Segun Oluwaniyi Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 I'll add "defenders raising their arm every time the other team attempts a through ball". Just do your job and run back, tosser. Andy O'Brien. My favorite is Paul Robinson at Blackburn. He was appealing with his hand up in the air as the ball slowly rolled past him into the goal.

WarrenBartonCentrePartin Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 going on Interpolic's 'glove' thread in chat, I'll add footballers who wear gloves, and even more, footballers who wear short sleeved shirts and gloves. So you'll be warmed up enough not to keep your arms warm, but your hands might get too cold? Emre, you little scamp, I'm looking at you. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NG32 Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 Pundits who use the same tired old lines about newcastle fans "they would rather lose 4-3 then win 1-0" Really? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

NJS Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 The modern habit of squealing like a lass in order to convince the ref that a challenge was bad. Refs should have the power to allow the cheated player to kick the cheat as hard as they like - a true "free kick". Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nobody Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 Away goal rule. International weekends and people who are only interested in international football. Timewasting, including trying to keep the ball by the corner flag. Love it when the ref (probably wrongly) blows a free kick to the other team when this happens.

NG32 Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 Steven Gerrards two footed "tackles" and how he never gets sent off. Spineless refs. Fergie Boring games like Bolton v Blackburn and how sky try to jizz it up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keefaz Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 People like my dad and Mark Bright who complain about footballers making mistakes. 'What he should have done there is...' -- well, no shit, you fucking idiot. Doubly so when it's the likes of Bright or Jim Beglin complaining about, say, Ryan Giggs' delivery. As if they could teach him fucking anything, ffs. See also: my dad complaining EVERY TIME a player is offside. 'That should never happen!' Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

M4 Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 Players falling deliberately on the ball and grabbing it when they want a free kick. When it's marginal ref should call handball and a yellow for deliberate handball. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AyeDubbleYoo Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 Ignorant pundits who comment on players based on their reputations rather than their real abilities. Diving. Players crowding the referee and whinging like little girls. Screaming in pain when tackled. Fergie. People calling for the introduction of technology. Beckham haters.

Guest Phil K Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 Pompous, Biased Football Journos Fans of other clubs with an agenda (for reasons best known to themselves) about us. Man U fans who were "from/born/dad was from" Manchester (this includes Mongolians, Chinese, Outer Hebrideans, Martians) Ole Gunnar Sockpuppet Foreign players who only wish to play for one of the top 4 - ONLY one of the top 4. Footballers who seem to believe being paid £100,000 a week is "fair" Journalists who believe Liverpool fans are "justified" to attack their board and owners, while we are not. You're right with the Stevie G crap too. Fergie, yes. Ranting at any decision going against them, and ignoring the other 95% of the time when ref decisions go FOR them How often does the refs play until Man U score ? Blatant pens not given ?

Guest Phil K Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 This thread makes me think there's more that I hate about football than things I like. I could easily add another 10. Absolutely. On the other hand, I used to think there was nothing I didn't like about speedway. Then I started believing it was getting processional, and too many changes to the sport I loved, and stopped going totally 15 years ago, and never been back since, i can't ever imagine that happening with football though.

Pilko Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 Lee Dixon and Martin Keown on Match of the Day 2.
