!!!!!! is a true football fan? I don't particularly like the game, I think it's boring and well everything I posted earlier. I look at the way they behave on the pitch (at the highest level) and it disgusts me - !!!!!! would anyone want to expose their kids to that filth is beyond me.

I used to be a proper full on fan when I was a kid too, used to know everything about them and watch perhaps half a dozen games a season live and listen to the rest live on radio bedfordshire and had some great fun. Never had a shirt though. Anyway don't wanna go down the Tony Blair/Jackie Milburn line of trying to prove my devotion, cos I'm no longer a devotee I've grown more and more out of love with the game over the years now. I listened on Saturday and was gutted we lost therefore I'm a fan. Just not a particularly devoted one. Good luck to AFC Wimbledon.

Messi's brilliant. Football at its best is brilliant, but the fans are moronic and I refuse to watch a game where players, grown men, roll around pretending (PRETENDING !!!!!!) to cry. I mean do they not realise they have to walk the streets after doing that. Do they not have wife and kids to face up to when they get home. And it's largely hard working lower class people that fund it - morons imo. Why would you want to fund that video below.

Give me a good game of Rugby or Cricket any day.

Lmao, possibly the two most corrupt sports.

Just to make you aware no one in football likes the rolling around but PEOPLE are deceitful. Again with the fans the 'morons' your on about aren't morons because of football theyd be morons without it.

Just like you get morons on this forum and i dont think there all football fans

You're not a football fan. Anyone who claims that egg-chasing is better automatically rules them out of that i'm afraid.

I go to a lot of live football, at all levels, and rarely see examples of the players rolling around and pretending to cry. Well apart from when Lee Bowyer nearly broke Luka Modric's leg that time - I think that's fair enough though.

Only 19,000 turned up for the play off final btw. I'm thinking if you really cared you would have got a ticket - Luton could have done with the cash i'm sure.

if the guy decides to go with another woman what has it got to with anyone else, apart from him, his wife and the Big Brother contestant.

too many people love these car crash stories that get quite boring.

Like Tiger Woods. These guys earn more from sponsorship than they do by using their natural talents. Manufactured image is everything.

Why should they use the legal system to protect that image? Just because they can afford to do so.

And of course the match fixing allegations that have plagued cricket for the last twenty years.

What next? Boxing?
