Football pet hates

When a team improves after half time and commentators come out with "there must have been some harsh words at halftime" as if criticising players and shouting at them is the only way to possibly get a reaction as a manager. It's such a prehistoric, British outlook on things. Your team's playing shit? Shout "You're shit!" and watch them flourish.

Obsession with attendances. Especially us at the minute. Fucking hell - yes we re still getting 50 odd thousand, lets all pat ourselves on the back, but stop fucking going on about it every single day

Staggered run ups to penalties. Always shit, hate them.

 

They're fucking awful. Without any data to back this claim up, they're much more likely to miss.

 

Zaza in the World Cup was the most beautiful failure. A major victory for the old fashioned run up and blast.

Commentators and pundits who say that contact and falling over = free kick and a player is entitled to go down. 

 

Cheats charter and totally wrong, contact should be sufficient to make you fall or stumble otherwise it becomes a non contact sport.

I would add impede to that. If clearly stops a player getting to the ball.

It also annoys me when they seem to think that a player going down but it not being a foul MUST mean that the player dived and should be booked, as there are only 2 possibilities.

Nowt better than Shearer's technique of placing the ball, turn around 90 degrees, walk to the edge of the box, turn around, sprint up to the ball and absolutely welly it into one of the corners
