bit hypocritical , no ?

[Pacman1903]

Bit hypocritical , no ?

I can see why you think that.

I dont claim to support the clubs i go to. I support Aberdeen. Nobody else

Plus i go to see the cities, drink their beers and taste their local grub. I was in the Swiss history museum an hour before kick off at Young Boys, i got a taxi straight from Sigmund Freuds house to Rapid Vienna as examples

Im not on a chartered flight fae the Monkey House to Old Trafford or a bus fae Stonehaven to the Emirates

These are holidays for me. People go on a two weeker to the Costa Del Sol or where ever. I do a couple of weekends away and take in fitba when i do it

My hobby is also collecting fitba grounds. These plastic fans wont be at Shotts Bon Accord v Blantyre Victoria tommorow or were at Rot Weiss Oberhausen v Rot Weiss Essen last Saturday. The surely wont have 100 Scottish grounds under their belt which i will on Monday after Dundee North End v Dundee Violet.

This isnt supposed to come across as defensive. Just more to differentiate

Step away from the shiny things.

Undoubtedly, if you pay folk 200k a week they'll be quite good at football, they'd need to be.

But you need to look at the big picture.

The wedge sloshing about the moneyball league is knocking fu ck out of "the market" (to use a post-Thatcherite term I despise).

Man City are, I'd imagine (I seldom watch them), very good at football.....maybe even quite entertaining to watch.

Ditto a few teams down there.

But the manufactured, plastic, tourist orientated p!sh leaves me cold.

I go on a Bruce Springsteen message board quite often.

There's a Man City fan from St Louis, a Spurs fan from someplace on the Eastern Seaboard, a Chelsea fan from Carolina......etc. etc. etc.

I very much enjoy making reference to the likes of Bobby MacDonald, Paul Futcher, Joe Corrigan, John White, Willie Young, Mike England, Micky Droy, Kerry Dixon and many, many more, just to baffle them.

Fu ck me, the Spurs fan was posting links to articles from Forbes relating to Spurs value viz a viz their new stadium on the various money markets.
Forbes magazine.........the English first division........think about that.

The soul of fitba has gone.

How many joiners from Moss-side or brickies from Bethnal Green can afford to take their bairns to the match of a Saturday, like their Dads and Grandas did?

And the clubs don't give a flying furry one as lang as their subscribers in the Far East are tuning in.

The quality of the 11 v 11 on the pitch is nae what makes Guffball p!sh, I'd imagine the games midweek were quite entertaining......I wouldnae know cos I dinna hae BT Sports and hae nae remote desire to watch.

Growing up in Stoney it used to continually irk me the amount of cheeks fans cutting about, rather than getting behind their local team.

Now, the lads are growing up with Citeh, Man U, Liverpool, Chelski, Spurs shirts.

They can watch "their" team play thirty plus times a season without leaving their living room.

So the attraction of going to the Pitt, fu ck even to the Girodome or the B@stard Garden, is just nae there.

Hopefully, there's a tipping point coming and this whole shebang blows up in their faces (unfettered capitalism usually does).
It's nae happening any time soon, but I just hope it does in my lifetime.

I shall smile if it does.

Replace EPL with NFL(of which you like), it is a lot more money orientated over there, the salaries and those that go and support their “teams” make it so well......if you do not like guff football, so be it, however I’ve met many a decent sort on my sorties down south and overseas over the years, got offered a ticket from a Stoney loon in Baku this morning, however, committed to golfing already, however, I do know a few “made up chums” that are getting their visas sorted.......some are well heeled, some are not, certainly on my travels I’m normally with the latter.
