If I wake up feeling like football I go back to bed until I feel better!

Suits me, but it still dominates the news.

For once I agree with Jim (and congratulate on him getting very close
to the OT: prefix). ;-)

I think for me the biggest issue with a lot of it is that fanaticism
of some of it's followers and how tribal some of them can be, wearing
their clan colours etc.

And what happened to H&S where it's 'ok' for several people to stand
in a field and someone throws a javelin that lands close to their
feet?

When there isn't much sport / athletics on they seem to be able to
fill the schedules with other stuff so why not keep all sport /
athletics on a channel(s) dedicated to such?

From a social viewpoint, I wonder how many people 'go along' with the
following of sport of some sort because if they don't they might be
left out (of their social group), considered 'strange'? Eg, it's sorta
expected for 'blokes' (and ladettes) to follow football (specifically)
and support a team or two and be willing and able to talk BS on the
subject at any time?

So why are the BBC showing re-runs of previous games on BBC2 every day ?

Does Salt'n'Lineker get repeat fees ?.

You would if you wore the 'wrong' colours and came to close to
the non-supporters.

I don't mind being excluded when it's my choice, just not when it
overwhelms everything else.

I bet it's still a minority of folk who are obsessed with sport of one
sort or another.

even the wife watches
fitba without me......she loves it....

I find women's football slightly less boring for some reason. ;-)

all I call out is "good wee player
Strachan" ....now and again...and I am told I am well out of
date.....

A mates Mrs is into 'Wimbledon'. At least he get's a few weeks (is
it?) peace and quiet doing exactly what he wants. ;-)

she is watching all those 90's cup finals at the moment and I
have to say the players looked normal in those days ....

I agree but I'm not sure it could get much worse. Hopefully, once they
have all got used to not hugging and kissing each other when they
score a goal because of Covid, they might go back to doing something
more British like a swift handshake or a subtle nod. ;-)

Yes, well, I never even noticed the lack of sport, mostly cos its as
interesting to me as a cardboard model of Edward Heath.

I once worked near Glasgow for a short while and the lads I worked with
offered to take me to a Rangers Celtic match. One then approached me and
in a quiet whisper asked me " are you Protestant or catholic".
Obviously gave the right answer as he said " Oh good. Wouldn't want you
to be in the wrong end. You'll be safe with us".
