Football pet hates

Martin Tyler's arrogance when he says "and it's liiiive!" as if it's the greatest catchphrase on earth, and everything about West Ham - "the West Ham Way", the stupid bubbles, the cringey song, the only plus side is that Karren Brady is a milf 

 

Have you seen her daughter  :kasper:

She's a proper ugly pig and an irredeemable cunt. I'd rather shag a threshing machine.

Co-commentator wondering for which team Lascelles will play next season within two minutes of me turning on the broadcast. Just fuck off, one of many things that have made me lose so much interest in the PL. Does every non-top 6 fan have to be constantly reminded how fucking small, pitiful and insignificant their team is?

Not just the non-top 6 either. We probably get this more than any oher team.

Today after the match there were a kid of Man Utd fans (a lot of them appearing to be students, and I doubt actually went to the game) just standing outside the main entrance underneath the Milburn stand at full time. They were standing in inconviant places and not just in a line behind the security barriers. As a result this caused a huge hold up for fans leaving the ground as only 1 or 2 could squeeze past them at a time. This isn’t the first time fans have sat outside for autographs after a match, but it’s often just a couple who don’t get in the way. This time it was a real problem and the stewards were just standing there. I think in future he club needs to organise this better. There is enough time between the match ending and the players leaving the ground for those fans to be held elsewhere out of the way instead of getting in the way of a huge crowd.

The protection of media darlings Kane and Alli despite the fact that they dive repeatedly and win penalties vs the rest of the league who either don't get them or get hammered for clear dives

 

I agree with this completely. It's staggering how blinkered some people can be.  Exceptional talents, yes. Blatant cheats, absolutely. Just because they're English shouldn't excuse them from being criticised for cheating, particularly Harry Kane.

Out of interest - if the media are protecting Kane and Alli, who exactly aren't they protecting?

 

To be honest I'm not the slightest bit bothered about Kane, Alli etc. 'diving' or 'cheating'. Not impressed with Smalling taking a tumble yesterday, Alli, or whoever - it's a bit ridiculous, but can appreciate what their trying to do. They get booked, and shown up on TV to be a tit - leave it at that.

 

I'm of the firm opinion that if a defender or goalkeeper is putting themselves in the situation that they can be taken advantage, basically by not convincingly winning the ball - it's fair game if the forward finds contact and gets a foul. Surely it's the evolution of the game, leading from an offensive sense. Defenders and goalkeepers  especially need to evolve in how they defend when they know there is a risk of giving away contact without getting the ball. 

 

It's not like it's been going on for decades either. 10 years ago, without 24 hour news coverage on football, nobody worried nor cared about who would win a penalty at the weekend. You'd see it a couple of times highlighted on Match of the Day, probably concede the fact that Bellamy (for example) went down a bit easy against whatever mid 00s goalkeeper (Schwarzer), won a penalty. That was it.

Because it makes a mockery of the game, some players are better at engineering a foul than others.  Vardy, Kane, Alli, Sturridge are all fine exponents of throwing a leg toward a defender, diving and winning penalties.  Often the defender has done nothing wrong so following your argument they would not be able to go within a metre of the attacker as it might result in a penalty.  Defending is a skill that should not include a 'beware of the cheat' warning. That to me is not what football is about and it shouldn't be considered a virtue that you can 'win' penalties.

 

Its cheating, some get dug out for it, others get praised for it.
