Open thread for those who want to show how much they despise football in general and the "World Cup" in particular. 
What world cup? The soccer one?
I don't particularly dislike football. I just dislike everything that goes with it. Tim Lovejoy, people down the pub making noises like they're all being simultaneously pleasured etc.
see this thread for all you need to know.

its just another way to entertain myself, life is boring football keeps me busy. Hate it or love it its just a hobby.
The problem I have is with the people who think it's more important than real life.
It's just a game. Get over yourself.
Welcome to the misery guts thread!
Tribal homo eroticism for the masses. imho
I detest football, footballers, their friends, families, neighbours. I detest every brand that supports football and every shareholder investing in that business.
I hate any animal that is in any way associated with any club or national team as a mascot and hate all other animals of a similar genus.
Also, any colour used in team colours are detestable and they can all go to burn a slow death in hell.
Ohh, and come on England
From what I can gather, even the football fans hate Lovejoy.

See you're wrong there! To people who are "into" football, its so much more - it's their main form of social interaction, amongst other things.
To professional footballers and all that is related, it's not "just a game", obviously.
I can't stand watching it, mainly because they f%^&ing cheat all the time. But I really like playing it.
I think Mr Woppit LOVES talking about football. Maybe secretly watching it as well? 😉

Pretty much.
Despise it. So much so that I'll even watch big brother before accidentally channel hopping thru a footy channel.
Why does a few footy games take more time than the entire Olympics, which has way more sports? And why is footy so special that it can call itself *THE* world cup, as if it's the only sport in existence?
/rant Someone wake me up next month when it's all over.

What about the stupid Americans and their World Series that is only open to American whatever sport it is teams...
FFS get over yourself, you should be cheering on England, you are lucky that your country is at such a great stage, I'd love Scotland to be there but we're shit, even that fanny at 10 downing street has a George cross flag flying
Why does saleem want us to subject ourselves to paying attention to an activity we CLEARLY despise? Strange chap. Must be a Scotch-ish thing...
Hate it more than anything ,
Bunch of useless overpaid pussys .... lame excuses all the time , like ive bruised my big toe , or ive chipped a nail ....
How can anyone be worth 100k a week !! FFS
cant wait until we get knocked out and get back to normal..
Rant over
The world series also has Canadian teams in it iirc.
Let's not get side-tracked. This is about dumping on soccer.
I hope to God they get knocked out in the first match - why prolong the agony. Football as a sport makes me feel sick to the bone ... utter sh*te!
Im proud to be ENGLISH, and I dont need an infalted pig-bladder and bunch of panzies to remind me of that!
phew cheers 🙂

They are American though aren't they? 😉
I hope to God they get knocked out in the first match
[pedant]It is impossible to be knocked out in the first match[/pedant]
The first match they play you clever tw*t!!!
Ditto Molgrips!! I love football and everything about it............COME ON ENGLAND!!
you should be cheering on England
NO! That's make me look like a fan/hooligan!
Sure in the extremely unlikely event that England win, I'd be happy, in exactly the same way I'd be happy if the English team wins the tiddly winks world cup, or an English player wins the snooker world championship, but I won't "support" or "cheer on" a team for a sport that bores me in to a coma for a month.
England win? .... ddddrrrrreeeeeaaaammmmm on chaps, that bunch of panzies will get whipped in the first match they play. At least thats the bet I placed yesterday in the bookies!
The first match they play you clever tw*t!!!
No need to be narky just because you were wrong.
The first match they play you clever tw*t!!!
They can't be knocked out in that one either. 😆
lol 🙂
What very angry people... cheer up only 63 games left to endure 😀
ACE!
Club football - no interest.
World cup football - slight interest if we get far.
In other words, no interest.
Meat pie, sausage roll, come on England, score a goal!

at least us haters don't have to endure them. we only have to endure the major breaking news / international crisis that is a player getting a sore leg 😉
if it were me though, with that many games, I'd just stick the whole lot in one group and make them play round robin and the winner is the one with most goals. then there won't be the pointlessness of playing 90mins, extra time and then having to kick a ball at the goalie because they'd still not scored any goals.
Rest assured my tv will not, under ANY circumstances, have any programme that has any connection with football on it. Ever. I'd rather suffer a migrain; I can take painkillers and lie in a quiet darkened room for a couple of hours.
I was wondering to myself if football forums moaned about mountain bikers................ and concluded that mountain biking is probably way off the radar of most die hard footy fans..
Football players:
Overpaid ballerinas who act like they've been shot in the face every single time somebody goes near them.
They argue with the ref about EVERY SINGLE LITTLE THING.
They can't keep their hands off each others' wives and girlfriends.
They cheat, they deceive, they act. And yet football is still called "the beautiful game".
Couple that with (some of) the fans - there is a proven 30% increase in domestic violence in the UK during the football world cup. Police all over the country are on a higher state of alert for domestic violence, as well as public disorder offences. Pubs all over the country are subjected to drunken louts, shouting abuse and profanities at anybody who DARES to support a team other than England, or who claim not to be interested in football.
This can only happen with football. Take rugby for example. The rugby World Cup, and the Six Nations sees people of various nationalities, sat together, drinking together, having a good time together, regardless of where they're from or what shirt they're wearing. No acting on the pitch, no abusing the ref and, if in doubt, the benefit of a video ref to make sure of any uncertain decisions.
It's nice to see the St George's flag flying (even though I'm welsh!), and people out supporting England. It's just such a shame that the minority of football fans, who are complete tools, give all the others such a bad name. I'm not going to go near a pub when there's an England game on. I'm not entirely sure how welcome a Welsh rugby fan would be in a pub full of IN-GER-LUND fans.
Poofs game.
today i considered banning any mention or inference of this event in the shop.
not football fans at TBC.
What p*sses me off is when you meet new blokes (i.e. new job, social gathering etc) and it becomes known that you (I) have no interest in wendyball and you get "that" look of barely-disguised contempt and are clearly regarded as not a proper bloke, and henceforth get ignored.
Pr!cks, it's only a bunch of overpaid goons chasing a likkle ball about.
(admittedly a bunch of middle-aged blokes tearing around on horrendously expensive bicycles may not be a whole lot better...)
What I don't understand is people who have a ****athon over the tour and are probably on here whining about football, I'm pretty sure it won't happen the other way around. Get over yourselves accept some people like it and just don't watch it if you don't like it. Next you'll want Steve Peat as Sport personality of the year...

I'm over it, we upgraded you with forky. Not coming to the pub left me miffed.
meh. well there is next year. i am there next year. i might even book now.
btw - forky aint an upgrade. he Hi 5's worse than me.
No one hi5's worse than you. A sad but true fact. Yer bird is an awesome highfiver.
Loathe football now. Used to go to matches in my teens (family tradition). London club, just in case anyone wants to know. 🙄
Would like a trial period as a WAG ... any vacancies do you reckon?
Football-free zone at C_G Towers for a week ... then my son arrives. Of course, once he starts bellowing, that bl**dy baby next door will scream even more. 👿
