I have said before that I am less interested in football than I used to be but I have never yet unleashed my bile on any webpage or forum. The financial status of several clubs, ridiculous wages for players who are bang average, the same clubs winning all the trophies each year, and fans being mugged off are all things which grip my sh!t. However for one QPR fan it all became too much and he had to let rip, and here is the now famous QPR fan rant in all its glory!!!!!:PDT_Xtremez_19:

I take more pleasure in seeing Chelsea lose than I do in seeing QPR win
at the moment.

I sat through so many matches when we were absolute dogs**t under the
likes of Ray Harford and with people like Paul Bruce, Matthew Brazier
and Mark Perry in the squad and I never felt like this.

The club isn't ours anymore but more so than that - football is just
properly gash these days.

I mean really gash.

football generally.

I hate nearly everything about it these days....

I hate the Prem and the myth that it is exciting this year. Man City
breaking into the top four isn't exciting. They spent loads of money.
It's no more exciting that Nameless C*** getting to number 1 in the
charts after winning the X-Factor.

I hate the myth of Arsene's kids. Buying some French kid when he's 17,
playing him in the League Cup and then selling him when he's 20 after
about 3 appearances in the league is NOTHING SPECIAL.

I hate hearing about Liverpool/Man Utd's debt but nothing ever happening
about it. A club needs to go to the wall for the money thing to change
but it doesn't happen. Why the **** are Charlton, Leeds and Southampton
still in business?

I hate Frank Lampard's stupid f'ing face. I hate that Joe Cole's tongue
is never in his mouth, the downsy spacker. I hate John Terry being
England captain when he's CLEARLY AN OAF.

I hate the England team.

I hate young exciting wingers who have nothing but pace. Tony Scully had
nothing but pace.

I hate the FA Cup. There may be little shocks like last night but for
the most part you know who's going to win it. Unless a team throws away
all their financial security to win it a la Pompey.

I hate Harry f'ing Redknapp. And Jamie Redknapp. And Louise Redknapp.
And the Wii.

I hate James Nesbitt, Eammon Holmes and f***ing everyone.

I hate Gary Lineker and Alan Shearer.

I hate Garth Crooks.

I hate Garth Brooks for that matter.

I hate Sky Sports.

I hate that when a lower league player beats 10 players and chips the
keeper it doesn't matter but if Rooney scores from more than 20 yards
it's amazing.

I hate that everything football related has to have 'Club Foot' playing
behind it.

I hate that female sports journos are now mandatory.

I hate Mark Lawrensen for not coming out. 'I do like a big man at the
back'. I bet you do.

I hate any advert that portrays football to be about anything other than
pain and disappointment.

I hate any advert that mentions pies at football.

I hate Lee Hughes and the fact that he makes a living from the game. I
hate Marlon King and any team that signs him when he gets out. I hate
that it'll probably be us.

I hate Phil Brown.

I hate 'well the ball is a lot lighter now and will cause goalkeepers
real problems this summer' before EVERY F'ING TOURNAMENT.

I hate that Kieron Dyer earned more in the time I took to write this
post than I'll earn this month.

I hate Adrian Durham, Ian Wright and Alan Brazil.

I hate Gazza. Either die or shut up. Stop f'ing lingering.

I hate hearing about Hillsborough more than I hear about Heysel or
Bradford.

I hate that a comeback from 4-0 down at half time (TWICE) means nothing
because we aren't f'ing scouse.

I hate Leeds.

I hate Roy Keane.

I hate grown men wearing football shirts of their team whilst shopping
on a saturday when their team is playing at home.

I hate that I don't hate Roy Hodgson.

I hate Jermaine Beckford and any player who has neck tattoos.

I hate songs being inappropriately taken as club anthems and then sung
in a manly way. 'I'm forever blowing bubbles....'. Gaylords.

I hate Danny Dyer and anyone he's ever interviewed.

I hate the book 'Cass' by Cass Pennant. It is honestly the stupidest
thing I've ever read. Chapter 1: Millwall. 'Yeah we took 50 to Millwall.
They had 1000 in their mob but we ran 'em up and down the street'.
Chapter 2: Liverpool. 'Yeah we took 50 to Liverpool. They had 2000 in
their mob but we ran 'em up and down the street'. Fk me... Jade Goody's
autobiography is probably better. Even her non-ghost written one.

I hate that all good youngsters end their careers at Spurs before they start
 
This is the rant that I have wanted to write for some months but could never be arsed.

I too am becoming more and more disillusioned with the "beautiful game" and am these days finding more and more pleasure in returning to the sports I was brought up on, namely cricket and rugby union.

I love football, I must say. I love the pure game, the Corinthian idealistic, passing, ball on the floor game played a team wearing red by the side of the Trent since 1865 which reached it's ultimate expression under Brian Clough and Peter Taylor in the late 1970's and early 1980's.

But that game isn't there anymore. I'm getting tired of going to games and seeing total lack of sportsmanship. In fact let's be honest, let's call it what it is - 95% of professional footballers are cheats.

I don't like the lack of respect for the referee and his linesmen. I don't like lack of respect for opponents. I don't like substituted players taking forever and a day to clear the pitch - why can they not leave by the shortest possible route? I don't like hearing 25 000+ people who have never picked up a copy of the Laws in their lives abusing the referee for incompetence. I don't like that if I go to a game with my buddies who support the opposition I can't sit with them. I don't like diving. I don't like the glares I get when I say that a shot on goal by the opposition was pretty damn spectacular, or a save almost superhuman. In short, in its 21st century incarnation, I just don't bloody like football.

I've no interest in the Premiership. At all. And not because Forest aren't there - we may well be next season but will I bother? When I know that in all probability the club will face instant relegation? What sort of a sport is that? Football isn't sport anymore and hasn't been for well over a decade. Skill, ability, tenacity, guile - the importance of these attributes pale into insignificance against how much money your club has to spend.

Forest got promoted in 3rd place from the old 2nd Division and then the next season won the League. Could anybody envisage a club doing that today? The game is the poorer for it, in my opinion.

I nearly didn't bother this season. Last season was so depressing that I nearly took out a season ticket for Leicester Tigers instead. But I gave it one more go and to be fair I have been superbly entertained all season. And yet, and yet.......there is someting missing. I just don't get the same thrill as I used to.

I can't even be arsed to hate Derby County anymore!

I'll stop rambling now, but this has been so cathartic. Come on, theladf and I can't be the only ones. Who else out there is
bloody fed up with football!
 
Got to say I never agree with a Florist fan but Tricky mate you've hit it on the head there.
 
Yep, me too and have been for some considerable time.
Too much money. Too many divas. Not enough respect in the game, full stop! Where's the link between the surrounding area and the heart of the club nowadays? Some very, very valid points there between you two, it's only a matter of time before it all collapses in on itself.

About 10 years ago a Canadian business man, with scottish roots, had 10 million quid lying around doing nothing so he donated it to Glasgow Rangers FC. Asked why he had chosen Rangers his reason was "...so that it would benefit scottish football"! How on earth did it benefit scottish football???

However Rochdale AFC, my home town club, are on the verge of moving up a division, which is only their second promotion since 1907, so things are kinda looking up... even though they'll be back down again the season after (probably, sadly) :PDT_Xtremez_21:
 
Quality rants there guys and I do sympathise. There's too much money in the game nowadays, end of. All I think of is a pitch with 22 millionaires on it (I have a similar thought when I see any MP, man of the people my @rse, millionaire, but that's another rant), with 22 egos to match. I couldn't be a referee though because I'd be dishing out red cards like confetti, the cheating cnuts, until the match was abandoned due to lack of players.:PDT_Xtremez_09:

That's twice in a week I've caught you agreeing with a Forest fan GEM, to say I'm disappointed would be an understatement!

sit with me next Saturday, I'll guarantee you won't be disappointed. I'm getting to Pride Park 4 hours before kick off so I can meet and greet everyone of the inbred bast@rds with a typically warm Derby County welcome

If I'm totally truthful, I probably gave up on it back in the 90's. Maradonna was the last straw for me. That little ****** should have recieved a lifetime ban and Argentina should have been stripped of the cup. :PDT_Xtremez_25:

I might be in the minority here, but I was a little sympathetic with Beckham when he got sent off for lashing out when he was lying on the floor. He shouldn't have done it, but the other player clearly made a meal of it !

I think players that dive and/or act it up to get someone sent off should have massive fines AND suspensions.

IMHO Maradonna and Ronaldo are just two of the many that should have recieved lifetime bans for cheating.

...and then your team will meekly roll over in the face of the mighty Reds like they always fcuking do. 2-0. You're going down with the Posh. Pass Billy the Brian Clough Trophy, we're going home. Ta-ta, sheep-shaggers!

Robbie Earnshaw is a Red, he hates Derby!!!

I lied earlier, ha ha, I'll hate Direby until I fcuking well die!
 
I know TV pays the piper, but sometimes when it calls the fcuking tune it could be less crass about it. Kick-off times are all over the shop, this season we've had 12:45 Saturday for Sky, 3 Saturday (rare), 5:15 Saturday for the BBC, 5:30 Saturday for ESPN, 2pm Sunday for nobody in particular, 4pm Sunday for Sky, 8pm Monday for ESPN and fcukin god knows what other times midweek.
Last season the gurus at Setanta got their dividers out to work out who had the longest away journey in the PL. As a result they scheduled Portsmouth to play Newcastle on a Monday night, a round trip of nearly 700 miles for the Portsmouth! This season ESPN have decided to send them up to Liverpool on a Monday night, a snip at 500 miles! Never mind the fact that they'll have to go to work the next day and wont get back home until 3 or 4 in the morning, as long as TV gets its own way.


BTW, 0/10 for being boringly predictable and pointing out how far some of our fans travel for home games :PDT_Xtremez_14:
 
Recently

Recently

SKY bought out the German company "Premiere" The adverts are everywhere promoting SKY TV over here regarding movies and live Bundesliga games. However, now the locals have had a taste of SKY, the complaints are starting to trickle through, such as, already mentioned in the previous entry, the start times of games + the fixtures list and how it seems Bayern have to travel to Hamburg or upto the RuhrPott teams during the midweek.

I did mention this to some of the guys who I work alongside that this would probably be the case lo and behold!!

And breathe!

Remind me again who are you?

Nottingham,

A city renown for living off it's criminal past, it's greatest hero Robin Hood, some gay fcuker who romped around the woods in green tights stealing from hard working folk to give it to the dole scroungers who these days would spend it on Class A's or illegal guns in the City which is now the crime and drug capital of the UK.

No wonder you clowns sing Mull of Kintyre before the match, you've mistaken all the gunsmoke for the mist rolling in from the Glorious Derbyshire Peaks.

Robbie Earnshaw

A short fat ugly bast@rd
His mother's a whore

Sheepshag Army!!!!!!!!!!!

Are you going Saturday?

Afraid not mate, only done one away game this season, that was Sheff Wed and I don't think I'll be doing any others. Fcuking football's not cheap! (Actually I should have added that to my earlier rant, too)

Hillsborough is a sh1t tip too, no fun going there.

I've only been to about 5 away this year, as you say not cheap.

I'm not a fan of 1 oclock kick offs but I'll force myself to go Saturday, I don't hold out much hope though the way you lot are playing.
