Who Is Fed Up With Football?

Who is fed up with football. Coz i know I am.
How dare they muck about with our soaps to put some over paid idiots on in there place.
Why cant they just keep one channel like BBC2 for the daft game.

Re: Who Is Fed Up With Football?

There's not enough footy on TV but far too many soaps and I don't watch any of them. If they scrapped some of the soaps then they would have extra money to bid for more football games so why not scrap Eastenders and Coronation Street for starters.

Re: Who Is Fed Up With Football?

At least theres a point to football. I can't really see a point to soaps. My wife and daughters watch them all and what little of corry orry I have been forced to endure has been laughable to say the least... A young lad is gay... yeagh and? What poor handling of that story line. As for the farm people... new york doesn't have as many disasters as that village.

there is a reason behind football. I cant see one behind soaps other than to muddle yur brains.

I agree with you on the one channel.. stick it all on one channel (unless two games on at once) But to argue that soaps are more important..well....hmmmmm

Re: Who Is Fed Up With Football?

Excuse me Mr Kipax.
Do you see the words Soaps are more important than football?
NO!
I know nothing about football except these men kick a ball round a feild getting mucky and hug and cry and get paid for doing it.
So I can see no point in the game exept to entertain.
My question was who is fed up of football.
Not football v soaps, or is football more important than soaps.
I am saying leave our soaps alone. There are plenty of other channels.

You get him lass...

I am not a great football fan and Sunday ****** me off a bit. However... It is getting a little bit too soapy.

What happened to real life and good acting…?

Re: Who Is Fed Up With Football?

I am, personally, sick to the back teeth of football and the obsessives who rattle on and on about it. I note with disgust the petulant displays of violence over the last couple of days following Sunday's match, both here and in Portugal. If anything else caused so much disruption and damage it would be banned.

Re: Who Is Fed Up With Football?

To answer the too much football question how about this -

5.30-6.00 BBC1 Neighbours
6.00-6.30 Five Home & Away
6.30-7.00 Five Family Affairs
7.00-7.30 ITV Emmerdale
7.30-8.00 BBC1 Eastenders
8.00-8.30 ITV Coronation Street

EVERY NIGHT, 3 hours solid of soaps (that's two football matches!). THEN, on saturday during the afternoon on Five there is a Home & Away omnibus, an Eastenders omnibus on Sunday afternoon, a Coronation Street on Sunday also. Add to this the repeats of Family Affairs and Home & Away every day at 12.30 on Five, AND the Neighbours episode at 12.50 every day.

Even just taking the weekday evening episodes of these tragic events in consideration that adds up to 15 hours a week of soaps.....and every two years you moan when a little bit of football slightly disrupts your viewing?!?! I wont lie - I don't like soaps.

If anyone is sick of the football then just ignore it - dont read the newspaper articles and switch over when it comes on the tv news reports. I, personally cant stand the fixation with celebraties (A,B,C,D or even E-list ones) and their banal, meaningless 'antics' - I really dont care if Britney Spears has dyed her pubic hair polka-dot, so you know what - I do my best to ignore it, I dont read the gutter press and I dont watch any of the so-called 'entertainment' shows on tv - Hey Presto, it no longer intrudes into my life and I am no longer fed up with it!

Re: Who Is Fed Up With Football?

Its a massive sporting event and some people still moan that it effects there soaps. I guess no matter what happens, if it effects there soaps then they moan.

I agree with your sentiments.. I stopped reading daily newspapers and rarely watch news programes... why? because its nearly all bad news.. Why spoil your day reading about bad news or watching someone tell you about bad news. No point crying about it so I simply dont watch/read it.

Some people moan about things.. some people take action

Re: Who Is Fed Up With Football?

I find it disgusting moaning about football when YOUR country is playing in a major competition.

But what i do find amazing is that there are a lot of extra footy fans who dont watch club football.

Re: Who Is Fed Up With Football?

What are you complaining about Anne....no decent soap? There's the second episode of a great new soap opera on telly tomorrow night..it's called "England Euro 2004" & it's a fantasy about a bunch of plonkers who believe that they can win something called the European Championship. However, there are only 3 episodes - final one is on monday night, when one rumour of the plot has it that a spacecraft will descend and embark our fearless band of Englishmen on a journey beyond the stars. The other rumour is that the series may be extended, but most serious commentators dismiss this as too simply unbelievable.
