Any UK Miscers here NOT a fan of football?

**IronLyfe** · 03-17-2010, 05:33 AM

Ive always hated watching it. Sh!t is made to be WAY to important here. They get so overpaid it makes me rage. Sure theres work that has to be put in and what not but for what they do they shouldnt get paid anywhere near that much. I have other reasons but ive never been a fan.

**s7ev** · 03-17-2010, 05:34 AM

they don't get overpaid... for the money they bring into the club.

also not a fan.

Checking in

edit: if they're not overpaid, why are a large number of football clubs facing massive debt?

**H-Town-Matt** · 03-17-2010, 05:35 AM

ive lost a fair amouunt of interest in it, due to the lack of sportsmanship/cheating. i still follow my team. but dont really watch games that often now.

**hullcity** · 03-17-2010, 05:37 AM

i dont understand how people cant love the sport growing up in this country, when i was younger it was all i did, if i wasnt playing it i was watching it, if i wasnt watching it i was wishing i was watching it, what did you fill your childhood with?

nope im football mad its like a relegion to me .........the amount of money the players bring in to the club by shirt sales and so on they do not get overpaid.

footballers who are on the highest wages will pay back that money to the club......the higher profile they player is the more money he will generate for the club .

Super Nintendo, PS1, N64, saved by the bell, pokemon cards, power rangers, dragonball z, fresh prince etc

sports wise I was more of a cricket fan, not so much now though.

**Bydded_Gryf** · 03-17-2010, 05:39 AM

Hater checking in. Cant stand watching it/talking about it but love playing it.

**Acidvoodoo** · 03-17-2010, 05:40 AM

*raises hand*. I used to support leeds when i was younger but lost interest. League football is just aload of random players from all over the place, so it's hard to feel any patriotism. I do on the other hand really love the world cup/euro, as everyone is actually representing their country. I'm dual USA/UK so hoping both teams can do well

**MHannibal** · 03-17-2010, 05:41 AM

used to be a football fanatic when i was younger , once i stopped playing i stopped supporting tho , i still keep an eye on Man utd but i dont make a fuss about it :P

I dont mind playing it..for the sake of competition. Same with playing FIFA 10 on PS3.

I actually realised I used to do a lot of football orientated stuff like play football, play ISS Pro on my PS, collect Merlin Football stickers for my football sticker book. Never actually did the main thing a footie fan does, I never watched it because I just hated it for some reason. I remember the world cup 98 finals with brazil and france and I was so into it for that 1 match..now sh!t just makes me rage.

**Euro_Brah** · 03-17-2010, 05:43 AM

I love it but you have to cos there isnt anything else...

American here, but I share your sentiment. I can't stand watching anything but hockey on tv. During the summer im out 3-4 times a week playing soccer in the park, though.

**Lovetodream** · 03-17-2010, 05:43 AM

i have a season ticket for my team but only really go once every 3 home games or so

usually let my cousin go

strong waste of money

**Bubblebath Gorilla** · 03-17-2010, 05:43 AM

used to be obessesed about football,the world cup (Korea/Japan) and had the fifa games but not bothered or interested at all now

**LOLwut..** · 03-17-2010, 05:45 AM

It's not what i remember when i was younger. Now everyone is just looking for an excuse to go down and get a freekick/ penalty. It's b/s.

Love playing it though.

well it depends in england in the premiership an everage wage for an average player will be around 20-40 k a week ...... the higher profile / better the player is the more he will earn.
for example at aston villa ashley young is on around 80 k a week.......where as someone like agbonlahor is on 40-50 k a week. a reserve player will be on around 5-10k a week or less.

then you have the championship where players will get from 2-6 k a week , from then on the palyers wages get significantly less when you go down the divisions.

**daman2k** · 03-17-2010, 05:48 AM

What i dont even understand how people growing up here can not like it

The only time I go and watch is when theres place in my companys box at old trafford but I only go for the free beer and food.

I dont mind a good game of fifa or pro evo and love a 5 a side game or playing anytime in the summer but apart from that, i **** it.

**BigMacMeal** · 03-17-2010, 05:52 AM

not a football fan at all, dont mind watching the world cup though but never been into watching it.

not a rugby fan either but atleast i can appreciate it's a decent sport played by men, not pansy pretty boy millionaires feigning death when touched...

american football FTW

**nathwoz** · 03-17-2010, 05:53 AM

It's like a religion to watch/play it here.
