What really annoys you in football? - Things that get up your nose

The Premiership - General Discussion

Postby stmichael » Mon Jan 17, 2005 6:04 pm

I'm sure you all have things that really get up your nose in football. As much as we all love the game there are certain things which just get up my nose. Here below are some of the things that do my head in.

Roman Abramovich.

Fans who sing 'Sign on' to the tune of YNWA, as if they think they're really being witty.

Pointless stats and ancient comparisons.

Peter Kenyon.

Harry Redknapp saying 'For sure' every time he means 'Yes' - as if his native language was Spanish or Italian.

The phrase: 'He might have been disappointed by that!'

Sky Sports News showing a live interview, and then repeating everything that the interviewee has just said.

Coloured boots.

Badge kissers.

Sky using boxing commentators for football matches.

Southern celebrity Manc supporters, such as weather girls, fat morning TV presenters and Angus Deayton.

Mike Riley

Half-time 'entertainment'.

UEFA-directed pre-match faffing about, such as line-ups and German music.

Andy Gray saying 'I have to say'.

Freddie Shepherd and all of the other self-admiring 'we're the best, us geordies, we're smashing!' so-called loyal fans.

'Comedy' mascots.

Trevor Francis redescribing what's just happened and trying to pass it off as 'analysis'.

Seaman's ponytail, closely followed by the ar$eh*le underneath.

Music played whenever the home team scores.

ITV.

Paul Merson unburdening himself of his latest addiction, anxieties and opinions.

Paul Gascoigne doing the same.

Pat Nevin doing anything.

East Anglia in its entirety.

Screaming women at matches, especially those at Highbury.

Anyone who says they aim to get a result - you'll always get a result, numpty, the point is whether it is a good or bad one.

Anyone on Sky who praises Sky, especially Richard Keyes and Rodney Marsh.

Black, grey or green kits.

Pukka-Pies.

Darren Purse.

Stupid coloured footballs.

Defenders who get away with shirt-pulling at corners and shepherding the ball over the line by forming a star shape and just standing there.

Stupid goal celebrations.

Paddy Crerend.

Tim Lovejoy sucking his own saliva after he's particularly pleased with what he's just said (in other words, after everything he's said.)

The city of Manchester.

Everton Football Club.

That's all folks  :D

Great post, not much to add.

Players who are past it and taking a step down and saying "its a massive club, a sleeping giant etc"

and players pretending they have always admired the club they are signing for - we know you're here for the cash.

Manchester United.

Real Madrid.

Everton.

Players not being allowed to go near goalkeepers.  They have got too much protection.

1.Alex Ferguson-why does the camera always pan to him when they score -that RILES me.
   2. Robbie Savage,the way he runs about having wee sly digs.
   3.Duncan Disorderly Ferguson,loopin about with the coat-hanger still in his shirt.
   4. Mike Riley.
   5. Diouff/rooney one for his spitting blood bad attitude and the other for just spitting .

i agree that can be very off-putting for the penalty taker. :(

incidentally, wayne rooney was so ugly when he was young,  his mum had to use a slingshot to feed him when she was breastfeeding! :D  :D  :D

i hate it when a player goes to take a throw in and then decides to waste time and his collegue runs over to take the throw. now bear in mind the first player has already shaped to take the thow, he changes his mind and decides to waste time and throws the ball under arm to his colleague, surely this is a foul throw

The disappearance of the obstruction rule ,i:e when a player makes no attempt to play the ball but just puts his body in the way to prevent another player from getting to it .
