FOOTBALL!!!!

Not this weeks.

It’s not on every channel , they are showing different matches at different times and there are plenty of other channels to watch . I don’t watch Soaps but I don’t moan about them being on both of the main channels several nights a week .

WDYTYA is on iPlayer. Watch it there. Or on BBC3 or something and let the main channel be for a special, live, one off.

Very upset that WDYTYA was cancelled for it

Put the football on BBC 3 or someting, or 4 or 2, and let the normal programmes continue.

Why is every other programme sacrificed for football?

It’s true, though! That’s why you hear it said a lot.

Bring back 80,s/90's,
4 channels & ceefax!

“It’s just a load of overpaid men kicking a bag of air about blah de blah de blah”

Change the bloody record.

Grown men getting paid millions of pounds to run around after a little ball for 90 minutes and fans (agreed not all) that get all emotional/het up/drunk/aggressive and aren’t happy unless they’ve had a fight over it.
It’s pathetic!! AIBU

YANBU.

I'm so glad my DH feels the same way. I would have no respect for him, otherwise.

Each to their own though.

I love the football. Have grown up with it and we are a football loving family.

I find it barmy that people love line dancing or karaoke but I don't judge those that do. The world would be a boring place if we all loved the same things.

At the end of the day the average game of footy is 90 minutes plus added extra time so hardly like you are spending the whole day indoors glued to the TV anyway. Just the duration of the game itself. Plenty of time to go for a walk, enjoy the weather and admire the views.

I HATE football. It's an awful corrupt sport, that is full of violence, alcohol abuse, associated with an increase in domestic abuse, racism, sexism, homophobia, it's just so horrible and nasty I am astonished so many people think it's ok to support something that perpetuates such a toxic culture.

But I didn't even realise it was the world cup until about 2 days ago when I saw the news about the Scots in Boston (which I think is absolutely wonderful!). I think this demonstrates it's very easy to avoid all things football related and not be affected by the World Cup being on.

The weather is too nice to be stuck inside watching TV. I am far happier sitting in my garden, going for a walk, or swimming in the outdoor pool at the gym.

I don't actually mind it when it's the world cup. The matches are on quite late so it's not ever so helpful, but when England are playing matches earlier in the day, it's the perfect time to go to the outdoor pool, or IKEA, or other places you might prefer to have mostly to yourself, as everyone else is sitting inside staring at their TV screen.

I had to laugh a couple of years ago. It was some sort of international football thing and England had progressed reasonably far and I was on a campsite. It was gorgeous sunshine, with fantastic views of the Malvern Hills and everyone was sitting inside their motorhome/caravan staring at a TV screen. I just find it barmy people would sooner watch TV than enjoy the glorious weather and being in nature.

You wouldn’t respect your husband if he liked a sport?! Ok…

I LOVE the Football ⚽
Come on England 😁

The plots are usually the same too 😂

Why does bloody football need to be on every channel. Why can’t they have a dedicated channel for it instead of messing around with the tv schedules for weeks on end!

Contrary to what the BBC etc would like you to believe, we don’t all love the ‘beautiful’ game, or even like it!

Why do people who don't like football complain about how much the players get paid? They're entertainers who bring in millions for their clubs through advertising, sponsorship, tv deals etc. Why shouldn't the players make the money.

Do you also complain about film stars, other sportspeople etc
