Football

Who likes football?

[FussyElmo]

How do you mean watching it on tele, playing or standing on the sidelines cheering the boy on with a bag full cakes and treats

[clareelizabeth1]

I hate watching any sport on telly it just feels so lazy. If you like sport get out there and play it. Having said that you wouldn't catch me playing football to many childhood memory's of standing in goal surrounded by snow and ice. Give me nice warm indoor sports any day.

I love football, I have a season ticket for my team which I've had for 15 years now

I love football even if I didn't I would have no choice, 5 boys which all live and breath football, in fact my weekend is not stop between watching the boys play and then also having season tickets x

I am not a football fan, in fact I'm (not so) secretly hoping ds will take an interest in something other than football as he grows (sorry!!).

DS was totally uninterested in football till he was 9 1/2 and suddenly ... bam! Football mad! I am still not interested at all in football ;-)

I'm with Oscar Wilde: "Football is all very well as a game for rough girls...................."

What does that mean?! Either I read it wrong or I'm offended.

[mama2three]

ive learned to enjoy football , Im surrounded by dh and 3 boys - ive done many hours of freezing touchline support - got tutted at if I dare walk past the telly , put up with the bad moods at poor scores and bad ref decisions................
Big match tonight , not expecting to win though so lovely moods here afterwards to look forward to!!

No offense meant. Oscar Wilde said that football was ok as a game for rough girls, but not suited for delicate boys. I think it was meant as a sort of gender-reversal comment, as well as suggesting there were alternative sporting pursuits other than football.

My real objection to football is that it does tend to bring out the worst in so many of the people involved in it.

[kellyskidz!]

I'm neutral, my oh LIVES for it
He's a Sheffield Wednesday fan (for his sins lol!) and is just starting to take our 5 year old daughter to quieter matches and she loves it too
So I shall be outnumbered by the blue and whites in my own home
