WarrenBartonCentrePartin Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 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. 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. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest firetotheworks Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 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.

Ameritoon Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 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. I agree to some extent that its , 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. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jill Posted October 26, 2013 Share Posted October 26, 2013 I hate sports bandwagon people generally, boxing is one of the worst for people using it as an excuse to drink. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Haris Vuckic Posted October 26, 2013 Share Posted October 26, 2013 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.

Super Duper Branko Strupar Posted October 26, 2013 Share Posted October 26, 2013 Even though it's "correct" the term Wear/Tyne derby just really annoys me Someone said this on Twitter yesterday. Backed it up with the fact the region is called Tyne and Wear. Not sure it really matters. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deuce Posted October 26, 2013 Share Posted October 26, 2013 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. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jdckelly Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 mentioned once or twice else where but since this is the thread for it, the term "football hipsters" no idea how the hell this has gotten so prevalent but the sooner it goes away the better.

hithere Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 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.

Neil Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 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.

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.
