I'm Gareth, just joined the forum after many years subscribing to WS. I'm 37, another Liverpool fan, by family tradition rather than birth as I'm from Cardiff. Which means I can take pleasure in England's hilarious attempts at impersonating a national team, particularly as it draws attention away from the fact that my own nation is currently below Cyprus in our group!
I used to play local league in and around Leicester until I moved up to Saddleworth 3 years ago. I get to a few Reds games a year plus a smattering of Huddersfield, Oldham, Reds reserves games, etc. I played a footie PBM game for years and was a regular on their forum until I got tired of the constant bickering and inane debate. So this forum is a refreshing change! The PBM game got me interested in wider European football, particularly looking out for stars of the future.
Although occasionally I get sick of the antics of modern players I don't think I'll ever lose my love for the game, mainly because it's such a simple game that I can't see how it can ever change fundamentally. So much can still be achieved by the genius of one manager or one player, and that is eternal.
Actually the thing that annoys me most about modern footie is the media coverage. Wherever you look, from the so-called quality press who are calling for McLaren to be sacked after 5 qualifiers, to the fansites that deliberately spread lies about their rivals, to the subtle bias of Sky's coverage, it's all pretty unpleasant.
