FabSwingers.com forum: The return of football thread...

Ok so I've not spotted a post about the return of English football so thought I'd do the honours. Whilst I appreciate some of you don't give a shit

for others like me the loss of live footy, Rugby League, Golf, Cricket etc has been a massive loss during COVID.

So a few observations after yesterday's return....

1) David Luiz is still no better than your average Sunday League centre half.

2) City did a great job of replicating their home atmosphere with the "piped" fan noise.

They managed to hit about 20 decibels.

3) Congratulations to Barrow on re-entering the Football League after 50 years away. Having experienced promotion last season with my team it's unbelievable and I'm already looking forward to another weekend in the lakes for the away trip next season.

Was that not just Sky TV playing crowd noise?

Love the cobblers due to stopping off in Hanslope for beers on the way back home after playing up north.

Saw us play them twice this season. Remember them beating us at their place but don't remember them being that good (I thought we were dire). Anyone who Akinfenwa has played for tho gets my vote.

Plus the DJ guy outside was a top fella and played loads of Manchester Music and the welcome was very warm from club officials.

Weirdly, didn't make any of the other away trips to the playoff rivals (was in Perth for Colchester and Exeter & Cheltenham both cancelled due to COVID)!

Goal line technology in place - check. VAR in place - check.

Ball over the line - GOAL errrr no. VAR errrrrr no.

Yep, football as we know it is definitely back

London/Essex... ish... Romford to be exact

Wasn't the return of football meant to boost fans' morale or something? Frankly, I feel like jumping out my window head first after watching this first half of WHU v Wolves.
