Reformation in Football

[Redemption]

I started this thread originally in a fit of pique over a now forgotten issue. It descended into silliness, not least by me, quite quickly.

But I do think that at some point fans will have to think about what kind of football they want to see and will fight for.

As I've written elsewhere on the forum, the independent regulator is ostensibly about the football culture in a very limited sense: does my town have a club, can we defend the shirt colours and logo from modernisation, etc.

But I do think a day of reckoning is needed but I suspect apathy and tribalism will probably prevail and legacy fans will be historic as the price of football focuses on the nouveau fan.

I said many years ago the football industry has been used as an opening for the unscrupulous (agents), the wealthy and the corporates. I still think it will all implode one day but when?

Until then, it looks like we will have to keep on being rogered up the back passage with a barbed wired truncheon.

I got swilled in that very pub about ten years ago, the lass I was with seen it coming as the bloke staggered towards our table, the drinks went west she pushed me towards the deluge and bravely took cover behind me saving herself …..soaked I was, and to top it off I got burnt later that day as the sun was blazing .

But you know, we were happy in those days, but we were poor.

We lived for three months in a rolled up newspaper in a septic tank. We used to hadta get up a'six in the morning, clean da newspaper, eat a crusta stale bread, go to work down the mill, for a 14 hour day, week in week out for 6 pence a month, and when we got home, our dad would thrash us to sleep with his belt.

Yah, you try an tell the young people of today that, and they won't believe you...

Oi, get back here. You haven't cleaned the ice off t'inside of t'winda.

Kids back then. Thought they could go off t'work wi' out doing their chores. What was the world coming to?

Does football need a reformation moment?

If it means we get Marinakis dressed up as Henry VIII, Steve Cooper as Catherine of Aragon and Nuno as Anne Boleyn, I'm all for it
