    Does it wane if the Reds are doing ****?

    I've got BT sports and two games to choose from and I can't summon the enthusiasm to watch either.

    I watch the CL games, Arsenal tonight, City last night (very good game it was too). I have little interest in the PL though and don't have sky so don't see any FL games.

    I watch any sport tbf.

    My interest doesn't depend on how bfc are doing though.

    These days I can barely summon up energy to watch any football outside Oakwell. Don't have Sky and only occasionally watch a Champions league game.

    To be fair I'm watching Bayern v Arsenal tonight because I proper enjoy watching Bayern play with their entertaining, fast paced, high pressing attacking football. I wish we could go for something similar.

    We have Sky, but it's rare that I watch any live games really. Busy man. But if Derby are on, as they are this Friday vs Forest, then obviously I watch them but other than that and attending our games, naew, not reight fussed. I do watch the highlights shows though, Football League, Premier League, Bundesliga, Eredivisie, La Liga etc. An hour or whatever covering the goals etc. I just haven't the patience to watch 90 minutes of a game I've no interest in. So aye, very few live games are watched in this house.

    I watch at least a game a night and on a weekend if I haven't travelled to Barnsley away, I'll watch four or five on a Saturday and maybe three on a Sunday after coaching Sunday League football.

    Sad really haha

    Not affected really. Watch the Sunday games on sky and that's about it. No interest whatsoever in champions league. Not even sure what channel it's on.

    I watch championship footy if I can but not fussed about PL unless it's Everton and refuse to watch Chelsea full stop.

    Anyway, BFC about to go in a winning run. Can feel it.... (but have been drinking).

    Football to me used to be everything, I had 2 season tickets so I could always take someone with me, but having a family changed it all, I love Barnsley and always will, but it's only a game, you win some you lose some, but family first, sorry if I'm not the 500% fan

    Zero. Well, not quite zero as I still watch England games when I know they're playing, but other than that I don't watch any football on TV, I don't read about, I don't listen to any footy stuff on the radio. My interest in Barnsley is still at fever pitch, but as far as I'm concerned the rest of the football world doesn't exist. It's corrupt and lost its soul and I no longer give a **** about it.

    Outside of Barnsley games I hardly ever watch any football anymore. I've lost interest completely and while I do look at the results, mainly to confirm how much I've lost on my bets, I don't bother with it otherwise.

    Played walking football on Monday with [MENTION=6673]Hicksy[/MENTION] and a few others, my interest in football is at a seasonal high. Sod watching it, I've seen the future and it's walking football.

    Pro game very little interest other than Barnsley. Son's under 15s enjoyable though. I've got Sky but I tend to watch MOTD2 mainly - like proper old style MOTD - highlights of a couple of games and round up of other goals.

    I must admit that I do miss watching kids football on a Sunday morning. I watched my eldest every week from when he started at about 7 years old and even now that he is 22 I still go and watch him quite a bit.

    Roughly nil, with the exception of England sometimes, and the big tournaments.

    The Champions' League is the biggest borefest going - some decent matches, but the format of the tournament is awful, and the same fixtures come up again and again.

    Not particularly, but I don't watch much Premiership or Champions League. Watch the Football League matches usually.

    I prefer watching the National Conference on BT Sport.
