Anyone find that as they get older they get a lot less bothered by football (except for Hibs of course)?

Pretty much only interested in Hibs games but if i was to watch another game i'd rather watch anything scottish example: Partick Thistle v Motherwell over Chelsea v Liverpool.

(I make an honourable exception for Dirk "Diggler" Lehman, the beautiful and unlikely collision of Hibs and porn).

Watch loads. English, Spanish, German, French, Champions League. I don't watch any Scottish football apart from Hibs games.

All Cup Final videos qualify as porn for me.

I think golf is my thing now to be honest. Still wouldn't miss the Hibees tho.

I won't go out of my way or travel to see anything other than a Hibs or Scotland game. Only watch CL when I'm free and not got anything else on. Last night for example I happily dingied the CL to go for a run with my wife then had dinner etc. 5 years ago that would have been unthinkable.

I'm somewhere between 2 and 3. I watch some of the big English games and a lot of Scottish ones but hibs are priority

I like football, watch a fair chunk of EPL games, not that bothered about watching Sportscene mainly because the punditry is cliche-filled banality in the main.
Went to my first Bundesliga game at the weekend there, that was some experience and I'd do that again if I get the chance. I watch the CL if there's a British side involved, but not that bothered if I miss it.

I'd been going off CL football but I had a few bets on last night and watched that new programme on BT Sport - it's a bit like Soccer Saturday only they jump back and forward between games showing the goals and highlights.
I have to say I really enjoyed it and I've been off CL football for a few years now.

I like watching games like Aberdeen v The Rangers when the Huns get pumped especially by a dodgy decision. For The Rangers read Hertz as well.
Ps only when I'm not at a Hibs game.

I probably watch about 15 games a week.

I'm probably somewhere between 2 and 3. Obviously being displaced down in Suffolk, I don't get to see as many Hibs games as I would like to, but will clear out time to watch any Hibs game I can on the TV. Apart from that, I'm not overly fussed... If I'm in the house with nothing to do then I'll watch some PL football on TV etc.
The slight exception is that given a choice between watching PL on the TV, or going along to watch my new local team (in Sergey's favourite pub league no less!) then I'll head along and watch them!

I used to watch non stop when I was younger. Sky probably had a positive effect at first in England and Scotland. However, as the years have rolled on Scottish football has been shafted by the TV and players are now earning ridiculous sums. The thought of giving that stain on humanity Murdoch more money is also a major reason not to subscribe or watch sky. Nowadays, I am more passionate about Hibs than I have ever been and that was the case even during Butcher. Five years out due to a young family made me feel guilty and I am so grateful I can get along to all the home games and a good chunk of the away games. Even better now I am accompanied by my two wee Hibbies.
The only football I really watch, other than Hibs, is Match of the Day occasionally and my son. I would rather watch paint dry than Barcelona etc and the pampered, rich players diving all over the park winning games for corrupt managers and filling the coffers of despicable media moguls. Apart from that tippy tappy football is so boring.
Football needs to hit the reset button and get back to the things that made it the beautiful game - Speed, guile, bravery, honesty, sportsmanship. affordable to all and community based. It is corrupt to the core and an embarrassment as a sport. Hibs are a massive exception in the cesspit. We have dignity, honesty and whilst our game isn't beautiful all the time it is our aim. We criticise our own when they dive or cheat and seem to have a balanced view on most things. Proud to be a Hibby not so proud to be a football supporter.

I used to love football and would watch 7-10 games a week but have found myself going off it more and more recently. It's got to the point now where the champions league is boring.
Got my ST back at ER after a 2 year break and I'm enjoying being back, nothing better than watching hibs at easter road.
Football is definitely now my second sport behind American Football.

I love football. I watch several games a week on tv and head along to watch ***** quality northern irish premiership and third tier games fairly regularly too. I don't really care about the outcome of any game that doesn't involve hibs though.

I clicked option 2, but I'm probably closer to option 1 than that. I'm not bothered enough about the Champions league greedfest to pay to watch it and the same goes for the Europa league now that BT sport have taken that over. But I'll watch pretty well any game on the TV like ALBA, Sportscene, MOTD and the Bundesliga highlights and even the women's world cup and Olympics.

When I was younger I watched loads, as I got older and SKY and BT etc started to saturate the market I watched less. Before I moved to the USA I mainly watched my local park side.
It probably doesn't help that I work in football so I see/talk about it all day as well so I get my fill at work. I think I have seen one game since I moved other than Hibs.

Only Hibs, every fortnight non-stop since the mid 60's and some away games including a few European trips. And any Scotland games - either on pub tv or to Hampden - and sometimes trips abroad to watch the internationals.
Watch MOTD highlights only if I know something genuinely exciting has happened and SPL highlights if Yams, Huns get beat.!
My wife wouldn't watch football so I'm not interested in having it in the house - she comes first before some grotesquely bloated EPL or Champions League games.
Did watch highlights of Parkhead game last night today - but after the Arsenal game, I got thoroughly bored.
Already getting excited about Sunday - maybe sounds a bit ridiculous but it's just The Hibees for me..

Hibs live is good but attention span in the house watching football is terrible, far too easy to channel flick and get addicted to complete garbage tv :)

I can't be ersed with any of it now,what's the point, that day in May changed me forever.

The novelty value of watching live football on TV has long since worn off, so option 3 for me which means Easter Road 5-6 times a season, Hibs if we're on TV and the occasional big game from the Premiership.
Mature, sensible signature required for responsible position. Good prospects for the right candidate. Apply within.

I'll watch some of the big games like Manchester Utd-Liverpool, Barcelona-Real Madrid, Champions League final etc but I don't bother about most of the football that is on TV, such as the average Premiership game shown on Sky like West Brom v Hull.
The only time I have any real interest in watching a game is if Hibs are involved.
