The downfall of football continues.
No doubt the Premier League will follow suit soon enough.
Depressing.
The mighty Lewisham Borough are into the play offs and in the cup final! Last home game this Saturday if you're up to it.I think this sort of thing is what’s driven me towards going to more and more lower-league football, National League South and below. It’s almost as if the game these absolute tossers are ripping apart is a different sport altogether tbh. It’s a circus really.
When I lived in Aberdeen I used to go home and away to Cove Rangers in their Highland League days. This kind of thing, Sky and VAR are getting me thinking I'd be as well going to non-league.I think this sort of thing is what’s driven me towards going to more and more lower-league football, National League South and below.

It's even worse though isn't it? BBC sport frequently have news articles on American handegg, American rounders and American netball.So the el clasico matches will obviously the first to be shunted across to NY / LA no doubt, it’s depressing almost like the migration of the game to all things money and American.
This is a bit ironic given how all of 'our' sports became globally popular.Get this imperial culturism out of the UK.
I kind of wished it at the time tbh. It was only fans of the 'big 6' in this country that put the mockers on it.Kinda wish we just let them all feck off with the super league now.

They're banning them aren't they?I have a particular annoyance with most short sponsors being gambling companies, it's about time clubs stand up against this and the potential damage to it's community....
TBF, the backlash against it 15 years ago was so strong that I don't think it will be revisited.It’s been a while since “the 39th game” has been discussed, bet it gets suggested now in the wake of this
This is complete nonsense. There is massive interest in American sports, particularly NFL. It's estimated that there are over 13m NFL fans in the UK which is a significant number. People in the UK following the NFL is not the same as Americans following the PL because we don't have an NFL equivalent to follow locally. I don't like the idea of them playing their International Series games in the UK/Mexico/Germany (even though I have attended) but their approach to their teams is different to ours with the whole franchise system meaning teams can just move cities/states and the fact that they are so spread out as a country that fans travelling home and away isn't the same as football.It's even worse though isn't it? BBC sport frequently have news articles on American handegg, American rounders and American netball.
On the radio yesterday there was a two minute article with Lebron James moaning about his netball team - the Atlanta Shitehawks I think - losing in their 17th play-off final game against the Miami Spunkhounds.
Nobody over here cares, except Colin Murray and a few dozen other sad yankee doodle wannabees. Get this imperial culturism out of the UK,
