What I don't understand is the incessant need to tell football fans this, as if it's something we need to know. There are lots of things I know absolutely nothing about. There are also lots of things I care absolutely nothing about. Many of these things overlap. I acknowledge there are people who both know about these things and care about them. Yet, I don't feel any need to tell those people that I know absolutely nothing about the things they know about, or care absolutely nothing about the things they care about. With you there. Some mentalist that a few years ago tried to make fun of the fact Scotland had lost a cricket game to someone. Seriously, really???? Cricket??? Scotland??? You're trying to kick my self esteem about a sport I care not one f**k about? Fucking choob 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bully Wee Villa Posted April 18, 2022 Share Posted April 18, 2022 (edited) Similarly, piss takers who don't even have an interest other than piss taking. I'll occasionally engage in some back and forth repartee (I'm trying to avoid using the "b" word as it's a bit Soccer AM for my tastes) with fans of rival teams, and more than happy to get it back. However, I've known people make the effort to seek me out to take the piss when Villa have lost, then I ask who they support and they say "oh I don't follow a team". Absolute weirdos. If you don't have a dog in the fight, f**k off. Edited April 18, 2022 by Bully Wee Villa 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure it will overtake football in terms of numbers watching it or prize money but even real life football clubs aren't ignoring this stuff, Wolves for example officially entering players into Rocket League competitions. As each generation of kids come through with new games and consoles it's only going to grow. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you don't have a dog in the fight, f**k off. I remember when I was at school, the morning after Hibs had lost a fairly important game. Somebody passed my Hibby mate a note which said 2.1 - he didn't even know enough about football to know the proper way to write down a score. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
