[QUOTE="Vambo, post: 194334"] Used to follow football... mainly Burnley FC and also had a soft spot for Man Utd. I wouldn't say I 'grew' out of it but I just felt that the game was no longer a representation of what I wanted to see on the field... the diving (not just the foriegners eh Gerrard?) really started to wind me up. I can still vividly remember travelling to Ninian Park home of Cardiff to watch Burnley play and near the end of the game a large number of Cardiff fans left the game early and then started throwing housebricks over the wall at the Burnley fans. It all ended with the entire Burnley end spilling onto the pitch and then being kept in the ground for ages whilst the police 'allegedly' cleared the streets of the Cardiff fans. Upon being let out of the ground we were greeted with pockets of Cardiff fans intent on trouble and most of the cars and coaches vandalised. That was the last time I went to an away match and I don't think I went to all that many home matches from that point on neither. I can't actually remember the last time I watched a game of football either in the flesh or on the tv. [/QUOTE]
