Re: Post-Football

The young man that leapt around his front room in Telford when Platt volleyed the winner against Belguim 25plus years ago didn't even watch the England game tonight he watched the Panthers/Lions NFL game.

We've whored our international for the price of apparently we told the greatest domestic league in the World, the players don't care about the fan - they no longer have any emotional attachment to the team/region that they play for.

FIFA is possibly the most corrupt corporation in the world - how Russia & Qatar have been awarded the World Cups I'll never know... and the corruption just keeps on flowing. We have nobody in the media anymore powerful enough to question the Premier League, the wealth of it and its ignorance of the rest of football is shameful.

My local non-league club - release 'signing on' pictures for their Academy eight and nine years old, now I know that means a lot to the parents but my god it's AFC Telford talk about leading the kids on.

My friends brother in law is an area scout for a major premier league club and has never kicked a ball in his life - but his 14 year old is a top young taleny.

Football's gone - its a pwoper wrong en
