    Re: Worst/most boring football match you've ever seen
    One match has always stuck with me for not wanting to be there - though I've seen much worse.

    About 4 years ago we played Derby at home - who brought about 2 fans. I was massively hungover, had to drag myself to the match. My seat at the front of the Park End at the time wasn't covered by the roof, it started to rain, I had no coat having only the shirt from the night before. Absolutely nothing happened in the match aside from Osman scoring in the second half.

    Derby away 3 seasons ago (Leicester fan)... About two shots on target all game, Derby scored through an own goal and we lost 1-0...

    Someones a little bitter!

    There's been quite a few absolutely boring matches with Derby over the last few years but I'll give it to Manchester City against Fulham around 8 years ago. It was 0-0, NO shots on target all game and general hoof ball. Boring!

    Man City 0-0 Liverpool 2010

    Think it set some sort of Premier League record for least number of shots on goal. Truly diabolical game considering both teams were still in the running for 4th at the time, both managers bottled it.

    That Ukraine Switzerland game at the World Cup in 2006 was genuinely more akin to a staring contest than a football match.

    The Chelsea Manchester United cup final of 2007 wasn't much better.

    As a Leicester fan, when I went to Wolverhampton Wanderers away in 2003/04... We were winning 0-3 at half time, and ended up loosing 4-3. Wolves scored 4 goals in the second half.

    I've watched Leicester up and down the country and seen some depressing matches, but that was poor. Also, our relegation: Went to Stoke away and we got relegated for the first time in our history after a 0-0 draw. Thankfully though, that relegation has been our turning point.
