It is a vile 'sport' and it is entirely run, managed and played by overpaid prima donnas. I dislike its blokish supporters. I dislike the constant endless analysis when one of the spoilt little diddums manages to score and suddenly becomes an 'ingerlan hero'. I dislike the playacting and how they are allowed to get away with it. I dislike the fact I have to suffer hours of office banter and bullshite every Monday morning. I dislike the questionable owners of clubs. I dislike the constant moaning from supporters about the cost of tickets. I dislike 1966 is rolled out at every opportunity, it was 50 years ago! 50!. I dislike the fact people automatically assume you follow a team then cut you off because you say you don't follow one. I dislike those people who don't like wendyball but like the 'world cup'. I dislike children looking up to wendyballers as some sort of role models. I could go on.

... hmm yep, I actually think I hate it. :okay:

I hope that is not true.

I hate it when I pass someone uphill and they think I have insulted their family honour or something and to restore honour they must reovertake. Looks I am just going home and you were going slower up the hill. I have no interest in racing you.

Are you sure it's not just a misunderstanding on your part? I mean you read this thread title and then posted the above.

You could just get down from the fence and say what you really mean. But seriously, a lot of what you say could also be applied to Hollywood. Lots of seriously overpaid premadonnas. Very blokish culture, particularly given the current scandal occupying the news. OK play acting is part of the job but no-one will say they hate the the movie industry because of these similar values.

The point I really want to make is if you don’t like or even hate the way football is conducted at the premier and international level you can either take an interest in the more grass roots level or avoid it altogether if it’s not your cup of tea. But to say “I hate football” still sounds strange.

Not least because most football fans would agree with most of the original rant.

I agree to an extent but by definition football fans don’t hate football. The original rant clearly does and he had 13 likes to his post so hating football is apparently a popular thing.

Personally, I liked it as a really magnificently crafted rant. I can use the sports sections of newspapers to clean paintbrushes or get dog poo off my shoe. There's an off button on the telly to get rid of the rest of it. Hatred doesn't come into it.

Anyone rolling around in agony during a football game is clearly so badly injured that they should be ordered off the pitch immediately and forced to rest from footy for a month.
They all have a week off between games anyway, and sometimes they are 'rested'. Tennis players and cyclists would love to be paid millions for 90 minutes competitive sport once a week.
