Posted July 13, 20168 yr What is the most boring or otherwise most sh*t (and not in a funny way) game you've ever seen? I might just go on a self-masochistic marathon of watching them and seeing how far I can tolerate them before saying enough is enough. I'm looking for games in which there was actually something on the line. For instance, I'm not interested in end of season games between two mid-table teams with nothing to play for where no one could care less. People have said Croatia/Portugal in Euro 2016. I didn't watch it, but I can't imagine it being more boring than Sweden/Ireland. I've also heard bad things about England/Algeria World Cup 2010 and Switzerland/Ukraine World Cup 2006.
July 13, 20168 yr Most simulator games. Try Euro Truck Simulator if you really want to waste your time. Â Oh, and any game by Bethesda Game Studios
July 13, 20168 yr The one which immediately comes to mind is that 0-0 we had against Arsenal under Robbie when we were almost wholly concentrating on the Champions League. Â I'm sure there are better answers.
July 13, 20168 yr I tend to forget boring games ! But I can tell you that most our games last game were pretty terrible to watch
July 14, 20168 yr I can't think of one off the top of my head, but a lot of the group games in the Europa League are dreadful. A lot of games you will get no shots at all other than a few 30 yarders that fly over the bar.
July 14, 20168 yr Most simulator games. Try Euro Truck Simulator if you really want to waste your time. Oh, and any game by Bethesda Game Studios I will find you and force feed you oblivion discs for a week.
July 14, 20168 yr I will find you and force feed you oblivion discs for a week. Â Still better than playing it ;)
July 14, 20168 yr Juventus v Milan champions league final.Think it was about 2002 or something, i'm sure a quick google search will pull it up. Never been so bored in my life.
July 14, 20168 yr West Germany v Austria 1982 Â Yes. Spent the whole game passing the ball around. And Algeria missed out on getting to the next round. After the W. Germany v Austria match FIFA changed the rules so that the last games in a group kicked-off at the same time.
July 14, 20168 yr That man utd v Liverpool fa cup final where cantona scored the winner was shockingly bad.
July 14, 20168 yr Author Yes. Spent the whole game passing the ball around. And Algeria missed out on getting to the next round. After the W. Germany v Austria match FIFA changed the rules so that the last games in a group kicked-off at the same time. Is this the one where they colluded for a 0-0 because that would let them both advance to the next round?
July 14, 20168 yr Is this the one where they colluded for a 0-0 because that would let them both advance to the next round?  A win by 1 or 2 goals for West Germany would see both teams qualify for the next round. West Germany scored after 10 minutes. The rest of the match was just a kick-about.  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disgrace_of_Gij%C3%B3n  https://www.theguardian.com/football/2010/jun/13/1982-world-cup-algeria Edited July 14, 20168 yr by Boyne
July 14, 20168 yr I had free tickets to Everton Blackburn about 10 years ago. It was terrible, I think Blackburn nicked in the end.
July 14, 20168 yr 6 Oct 1984 - one of my early away games to Norwich, ended nil nil .... If it wasn't for taking the pee out of the locals I think I would past out with boredom...  King Kerry was our top scorer that season too ....  (I am not showing off with my Chelsea knowledge btw but this just happened to be the first season I went to most away games with my uncle and spent a lot of time on coaches checking out the stats and stuff)  The back pass rule didn't come in until 1992 so teams went 1 : 0 up then passed between the keeper and the defenders for an hour, (Liverpool were masters of it!); this match neither team bother going 1 : 0 up  It ended a great season though we finished 6thÂ
July 14, 20168 yr I don't recall a boring game as such but Serie A bores the hell out of me, I'd rather watch a 0-0 between two conference teams than watch Italian football.
July 14, 20168 yr I remember a few mates of mine took me to Leeds vs Charlton when they were in league one and it was awful. Windy day, 0-0 and just dull.
July 14, 20168 yr Yes. Spent the whole game passing the ball around. And Algeria missed out on getting to the next round. After the W. Germany v Austria match FIFA changed the rules so that the last games in a group kicked-off at the same time. That was the most public match-fixing there's ever been, but to my knowledge no action was taken against either side. FIFA should have kicked both teams out.
July 14, 20168 yr That was the most public match-fixing there's ever been, but to my knowledge no action was taken against either side. FIFA should have kicked both teams out. Â You're right, FIFA should have kicked them out. Like you I can't recall any action being taken against the teams. No wonder the Algerians were livid. Don't blame them. I read that they would have been the first African side to have qualified for the knock-out stage.
July 14, 20168 yr It should also be remembered, that this result threw the Germans into our mini group next round, we got eliminated despite being unbeaten in the tournament. West Germany went onto the final with the Schumacher incident being pivotal.Cheating gits. Thank god for the Italians. Â Brazil though were by far away the most entertaining side that year.

Â How Schumacher never got sent off is beyond belief. And the ref only gave a goal kick. Agree, Brazil was the most entertaining team. Some great players in the side. As for the Italians, led to one of the great goal scoring celebrations of all time. Â Edited July 14, 20168 yr by Boyne
July 14, 20168 yr Author Juventus v Milan champions league final.Think it was about 2002 or something, i'm sure a quick google search will pull it up. Never been so bored in my life. I thought this year's Champions League was painfully boring. If that one stands out in your mind 14 years later, it must have been insufferable. It should also be remembered, that this result threw the Germans into our mini group next round, we got eliminated despite being unbeaten in the tournament. West Germany went onto the final with the Schumacher incident being pivotal.Cheating gits. Thank god for the Italians. Brazil though were by far away the most entertaining side that year. I assume you mean West Germany? Did East Germany ever play? I really prefer the South American football style. Brazil hasn't been so entertaining recently, but Chile are the new kings of South American football, and they're feisty and hungry, for lack of better descriptors. They almost seem reckless at time with their attack. Like they don't know what defending is, and they don't care. The major downside of South American football is that the faking is practically a competition in itself.
