Love football, hate footballers

Tweet

I have loved football ever since I was a small boy, All I wanted to be when I grew up was a professional footballer, unfortunatly I wasn't good enough. I still play at amateur level and I watch Huddersfield Town. But what is starting to annoy me about football is the modern day players. Im fed up with the way they fking themselves to the ground when they are slightly touched, sometimes I see this when a player is being harrased by a defender and the player hasn't got a trick to beat the defender so he just goes down like a sack of potatoes. This dissapoints me, you never saw players like Georgie Best do this. Other things that bother me is that they take no responsibility if they lose, they always try to blame the officials instead of themselves. I don't footballers relise how privileged they are to play the beautiful game for a living and I think they are slowly killing the game we love. It is no longer the game for the working class, and many poor families are being priced out of watching the team they support( I know this is not footballers fault but i thought i would mention it anyway). I wonder what football will be like in 15 years.
