    I watch plenty of football but, I've been quite bored with the LOI season finished. I'm quite * off at how football has changed. It's no longer for the working class and kids will grow up thinking it's a big TV show because families have been priced out of going. You can't beat being at a match!

    No. The World Cup was absolutely incredible and was a massive shot in the arm to football in general IMO.

    We are also a very lucky generation to have Messi and Ronaldo strutting their stuff at their peak and driving one another on.

    It seems to be just now there is quality matches on week in and week out in the Premiership, La Liga, Bundesliga and even on the International stage now Scotland are actually decent.

    I've actually recently started watching more foreign games towards the end of last season and this season,- Mainly Serie A, bundesliga, La Liga and a small bit of the Belgian league.
    Good to see different types of styles and tactics played in those countries, a lot of people call Italian football boring and it can be at times but its interesting to watch the teams try to figure each other out, the play acting and stuff would drive you mad though.

    I'll watch any Champions League game I can and watched probably 85% of the games at the World Cup which was probably my favourite ever as a neutral. Only watch certain teams in the EPL, Southampton and Everton at the moment.

    The Scotland V Ireland game was one of the best I recall in years, it was like old style football. * just running about punting the ball, clattering into each other and trying to win. Would be good to see more of that but its never going to happen, especially with big teams who dont have unskilled enough players to end up with games like that.

    I can't afford to watch the games anymore but watch the Celtic games on TV/internet. I love the World Cup and watch most of the games when that's on always have always will. I watch the odd non-Celtic game, but these days it's quite rare for me to be interested even for Champions League final I don't bother with it. I might watch the Barca vs Madrid games this season though.

    I feel the same way but think it might be a "as your getting older" thing. The money side and lack of a soul in the game comes into your thinking then.

    My lad is 12 and obsessed with football from all leagues and countries; doesn't get it that I only watch Celtic and cant be arsed with anyone else.

    I've fell out of love with it, for a few years now I've only been interested in watching Celtic games....I'very lost interest in watching us now....I'll check how we're doing during the game but rarely sit and watch a match now.

    I certainly dont watch as much as I used to.

    I can never sit and watch a full English prem game right through, bores me half the time. Such an incredibly overated league and it infuriates me to see teams like Hull * city spending alot more money than us.

    Only time I feel right into a game is when the leather belts are playing, for obvious reasons.
