Football pet hates

[joeyt]

Don't think you realise how sh*t international breaks are until they come around. So boring

[Exiled in Texas]

Players who walk away from the ref when he's clearly calling them back. I'd send the b******s off every time. Disrespectful pricks.

 

Rafael did it the other day. I was shaking with rage.

 

Players have no obligation to go to a referee - for whatever reason the ref deems it desirable.  However, one would think a player would be walking on thin ice for future decisions, if he had walked away from a ref previously.

 

What? Don't the players have to do what the referee says?

 

Yep, players don't actually have to go to the ref, the rules are bit vague around this. A player just has to acknowledge he's recieved whatever punishment the ref has given out, ignoring the ref can be a bookable offence though.

 

Just put into the rules properly like it is in Rugby. Then that's solves it.

 

 

Correct, but failing to acknowledge could also be Dissent (and a second yellow) if the player really wants to push the issue. That's really all the options the referee has. Of course they can hold a grudge through the rest of the game and give the player not protection and no leeway, but that would have the effect of boiling up the game and escalating fouls.

 

Second yellow is the only option if they are being a total scote.

Aye, tis why i said it in that comment. If you missed it like

 

Actually found it has got a better this season from the players, but the parents, jesus they are just simply arseholes.

I saw it.  (just gave it it's proper name   )

 

I liked how you handled the parents with the double touch on the penalty.....look it up and get back to me.  At which point the answer was ..... you were right......, but now you are a c*** who was right.  Hahahahahahh    that's the life of a referee.

fair enough

 

I wasn't trying to be smug or anything with the parents, just wanted to show i got the rules correct. Unfortunately where i am there are certain teams from certain areas where the parents are a nightmare. While the kids are ok, as they get older they start to reflect how their parents behaved. It can get a bit naughty then. It's such a sad and ridiculous situation.

Generally, the players will reflect the coaches demeanor, and so will the parents (although to a lesser extent as there is less direct control over them).

 

But if the players could play withou coaches or parents it would be great.

I feel a bit for the journalists. Until the match day they have to write stories on the back of a clichéd press conference from someone like Frank Lampard. The main story the next day will be about someone sitting out a training session!

Brendan Rodgers

[NG32]

football clubs whose kits take on the colours of their sponsors. Usually away kits.

 

Selling your soul!

 

See Stoke City and that Spanish 3rd division side.  Im sure there are a few more.

[WarrenBartonCentrePartin]

Brendan Rodgers

 

Amen.  It's the clichéd lingo that goes with him, too.  "Philosophy", "Style", "Project".

He's not just a pet hate. He's ants at a picnic.

Probably already been done but "friendship" shirts or scarfs, I mean really, I saw loads of Celtic Barca ones at that game in crowd, ffs why? It's like desperately trying to suck up to the cool kid who wanders past you at school for 10 minutes and then telling all your mates how he said you were a cool dude.

kinda agree but depends on the standing of the club in question. I'm not bothered when a small club down the divisions or in a weak league and needing cash would sell those kind of scarfs if playing a prem side in a friendly but Celtic should be better than that.

[Ste]

The number of times Southgate says "there's no question about that."

[Belfast Mags]

How much a bad result/poor performance effects my mood. 

 

 

[AyeDubbleYoo]

Chris Waddle, Adrian Chiles, Alan Green, Andy Townsend.

Oh God, yes. One of the things I like about being in the US is that I can hide away from football for a week after the bad ones.

[maybe_next_year]

The increase in away fans having smoke bombs/flares. Seen it with Man U, Sunderland, Liverpool and now Everton. They look wank.

 

Liverpool with their banger and now the Spurs incidend this weekend. don't see why they've suddenly become so popular.

[Dr Colossus]

The Youtube videos of 'The True Geordie'. Being forthright about your opinions does not make them any more accurate.

[TheHoob]

"Take a bow son" x1000 on Facebook when someone scores a good goal.

[Fugazi]

"Tekkers"

[Tiresias]

Probably been said loads but stupid fucking sci-fi studios with lots of lights and random crap. What's wrong with just a normal fucking room.

[AyeDubbleYoo]

"Tekkers"

 

I quite like that TBH.

[Dr Colossus]

Probably been said loads but stupid f***ing sci-fi studios with lots of lights and random crap. What's wrong with just a normal f***ing room.

 

I sincerely hope the little pitch BT have introduced doesn't catch on. It was so homoerotic on MOTD the week after when they got all reactionary and Shearer had to demonstrate how to defend a corner.
