Boring!!! : Fri Jul 17, 2009 11:31 pm  

Me and my 8yr old son go every home game together.

We missed the cas game this year and odd game last year.

Tonight at halftime my lad asked could we go home as he was bored. I talked him into staying as we would turn it on in 2nd half.

On the drive home after the game my lad told me he is bored of watching saints and doesn't want to go anymore.

I tried to explain that we can't win every week.

He then told me it's not because we got beat, it's because it's boring!!!

It's pretty sad a 8yr old kid is bored watching the team he loves.

To be honest he ain't only 1 who's bored.

You could be Bradford supporters. They all used to think it was a crap game if they didn't win by sixty points. Now it's a good game if they get beat by less than sixty

I'd say tonights game was scrappy, not boring though! Saints drubbing Wakey by 30+ points would have been boring!

He is only 8 years old. I doubt most kids of 8 would be incredibly perceptive to distinguish the facets of the game boring or otherwise. In other words, he's just sitting on a concrete fence for nearly two hours.

I agree tonights game was boring. Every game can't be a classic but from what watching on TV saints lacked desire/ Last week they had a spring in their step and look amazing, against the lesser teams they seem to be going asleep this year.

2nd half was entertaining, but the quality of the game was dire. The 1st half was a less rewarding experience than my dental appointment this week.
