Highland Capital Posted May 8, 2020 Share Posted May 8, 2020 (edited) Young teams. Often Stone Island clad neds who act like they support Red Star Belgrade in 1983 yet run away at the first hint of confrontation.

Highland Capital Posted May 21, 2020 Share Posted May 21, 2020 One thing that I hate, which will have to change post-Covd, is how bad the facilties at stadiums in Scotland are. I've been to grounds with toilets with no toilet seats, no hot water and no soap. And of course, then you've got the people who don't wash their hands even when there is soap and water. Don't forget, you're often paying £20 to get in. In the past there's always been happy clappy dullards who come out with guff like "Do you to the football just to go to the toilet?" Well of course not, but it's all part of the experience and now, it can never be like that again. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think youre spot on.scottish football chooses to completely overcharge spectators,the very least they can do is provide reasonable facilities for this charge 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They charge 21st century prices for a 1970s away end that has shite views of the game and is absolutely falling to bits. Every time I go I imagine walking around the away end with an Aberdeen director pointing out broken things, the terrible toilets, the crappy view, the crumbling stairs etc and asking him to justify what I've just paid to get in. But we all just pay up anyway. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's more to life than football and I'm not going to grounds that charge £20+ to be treated like dirt anymore. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Melanius Mullarkey Posted May 22, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted May 22, 2020 The ever ending greeting amongst “fans” about the lack of a “match day experience”. Have a couple of pints, get into the game, be subjected to abject misery for 45 mins, maybe a half time pie, repeat abject misery, couple of pints after the game. What more do you fucking want? Heards of wildebeest sweeping majestically across the pitch at half time? Mount Krakatoa erupting from the top of the main stand whenever there’s a corner? Milfy nurses dotted strategically about the stands to mop your brows? 23 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it might be more of a thing for fans who support clubs miles away from where they live where they’re expecting the match to basically be their whole day. People who support clubs miles away from where they live are probably on a lot of people’s lists of things they hate 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hank Scorpio Posted May 22, 2020 Share Posted May 22, 2020 I absolutely hate listening to the pish some folk come away with, often making me question whether not they’re watching the same game. Stuff like Kieran McDonald delivering 7 or 8 great balls into the box, then putting the 9th too long and out for a throw on the other side and someone shouting about how he’s been terrible the whole game. Just completely wrong, inane, nonsense. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Highland Capital Posted May 27, 2020 Share Posted May 27, 2020 (edited) Laps of honour that include all kinds of hangers-on. When my team wins something, I want the lap of honour to be for the players and the coaches. Nowadays they seem to include wives, girlfriends, mistresses, kids, parents, the team bus driver, family pets and so on and so on.

Andy_K_97 Posted May 27, 2020 Share Posted May 27, 2020 EPL fanboys who go on about how great it is and all other football everywhere in the world is crap. The more commercialised the big leagues become, the more I lose interest in them. See also: extreme Messi or Ronaldo fanboys. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Herman Hessian Posted May 27, 2020 Share Posted May 27, 2020 the fact that the 'long awaited' return of the Premier League - before it's even happened - has degenerated in to whining and bitching about fucking money guardian article: Liverpool among clubs to argue against paying £330m rebate to broadcasters i don't really care who's right and who's wrong - what predictable, greedy, small minded fuckwittery it is, though - the sum involved is something between £10m and £30m per club - and they'd all piss that up the wall on some run of the mill squad-filling foreign non-entity without batting an eyelid; set of twats, the lot of 'em 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toby Posted May 27, 2020 Share Posted May 27, 2020 (edited) Parachute payments. Why reward teams for failure and create an imbalance before a ball’s kicked the following season? If clubs are that concerned about the financial impact of relegation, insert release or wage reduction clauses into players’ contracts. If your players aren’t prepared to accept such clauses and the impact of that is financial hardship if you don’t get a parachute payment to keep them on in a lower division, then perhaps they’re not really the players for you and you should consider operating within your means.

Do you mean that guy who walked on in full kit and was part of the Man United line up photo years ago? Was before an away game against Bayern Munich as I recall. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
