oh for the old days- pre 1980

[saintbrat]

When Football supporters vented to the cat , the dog and the kids and maybe even the partner

and by Friday night rational thoughts and theories had resurface

before expanding the field to the local on a Friday night-- before it began all over again on Saturday..

Now we hear and read all the options for whys and wherefores before the sun has set or the siren has sounded the second time.

Well gone is the idea of don't say it if you wouldn't want it said about or to you or yours.
Gone is any form of self editing....

The need to be first has well superseded the requirement of being right or having some fact behind the theory.

Roll on irrational discussion.

At times, Bratty, I do believe folk forget that it's a GAME! Just a game! (I sometimes forget it myself )
