Why are people keen to give a really strong opinion about something which they know fuck all about?

I saw an interview with a woman in the street earlier in which she was asked her opinion of the England v DR Congo game. Her view was that the England goalkeeper, Jordan Pickford, was “absolute rubbish”. Not just in that game, generally.

Whatever you think about the strengths and weaknesses of his game, he’s clearly not “rubbish” at football. He’s had a 15 year professional career at the top level and has almost 90 caps for England. He did nothing egregiously wrong in the DR Congo game either.

It just seems to be another example of people giving really strong opinions about something they know fuck all about.

AIBU?

Slight divergence from the sports topic op, but seriously, when people start spouting 'medical cures' when they have sweet FA knowledge

"Oh, you just need to eat red meat 100% of the time, it will clear the (serious life limiting disease) right up"

Smile and wave, boys, smile and wave.

Almost proving my above point about right hand knuckle draggers 😂

And yet here we all are

Recognise yourself as a know it all leftie then?

I thought you meant generally. In sports people always have done that.

I find it less problemtaic when it’s said about sports.

...and legal ones, as I've recently discovered. I can't get too worked up about people talking bollocks about football though - ever since a caveman first booted a mammoth's gall bladder there's been people on the sidelines talking absolute ill-informed shite about it, it's basically what football's for.
