Daily Football Show host Mark van Aken has savagely roasted 3AW Drive host Tom Elliott after he penned a ridiculous anti-football yarn in the Herald Sun on Friday.
Elliott suggested that crowds are becoming “frustrated” as a result of a lack of entertainment on the pitch, hence leading to crowd issues, with 0-0 draws, conspiracy-crazed fans and oppressive rules “plaguing” the sport.
Below are extracts from the article:
“Soccer has a couple of other major deficiencies. First is its scoring, or lack of it…”
“In contrast soccer is plagued by 0-0 draws, which prove frustrating for many of its fans. How else to explain their habit of lighting flares, vandalising stadium seats and chanting at each other rather than watching the game? If soccer provided better entertainment, spectators might devote more of their attention to what’s happening on the pitch. Ways to increase scoring include expanding the size of the goals, getting rid of the silly offside rule and perhaps even eliminating the position of goalkeeper.”
