Convict Posted December 22, 2023 Share Posted December 22, 2023 24 minutes ago, Colos Short and Curlies said: Players and managers putting their hands over their mouths when talking. Agreed. I can understand it in American football where the opposition lip reader transmitted what play was coming next. In any other football what do they need to hide.

SEMTEX Posted December 23, 2023 Share Posted December 23, 2023 Mostly an American pet hate here, but games being on a different channel to the build up show. I inevitably watch ten minutes of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows rather than the first ten minutes of the game. Now you could make the point that I’m an idiot, which can’t be refuted, but it’s my pet hate and I’m sticking with it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

brummie Posted December 28, 2023 Share Posted December 28, 2023 The absolute spurious use of the word “football” in the term “the football club”, which is usually used by ex players in the media because they think it makes them sound clever. Saw Michael Dawson interviewed the other day and he did it about eight times in two minutes. “He’s come into the football club and turned things around”. “This could be very important for the football club”. JUST SAY “CLUB”. We know you don’t mean the working man’s club, the cricket club or the fucking Christmas club. You don’t have to specify which “club” you’re talking about. I remember posting similar on this thread about fifteen years ago and it still really really pisses me off. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

leffe186 Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 Football highlights/review shows that put the final score up at the beginning of each match. Sky do this for their SPL/lower league reviews.

Lush Vlad Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 Fantasy Football. Not the game itself. But how it has now become such a part of the mainstream. Maybe it’s been that way for a while and I never noticed. But I remembered thinking it was odd that FF was such a big thing over in America for the NFL. It seemed huge over there and formed part of the coverage all the while. Never thought it was the case over here. But SSN, radio shows and podcasts are all over it now. I’m listening to a review piece from the day’s games and there’s a load of bollocks on about whether or not I should triple captain Erling Haaland.

I know people that Im sure used to be big football fans that now care more about their FPL teams than the teams they actually support. Added to that, the leaks, the podcasts and everything around it has just become way too big. Can't have a league with some mates now without some checking for FPL leaks or someone following some twitter cunt who spend way too much time analysing five gameweeks ahead. It should be a fun complement to watching the game, something to make Everton - Palace a bit more interesting, feel like it's on it's way to becoming bigger than football itself.

Boey_Jarton Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 (edited) Agree fantasy football is ridiculous these days. Immediately switch off when my mates discuss who they have triple captained this week. Showing my age but I remember when you had to send a self addressed envelope to the Daily Telegraph to submit your team and transfers. I also remember some newspapers operated with both the premier league and Scottish league in the same competition. Think it might have been the Times. You could pick up Marco Negri for £1.5m and he was banging in 3 goals a game against the likes of Patrick Thistle.

"Match of the Day follows shortly so if you don't want to know the scores, switch over now. Manchester City extended their lead at the top of the table..." with no pause. (Previously if you don't want to know the scores, look away now. They wouldn't talk about it) Edited February 20 by Optimistic Nut Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
