Cancer

You bought a jersey to support the team you proudly say you root for.

You know every players on the pitch by some computer game you play everyday - because of that, those on the substitutes and reserves too.

You have enough stamina to catch live football telecasts and you know every details of the match you watched.

You know every happenings in the world of football by rambling through football news portal and live news.

You now call yourself a 'football fan'.

Your team win and you brag like you know it. You belittle in any way possible the opposition team. You try to humiliate the supporters with all dexterity.

You start to feel that no one can ever touch you for you are the new Earl of football world.

Your team lose and you start to take the Lord's name in vain. You are so naive that you scoff at opposition's brilliance and despise their flair.

You blame the man with whistle and you make a mockery out of the men with flags.

You blatantly inflict hatred towards opposition team's fans and loyal supporters. In all folly, you feel you are doing the right thing for your team.

You are the demonic reason why football is not held aloft as a game of gentlemen.

Football is not just about winning, mind you, for winning does not make you a better player, and losing does not move you down the esteem.

It is how you play it that makes all the difference.

I hate it when you think football is just a sport you have to love because everyone loves it. The game doesn't need people like you to make it all merrier.

Please, I mean please, understand the game before you try to love it.

Whistle blown. This is just an end to just another 90 minutes, not the lesson.

wah.
ibarat penjelasan penghitaman rambut dalam sanskrit pulak.

patutlah orang ramai sayang TV.
mereka dapat lihat apa yang mereka mahu lihat.

kalau tidak, mereka akan cakap seperti begini;

'penat aku beli TV definisi tinggi-tinggi, takkan la nak aku buat tak puas hati?'

eh, dah macam buat satu post baru kat sini pulak. sori.

One moniker for people like this: fooligans.

Oh, and the atrocities don't only happen in the football (or bak kata mat salleh Amerika, soccer) arena.

After the last Super Bowl in Pittsburgh, my friends posted pictures of vandalism yang berleluasa di jalan raya. Tiang lampu diorang sengetkan, kereta orang diorang pecahkan. Ini menang, bukannya tak menang!

Beer cans merata-rata tak payah cakap lah. Nasib orang Malaysia buang wrapper Ramly Burger, tak busuk sangat. Hahaha. Adoilah.

Word.
I know nothing about football.
or if Nj says it,
'I know peanuts when it comes to football'.
But if it wasn't for people I know who really appreciate football, I'd already say what a bunch of SORE losers. My dad was a goalkeeper himself way back then for some club, and I remember how I used to watch him play, I was young, and I understood nothing. What I knew was, if he didn't catch the ball, I'm not suppose to shout 'hooray'.

But something like this happened, and that became the very reason why I stopped coming to his games to watch him play, why I never really got to know much more about football. All I knew was when you lose the game, people get mad, dissatisfied and things just starts flying around.
