FOOTBALL!!!!

[twiddlingthumbs69]

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!

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

In an age of streaming and endless options available to you at all times it’s just not really reasonable to moan about what’s broadcast on a handful of channels.
There are plenty of other options available to you.

"Every channel"? Where are you, 1962?

There are scores and scores of channels not showing football. You're being ridiculous.

Agree with first response. This argument made lots of sense twenty years ago.

It’s not on every channel though is it?

Thanks, I hadn’t thought of that! 👁️

There's about another 100 odd tv channels to choose from - even if you have fairly basic Freeview.
Just change the channel.

I know, right! Honestly, you'd think they were having some sort of competition wouldn't you?

It isn't on every channel. Pipe down and stop making things up for attention.

Thank god you thought to whinge on the internet though.

@Honeyhonay I know, right!

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 .

Of course it isn't.

It's not on every channel though?

It'll be Wimbledon 'messing up' the TV schedule soon enough but that won't be on every channel either.

YABU

I LOVE the Football ⚽
Come on England 😁

YABU because it’s very popular- most people do like it, men, women or children - and it’s only in a couple of the millions of channels that exist anyway.

It needs to be on the free channels to make it accessible to all - this is really important because it’s traditionally a working class game and everyone should be able to enjoy it.

Most of the games are on in the middle of the night anyway!

Exactly. Because it’s also popular.

People like sport. People like lots of other things like Strictly Come Dancing or the Traitors too, and they’re also on at times in the year.

Thought of what? You have to use the quote option if you want to actually engage with anyone and make any sense.

YABU. I have zero interest in football but I find very easy to ignore. It's not the 80s anymore. You have many options.

I just checked.
Freeview has approximately 280 channels (some do double up because they are +1 channels).
TWO are showing football.

Well done on filling your bingo card about football hate in your OP.

YAB utterly unreasonable, but you already knew that.

I have never seen a World Cup so extensively advertised on TV. Am amazed so many people have gone to watch it in person too.

Huh? It's occasionally on 2 channels out of a gazillion. Also, it's the World Cup and everybody loves it.

It’s only on BBC1 and ITV1 and it’s every 4 years. I can’t stand tennis but don’t moan about Wimbledon, which is most of the day every day for 2 weeks.

There are literally hundreds of other channels.

Same 😁

You could always switch channels and watch the cricket Op.

@twiddlingthumbs69 channel 52 on Freeview is showing Hallmark Christmas Movies......🎄
