Has anybody REALLY missed football ?

I miss family most but I miss my football and now cricket immensely. Don’t care what division we are in next season the only thing that matters from a football perspectives is the club survives.

 

this social distancing can be problematic !

 

Some good posts on this thread.

I'd agree that the social aspect is the thing that I miss the most & the diversion from normal life issues on to the result on a Saturday. At the moment all I seem to talk about is this pandemic, financial, health & work (or lack of) issues. Music, walking with the dogs & the interviews @Loko the Tyke has done have probably been the only things that have diverted me from those things.

Seeing football behind closed doors doesn't really appeal. I think Liverpool deserve the title & that should be played out if it can safely & without a strain on NHS resources (I'm not convinced it can). I cant see the Championship being finished & can see a real battle between clubs how that is resolved & it won't be edifying.

 

The line of least resistance rightly or wrongly to avoid expensive and time consuming legal actions is to void the season altogether.

 

Pretty sure everyone misses Football and will be back watching it live as soon as it's allowed.

 

I once had to wear one of those heart checking moniters for 24 hrs the type you wear around your waist with electros sensors taped to your body..due to a health problem... I had also to keep a written log of what I was doing.too, whilst wearing it... Ie climbing stairs walking.. Sitting etc...
So I can answer that there's some proof in your post...
Barnsley were on TV whilst I was wearing the machine and when they analysed the results of my test.. It showed up how my pulse rate and heart beat flucuated during the match... As daft as it seems when I was speaking with the consultant and explaining my log he actually said... Looking at this I'd say if we matched this to the tv footage and your reactions your results would match perfectly to how the game panned out .. He continued I'd say your team scored twice and it looks like you've headed and kicked every ball and shouted at the tv..a few times
There was spikes and lows all over the data

 

Sounds like that Sam Allardyce documentary from a few years ago.

 

Try All Bran

 

It starts tomorrow in Germany for anybody that does a super 6 league on the sky bet thing it does too.

 

I did at first but now am not bothered.

 

Not really but there’s two major reasons for that. The weathers been great & I’ve had loads of good stuff to watch. The weather won’t last forever & nothing new is been made / filmed so I imagine boredom isn’t that far away

 

I still haven't had chance to catch-up on the things I've recorded on my Sky Q Box the weathers been that good. I've been listening to music in the backyard with a Strongbow or two in the evenings. I've the rest of Brassic 2 to watch. The new Men in Black and Star Wars films to get round to.

 

I miss the Oakwell experience. Going up to the ground with my son, settling into our seats while the players warm up, a bit of chat with nearby regulars, seeing the excitement on the little kids faces. I'm missing seeing my team winning or drawing or even losing. I'm missing the controversial decisions, the half-time draw, the half-time scores, the half-time piss. The bloke who gets wound up over every misplaced pass, the folk who wander in and then have to go back and ask a steward where their seats are, the chants of "Stuber, Struber, give us a wave!" Struber's hat. Vicky running on when a player goes down. Studying the Ponte end and wondering which of them are BBS posters. The nail-biting last few minutes. The final whistle. Other final scores on the way out of the ground. Checking the league table for the umpteenth time this week...

*sigh*

I'm not missing the money-go-round. Or the Premier League.

 

Eager Beever quote. last night ( Brassic s2/e2) took me 10 minutes to regain my composure. Decided to savour it weekly. Rather than bingeing on it..

 

Brassic is great. Joseph Gilgun was interviewed on episode 8 of Russell Howard Home Alone if you want to find it on catch up. Funny guy and openly admits his bi polar stoner character is based on himself so not hard to play.

 

Miss the people I sit with and travel away with most of all. Don't miss the game at all as it was in a disastrous corrupt mess even before the virus, and it's getting worse. Won't be there next season anyway, so for the time being that's about it for me and football.

 

I do sometimes. If all this was 10 years ago I'd be ripping my hair out, but my love for footie has been slowly declining for ages so it's "just one of those things" now. Saturdays just seem a bit strange

 

I'm looking forward to June 1st and resumption of Horse Racing behind closed doors followed by Royal Ascot. I've got 15-19 booked off work. Got money back from Cayton Bay booking. Nice week in watching the Horse Racing in the afternoon. Of course Laura will have other plans

 

Cayton Bay is great. Love a pint in Tow Bar.

 

Yep. I miss it. I miss it terribly.

Particularly the aways.
