Football pet hates

[Belfast Mags]

Players "praying" on the pitch before a game.

Seen Ozil at it, drives me nuts.

Papiss and Gael do it as well like, but it's just so

Ten of thousand of dying kids this day you say, no, no Gawd, help me to kick with ball around on the grass first, thanks man, I owe you one.

 

Seriously?

 

Are you serious lol? they are religious don't see what the big deal is.

They are religious thus making them Narcissists, thinking that "God" is somehow going to "help" them to achieve their goals, above and beyond anything else happening at that moment.

 

"Sorry old bean, but could you see your way clear to helping me bang a few goals today as I'm on a bit of a drought right now, cheers, man"

 

 

It's ridiculous and a real pet hate of mine. Honestly, think about for even a second? It's mental.

How do you know they are praying asking to score goals? From what I've read in the past, religious players do it more so to calm themselves before a game and to thank God for the opportunity they have.

Players not being referred to by their usual names because it's not official or whatever. UEFA are slaves to this. A good example is any time "Emboaba" crops up referring to Oscar. On FourFourTwo's StatsZone website, Michu is named "Perez Cuesta".

 

It's more annoying that Michu and Oscar doesn't just have "Cuesta" and "Emboaba" on thier back. Worst offender in my opinion is Chicharito, but that's probably down to my somewhat irrational hate for the guy. The whole first name/nick name scheme should be outlawed.

 

Wilfried.

 

Nah, I don't give a shit what they have on their shirts. Jazz it up imo.

I don't but I'm pretty sure they aren't praying to be shit at what they do 

They're praying, so a magic man that lives in the sky, can help them to perform well at their job.

What a first world problem that is 

[Sifu]

Honestly don't see what the problem is with that like. Bit of an over the top post there Belfast Mags, sorry. If players are religious, so what? That really shouldn't annoy you that much...

[Cajun]

Would much rather have some religious mentalist like Bigi who appreciates what he has and will work hard to 'pay back the gift he has been given' than a twat like Ranger or Pattison who will just piss away their chance.

[Belfast Mags]

Fair enough, religion is pet hates of mine in general so it turning up on a football pitch is just for me.

People "thanking God" for their "good fortune" just strikes me as massively narcissistic, a trait I really really struggle with people having in life (in general)

 

Anyway, got it off my chest, so it's all good

[Cajun]

I'll never forget when he was at Norwich(?),woke up hungover and in a panic as he was late, drove to their training ground in his pants but it was their day off.

[Interpolic]

For some reason that's just reminded me of when Shola rang the police because he thought his house had been burgled but nothing had been stolen and he'd actually just forgotten that he left the place in a total fucking tip.

dear god. Abysmal waste of a time that guy,  played 10 times for us (wiki) only 26 FFS

 

Got pulled over by the police for speeding and done for drink driving iirc

That's a "You fail at failing" moment

[Yorkie]

Crazy that a team containing Pattison, Ramage, Huntington, Edgar and Sibierski actually won a game.

[WarrenBartonCentrePartin]

Referring to Mapou Yanga-Mbiwa as either just "Mbiwa" or "M'Biwa" with the unnecessary apostrophe.

 

It's like calling Ben Arfa just "Arfa".

[Jimburst]

I call him Benny 

[Guest firetotheworks]

I both dislike 'Benny' and call him 'Benny' without being able to stop. I make myself fucking sick.

[Tiresias]

This too 

[WarrenBartonCentrePartin]

I call him Benny 

 

Seen lineups done with just "Arfa" in.  Benny is a nickname, like "Tayls" or "Willo" or "Colo" tbf.

[Guest firetotheworks]

It's affectionate.

[Belfast Mags]

Benny or Ben 10 (only those with young kids will get this reference)

This lad at work, 28 years old, has literally just started following football. Got himself a Leeds season ticket this year and goes with his mate, and knows nothing about football. Like fuck all. His whole football life started at the start of this season, and now I'm getting "Good result for you boys at the weekened. Yorkshire, Yorkshire"

 

:anguish:

 

For a start, you're from Yorkshire, so your opinion on football is already very fucking questionable before you open your mouth. Then there's the fact you've chosen to support Leeds, 28 years in to your life, and actually talk about them. Any other Leeds supporter I know is wise enough to steer clear of conversation about their shambolic club.

 

Now obviously with this fucking game on Wednesday it's all he talks about. I just want to reply with, "You don't have a fucking clue and it's like keeping a kid entertained talking this utter drivel".

 

There should be a rule for 'new' football fans. Nee football patter with any normal football fan for at least 2 years. And if you get told to shut up, know your fucking place and shut up.

I'd just say that, tbh.

[Nobody]

[Super Duper Branko Strupar]

Fucking hate Leeds fans.

[Guest firetotheworks]

Nothing worse than having a conversation about football with someone that hasn't got a fucking clue like. We all argue and debate on here, but there's a base level of knowledge for people on here.

 

There's a great number of people that have no clue and are just in it to wind people up or gloat and hype up on the back of victories, whilst knowing absolutely fucking nothing about any team, including the one they claim to support.
