What happened at half-time sums up modern football

While Fulham fans enjoyed an afternoon they’ll never forget, there was one incident at half-time which summed up the state of modern football in many people’s eyes.

A live match of FIFA 18 took place on the big screens - Aston Villa v Fulham, naturally - between two fans of the opposing teams.

Needless to say, this did not go down with most those inside the stadium, some of whom took to social media to express their disbelief.

Surely highlights of the game itself would have been better. Was a live version of FIFA 18 really necessary?

Harmless fun - or something to worry about?

Of course, those behind the idea were clearly trying to appeal to younger supporters inside the stadium.

It could also be argued that it was just a bit of fun and those having a moan shouldn’t be taking it so seriously.

But you can certainly understand why some football fans were left with their heads in the hands.

Modern football, eh.
