You watch football on the TV?

BTW This season has already started even for those in the 2012-13 time frame.

The CL and Europa cups are under way and the olympics are just days away. Spain and Brazil have teams to really look out for.

Although nothing beats the LOI.

Getting serious withdrawals myself mate. The Euros were very good but there's nothing like club football and I'm not too bothered with the Olympics.

A usual weekend for me goes something like this - watch the early kick-off on Saturday, then watch Sunderland at 3pm, and the ESPN game at 5:30pm. Match of the Day that night. Quite often go for a few pints on Sunday watching the two games they generally show as part of their 'Super Sunday' coverage.

Of course after a long day on Monday nursing a hangover the excellent Monday night coverage with Gary Neville is on and once September comes we'll have Champions League on Tuesday and Wednesday.

Around 7 or 8 live games a week. I can't wait

the Olympics will be great to watch
i'm sick of the **** Gaa on tv though & the cricket on sky

League of Ireland...CL/EL Qualifiers...Olympic Football...Brasileiro...J-League...Pre-Season Friendlies.

Nope, I'm fine.

There's plenty on to watch all year round...You just have to be willing to give it a go, and not care if you can't understand the commentary language

Football manger is great game to pass time. The amount of crap that gets posted here during the summer is unbearable and other than the odd realisted transfer rumour, I avoid most.
Sooner its back the better for fans and the forum.

since rovers moved , rarely go to see them - not a great one for international footbal - miss the odd bet, find the sunday papers a tad boring , without the checkup on tables, reports etc - last season was tops for English football - didnt think i'd miss it so much - sad I know

I for one am enjoying not being bombarded from every angle with idiots in the media going on about English football. Its really nothing special.

Saturdays are boring without EPL and mostly la liga

I'm glad of the break, the Euros had me sick of football and wanting some time off though I've still kept up with LoI and MLS to get a mini-fix.

EPL - meh.

The benefit of the LoI is, I have Tolka Park round the corner, I just walk a few minutes down the road and am able to enjoy a pint for 3.80

Seriously, the LoI needs some more attention when it comes to attendances, imo.

I miss fantasy football and Ronaldo. You can't substitute Ronaldo bombing one in from 30 yards before he goads the crowd by pointing to his immaculately toned thighs.

Hooked after one game? Excellent!

Let me get this straight - what you miss about English football is having a fantasy in which you get off on the sight of another man's 'immaculately toned' thighs?

Very democratic sport, football, I've always said.

What does LOI have to do with EPL?

He said he misses EPL football.

The poor chap is in distress - he's having withdrawal symptoms, fits of yearning and longing, a raging emptiness at the core of his being because of the absence of football - who could read this and not respond with the obvious solution to his ills - a football league in his own country?

But he, like many others, do not support the LOI. I am a season ticket holder of an LOI club, yet I miss the EPL. Saturday and Sunday afternoons are almost intolerable in the weather is poor and sky news is filled with cricket, cycling, and them patting themselves on the back for their initiatives .

Maybe read the first post again. OP misses match of the day, the EPL score updates etc on his TV every Saturday.

LOI is not going to replace that.
