leffe186 Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 I'd say it's more annoying when the scorer gets a fantastic assist and runs off like he did it all himself. Both are s*** tbh. I can't remember ever scoring a goal/assisting without wanting to celebrate with the relevant team-mate, unless we were doing the grab-the-ball-and-restart-sharpish thing.

joeyt Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 Players ushering the ball out for goalkicks resulting in the attacker trying to wrap their leg around the defender to keep it in and both ending on the floor looking like a right mess Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Colossus Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 When a player gets an assist then runs off in a different direction to the goalscorer celebrating as if he'd scored it himself. A very good one. Apart from Shola's flick on from the corner in the 5-1, that was hilarious. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Colossus Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 Will probably have been mentioned, but: Goalscorers pushing away teammates just so they can do a s*** dance move celebration. c***s. http://www4.pictures.zimbio.com/gi/Daniel+Sturridge+Liverpool+v+Swansea+City+x5tIIOiTU79l.jpg This is the fucking truth though.

loki679 Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 Loved Nobby. He could strike a ball so sweetly. I remember a goal he scored, I think it was against Villa, it dropped to him on the edge of the box and he just drilled it perfectly. After the match the Villa manager (either Gregory or O'Leary, can't remember) said something like 'I saw it dropping and just thought, not him, of all the players why did it drop to him?'.

Guest firetotheworks Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 When players that score about 3-10 goals a season on average do that 'it ain't no thang' celebration as if it's no big deal. It is mate, you rarely score...because you're not that good. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest firetotheworks Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 It's quite an obvious one, but the simplicity of football punditry. If you're not Gary Neville, you're pretty much anyone with eyes. Shearer and Hansen generally just play show and tell every Saturday and then describe things as good or bad. It's absolute garbage and now that we have someone like Neville, there should be efforts made to provide much more insight on other programmes. Redknapp, Hansen, Lawrenson, Shearer, Dixon, et al aren't making any real effort. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They should show us smaller things that didn't make the highlights, instead of just repeating what we've already seen 5 minutes earlier and saying, "Yeah, this was dead good, like".

I actually think Barton might be quite good. I know he divides opinion but he is forthright with his views, would call a spade a spade and if popular, would do a lot to break the current hegemony.

AyeDubbleYoo Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 The problem is that most footballers know very little about tactics and the bigger picture about why a team has won or lost. Combined with the need to promote/jizz over whichever team or player is flavour of the month. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shays Given Tim Flowers Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 I don't really care for in depth tactical discussion, certainly not from a commentator. It would just be nice to have someone call things properly, like dives, fouls etc. Really slate players. Also if coverage could be less big club biased it would be considerably more enjoyable.

Watching the cricket, I feel as if I'm learning more about the game, as well as being interested and entertained. Never felt that way with Peter Beagrie. I know what you mean but i think it's because cricket isn't as popular played so it's interesting to know when Shane Warne is choosing which ball is best out of box of balls or Strauss is showing you where your positioning of feet should be at the crease for certain types of bowls. Imagine Alan Shearer getting up in the studio showing the audience how a penalty should be taken. Just be cringe worthy. Was like when Andy Gray used to get up with Richard Keys then just grab his shirt of wraggle him all over the place showing how tight defenders should be.
