  • I support Everton. Great club, great old stadium, vast regional fanbase, Dean, Lawton, Ball Kendall, Harvey, The Golden Vision, The School of Science.....no money no chance.

  • i am against modern football as well. today its more about entertainment rather than competition (believe me i have to put up with MLS, the mickey mouse disney franchising of football) its all about making money instead of bringing the community a title. "Clubs" buy players not for the contribution he might bring but for the shirt sales he might make (see beckham PSG) USA got a WC bid lost buy corrupt bastards. Reform Football world wide!

  • 1:27 hitler

  • fuck money grabbing whores !

  • Against Modern Football. HJK (Helsinki) fan here. Season ticket costs 70€ and there's 17 home games. 4€/game! UCL/Europa League qualifying round games are bit more expensive (10€ against Dinamo Zagreb and 20€ against Schalke) Still cheap tough compared to the prices in England, Italy, Spain etc.

  • @MHBanger Wow, thats cheap! Here at FC Twente, (Netherlands), a seasonticket starts at around €200. Europa League, against small competitors, €25 at least....

    Sadly.... Against modern football!

  • @SGEJonah I like the fact that I can attend games with relative saftey (being seated without shit-for-brain hooligans stabbing each other becuase they are bored and I quite like being able to see the games on Tv that I am unable to afford to attend.

  • que nos devuelvan el futbol a sus legitimos dueños: las hinchadas

  • Commercials > money > football players , arenas > entertainment .

  • here in belgium im a supporter of royal antwerp football club . we are the oldest team in belgium and where founded in 1880 . in 1993 we played the final of the europa league in wembley against parma . now we are in the second devision with still the very same stadium from 1980 on the television they gave it the price of the most ugly building in belgium . but we know better :) first they wanted to merge our team with our rival germinal beerschot to have a so called better team . but we said no!

  • ROYAL ANTWERP FOOTBALL CLUB !!! OLDEST TEAM IN BELGIUM AGAINST MODERN FOOTBALL !!!

  • Face it,it's not the people's game anymore,it's been hijacked,like everything else in our society,by big business.Wild west capitalism has ruined this country in just 3 decades & do the people fight back...oh no it's much easier to blame it on immigrants. Time for another civil war,kill the rich!!!!!

  • The thing is, there has to be all seater stadiums for safety issues. However, naming a stadium after a sponsor is fucking ridicules! I support Swansea City and we moved to the liberty stadium from the vetch which was ok at first because we were told it would be named the white rock and not be a sponsorship sell-out. They decided to change the name for the money. You only get the vetch field atmosphere in one stand which is unfair. Each stadium should have atleast one terrace for fuck sake!

  • I think alot of you are blaming the wrong thing, it's not "modernization" that's killing football, it's the over-capitalization of the game by the corporate world....

  • N.A.I.F. (No Americans in football)

  • AGAINST MODERN FOOTBALL- that banners from Croatia fans at Euro2008

  • Hi I'm a Pompey fan and we have really come off badly because of modern football. Our club was ruined because of people who don't see football as a passion but as a business. We have been relegated, we have had points taken away, we have a transfer embargo and we have been kicked out of Europe and they gave our place to Liverpool even though they have had financial trouble as well. DISGRACE.

  • POLAND AGAINST MODERN FOOTBALL!!!

    TUSK EAT SHIT !!

    POLISH GOUVERNEMENT AND FOOTBALL ASSOCIATION ARE BASTARDS!!

  • 4:14 "He won't do anything" BECAUSE HE'S THE LEADER OF IT ALL! FUCK YOU SEPP BLATTER!

    YNWA!

  • BTW FUCK MK DONS THEM FRANCHISE BASTARDS!!!

  • So happy i support a lower league team with a terrace (Wycombe Wanderers) but even that could be taken away from us if our fat owner gets his way and gets the money wasting 20,000 ALL-SEATER stadium!! SAY NO TO BOOKER!!!!

  • footballs getting more and more popular. the players have paytickets high as mountains. the club need investors to stay alive. its sad, but when sports gets this popular its bound to happen ._.

  • R.I.P Highbury, The soul of Arsenal was ruined when we left the home of football, now we dont even have English owners

  • Forza Portsmouth

    Fuck off modern football, you ain't welcome!!!!

  • This isn't just football it's every part of our lives. Three more UK prisons going to private firms to make profit-per-prisoner. Banking corporations like Goldman Sachs crushing our Irish neighbours and the National Health Service up for grabs to the highest bidder. The last generation who worked hard all their lives freeze to death in their homes for fear of energy prices. Can't afford to drive to work due to petrol prices and got to shop at LIDL or ALDI because we can't afford proper food.

  • Orient gets into problems because of Modern Football. Greedy Greedy Hammers won't be able to fill their own stadium... And they want the Olympic site. Yeah, prices will be so cheap, that with a loo-roll you can get in for free!

    This is what Modern Football is doing to very old clubs like Leyton Orient, who've been around East London since 1881.

    I enjoy the inconvinient 2 times 45 minutes where they cannot advertise on TV with ads... they call 'Football'

  • the communist chelsea logo is a bit ignorant just because they're owned by a Russian. If he's that rich then surely he won't be a communist

  • sound track pls...

  • @octa88 requeim for a dream

  • i can dream of going one day to Anfield and standing in the KOP sing YNWA with tears in my eyes and passion in my heart...I thank modern Football for these but NO to it !!! Don't kill the beautiful game !!!

  • Modern Football might have killed a lot of charm to the passion in football.But I thank it for spreading football around the world.For someone who has no football around like me can watch LFC matches every weekend on local TV...can buy merchandise from LFC site itself thanking my humble contribution for my club.

  • I'm from India...yes a non footballing nation...but my first club is Liverpool FC...Yes its more than my national team,my life is for the club...I know a lot of ultras may or may not slam me.Modern football for me is crap.My hatred to clubs like Chelsea...ooops sorry Chelski or Man Ure or Man Shitty is from my heart.I hate what is going on with fans of these three clubs anywhere in the world just thinking of players as items in a supermarket.

  • How to you think us aussie's feel losing the World Cup to some rich oil and money crazy terrorists. Just because they have more money. Can't wait till the terrorists hit that World Cup and then FIFA will realize what they did wrong if they last that long. The english were another one they have a great football tradition but lost it to russia who is run by a bunch crime mobs.

  • @WBFC1995 .what an ignorant oduchebag you are, so all midffl eastern states are crammed with terrosists?fucking retard. why the fuck would australian get it?how on earth would oyu accomodate the difference in time zones?idiot. of course fifa is corrupt but with retards like yourself im glad australia didnt get it.

  • We have to do something. Football fans from all over the world, DON'T LET THEM TAKE OUR FOOTBALL. We have somehow to go all of us to a big city of Europe and protest AGAINST MODERN FOOTBALL. We will do what we know best. We have to let them know that we HATE them.

  • Football=Money=Business.

    In England you are "lucky", in a matter of speaking, because you have several teams which can fight to win a title, in Spain like in Scotland we have only two teams and the rest don't count. IHATE MODERN FOOTBALL!

  • They should have a wage cap on all leagues, it would bring the game back down to earth.

  • @CMob09 then you just end up with every league been like MLS and some leagues will fight it and possible protest it (imagine if The Premier League and La Liga refused to play, and threatended to withdraw from UEFA and FIFA, you think they would enforce a wage cap on leagues then, hell no UEFA and FIFA get most of the money from European league like EPL and La Liga). But seriously UEFA and FIFA have to much power, their corrup and almost like dictators of world football, it's disgusting.

  • As a fan of the Football leagues only Supporters Run Club(Exeter City FC)

    I would like to point out at Exeter we have a model in which fans are very involved in the running of the football club and since the supporters trust has come in over the nearly eight year we have turned the club around

    From a souless, 5.2M in debt club to a thriving club based all around supporters... Run by fans for fans...

    I would like to see more Supporters trusts be as ambitious as ours!

  • PLAYERS NOT PROPERTY

  • 1.TV money: It's far too much. isn't it 50% of the club TV money? It must be 20 % at least.

    2. The Investor: In Germany they've got a 50+1 rule. 50% TV and the other 50% Club.In England it's a very big problem.

  • Against Modern Football!!!, from Rotterdam

  • The game is wrong, everything is WRONG! It's not a game any-more, it's a business!

  • AGAINST MODERN FOOTBALL from Bremen

  • ManUre are the cancer of football. Paying off referees and diving pussies like Cristina Gaynaldo and PuNani cheating their way into victories.

  • @UnknownGenius01 yo dawg, fuck you man. cancer in football? do you talk ENGLISH? man utd are the BEST of th BEST. we knocked liverpool right of their fucking perch. as fergy said. AND YOU CAN FUCKING PRINT THAT! 18 titles? what bout that asshole?

  • @LOLZ329

    What about the referees ManUre just bribed yesterday? To let a goal stand after a clear handball by PuNani.

  • @UnknownGenius01 what proof do you have? and tottenham were CLEARLY sleeping there. handball? get your facts right. show me atleast 2 news sources that say manutd bribed? huh? so go fuck yourself, cunt.

  • @LOLZ329

    Just go now on DailyMail website and there's a clear picture of your PuNani HOLDING the ball with his hand. But of course, as everyone knows, ManUre fans are blind gloryhunting cunts.

  • @UnknownGenius01 i said 2 u fucking retard. and dailymail is the most bullshit website dawg. thats why ur fucked up.

  • @LOLZ329

    ANYONE who say the match last night, there were plenty of replays of PuNani holding the ball with his hand. But just like I said ManUre fans are blind and stupid idiots, you proved me right.

  • @UnknownGenius01 U Dont EVen know what punani means! and ask everyone here whether it was Handball OR NOT!! SO fuck up and fuck ur mom, U PAKISTANI PIECE OF SHIT. Pakistanis are a bunch of fag divers and no lifers

  • Just wanted to say how amazed I am by the reaction of the fans who have posted on here. I have been away from YouTube for a long time and perhaps even more relevant footballing story is breaking. The death of Portsmouth FC is a travesty, a true testimony to the heartless spirit of the modern game and the birth of the footballing mercenary (Rooney) who held his club hostage for thousands upon thousands. This game is in disarray, we are in serious trouble because its only getting worse.

  • Fantastic video.

  • Modern Football makes me sad. I really feel sorry for Liverpool, but i can't help them.

    Portsmouth was last year the same. They had i think an American or Arabian investor and after that they went down into the championship. I hope that Liverpool won't go this way,but i think it'll go this way.

    YOU CAN'T BUY TRADITION

    AGAINST MODERN FOOTBALL

    SORRY LIVERPOOL FC

  • I hate modern football. I am a Newcastle fan and I have seen what money has done to this game. It has breeded footballers who care more about the Rolexs on their wrists, the Hummers they drive to training then the fans like myself and others who have part time/full time jobs and pay good money to see their team win,lose and draw when they can.

    It is all about money. The game is soulless and mark my words, we'll soon get £300,000 a week footballers and £100 million transfers.

  • Fuck modern football. Fight the repression and reclaim the game. NOW

    Ultras Liberi

    UK Ultras

  • Just got back from an AFC Wimbledon match, a six pointer for top of the conference against the leaders Crawley. We went 1-0 down but in the second half the Wimbledon support was immense and as a result we managed two late goals to take the 2 points and go top of the league in automatic promotion spot. You can never kill a football team, the Dons will be back!

  • @TsJsQsKsAs

    MK dons are a disgrace, you thrashed us (bath) 4-0 three weeks ago but 3 points to keep you ahead of "project promotion" is fine by me. You'll get your league club back, 2 seasons and that's gonna be one hell of a match. Good luck tomorrow.

    I'f you all hate MK Dons clap your hands!

  • you have to but you dont.... a whole crowd should just stand up all together start jumping and singing as loud as you can for your clubs... throw flares into the pitch even end a match thats the only way

  • all seaters stadium wtf?? you should all stand together at the same time!

  • 0:43 Why the communist symbol in the Chelsea-logo? The communists weren't capitalists! In fact communist are preety angry about the development in the modern football aswell.

  • At least Chelsea and Man City were smart enough to sell to foreigners who were willing to invest huge cash in the clubs. Man Utd and L'pool were bought by Americans who were only interested in forking money out of the clubs. Tom Hicks clearly stated that he bought L'pool to finance his teams in the US. They failed to realise that Americans can't tell sports from commercials. The Game is ruined.

  • Football is for YOU and me , and not for FUCKING INDUSTRY!

  • Forza FCUM

    If you don't like it don't go. The clowns at the FA might get the message then.

  • Football is not about money , football is not about authority.

    Football is freedom it is passion we don't need to get gorvern.

    Stop being pathetic companies, who cares how much you earn? Somethings in life is not about calculation or strategy stop making us look pathetic ,football is simple pleasure keep it simple.

  • why the brazils flag in the end of the video?

  • i think its a bit steep blaming Americans for the "demise" of English football, if you want to blame anyone , blame your own greedy clubs who grabbed the SKY tv money with both hands , the English premier league is THE most over rated over hyped league in the world , i much prefer la liga , although i have some sympathy for the way the ordinary fan has been robbed , no one in their right mind should want to go back to the dark days of the 70s and 80s, the bubble has burst on english football

  • I don't think the yanks can talk , after all we don't take the piss out of "football" as they call it , or Basketball , or Baseball (which is just rounders American Style).

    Yoyu shouldn't talk about stuff you don't even know about.

  • @trd858 rofl i know this is 10 months later than you posted, but i just realised you said you were a yank wimbledon supporter... but i went on your page and a charlton athletic background came up... i suspect your not only a liar but also a partime chartlon fan with a chelsea membership or tatoo, who just tried to defend the clubs that are ruining the game. fool.

  • Unfortunately the formation of the Premier League is a giant nail in the coffin to all the supporters of clubs in the football league and non league. Tradition and geniune football clubs with history are being trodden into the ground by the big wallets at the top who do absolutely nothing to help. That is why i can no longer support a top flight side. Orient till i die or the club dies.

  • NO AL CALCIO MODERNO

    Curva Sud

    Roma 1973

  • Misguided propaganda. It may have been a "working man's" game back in the year eighteen-oatcake... but things changed in the following decades.

    Football violence, drunken scum, thugs throwing darts into crowds, pissing all over the stands, smashing windows, rioting in downtown streets, causing shopkeepers to close up and hide, making kids afraid to go to the game. The Ibrox disaster, Hilsborough etc. People dying in overseas melees.

    Is that your idea of the way football "should be?"

  • @bloggerjoe Agreed.

  • @bloggerjoe Would yea fuck off yea pampered middle class yank you know nothing about football or 'soccer' as you thick bastards call it! I grew up on the terraces in the proper old days of football so what if there were a few riots get over it btw your LA Lakers basketball fans riot when they won the league earlier this month so they are not so different! Pissing in the stands? If you are on the terrace cant move and need a piss were are you gunna piss? On the ground of course! You know nothing

  • @EmmoF2 Hey, your profile says you are 20yrs old. So what exactly do you know about "growing up in the proper old days of football"??

    I was living in the UK when all the heavy duty shit was going down in the 60s and 70s. So you shut your ignorant mouth you Irish wanker.

  • @bloggerjoe I grew up in the last days of proper football terraces and remember being on the last stand of the kop even though I was only 4 yrs old. I probely know more about the old days of football than you do as I was there in the last days and me brother was there during the glory days of the 70's and 80's. Bet you were hiding in your house during that time of the 'heavy duty shit'! So why don't you stop watching fox news believing thier bullshit and fuck off yea thick yank wanker!

  • @EmmoF2 Haha... you are twenty now, so I guess you'd have been four around 1994, correct? You are too funny. You don't know anything about the glory days of football. Also, this discussion is about real stadiums in really big leagues... not the tiny terraces of the Limerick league. How many people were pressed into your terraces... a thousand?

  • @bloggerjoe Haha you must be the worlds best comedian cause I am fucking pissing meself laughing at your little comments and you are stereotying that all yanks are thick cause yes as i said I was only 4 at the kops last stand. I don't know anything? mate my family practically grew up during the glory days. I'm not from Limerick gobshite I'm a Dub born and bred and how about Hill 16? About 15'000 true fans pack into it every game that big enough for yea? In the 4th largest stadium in europe 84000

  • @EmmoF2 Oh, enough of your blarney, young fella. You are too young and too remote to even understand the bigger picture discussion here. No one in the world gives a crap about Irish league football... no one.

  • @bloggerjoe Obviously I am old enough to understand the bigger picture here the game I grew up watching and love is being destroyed by corporate greed and middle and upper class wankers like you who want no atmosphere in football! Ironic that you are slagging Irish league football coming from from a country were football is less popular than dodgeball no gives a shite about MLS more people know more about the league of ireland than you joke of a league! American 'soccer' as you call it is a joke

  • @EmmoF2 You are missing the point. It's not about taking away "atmosphere" from from football. It's about taking away violence, abuse, stabbings, riots, fan melees, innocent people getting hurt, and people getting crushed to death. In light of historical events like Hillsboro, Ibrox etc., what is your rationale for retaing the "old way"??

  • @bloggerjoe To the likes of FIFA and UEFA that seems to be the point of gettin rid of it as all they care about is the money. Yes they may have gotten rid of most of the violence but at the same time they have alienated the true fans who cannie afford to see thier teams play and hence have destroyed classic atmosphere. I still have tickets from when I was younger here is an example: 1995 Ireland V England £7. And a ticket from last year: 2009 Ireland V Italy £70. real fans are losing out!

  • @EmmoF2 Yes i agree ticket prices are outrageous... BUT it was the so-called fans that did this to themselves. Don't go blaming corporations... they are just doing what bug business always does. You can't call people "true fans" when all they do is get drunk and hurt others. When I talke my kids to a sports event, I expect them to come away entertained and unscathed. Protesting ticket prices is fine... but all this ballyhoo about the "old game"... come on.

  • @bloggerjoe How did we do this to ourselves? Please explain how. So what if we had a few riots but as I said before your LA Lakers fans rioted when they won the league but no one gave a shite! Because of corporations football's soul is being destroyed by greed and we true fans are treated worse than criminals! It's not a crime to be a proper football fan but we are not even allowed to talk to the players anymore! Btw if you bring kids to a match don't bring them to the terraces simple as that!

  • @EmmoF2 Look, fan problems in the USA and Canada are so rare it is not really a news item here. Every now and then fans go nuts in the streets. That's very different from decades and decades of violent history in UK and Euro football AT the matches, plus in the streets. You cannot compare the two. If the UK fans had simply enjoyed the game, instead of throwing pennies, darts, bricks etc., crushing people, starting melees, knifing people, hurting innocent kids... you would still have your terrace

  • @bloggerjoe Yea it is rare I've seen a video of 2 yank 'hooligans' fighting in LA a middle class wanker and a fat mexican very funny! We as fans are not even allowed to celebrate properly if our team wins a cup even a child is not allowed to run onto the pitch and hug thier heroes as the club would be punished by th FA who are trying to seperate the fans from the players altogether! Sadly Ironic the Taylor Report on hillsborough said that terraces are ok just need a upgrade but they didnt listen

  • Fuck this modern football!!! No al Calcio Moderno!!!
