Ronaldo transfer

[namsag]

After the transfer of Kaka to Real Madrid it was inevitable that Ronaldo would follow .

A brazilian is always followed by an irritating c##t

Why transfer players?

Shouldn't it be about building the talents of people who fit the geographic match of the local team?

Football is an awful business. I wont call it a sport, because, well, its not. Not anymore.

Cricket is still a sport, and its civilised. So is tennis. I'd watch them both happily (while I eat my soft fruit and cream scones), until the day one country buys a player off another.

Football is not a sport.
Its a money making machine for all concerned except the supporters.
Cap the wages down to £1,000 per week for the top players and see how many stay in the game. You could reduce the entrance fee so the ordinary working man could afford to go each week/fortnight and only those with a passion, as in the old days, would take it up as a career.

Give me a school boy game or a Social Club Sunday game any day!
They are sportsmen!

regardless of your personal feelings football is a sport, cricket however shouldnt be classed as a sport as shouldnt darts, plus a few more "sports" that most people hardly do anything all day

football as a pastime of 22 blokes kicking a ball round a field for fun is a sport.
"professional football" is a business.. as much as film making is.. you get the best people for a role, present it in a public forum and charge for the privilege of watching.

same with any televised "sport"..
sport is something that you do for exercise and fun.. it's not sport if your sole purpose for doing it is to make money by providing something for the idiot masses ( me included ) to stare at..

is that the civilised sport that let players go and play for another team in another country for a large paycheck for a few weeks?

perhaps old ticket stubs could be collected to show loyalty to a club and then handed in for free shares?

 

[namsag]

Fek and there was me just telling a joke.

 

[tim west]

hear do you mind we are trying to hold a discussion here!

 

[gassafeman]

I assume this is a conversation based on premiership teams?

The English have 4 divisions, just like we have.

Has anyone looked outside their 'box' and thought about the small teams that provide these players either home or abroad?

I can't stand the guy. He makes by skin crawl and boil simulatneously. My only hope is that he contracts an STD and his meat and two veg fall off.

I played in local teams & thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it until “real life” factors became more important. What we now have is not sport, it’s overrated, over hyped, too expensive & causes too many social problems; it’s also the focal point of far too many “sado’s” social lives, even to the point of their very existence! Modern football is about nothing more than making vast amounts of money for a very privileged few & is no longer a spectator/participator sport for the masses. Much to the disgust of my siblings, I don’t have Sky Sport (I don’t even have Sky!) &, apart from the international games, I never watch football on TV.

Who gives a flying **** about football or even Ronaldo; as good as he is at football, he couldn’t even drive a Ferrari properly which rates much higher in my book.

Cricket opitimises sportsmanship as does rugby. Football too is a sport, though some of the professional players of the game push the boundaries of what is considered sportsmanship.

The fact that some sports inadvertently attract huge commercial interest is of no consequence to the status of the game.

Golf is thought to be played by fair minded 'sporting' folks and therefore attracts huge interest from large wealthy corporate businesses.

It isn't often you see a player calling a foul upon himself, as they do in golf. In fact in association football it is the complete opposite.

Sadly Cristiano Ronaldo is a product of the modern game, to which, anyone one watching him on tele, is subscribing to.
