Ruffty, Tuffty, Footballers.

Outline: Paid less money, I can't remember the likes of Law, Greaves, Todd, Best or even West Ham's great Clyde Best, whining like they do now.
Where there were footballers, rugged, not wet.
Now there are dancers, always upset.
You shouldn't boo them, you shouldn't jeer.
You should shout bravo! and give them a cheer.
The paying public, no longer allowed.
To chant, or support, or shout out aloud
At footballers, who, may bicker and bitch,
Posing and rolling all over the pitch.
So tone it down. They have feelings, so deep.
They're not paid enough, they're losing on sleep.
"Not playing anymore, they called me a name".
Footballing rich, just get on with the game.

Hi Mr G
Like you I remember the days when playing the game was more important than being rich or famous. I even used to stand and watch. Very Happy

I like the way you use wit to make your points. Keep writing...

Cheers Mrs Penguin- I hate the whole media madness surrounding these super rich kickers. Obscene. In the seventies you would try and intimidate the opposition by shouting and booing. The difference is that those players would let the football do the talking.
Cheers Carrieann- Childish and mardy. We are being told that the booing, chanting crowds are in the wrong because children will be influenced by them. As far as I can see, what is passed now as gamesmanship by these overpayed, lazy, footballers is more of a bad influence.
Cheers Philip.

Ian
