I'm soooooo ANGRY!!!!!

Curt · 10-18-2003, 11:29 PM

I'm absolutely boiling. I'm ready to burst!

I'm a huge Aston Villa fan (have been since the age of 6) and today is a massive game with the Villa playing our arch rivals, Birmingham City. So I went along to the official Aston Villa site where they have a fanzone and an internet radio link where a couple of guys do a live radio report on the net for Villa fans all over the world, run by Villa fans who are passionate about their club. I listened to both home and away corresponding games last year.

And guess what?................

The games can no longer be listened to live unless you PAY A FRIGGIN FORTUNE FOR SKY SATELLITE TV.

This is no doubt the doing of the Club, the Football Association and Rupert Murdoch's Sky corporation. It is fuelled purely by greed.

This is a disgrace. Passion for our local teams comes from the heart, not from the pocket. And these MORONS think they can continue to make money from our passions. THEY CAN GO TO HELL.

From this day forth I refuse to buy anything linked to Aston Villa or any Murdoch corporation as all it seems to do is fuel their greed. I shall continue to follow the progress of my beloved team as that is a passion that holds dear to me, but it will never again be in a way that may profit the greedy bas*****s

Whenever people spoke of heaven when I was a kid, they always pointed to the sky. Now I know ........... THAT'S WHERE THE DEVIL LIVES.

None of them shall EVER make a penny, cent or ruble out of me again.

SCREW 'EM!

(ah! I feel better now)

Bah! It was a boring 0:0 anyway. Would've probably sent me to sleep.

I could do with a sleep come to think of it.....................

Soccer games are boring when compared to Cricket. Now Cricket - that's the real deal

Too bad I can't listen to it or watch it, for the very same reason as you! Fortunes!!

Cricket is boring when compared to International Rugby - did any of the English here see the game yesterday? Very important win. Bring on the Aussies and the All Blacks.

Maybe if England and Australia played Cricket, it'd be boring.

Not when you have India playing Pakistan in the dying overs of an all important match!! I remember listening to those games on a radio in school (outside of class, of course!). Simply exhilarating

Whenever the Oylimpics or the World Cup comes around, it's not uncommon for teachers to roll in TVs just to watch the soccor/hockey matches.
