I Wont watch it. Haven’t seen the last few games - only watched the cup final because it was a cup final.
i miss proper football, where players can tackle. Where players accept this should be a contact sport. Where acting doesn’t get you a penalty. When goals are given instantly and not taken away for unbelievable reasons (Lucas being fouled and the ball being kicked at him, hitting his shoulder and it being classed as a handball, or the penalty for the Eric Dier “handball” against Saudi Sportswashing Machine), where offsides are given for clear offsides not because your sleeve happens to be a pixel ahead of the last man, where there was no such thing as VAR, where money hadn’t completely ruined the game, where players were not as cynical (Laporte, Luke Shaw etc) as they are now.
As you can probably tell, football has been ruined for me, ruined by greed, by the Authorities, ruined by a cynical win at all costs attitude.
I dont enjoy it anymore. A game I loved has been destroyed and is now unrecognisable.
Great post, there have been many reasons over the years when i have been tempted to find another outlet then football but it keeps dragging me back in. Will not go over the reasons why i have fell out with the game i have played and worked in for years but VAR is starting to look like the final nail in the coffin for me.
