First of all, you can really "see" the football, not the deceptive light projected on a screen which illustrate a "football".
Second, you have to walk just like running up hill to the stadium, just because you started a tiny task before you leave office, which you really shouldn't, and it turns out to be a problematic one.
Third, you can watch the first half with an empty stomach and getting so annoyed by someone behind eating a nice smelling...fried noodles, i supposed.
Forth, please queue up for 3 minutes just to buy a $20 hotdog...damn.
And it's just Hong Kong football, something meaningless, pointless, outclassed, downgraded your image...slow, error-prone, static, lack of skills...just a shit one.
But I just love it. Actually sometimes it's less error-prone then those superstar football. Again, I can still remember the match Man Utd vs Tottenham a season ago or two...a fucking shit match which players just never concentrate, even it's just the simpliest move...those superstars did all kind of aimless passing, someone never stood in the position where they should be... may they know the striker will never put the ball into the goal anyway...hell yeah.
Anyway, it's all about the experience and connection.
The experience is something you can never get on watching so-called-live-football-on-the-fucking-TV. Rushing and Hunger? It's nothing. When you can watch a football match live in the stadium, those so called problem are actually part of the experience and it makes it fruitful. Yes, you think it's crazy, since nowadays we never think about "paying effort" for better one...Music, Movie, Girl... as long as it's easy, dun bother it's not the best...isn't it your though?
Do you understand how much you missed by watching football match just on a screen? Yes, you have got slow motion, you won't miss any exciting moments. But you can never see the part that no one ever bother. And when the game is piling on pressure, you can never sense it since you are watching the match on the crouch in a laid back mood. Seeing some nice combination as granted as everything look so easy on screen. You don't sense the actual speed of the ball, you don't sense how fast the player can think, you don't understand how difficult to make a quick pass which look so simple on the fucking screen. You never know the reality.
I still remember in last season, the first Kitchee vs TPFC match. Both team were so quick, so organized and covering so well, and both teams still tried everything possible for just getting close to the opponents goal. The air is pulling by the tension with the supporters drumming, I can keep thinking if i have ever seen a better performace of TPFC. Hardly talk(still I have to discuss the match with my peer), hardly breathe(still i have to breathe to survive). That's something worth to remember as a personal experience, much much more than those world cup final on TV, which I could remember the match, but never the sensational feeling.
If supporting a team means you have to support the best team, or as least a better team, in 2008 and 2009 all of us should support Barcelona...who bother Liverpool? which didn't fucking win any fucking trophies last season? You don't love the prettiest girl, you may want to "do" something else with her, but you don't love her. You love someone else, someone you can connect with(i don't mean physcially). In fact, there's lot of the supporters all over the world supporting teams that never fucking win, just like lots of "not so pretty" married woman.
Why? Because the men put their life into it, they sense it and are connected with it. If you understand what i'm talking about, probably you know there's always something else, something beautiful, beneath a less than glamorous surface. Music, Movie, Football, Girls, Boys...it's all the same.
Anyway, Kitchee played a fine game tonight. The Spaniards are better then my expectation. Watch out the No.8 and 18, seldom be impressed by foreign players in their first match like they did, for quite a long time.
