Why is it dynamite though..? Your team isn't playing..? OK, if the quality of the football is astonishingly high I might raise an eyelid from an academic point of view, but because I'm not emotionally involved it's really just watching moving pictures, isn't it..?

I've always loved football, and played it throughout my younger years, but I need a motivation to watch it, and watching two teams that have no connection with me and my home town doesn't cut it for me. Perhaps I'm just old fashioned.

Then again, I also resist, with every fibre, a media that tells me I must be interested, when I simply am not. I don't give in, watch and get all involved [not saying anyone else is different]. I go and do something else. I can be quite a hard sell, when I want to be. ;)

Incidentally, another example of this happened again this morning. Virgin Media post endless [and I mean ENDLESS] correspondence imploring me to take their broadband, TV, phone, mobile, etc... and I'm not interested, and I've told them so. In fact, the more they post me this stuff, the less I'm interested. SKY used to do the same, but they gave up, when I told them to stop wasting their time. I really don't see why I'm not allowed to be interested in what I want to be interested in and nothing else..? When I want something extra I'll go looking. This endless postage is tantamount to cold calling.

This is such a stupid post, do you not find football remotely entertaining or worth watching if you're not supporting one of the teams?

Just watching moving pictures? Do you watch tv? Make sure you don't visit youtube, might come across a few more of those moving pictures on the screen

Do you not read posts..? Second paragraph. Re-read it, or read it for the first time. There's your answer.
 
Personally I think it's a total disgrace that it isn't a 3pm kick-off. ANOTHER footballing tradition thrown on the scrap-heap to pander to the greed of the media.

For the first time here downunder there was no cup final party climaxing at the midnight kickoff it was decided by the brothers that trying to keep going till 4am 'ish was futile as we are all ageing but I must admit to feeling quite chirpy this sunday morning at 9am - makes a change - would have preferred a hangover though - bring back 3pm please !!
