Well every week I read/edit about 40 articles and a larger than ever number of them make reference to the Bundesliga being so great. However the case is put forward using Bayern and Dortmund as the examples, not the mid level sides who are so far of the pace and have been since day one. Or the absolute rubbish that occupies the relegation zone.
Apart from the top clubs, I don't think the standard in the Bundesliga is any better than the other big leagues but that isn't the line being peddled in a lot of media quarters.
I know well there's genuine Bundesliga fans and I have no problem with them, it's the ones who jump on the bandwagon having only ever watched really Dortmund or Bayern that irritate me and it shines through in their writing.
I'm not going against the grain just to be controversial
Don't necessarily agree with some of your comments but fair enough. Me personally, I believe the majority of leagues have something about them, t that something that makes it worth watching. The best league in the world talk doesn't matter all too much to me honestly, even if Sky's best league in the world talk irritates me.
Heads up, I suggest not reading the latest World Soccer Magazine :pac:0 -
Don't think so. It's the atmosphere, that counts. The smell of grass (I mean, the one on the pitch...), fans jumping all over the place, knocking themselves down when your team scores. You won't get than when you are sitting in front of the telly
Agree that all these things are great but that's not what I was claiming was bullsh*t. We were not debating atmosphere etc...
It was in response to the claim that the only way to form correct opinions about the game is to watch it live. This, I feel, is completely not true - in fact quite often when you're at a game you miss something because you don't have the benefit of a replay.
The best way to understand a football match would be probably to go to the game live and then watch detailed highlights of the same game after.
However, it is far from the only way to understand the game, and people watching it on the box are more than capable of making shrewd insights, correct judgements and interesting detailed analyses.0 -

I used to watch a lot of Champions League when I was younger and any cup games (FA, League Cup, etc). Used to watch a lot of Celtic games and go along to the pub to watch the Monday night games when I was in college (you get some free sandwiches sometimes - poor students of course!). Used to work in a bar too so lots of footy then.
Nowadays, I just watch all Liverpool, Kaiserslautern and Irish first team games as much as I can. It was a hell of a lot harder to follow that when I was in Korea for years with the time difference but being in Germany had made football very easy to watch 0 -

I've seen every United match this season.
I've seen most of the Irish games in full, bar the Germany match.
I don't think I've seen any other match in full. I usually dip in and out of matches. I haven't got the time to be 'wasting' on matches. Far too much to get done for my work experience. I will tune into the last 15/20 minutes of a match if I think it's worth it.
I've been to 4/5 Bangor City matches. The standard is nowhere near that of the top leagues in England. But, seeing a screamer live in the flesh beats seeing it on TV every day of the week. I've seen some crackers over here during those matches.
This is one of the best matches I've ever been to. It had everything. The Airbus assistant manager was sitting up beside us and he gave us some dirty looks during the game for the stuff were shouting about them ha.
