Has Football gone mad...again?

[BluePeadar]

I probably come to this conclusion myself about 6 times a season.
It was normally when those lot across the park came out in defence of another indefencable actions of one of their orcs.
Or when a player blatantly cheats to swindle the ref , Henry's hand ball vs Ireland , persistent diving and play acting.
Players astronomical wages , the behaviour of players off the field and the skullduggery of FIFA also get the mind thinking at times if football has got past the point of no return.

i started this thread after reading the bbc gossip column of today , a lot of nonsense in there but a few stories popped out that made me wonder WTFF.

Notably
1) Hull City's new signing turned down Benfica for a "dream move" to the premier league
2) spurs owner wants £1 billion for the club
3) UEFA rewrite rules to allow Man City to breech the financial fair play rules
4) Chelsea have expressed interest in an 11 year old from Barcelona

what's next. Have we entered peak football? am I alone in thinking its going a bit mad? are those my feet?.....

While I tend to agree.

You're going off the 'Gossip column' which is usually made up rubbish from tabloids.

i know its not the central source of fact and the UEFA rewriting the rules thing especially could be up for interpretation but I cant understand some of the shyte that the fans have to put up with.

Ah here Ijjy, the transfer thread was a juggernaut and it was mostly powered by Twitter dreams and unicorns. Give Peadar's thread a chance.

Post random rubbish on here.

I've been paid for doing that for about 4 years now.

I just get frustrated with people getting 'annoyed with modern football'. If it's that bad don't read about it. Don't follow it. And most of all don't beleive what we all know are awful fibbing newspapers say.

I don't like religion so I don't read the bible.

Maybe just taking to drinking boring imported ales and only watching local football.

Being frustrated about people being frustrated with something is frustrating.
