The Footie Thread

I find it very strange men in anoraks sit on railway platforms copying down train I.D. numbers, but it’s their choice.

Do you think they brag about it on a forum?

I can confirm they do! Mrs M Stepdad is a train geek and they have several forums he posts on and meet ups to watch specific trains. Also has the same for Remote Controlled trucks where they have a forum he runs and set up little model villages to drive them round in. Very Weird people

I find it really bizarre that so called football fans are saying they aren't going to be watching the World Cup because of a certain individual. He will not be shown at the vast majority of the games, won't even be mentioned. Strange behaviour.

Normally by now in a WC year there is a buzz and excitement about what’s ahead, apart from maybe the opening ceremony and the final the head of state is rarely seen and even less heard of.

There are 3 Countries hosting this tournament and all we’ve heard about is him and his involvement in the WC.

FIFA Peace Prize, delaying giving the money to host cities in democrat areas, Iran pulling out, other countries still not knowing if their teams or fans will be given visas.

It’s England’s last warm up match tonight before the tournament, were’s the buzz?

That is not purely down to Trump - if it was then there wouldn't be the build up to the Masters that there is on here.

What’s the forum on here got to do with it?

It’s a Golf Forum, so the vast majority are interested in golf, possibly a max of 20-25 people post in the footie thread.

3-4 people have said they have no interest in this years WC and have given their reasons!

You have decided they are “bragging” about it!

How about you show us the posts were people on the footie thread are talking positively about the WC or tonights game.

It’s irelevant whether you agree or disagree with us/them and our reasons

Very chill thanks, I’m purely responding to your posts and words.

Don't forget that Fifa gave him that nonsense 'peace prize' so he is inexorably linked to the event now.

Only if you think it is a valid prize. It is a nothing prize so, in my view, nothing to do with football or the WC.

There is no doubt that if the orange dictator is still in power he will make sure he is front and center of the world cup

But he can be easily avoided

What? That makes it even worse. They literally made up a nonsense award just so they could get him involved with no justification.

It's still months away and the focus is on the end of the domestic season. No one has ever got into a frenzy about a WC in March.

Did you not see the way both FIFA and Trump acted about the award ?

I did, but I have put it out of my mind and not let it bother me since. Unlike some on here, I can ignore him and concentrate on the football and not buy into the circus. By getting all mad about the trophy is giving Trump the attention he craves and people are playing right into his hands.
