Sky Subscribers who complain about modern football but perpetuate the whole ridiculous premiership-obsessed circus by continuing to hand over their cash to Murdoch so he can keep paying the big clubs to kill the rest of football. It's like giving your money to the IRA and then complaining about the violence.
Hugely this. If you have Sky sports you have no right to complain about 'modern' footballs problems for teams like ours because fundamentally you are the problem.

its worse when they aren't even footballers, the new breed of sky sports generic presenter types..
I'd rather listen to them than the neanderthalic ex pros most pundits tend to be. They can't string a sentence together without using a combination of "top, top", "he is a player", "110%" and "literally"

you forgot the infamous... "at the end of the day"
I miss the old Covered End, when it was standing - proper atmosphere, loads of good songs and we'd all dance to "Knees up Mother Brown" when we scored.
We've lost that. All seems a bit sterile these days.

Too much football news now on regular news.
Utter drivel.
Care to expand? You seriously think the consumer is not responsible for what Sky continues to do? Or are you just not willing to accept the wider effects of your choices (I do realise accepting responsibility for ones owns actions isn't very popular these days)?

You're right, I wholeheartedly apologise for being able to afford the best satellite tv around. I must be a terrible person.

same here. The smell of beer, fags and some real characters. When the opposition bought a lot the atmosphere in the covered end could be electric. Very dull nowadays.

Try to remember what was football coverage like before Sky, lets be honest it was shite, I can watch as many games as I want via Sky and ESPN, I can watch the greatest footballers ever in the comfort of my living room, I try to avoid Man U. But Barcelona. Real Madrid are a different kettle of fish, superb. When I hear or read ridiculous comment such as yours and from other Charlton fans, I often think if they showed us as much as Man U then we would all love Sky!
I dont agree with Sky covering the top 4 most the time, so the options I have are 2, I can sulk about it (the option you have clearly chosen) and not subscribe, or I can pay and enjoy their coverage, I chose the latter and have seen some fantastic games, from The Champions League through to the AFC Wimbledon game 2 weeks ago. Think about how bad football coverage used to be. Teams in the fourth tier of football never got on live TV. EVER!
If you choose to be a stick in the mud, fine, but to say a broadcasting company and its patrons are to blame for all things wrong in football is frankly laughable.
People who constantly moan about modern Football. These are the people who still buy tickets, still watch Sky, still act like pundits themselves in front of their mates and think they know exactly everything that goes on within a footballer's brain.
Hate may be too strong a word ....... but I am uneasy at the financial chasm that's been opening up between the Premier League and the rest of the professional game in England.
And not just because Charlton are no longer in the Prem.
There really has to be a better distribution of the Sky TV money - so that all of football benefits better, right down to grass roots level.
It's not that any club in the Prem would suffer financially.
I remember the Arsenal chants at Old Trafford when we played them on the last day of the season after Arsenal had won the league there in the midweek game a few days before.
Wasn't that Chelsea? I remeber the second to last away of the season up there where we lost 4v0 and Chelsea had won the league. Some idiots started singing cheslea songs, seem to remember a few people got thrown out that day.
The renaming of the divisions and the dropping of all football history beyond 1992. The renaming of Div 1 to The Premiership was 'kin annoying, but the renaming Division 2 first to Division 1 and then to Championship is absolutely crass in its stupidity.
This winds me up too. When Luton beat Norwich on Saturday ITV were saying it was the first time a non league team had ever beaten a premiership side.
Mass racism being seen as harmless banter by fans/clubs/press Being caged in Pass backs to the keeper Football violence Not being able to get a pint at football Boggy pitches Only being able to get news about your club via premium rate lines advertised on Oracle. Uncovered stadia Endless injury breaks Pissing on the terrace Endless FA cup replays European bans

Some people don't understand that football actually existed before 1992.
Hearing about "financial fair play" being introduced by UEFA, and knowing it means absolutely nothing. No way are the behemoth clubs operating massively in the red going to be punished in any way shape or form, we all know that, so why do UEFA even bother? Who do they think they are fooling?
