Football pet hates

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.

When everyone just copies the one chant.  It was "he scores when he wants".

 

Now seems Cum On Feel The Noize is going down that route.  Man Utd sang it, heard a version at the SoS today and now heard one at Swansea-Stoke.

 

Ours is for Altidore

Jeff Stelling and soccer saturday...kinda getting on my tits now.

 

It's the constant screaming thats the thing........he's just done it when announcing the Everton goal.

 

unneccesary imo and getting really annoying.

far too excitable, too loud, too much shouting, too garbled....

 

All in all a real turn off.
