Football

[naomi24]

Now I'm a patient woman and I accept that every night the main television channels are currently drowning us with football … so like any other sensible person who isn't interested in the game, I, without complaint, choose to watch something else. However, this morning pottering in the kitchen, thinking I'd get a bit of general news and chit chat, I decided to switch the television on - something I rarely do - and what was I bombarded with? Football! Why or why do they have to dissect every move, every foul, every goal - every single thing? Isn’t news of the score the following morning enough?

Lots of love Naomi - aka Moani . ;o)

I think the real irritation is that anybody at all interested in it will have seen it before, anyway. They will have watched the match and seen all the follow-up analysis the previous evening.

The pundits have got to earn their money somehow.

Viewers in Scotland have their own programmes. :-)

If they weren't talking about football, it would be Ukraine, covid, Brexit, cost of living, strikes etc etc.

Just put on Homes under the Hammer or A Place in the Sun.

I would just add though that the gap between zeroes and heroes seems vanishingly small when it comes to oddly-coiffed men running around.

PMSL dougie!

Agreed Douglas, Bale running around wearing a teapot lid and others with shaved back and sides looking as if they play for Fountains Abbey.

Its a joke isn't it .
The game is so over analysed , for such a simple uncomplicated sport .

So called 'analysts' coming up with things that aren't really there

Although 16.9 million watched the game live (Beeb stats)... many may have being working so don't know what happened.

Things will settled done if Wales beat England been on pause since Monday .

Yip hair doer of the year

I hate football with a vengance and always dread the world cup when I know that all the programmes I love will be moved around to accommodate yet another match! I will never understand the obssession with kicking a ball around a field, looks so boring to me. I will be so happy when it's all over. England won't win either!
