The sub popped up in my feed a few months ago and all I really see here is people complaining (mainly about City, Newcastle, UAE, Saudi Arabia, and refs) and posting about conspiracies and conspiracy theories.
There’s very little in the way of moderate football discussion, and it feels like a circlejerk at times.
Has it always been this way? R/soccer has had its own challenges for a long time, but even there the proportion of interesting content tends to be higher.
I enjoy participating in subs like r/championship and r/theother14
Pretty much yeah. It’s infested with “fans” from a certain few clubs that have almost certainly been cast out other places so they all congregate here en-masse to express those shit opinions that put them here in the first place and back each other up for a sense of acknowledgement.
It’s fucking weird, but if you recognise it’s no place for normal opinions it can be a fascinating place to read the levels of delusions some go to.
