    This season I've only watched Celtic, a few Champions League games, Scotland, a couple of Premier League matches. Not an overly exciting season overall. Premier League is absolute *.

    I've hardly been bothered to sit and watch a full game this season apart from Celtic games.

    I absolutely loved the World Cup, but the Champions League has gone a bit stale for me, it's like been watching a re run of the past few years.

    I just drift in and out of EPL and Spanish games as well.

    Yip. I only watch Celtic and Scotland tbh. Ireland occasionally.

    Can't be * with anything else. Even a 'tasty' Champions League final doesn't excite me anymore. The game is too predictable. Too many clubs from a few countries has ruined it. Champions League just full of the same clubs every season.

    Watched pretty much every single game i could come over before, but i have lost interest in that. Its only Celtic for me, and the national team games.

    The reason i have lost interest in it is because of all the money involved in football these days, and the corruption from those who run it.

    I have followed HV71 in the Swedish "SHL" hockeyleague for many years, but only started attending their games now. Love hockey. Fantastic atmosphere and beer in the stands etc.

    Dont think i have missed more than 1 Celtic game for the last 5 years though!

    Celtic only for me as well really. Even drift in and out of that at times when it feels like the club is just becoming another soulless entity.

    Nope, loving watching football at the moment, I went through the * off stage a few year ago, didnt watch any football for a couple of months, just totally lost interest in it. A few months away from it and the appetite was soon back.

    Nah, still watch as much as I can. Think this is a very interesting time in football, we're witnessing two of the greats fighting for a league in Spain, the resurgence and dominance in world football of Bayern Munich, Borrusia Dortmund of the last few years... German football in general.

    World Cup there was the best I can remember since 98 when I really fell in love with football.

    The money that was more purely condensed in the Premiership for a decade or so is no longer true, you have the likes of PSG competeting with that as well.

    I watch Celtic games when I can, Been to Scotland - Georgia and Scotland - Ireland games. Went to Falkirk away to Hearts - just for a * up before and after.

    Watch the El Classico but other than that I don't really care much

    I do to an extent.

    Still watch, or try to watch, every Celtic game and Scotland game. I watch the EPL every weekend as well but that's more out of boredom than interest. Even then, half the time the games don't help at all.

    It's too soft, too many divers and too much money now. * me off.
