I struggle watching football I don't care about. Like when the Bundesliga kicked off first after lockdown 1.0 a load of folk I know were buzzing about it. I could not give a flying about it. The EPL is generally guff outside of 5 or 6 teams. You're not ever going to convince me that "the best league in the world" has that much shite in it.
However, I love listening to football on the radio. We never had Sky Sports in the house when I was growing up but I can remember there always being football on the radio while my dad was doing stuff round the house or in his shed. I might have said it before but the iconic Peter Martin commentary on Faddy's screamer in Paris was on in the kitchen while the two of us were standing having dinner while sorting out the garden. Dinner getting thrown round the place.
Honestly f**k knows how people can solely exist on watching football on TV. It's absolutely pish by comparison.
