barneyrubble Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 International breaks are boring at the best of times but to have one now just when the crunch is coming is particularly tedious. Personally can't stand international football no interest whatsoever especially now players can just decide what country they play for. Makes the whole play for your country a farce. Will feel like the start of a short new season and there won't be any room for a slow start. Maybe the only positive might be we come back better than the others. Can't wait for it to end and get back to football I care about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TBW Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 People who can't deal with two weeks of none of the sport they enjoy make me feel sad for their life. You really got nothing else? What would you do if there was no football, say, during the summer? International football is shit though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sticks 1969 Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 I wouldn’t say over 22 k inside Ashton gate watching england under 21,s shit . Lots of fans from different clubs coming to see what a quality stadium we have now can’t be a bad thing . each to there own ....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barneyrubble Posted March 21, 2019 Author Share Posted March 21, 2019 For some of us this is a big part of our lives and gives us something to look forward to when other things aren't great. In the summer I follow cricket and athletics. As far as I'm aware it's still football season . I also have a job I love and would do for nothing and a fantastic family. I'm also an active level 2 coach in 3 sports so have plenty to do and enjoy . International football gets in the way of watching what I enjoy and is not what I want to watch.

Up The City! Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 For us it's a two week break and I think that is great for our team to have before the run in. Personally I don't mind this break as much as will still be getting my football fix from watching the U21s tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red when we’re at home; blue for the rugby; surely won’t just be boring old white for England? I'm thinking yellow ochre or perhaps, burnt umber?

Bernard Lerring Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 Would you rather be bored (but available to do something, anything else) in this international break, or have to spend these 2 Saturdays rewatching the Birmingham and Ipswich games again? I see this as respite from the dross at Ashton gate personally! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magicdaps Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 I take the general point as I also favour club over country but my god did we look like we needed a break as we were rapidly running out of ideas. It may be the case that the opportunity to recharge the batteries (albeit some are involved in the internationals of course) and just take a break from what was a pretty poor run makes no difference whatsoever but IMHO it might help or to put it another way it certainly can't hurt.

elhombrecito Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 Looking at social media, it looks like the squad are all holidaying in various places.

How can you not support International Football as in England, it goes hand in glove with supporting your own team, just an extension of that really...personally I like a couple of weekends off from City playing, at least I know my weekends won't be ruined by another defeat. If last years hot summer with England's run in the World Cup didn't inspire you, then I actually feel sorry for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

reddogkev Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 I'm enjoying the break from City, for one it's limited my time on OTIB to just a few minutes a day, as there's nothing really going on.... except the Birmingham stuff. City have been crap for the past few weeks, so a break is overdue. Still having nightmares about the Leeds dross and the Ipswich tedium. Can't wait to see England play tonight, wonder what team Southgate will pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
