The best and worst things to happen to football in the last 20 years

[Lammy]

Best - The new passback rule. Genius.

Worst - Sky tv.

 

[Gully]

Best - Albion getting a 1-1 draw at Hereford.

Worst - Bill Archer being invited to join the board at the Albion.

But seriously:

Best - Almost complete eradication of violence associated with Football.

Worst - The disasters at Heysel and Hillsborough, both of which led indirectly to what I count as being the best.

I don't have Sky. If I did I would not want to watch football ever night of the week either. Football should be at 3:00pm on a Saturday.

It's also quite amusing that you think if I'm not watching the football I MUST be watching another channel. There are other things to do than watch TV you know.

Like;

Make beer
listen to music
Read a book
talk to the wife...

I was thinking more along the lines of football in general as opposed to specific things that have happend to any one club. Great though they might be!

Oh sorry,

In that case

Worst : Sky Tv
Best : Removal of terrace Fencing following Sheff Weds Disaster!

 

[paulie]

Best - New stadiums (not a dig at BHA, Selhurst is fairly decrepit).

Worst - Polarisation of the top flight because of TV money, likes of us cannot compete with the wealthy.

 

[REDLAND]

surly ITV digital has f***ed things up far more than SKY !!

 

[lincs seagull]

Worst

the premiership killed the hopes of clubs building teams and winning things from lower leagues

Best

fans united shows that the fans do have a major say in there club power to the people

 

[Behind Enemy Lines]

Worst - Premiership/ Sky
Best - Being part of 30,000 Albion fans at Cardiff and winning!

 

[Strike]

Worst: The Premiership, and Sky TV resulting in more glory hunters

Best: Removal of terrace fences, and most things that have made attending football matches safer.

 

[Rangdo]

worst - profiteering asset strippers
best - reduction in violence and racism

 

[eastlondonseagull]

Worst - big money in Premiership and removal of terracing
Best - Albion's League survival

 

[Hatterlovesbrighton]

Best - All seater stadiums - turned attending football macthes from something for 18-40 year olds to something for the whole family

Worst - Football clubs floating on the stock market - initial money but always destined to end in tears

 

[Curious Orange]

I think Sky TV is the best AND worst thing to happen to English football. It undoubtedly has opened up football to a new market, trouble is is that while a minority of clubs have benefitted handsomely, the game as a whole has not.

 

[Brighton till i die]

Best - Brighton keeping their league status!


WORST - removal of terracing from grounds - completely ruining the game!

 

[Lammy]

I repeat. Best and Worse things to happen to football as in the game itself not what a great day out it was at Cardiff. This has not affected the game itself.

Sky TV, all seater stadiums, hooliganism etc all HAVE.

 

[Trufflehound]

Worst - the Premiership, and all the dollar-driven whores who sail in her.

Best - Any good news that comes from any club not connected to the Premiership: Albion competing with no money, Doncaster's return to the league, watching MK Dons plummet, etc.
