Frustrating Football

Why is it in the world of football, you are never happy with what you have? ok let me clarify. You win by 6-0, but deep down you wish it would have been 7 goals, or that you had created more chances. Ok you scrape a 1-0 win, again you wish for more goals. You don't care you have got 3 points and a clean sheet, you just wanted goals. Now, when you get a draw. Why do we always look at the negatives. Also we always ask the same questions. Why didn't we win? Why didn't we create more chances? Why am i not happy with gaining a point when last year you would have probably lost? Either way, your never happy. I would mention a loss, but don't you notice that when we lose, we always take the "positives" out of the game. What the hell? you look at negatives when we win, look at them when we draw, but we always look at positives when we lose 10-0 and only positive is that least the game is only on for 90 minutes. What is the footballing world comming too? Football, is probably the most frustrating games around. I sometimes feel sorry for the referess, because they do take blame for alot. Like, when a game has been that boring you fell asleep after the first 10 minutes. We always say, "the ref should have given a penalty". A penalty for what, the teams didn't even get into the oppositions half, and the best is when a player is looking for a penalty. "That should have been a penalty, in fell in the box", yeah, when the nearest person to him was the steward. Don't get me wrong, referees can sometimes have no clue about the game, but they do take alot of stick from us fans.

Ahhh the fans. Now this does make me chuckle. I know when i'm talking to fellow reds i'm always calling my team. "Gerrard shouldn't be captain", "Does Rafa know what he's doing", all that rubbish. But the minute that evil man in the Chelsea shirt comes over and starts joining in with the slagging of liverpool, us kopites all give him the dreaded "how dare he" eyes. Come on, we've all done it, the eyes that could kill, true footballing evils. It's like my family. I can call my family every name under the sun, but noone else can, and thats the same with liverpool. Fellow reds can call us, but noone else can, and i get feeling thats the same with alot of fans. Oh and another thing i love. How come, after a game, we all believe we could manage the team alot better. That if we was the "gaffa", we would have won the league, champions league, FA Cup, you name it, in my dreams i've won it. Also, we are so hypocritical. One week, this player is the worst player to grace for pitch. After the hat trick he scores on the saturday, he's bleeding better than Ronaldinho, and your walking around with his name on your shirt.

But throughout all the whining, the moaning, the tantrums and tiaras, can anyone honestly say they will never do it again? It's these little quirks we have that make us football fans so great. Thats why football is probably the most supported, passionate and loved game around, and even though through the years, money as ruined aspects, the fan bases are still alive and kicking. So yeah, even though at times i hate football, i would never change it for the world.
