Things you miss about football since you first went.

Thinking that I had a chance of a game.

players sprinting out of the tunnel smashing footballs into the air rather than walking out to that shit premier league music

Hate the fuckin love in before the match then the players spend 90 minutes kicking punching cheating the players they just been shaking hands with

 

[Manchester Mackem]

Not forking out £35 for Hull away.

Being younger than the players

You can also add being younger than the refs these days
British Rail bog rolls cascading down onto the Fulwell end net when a goal was scored
Chanting starting up about an hour before the game.
"Spot the away fans" over in the Roker end when they scored.

And doing daft salmon leap headers to warm up.

This. Such a shame that it's almost as if some supporters go to games wanting to Boo and be negative rather than backing the team.

I do agree somewhat. Although I don't think most people go there to Boo, people definitely don't go to "support" their team anymore, they go to be entertained. It is truly a "spectator" sport nowadays.

yes!

 

[exiled_in_manc]

The common "fan" sitting in the home end is now the lowest common denominator in the entire sport nowadays. Clubs care more about conferencing, corporate hospitality, marketing and brand awareness in Timbuktu.

A quick 5 minute warm up before the kick off too. Forwards peppering shots at Monty and the other players just passing balls around between themselves.

Posts 1,3,4,9, and especially 18 just about sums it up for me so far.

Singing songs for each individual player and cheering when we got a wave.

Once the baddie was real as well

Wasn't he an escaped convict on the run who went to the match

Goals, chances, hope.

Black boots, normal sized shorts, physical contact between players that didn't result in free kicks and cards, players who didn't dive and cheat. Not having to take out a mortgage to watch a game, just turned up on the day and paid your money.

There was cheating and diving in the 70's when I started.
