Football pet hates

I'm hearing so many people (ok, women) who usually have no interest in football talk about their plans for watching the derby. Just an excuse to get tarted up and be in the pub at 10am. :anguish:

 

Yes, yes, yes and fucking yes!!!

 

2 lasses in the local last Sunday were discussing their plans.  The place I heard them decide upon, I know for a fact doesn't show any football.  Don't even think there's screens for that matter.

It's even worse when they ask you to join them, you say no and then they start going on about what you should be doing, despite that being the only match of the year that they watch, let alone go out for.

I agree to some extent that its :anguish:, but TBH, I do the same for a lot of other stuff which im sure if you think about it, you do too.

 

Same. There's a lot of shit I don't really care about but will use as an excuse to get fucked up/day drink. I don't mind it when others do the same to the stuff I like, just adds to the spectacle. From what I can tell at least, the derby is more than a football game, it's an even for the whole region.

I don't think it's just women mind Jill.

 

There's plenty of blokes who say nowt all year round & then try and lecture people around derby week.

 

''Say nowt'' being my mantra in such cases.

Obscure, un-important players going by single names. Ronaldo, Ronaldinho, Xavi, etc. Fine, all great players. Seems like your average Brazilian (and Spaniard to a lesser extent) feels it's an entitlement for him to go by a single name.

After the derby the regular jokes (from both sides) player x can't be found because he's still in player y's pocket

 

To be fair we won and even I can't stand this. 'Cabaye was in Colbacks pocket' Was he mate? Tell that to the 15 shots or so he had from distance and the fact he had an age to pick out Ben Arfa for the goal.

Players who are so one-sided they'd rather very awkwardly use their stronger foot when using the other foot would be so much easier, and ultimately you end up wasting a chance because of it.

Referees playing advantage just because the team have kept possession. Sometimes the teams best attacker is taken out so its not really an advantage

 

Referees blowing for offside when the ball goes through to the Goalkeeper anyway.

What is the rule about this?  Can the play go on, or does it need to be brought back?

You can play on but i think most refs blow as the ball is 15/20/25 yards further forward if the offside is given. Most teams either go long with the free kick which the GK can do if he had it, or go short and again the Gk can pass it short.

 

It really is just the extra yards that make 99% of refs blow for it imo.
