Jonathan Lewzey Posted June 13, 2010 Share Posted June 13, 2010 can't find any threads on it so thought i'd start my own who's watching? i'm watching as much as i can despite revising for 3 A level exams next week all been good so far except those annoying horns that it seems everyone in the crowd has and of course 1-1 with USA any early predictions on tournament winner? i have to say it'll take a lot to beat spain they look very strong, but come on england Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil May Posted June 13, 2010 Share Posted June 13, 2010 I must apologize , but I'm already sick to death of the world cup - it's messed up my Eastenders!! Am I the only one who feels this way, or, am I a total nutter B.P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dusty Posted June 13, 2010 Share Posted June 13, 2010 germany are looking good at the mo! The opening game was brilliant and SA were unlucky and underestimated? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paddy Fidling Posted June 13, 2010 Share Posted June 13, 2010 Have to say im agreeing with Phil, as not a natural football supporter, I don't really care much about the footie, and I doubt england will fare well, given their track history...I don't watch eastenders though.......

Andy Gates Posted June 13, 2010 Share Posted June 13, 2010 I totally agree with Big Phil. I do not understand the enthusiasm or fanatisim that surrounds the GAME of football, or why it has to alter all the telly schedules. As for the obscene amounts of money that seem to suround the game, just don't get me started....... I will be very glad when it is all over and we go back to what we call normallity. No BP, you are not a nutter, unless I am too? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan B Posted June 13, 2010 Share Posted June 13, 2010 I played a lot of football in times past. I like football and I like watching the big tournaments such as this and have my own opinions. However I cant help thinking I'm sat in a Bee hive while wacthing it! Best of all it gets louder when the African countries play! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allan Bowker Posted June 13, 2010 Share Posted June 13, 2010 I'm only watching the England games, I can't be interested in any other team. I'm more of an England fan than a football fan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
birdy Posted June 13, 2010 Share Posted June 13, 2010 I'm supporting Spain. I have £15 resting on them. And poor Whatever-His-Name-Is Green... How embarrassing. Other than that, now that I can say I have watched an entire game of football, I can confirm how rubbish watching is, compared to playing.

Myron Beaumont Posted June 13, 2010 Share Posted June 13, 2010 Eric Couldn't agree more -but it seems that mob ,non- participatory ( so called "supporters") mentality has taken over in so many fields of money making organisations under the name of sport . As for millions spent on the olympics to watch people running & jumping etc , I rest my case .I have seen about 10 minutes of the England match but I do wish the producers of the programme would reduce the "Bee hive" effect.Not that difficult surely .As a musician ,it really hurts my ears to hear that rubbish (empty vessels make the most noise comes to mind).I think it just reinforces most of our opinions so far about modern football doesn't it ? On a channel called Yesterday I happened to watch a game played in 1940 I think it was Wolverhampton .What a difference .That was when it was a sport . I' ll stick to actually making or doing something ,like the rest of us Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stefan Hafner Posted June 13, 2010 Share Posted June 13, 2010 I'd have to agree, while I do enjoy playing for a laugh its so boring to watch. Eric, I think channel 5 have the Red Bull air race, but its pretty random as to whne its shown. I've been watching it online, its shown live on the air race website Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biggles' Elder Brother - Moderator Posted June 13, 2010 Share Posted June 13, 2010 Seems like I'm like a lot of others on here - football does very little for me. I quite enjoy kicking a football around with the kids (or at least I did when they were younger!), but watching it is a yawn! I can't see why people get so excited about it? Now if it was watching the BBMF doing flypast, or the Red Arrows that I could understand the attraction of...or spending 4 hours standing in a cold muddy field in mid winter flying a toy aeroplane around - no problem . The attractions of these things are obvious - I'm sure you all agree But foorball? Cricket? Athletics? or (worst of all) Golf? Nah, I don't think so.

IanN Posted June 13, 2010 Share Posted June 13, 2010 My, there's some fairly dismissive comments here so far Each to their own. Many people don't like watching football. Lots of people watching us don't understand why we play with toy aeroplanes Que Sera.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rick Devonshire Posted June 14, 2010 Share Posted June 14, 2010 It's a sobering thought but the emergency services are bracing themselves for a big increase in alcohol fuelled violence as was encountered during the last world cup. I understand some hospitals experienced a rise of some 30% during the last competition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Houghton 1 Posted June 14, 2010 Share Posted June 14, 2010 I shall only be watching the England games although I will keep my ear to the ground to see how Australia and Italy fare as I have money on them in a works sweepstake. I watched the England game on HD, and what pigs ear ITV made of that cutting to an ad break 4 minutes into the game, just as England scored. What a bunch of numpties! Still, with so much footie on the tele it gives me more chance to do model stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Ashby - Moderator Posted June 14, 2010 Share Posted June 14, 2010 Keep the conversation clean and civil chaps. Given the nature of the R/C hobby I'm surprised if we find any footie fans here but each to his own. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Biggles' Elder Brother - Moderator Posted June 14, 2010 Share Posted June 14, 2010 I bet he was fit though! When I was a little kid we lived in Anfield and, according to my parents, in those days the Liverpool players used to do their training runs around the district. Apparently I often had my blond locks "toussled" by the great Billy Liddle. I hasten to add that I have no recollection of this auspicious happening and obviously none of his great talent rubbed off on me - probably just as well really!

Snorbitz Posted June 14, 2010 Share Posted June 14, 2010 I'm not a footy fan particularly but do enjoy watching England's finest overpaid idiots giving the country something else to be happy about, probably cheers them all up after watching that other brain disolving twoddle Eastenders, Its great to see all those little flags flying from the windows of the terraced houses in the towns and cluttering up the gutters and hedgerows everywhere else, the drunks having a good ol punch-up in the street after we've lost, the roads strewn with broken bottles and glass from the night before the numptys on the telly who all changed their names to Rooney by deed-poll. It must make the guys very proud who faught for these freedoms on the beaches of France. And if i hear 1966 mentioned again i'm emigrating.....oh thats right i am. English and no longer proud!
