Modern Football Bol**cks

Many moons ago the chavs were in an awful financial mess and on the verge of going out of business altogether when a guy called matthew harding came in and bought them out, pumped his own money in and started them on the road of financial domination (before abramovich). He too died in a helicopter crash (on the way back from a league cup game) and I dont remember anything like this for his death. The chavs did name one of the stands after him, but being the classless pikeys that they are, they since took his name off the stand and it's like he never even existed now as they have airbrushed him from their history.
I see leicester fans waving banners and flags today saying how their former owner will never be forgotten, and I'm thinking give it a few years and no c.unt will have a clue who you were, but at least they can all feel proud of the show they put on :roll:

Yeah I get that the guy was a big character for the club and possibly the local community, but he is hardly Mr Football.

Like every incident these days it is grief porn. Just people falling all over themselves to try and show that they are the most adversely-impacted by this (despite the lack of personal connection).

Harding did not start them on the road to financial domination augie. He saved them from going bust but then his poor decisions and mismanagement left them over £80million in debt and again on the verge of going bang. It was the Russian gangsta that saved them by pumping in that initial £200million and buying those first two PL titles.

Agreed though the whole Leicester social media grief porn routine has become tedious and embarrassing and is indicative of this modern phenomena of so many cùnts falling over themselves on twatter and Facebook to be seen as the most affected by whatever the latest trending tragedy is. The sight of professional victim scouse cùnts holding candles for the Leicester owner was nauseating tbh. :oops: :roll:

This is the age we live in..This overwhelming need to be the most profound in times of tragedy. What happened at Leicester was tragic but now let the poor people rest in peace please. I thought Saturday was over the top at the Kingpower Stadium. I would go as far as saying in the end it lacked class and dignity. But again this is the Social Media driven world and public tears far outweigh private grief. It's the same here in Ireland, very few gave a damn about the rough sleepers and homeless until it became a social media cause.Then in typical Irish fashion onto the bandwagon a nation jumped.
It is modern living and modern so called values that have seeped into football. Respect the dead with dignity with black armbands and silence and then play the game because the game does matter.

Yep, get the homeless off the streets for a Christmas dinner and kick em out on the street come St Stephens Day!
Absolute disgrace, and one of the main reasons these poor fuckers avoid shelters is that they are full of parasitic druggies and drunks who threaten them!
Governments sort it out!....

the number of homeless in the UK has gone up every year since the Tories came to power due to their austerity cuts.
I won't mention on this thread what is likely to happen if Brexit happens.

Going back to Leicester City - yes he was a nice man and it is all very sad but the reaction has been a bit over the top. Ironically his death has made it more apparent than ever how Leicester City won the title 2 years ago. This was not a fairytale win as was portrayed at the time - this was a club with a billionaire owner throwing a lot of money at that club.

Can I just say that some/a lot of homeless people are there due to addictions to drugs/alcohol etc, and to some degree they are there due to their own choices - there are tons of people who have lost their homes due to the celtic tiger going bust and jobs being lost etc, and those people need and would appreciate help to get homes to raise their families. However there is also a lot of people whose lives wont change no matter what help they get, and it is very hard to help people who wont help themselves

Yep, I speak to alot of homeless people as the smoking ban means I am standing outside pubs alot in Waterloo London and they often ask for a cigarette or some cash, there is alot of homeless and you can tell many of them have real problems, and probably could not hold down a council house if given one,

Many of the men in fact are ex forces and have mental problems around that. a lot of the women if you speak to them have been abused as kids or had a terrible childhood and just want to drink / get high to forget it all, I am sure it's not so diffrent in Ireland as well.

Also I think its probably a bit of cycle once you have been on drugs and or drink that bad you have probably done some things you are ashamed of to get drink/drugs and that is probably something you want to get high/drunk to forget about as well.

There are now about 10,000 homeless people in Ireland and nearly 4,000 are children. Fucking shameful that we have dozens of empty "ghost estates" left over from the Celtic Tiger and no government here has the balls to CPO them from the banks and developer scum to offer them to at least some of those people especially the ones with kids. All politicians are scum. :censored:

The referee in a women’s league match between Citeh slappers and Reading bitches has been suspended for deciding kick off with a game of rock scissors paper :lol: apparently he left his coin in the dressing room and had to think quickly as it was a televised game!
Obviously he should have allowed either the prettiest one or the one with the biggest tits to kick off! :roll:
I would suggest that this method become standard in all women’s football :barscarf:

All PL clubs being asked to chip in £250k each for a nice £5m bonus farewell for Richard Scudamore. Request coming from his long-time mate Bruce Buck.

That money could be put to such better use on grassroots or charitable projects.

That money would still go to better use if they just burned it.
