Football pet hates

Continuous replays and close-ups of footballers when the ball is in play :rant:

 

Nowhere near as bad as the cut to who is in the stands that foreign coverage loves or cut to Beckham if he is about over here.

I hate that as well.  Remember the world cup final (France '98) showing repeated shots of Ronaldo's g/f in the stand ffs.

I remember watching several matches a few seasons back where the main cameras seemed to be implementing "Ian Holloway Cam" as they were constantly pointing at him, even when Blackpool or their opposition were on the break. :lol:

They did this when we beat Villa a couple of days ago.  Our team were celebrating together at the final whistle (the radio said it was great scenes), so was looking forward to seeing them all cheering away on Football first, only for when the final whistle went, we had a huge close up of Benteke's ugly mug.

On the Nigeria football forum, someone just suggested that the solution to our problem is to approach Cote D'Ivoire with a 1-4-5 formation. 1-4-5. I think I am done with that place for a bit.

:lol:

Remember that player cam thing Sky used to do? I hated that. Did anyone actually use it?

 

That was about before we ever got Sky in the house. Always felt like I was missing out on something huge when I'd see it advertised.

The chant "One greedy bastard! There's only one greedy bastard!" that greets any former star NUFC player who's moved on recently.

 

For one thing, it's factually incorrect: the problem of greed runs through the whole of the modern game like a cancer....

One thing that has irritated for years -

The press thinking THEIR love affair with Liverpool applies to ALL football fans.

 

I hate them as much as Arsenal. Used to be more, because I grew up in the late 70s/80s. The main problem is that in countries like the US - where people's exposure/commitment to the Premier League is relatively superficial - Liverpool's "mystique" is something for people to get a handle on. Boils my piss.

I've always wondered who decides who gets 'promotion' in the studios. Is it the directors? Is it the Premier League?

internationals in general friendlies in particular.

I just don't give 2 shits about some meaningless match just to make money so some football association (of wherever) chief executive can keep his ridiculously high salary

This forum, it's developed into a "thing", can't stay away for too long, start to get withdrawal symptoms, start worrying about the amount of bolded threads I'll have on my return.

 

Struggling to get fuck all else done in life  :huff:

 

It's like a tardis, once you're inside, it massive, too many places to go and things to read  :undecided:
