Local woman with 250 channels outraged three of them are showing football

A local woman who has 250 TV channels is outraged three of them are showing football matches as World Cup 2026 gets into full swing.
Deirdre Connolly from Tullamore hates football and told us she’s absolutely sick of it.
“I’m absolutely sick of it!” she told us. “When I’m flicking through my channels, why should I have to see football on some of those channels before moving onto the next channel? It happened twice yesterday and it’s not good enough. Why should I be forced to see several seconds of football when I don’t like football? I’ve a good mind to get my dodgy box taken out.”
Deirdre also has Netflix, Amazon Prime and many other streaming services as well as her 250 regular channels and although only three of those channels are showing World Cup matches, she says that’s three too many.
“I don’t like football so there should be no football on any channel ever.”
Professor John McIntyre is an expert in human psychology and says tensions often rise in households during big sporting occasions such as major football tournaments.
“We studied the behaviour of over a hundred families and found very definitive differences in personality between people who like sport and those who don’t. For example, the World Cup is every four years and people who don’t like football spend the entire month complaining about it. However, soap operas are on every single day all year round and people who don’t like those simply don’t watch them.
“We can therefore conclude that people who don’t like football are general whiny whinge-bags who prefer to spend their time moaning about something they don’t like rather than just watching something they do like and shutting the hell up about it.”
So there you have it folks. If you’re one of those people who don’t like football, how about simply not watching it? Go on, give it a go and let the rest of us enjoy it in peace you whiny fecking whinge-bags.
