Thank God The Football's Finished

[terenceandphilip]

its just a way of passing off the winter realy isn't it?

 

Moronic, overpaid players. Daft radio phone ins. Managers who couldn't pass Standard Grade English. Clubs in zillions of debt as no matter how much money is raised it disappears into players pockets. Greedy agents. Stupid stewards. Fickle fans. Badly behaved players.

 

 

I don't miss it one bit over the summer as the more intelligent sports come to the fore. Golf, cricket and tennis all have articulate and well presented participants and with the Ashes, domestic T20, the French Open and Wimbledon, the US Open and our Open to look forward to - who needs football?

 

If footballers played golf, they'd be standing on each other's lines on the green, taking preferred lies when noone noticed and swearing when their opponents were on their backswing. If they played cricket, they be screaming at the umpire if he gave a no ball, swarm round him for lbw decisions and they'd find fielding so boring they'd slink off.

 

Football's a kind of hybrid sport that attracts all types, thankfully its moronic element can go get bored all summer whilst the rest of us follow the wonderful array of summer sports.

Tennis and Cricket?

 

Roll on August

[tup]

Golf and tennis and all that shite is for gays.

[Stoney]

Havnt missed it one bit since my last game in March,

 

Had a cracking trip up to tain with the bowlers on Saturday, Can see this being a fixture of the future unless things dramatically improve next season.

[Dynamo]

Do they play bowls in winter?

[rgudon]

Cricket....!?

[Huntlysheep]

Cricket is for English gays & paki's that ca play fitba.

[Foster14]

Tennis, golf and cricket?!

 

Thank fuck there is the Confederations Cup at least.

[Byrne Baby Byrne]

Tennis is alright. Golf is boring to watch. Cricket is fucking awful.

 

FITBA

[Bluto10]

far superior to those shite games will be the lions tour.

once every 4 years, as good as union ever gets.

 

tup dina bother replying with the usual rubbish.

[Huntlysheep]

The confederations cup will do me.

[Byrne Baby Byrne]

do it Tup

 

COYT

[Foster14]

Why do the Lions even exist? Was there a point in history when they just needed to band together to compete with Southern hemisphere countries?

 

I don't really like sports where people just arrange "tests" etc which are just glorified friendlies, but account for most of their "competitive" sport.

[Bluto10]

its been originally going in some form since the late 1800s so its older that almost all major sporting tournaments

[Stoney]

Do they play bowls in winter?

 

Course they do

[tup]

Egg chasing is a joke, played by fat, posh bufties.

[Karl Fletcher]

I'll be watching the Tennis and Golf over the Summer but I absolutely detest Cricket.

 

Just can't bring myself to watch one second of it.

 

I miss the fitba already, roll on pre-season and the fixtures getting released

Presumably you won't be checking the score while you're playing bowls?

[slippers]

How you can be a football fan and glad its over for a few months ill never know!

[Stoney]

Been away the last four Saturdays and only once has somebody mentioned the score, that was the hearts game - because they decided it was so shit they left at half time to have a few pints at the bowling.

The Hearts game was one of the better games at Pittodrie this year.

[terenceandphilip]

I'll miss betting on it the most.

[Henry]

I'll miss not checking the scores.

[BrianFaePerth]

Golf is for queers.

 

Hi Paul

 

 

 

[Stoney]

The Hearts game was one of the better games at Pittodrie this year.

 

I wasnt even there nor have i seen the highlights, but i can say hand on heart it probably was, we scored for a start

[Byrne Baby Byrne]

The Hearts game was one of the better games this season yet it still managed to be shite

[Karl Fletcher]

For all the bad points fitba has these days, we wouldn't be giving a fuck about any of it if Aberdeen had a decent team on the pitch.

 

That's the bottom line. The money, the racism, sectarianism, the corruption, the cancer that is Sevco & Sellick, none of us would give a shit about any of it as long as the Dandies were doing the business on the park.

 

But we haven't for a long time now so it's easy to get scunnered with the game as a whole.

 

I'm just hopeful better days are around the corner.

 

Not confident, just hopeful.

 

Stand by the Dandies through the onslaught of pain, frustration, tedium and general fucking misery that makes up 99% of your time supporting them, because every now and then you'll be rewarded with moments of pure, balls oot joy that will make it all worth it.

 

Roll on the fitba season

Good post Karl loon.

That should have been the new slogan.

 

As for golf, rugby and tennis (aside from the specific situation where Andy Murray is playing and winning) they can get to fuck. Cricket...as for cricket that can FUCK RIGHT OFF. Think it can be explained by this picture of the kind of people who like it.
