We’re selling the sole of the game we love it seems to me when each WC tournament comes around.
The game football was created on the backs of the working class man. It was the outlet where these urban fiercely proud, hard grafting people (mines, shipbuilding and like) escaped and put aside for 90 minutes any domestic, money or personal worries.
The rules were simple and both sets of players reflected the challenges their onlookers had in trying to overcome their opponents, (Fairly and on ability).
The greed, corruption and commercialisation that infests the game today effective precludes the very fans that created the game are priced out of attending any match.
Throw in VAR, water breaks (adverts), players that pride themselves in conning referees (cheating) and finally that the game has become an almost contactless sport!
Heck I didn’t mean to rant on so much.🧐
I will attempt to follow Scotland without the hysteria that engulf our people at these times and hope they save face (don’t get gubbed). When I can’t watch the bbc I will avoid the commercial stations pre-match 3 hour build up, the 30 min half time and water break bookie and Christmas adverts.
Finally - Hope every fan manages to avoid ICE agents and gets back home alive and safe.
