Must agree with that. Cant beat playing. Lost a final during the week though :mad:

On a slightly different topic. Might be interesting to do a poll on what level the people on here have played at. Anyone play at league level, who plays senior or junior or is it just a kick about or a five-a-side at the weekends. If it hasn't been done before of course.

i played up to u-18 level, then i found college and booze and fags so that went out the window. now i play 5 a side every wednesday, and i've been playing in the nite leagues for thelast couple of months, which i have to say has been pretty enjoyable

[Éanna]

I love playing ball, but I'd chose watching it anytime.

[Poor Student]

Watching. I'm a God awful footballer. Never played for a team. That isn't to say I really enjoyed kick abouts with mates but I've always been majorly a spectator of the beautiful game.

21 now, been supporting Shelbourne since I was about 8 (Tho I did used to go to alot of Rovers games when they conveniently played in the RDS for serveral years - always up for the opposition tho! (I was young, ssshhh!)). Haven't played except for PE in school since I wrecked my knee when I was younger.

Started going to LTFC matches when I was 5. Didnt really have a clue what was going on but as I've got older, its just got better and better :)

Much prefer playing, the way Bohs are playing at the minute its hard to watch knowing that if Jimmy Aggrey can get in to the team then so could anyone!

[gael353]

used to love playing and now i love watching but what i love best is playin away :D

Had a very disappointing schoolboy career which ended at age 15.
Used to play with my friends growing up. Gave up playing anyway regularly when I hit 18 years of age. Only played indoor for a while in my 20's and 5-a-side on Tarmac into my 30's and stopped.

Did a coaching course at 38 and played a bit during that. Never played as well in my life as I did on that course. Had heart attacks at age 40 have not played since. Nothing beats playing.

Watching is enjoyable have been a regular more or less since 1981 and only missed one or two seasons since then and they were early on in my spectating career. I have done almost everything in the ground for the club.
Manned turnstiles, sold half-time draw tickets, sold programmes, sold match tickets, provided security on one occasion, and was public address announcer. Now I sell club souvenirs on match day, having written for and or edited the match programme/team sheet from 1985 to 2004.

I am also involved in club and League and Provincial administration in Womens soccer. Getting involved is the next best thing to playing. Even though I love watching football and will continue till my zimmer frame won't fit through the gates :D

Used to play junior football but gave it up after a while, even so i still find watching the most enjoyable cause nothing beats those big european games where you see the dedication of those fans in europe. Just watching the peno shoot out between PSV and Lyon and had to look at the reaction of the PSV fans, pure extacy. Can't stand the premiership though, that prawn-sandwich bull****.

[BohDiddley]

Clearly, you weren't in Drogheda ;) . Entire team, bar Gregg, was brilliant, especially in the second half. Aggrey was good, not only in defence, but also in giving grief to their defence (no names mentioned), and he had a major part in our first goal.

Playing is always much better in my opinion,just don't get to play as much as i used to but i always prefered playing anyday of the week.
