What was the last thing you saw at a football match (Charlton or otherwise) that made you think of that phrase? It could be:

  • Half and half scarves
  • Silly kick off times
  • Another VAR blunder
  • FIFA shenanigans
  • etc etc….

    Club could make some money by selling wellies or waders in the club shop.

    Reminds me of that defeat at Stevenage away, back in the 2011/2012 season.

    multiple occasions in most games. I don’t think it’s gone, it’s just very different.

    Watch Match of the Day and then watch a rerun of The Big Match from the 70s or 80s.

    the pitches are the same size and shape, and the balls are round, but after that it’s a very different sport, much like the 70s we’re very different to the 30s, and the terraces would have been full of blokes saying “the games gone”.

    As I’m a couple of years beyond middle age, I’m now entitled to say “the games gone”.

    last time was the Fireworks and light show before Chelsea. Games gone mate.

    They call it progress but I don't remember the old primitive urinals of the fifties swimming in p-ss.

    This.

    We were playing Chelsea in the 3rd round of the FA Cup. Nothing new in either. We've played Chelsea countless of times, in the Prem, Division 1 and Division 2. We weren't playing Real Madrid for the first time in the Champions League.

    Grrrrrr.

    And when it takes 5 mins to judge whether Saka's boot is a millimetre offside.  If it's not "clear & obvious" one way or other then play on.

    100% agree with this - also when substitutes aren't ready to get on the pitch straight away and take ages finding their shin pads, top, boob tube and all the rest of the bollox - should be wearing the lot from the off. What is that all about?

    Remember it well, as I had my leg in plaster and went to the loo at HT, saw the state of the toilets and didn't fancy wading through them and having a piss soaked plaster of paris hanging around my leg. Almost broke my neck waiting until after the game and heading to a local pub.

    Football is pretty boring now that tbh. Outside of your own teams achievements, general excitement only really comes from late in game events. 

    Individual creativity has been coached out the game for reliability, routine and play restriction. It’s pretty much dictated now by who has the best / worst ‘press’.

    The keeper tactically going down "injured" to allow for a time out and a team talk, and the ref just letting it happen. Its utter nonsense.

    Haha...I remember trying to go to the toilets after the game. It was overflowing out the door! People were still braving it though! I managed to have a piss by one of the many roundabouts on the way back to "civilisation" lol

    all these podcasts that click farm by winding people up and spouting nonsense that will gain a massive reaction.

    Everton played their third round FA Cup tie in their brand new, made just for the FA Cup black 4th kit. They were playing at home. At least they were dumped out of the cup as karmic punishment

    Silly twat supporters over celebrating a goal. Might be going one nil up after 5 minutes, and stupid little dicks are bouncing around like we’ve won the league.

    I think the game went soft when standardised pitches and markings were enforced.

    Tottenham Hotspur v Sheffield United Match Action Image 1 FA Cup Final


    In the USA, Major League Baseball seems to cope with 'idiosyncratic' stadia.


    wonky football pitch







    What's wrong with a bit of home advantage?

    When they abolished the maximum footballers' wage in 1961. £100 a week for Johnny Haynes? The game's gone mate.

    Football hasn't been the same since it was played like this.

    You would think it would be a prerequisite for a professional footballer in the top 4 division to be able to control a football and make at least short passes but many players are now judged on how good they are at closing down in the press ! Obviously part of the game but what about skilled footballers on the ball like Rob Apter 😤

    The 'Games gone' when in the 85th minute a sub is about to enter play but not before an analyst has shown the sub pages of data for about 5 minutes before he goes on !

    Are players being over coached 🤔
