mancunianfox Posted 4 January 2008 Posted 4 January 2008 To counteract the negativity what do you like most about football? Here are some of mine... Away days Diving headers Sliding tackles Last minute goals FA cup 3rd Round World Cup Pies Steve Claridge MOTD theme Old fashioned football grounds Man Utd getting beaten at home Jose Mourinho Supporters who say the same phrase repeatedly Hey Jude before kick off
demon_dog Posted 4 January 2008 Posted 4 January 2008 Having a cool beer, in mid August, the sun beating down, watching overpaid players sweating their b*ll*cks off all in the name of football.
Tommeh Posted 4 January 2008 Posted 4 January 2008 Standing and singing Away days Mad road trips and getting in at ridiculous hours after loosing 3-0 Asking rival fans directions to the ground Alexander Hleb banter with away fans / home fans if away (cus I'm L1 init) Passion and commitment on the pitch meeting rival fans at services Poilce escort to away grounds Paul hendersons goal kicks Patrick kisborbos hooooooooooooofs
TrickyTrev Posted 4 January 2008 Posted 4 January 2008 The possibility and actuality of last minute goals Away Days The ridiculous jargon that nobody truely understands When footballers show this by mixing up their cliches Attacking midfield players Witty fans Every town has their own club Players of different shapes and sizes can make it, even in the same position Outside of the foot passes Summer tournaments Match of The Day Brazillians Bad refereeing decisions Mystery foreign players who could either be the next Younis Kabul or the next Elano 3rd round of the FA Cup Sunday League football World Soccer magazine Socretes Eternal deluded optimism of every fan, even those who mask it in faux pessimism still turn up every week in hope Different playign styles up against each other Slow, weak and lazy players that get away with it because they are that good. The pub Leciester City
MikeyT Posted 4 January 2008 Posted 4 January 2008 It's an obvious one, but the atmosphere created in the stadium when a goal is scored! Awesome!
Koke Posted 4 January 2008 Posted 4 January 2008 Away days Last minute goals 6 pointers Terraces Sliding tackles Diving headers Local derbies Pies Steve Claridge Supporting your local team no matter how crap they are Getting hammered 3-0 away to Plymouth in the pouring rain and yet go back for more the following week Man Utd losing at home FA Cup
Thracian Posted 4 January 2008 Posted 4 January 2008 Fearless football. Top players on top form The unaffected atmosphere of the Reserves matches at Hinckley. Referees who let the game flow. Players who try things. Long range shots, clever passes. One/two touch footballers who pass and move. Chicken Balti pies. Goalkeepers who make their job look simple. Wingers in full flight...a rare sight apart from Ronaldo at United. Barbars and the banter before a match. Real ale pubs on away trips. Winning.

Koke Posted 4 January 2008 Posted 4 January 2008 The excitement of cup draws not knowing that you could possible get a dead boring away trip to Saints or maybe a draw against the dirty bastards just down the road where everybody is up for it.

Simi Posted 4 January 2008 Posted 4 January 2008 Away days. Banter with other sets of fans. Service stops. Last minute goals. Standing and singing. Commitment. Crunching tackles. Rivalry. Match of the Day. Cup football. Walking through turnstiles. Teams coming out. Team goals. Thundering volleys.
