Modern Football Bol**cks

As we're unlikely to see terraces again at football, this is the virtual equivalent where you can chat to your hearts content about all football matters and, obviously, Arsenal in particular. This forum encourages all Gooners to visit and contribute so please keep it respectful, clean and topical.

This is actually a serious one.

Casual racism still allowed by football fans.
Really should be sorted out but still allowed by the majority....

Spain and Italy have been awful for years, with very little done other than token fines etc.

Or were you referring to English football ?

Fucking disgusting what goes on in those countries, plus at times in France and nothing happens. Start shutting grounds down until the teams or the governments start doing something. Spain and Italy almost seem proud of the fact that they have a huge racism problem.

Laps of appreciation. Left at final whistle rather than suffer that. On the upside, I did get a free beer from Arsenal,for using my digital pass.

Apparently there is "huge pressure" on broadcasters to televise every game in the bints world cup this summer. Who exactly is putting this "huge pressure on"? The couple hundred lezzers that watch this shit and a couple of pc wannabe blokes? :oops: :roll:

Fuck off. The fact I had no idea there was a birds world cup this summer says everything about how irrelevant it is. :lol:

Fucking hell. I read today that the broadcasters in Europe fear a TV "Blackout" because UEFA countries haven't agreed a fee for the matches. FIFA apparently want more money and TV companies are saying no. I'm not sure how much more deluded people can be about this nonsense. Nobody really gives a shit about it and it's worth absolutely fucking nothing in comparison to proper football. In quality terms, the rights are worth less than any level/step of the real English football pyramid. Right down to reserve teams of the lowest possible Saturday league.

Absolutely. Infantini is a fucking lunatic if he thinks he can charge anywhere near the going rate of proper football for this third rate amateur level shite. Just because they want something to be equal in quality does not automatically mean it can be. :roll:

Doesn't help that the tournament is in Australia and NZ so a lot of matches are really early in the day for Europe.

Given this and the fact the women's game isn't watched by as many as the men's, realistically, how much did they think they'd get on TV rights?

There is a 7v7 tournament on at the moment.

Lee Trundle is playing for Wrexham and they beat the US national women’s team 8-1.

People who can’t be bothered to get back to their seats for the second half of a cup final. Back in the 1970s no one left at half time. If you wanted to go to the toilet you went where you stood.

Playing in Community Shield when you are runners up in the league. Back in the 1970s Arsenal didn’t bother with it when they won the league.
