Football annoyances

Substitutions in the last few minutes where the guy being taken off gets as far away as possible.
In that situation the ref should tell him to leave the pitch at the nearest touchline and walk round to the dugouts.
To save any confusion with the linesman he should have to take his shirt off, bet they'd get a move on then on a cold day.6 -
And the bleached teeth - Firmino and Countinho look absolutely ridiculous.cabbles said:I genuinely dislike the image of the modern footballer
So plastic. Headphones, tattoos, FIFA and hip hop and r’n’b. That’s pretty much what I think all of them are like. I’m sure some are very individual and have personalities, but it’s very hard to tell2 -
Substituted players that walk off slowly and mess about clapping their supporters0

Players that have there first name on the back of their shirts.
Dele Alli for example.
Just noticed Jordon Ibe has his first name as well.5 -

"False nine" and similar terms. The lower the league being discussed the more ridiculous it sounds.2

Robinson telling us how well we have played every time we lose.5

Players pretending to be hurt, absolute pathetic behaviour from what are meant to be grown men.6

The snorting noise Danny Mills makes before answering any question he’s asked on the radio.0

The FA Cup being reduced to 50% of games played on the Saturday and the rest on the Sunday, all for the sake of the poxy BBC. Highlights of all games then shown eventually on Sunday teatime. Guaranteed shit attendances.6

That one with the dog always catches me out! I think to myself "That'll be on question of sport!" Then have to punch myself in the head and call myself stupid....Oakster said:Animated / Electronc advertising boards around the pitch doing their best to distract you.

Animated managers on the side line playing up to the cameras (trying to look as though they are not) - Conte and Marino step forward.0

Jamie Redknapp keeps banging on about a players low centre of gravity.

Commentators & pundits who say 'he's got great feet for a big man'
Of course he has. He's a professional footballer for christ sake4 -
Players wearing gloves in September0

Teams wearing an away/third strip when there is absolutely no need.
Home kit should be worn unless there is a clash.
e.g. I was watching Napoli v Juventus recently - Napoli were wearing their dark away kit at home (no idea why), which in turn meant that Juventus had to change, so neither team was wearing their home colours (which seemed a particular shame given the famous blue of Napoli and the Juventus stripes!)2 -
Football 'hipsters' Giroud, Bruno and the rest, just do one you pinned
Sky hyping super duper derby super Sunday for weeks beforehand. They did a feature on the countries not showing it, North Korea, Cuba and Moldova, but fail to mention that the citizens have more pressing matters to worry about than Guardiola mourinho handbags2 - Sponsored links:

Choreographed goal celebrations4

It started at the World cup in the USA & was supposed to speed things up. At the time an injured player was put immediately on a stretcher/buggy & taken off the pitch to be treated. The match would then re-start with the player being treated off the pitch & then let-on again once as per usual. No time wasting & no real need for added time. But some clever dick at FIFA or wherever decided to change it & cock it up.killerandflash said:The nonsensical rule that a player who's been treated for an injury has to go off the pitch after they've been treated!
It doesn't save time, and penalises the team with the injured player, when they might have a dangerous situation

My father in law does some refereeing and says he always gives a free kick for obstruction - says the defenders soon learn the lesson.SoundAsa£ said:Players who get away with shepherding the ball out of play (especially defenders manipulating for a goal kick), and deliberately preventing an opponent from playing the ball......any other place on the pitch and the ref would blow up for blatant obstruction?
Never understood how this anomaly has been allowed over many many years to develop and is now considered the norm?
IMHO it’s obstruction, pure and simple.0 -
Another one they introduced to speed up the game was to take goal kicks from either side irrespective of where it went out.
It's just used as another time wasting method.1 -

The Premier League anthem, and how we had to cut short the RRR to play it before matches
Obviously not a problem for us at the moment...0 -
