Don't tell me I'm dreaming

Phil Rothchild waxing lyrical about football.

All we need is Peter Fitzsimons to do the same and I'll believe that football is at last treated seriously by mainstream media. That, and more column inches of course.

I still reckon we need to be less precious about the likes of Rothfield and Fitzsimons - they're trolls, but pretty good natured trolls quite frankly, who enjoys pissing off precious petals who can't abide something offensive like other people not liking the same stuff as them.

 

[MrCelery]

I've never been called a precious petal before. Good one.

 

[dibo]

Wasn't actually calling you a precious petal - you tend to get grumpy but I swear that there are some out there that actually have a little bit of a cry every time Rothfield and Fitzsimons post anything approaching mean about football.

To read Rothfield, don't you have be prepared to read the Telegraph?

That's your 1st mistake.

Meh. I like my entertainment with a smattering of news and "facts", aka the Telegraph.

Read the Telegraph? WTF! This is the 21st Century isn't it? Ever heard of RSS? Mashups? Subscriptions? Google Search?

Rothfield has never said he didn't like soccer (sic); he has two sons who play it. His criticism was the A league wasn't good enough. He may well have been right in the early days but is happy now to give credit where it is due. Go with the flow.
