It was never about liking football it was about having a day out with your mates and later with my sons , going on the football special having a beer or two , cheering and hoping you would win the game which always made the journey home that much better . There came a time just a season before we were promoted that I realised I didn't like the modern game of all seated stadiums endless sideways and back passing described above and I had been going to matches out of habit . It was time to have a break . So my premier league years with Palace have been without my cherished season ticket , I go when I feel like it when we play on Saturday afternoon but its not for the football on offer but then it hasn't been for a long time spot on. the smell of the evening games..Ohh! However I know its bad, but final game of season, other fans crying when they go down.

Being at the match is a totally different experience from watching on TV. On TV Today's game is often a monumental bore. All the side and back passing, time wasting, diving and general cheating, has killed it for me. I'd rather watch cricket,athletics or even golf. At the match the atmosphere takes you over. Sensible rule changes are needed to revitalise the game. As it is, the misuse of VAR, the offside and handball rules simply spoil the game. The game's administrators are and have been a corrupt bunch of pluck wits, and have been for a long time. Who knows where it goes from here. Well done women's football, please don't copy the men. Crikey, if you think TV golf is less boring than TV football, you've DEFINITELY fallen out with our national game. I must admit to always having liked athletics, although only at the major championships if I'm honest. This dates back to being compelled by the 1968 Olympic Games televised 'Live by satellite' from Mexico City. At my advanced age, it's a good excuse to watch fit young ladies (often 'fit' in both senses of the word) displaying their charms while wearing not very much!

I used to love athletics I didn't watch a single minute of the last Olympics, the widespread drug cheating means you can never know who is clean or not.

I like the down to earth, hard grafting, humble, boy next door players. They do not let the money go to their heads.
