      The Little Things in Football That Annoy You.
      Mar 16, 2013 11:00:30 pm
      Just a thread for the minor things that irritate you when watching football.

      The first one that annoys the hell out of me for some reason is footballers wearing short sleaves and gloves.

      Surely you're either cold or you're not.

      Commentators do it all the time Cas. Townsend is the chief culprit.

      Another is Shearer holding a pen on MOTD.

      What the F**k is he ever going to write down on a pre prepared highlights show?

      Commentators generally annoy me but especially when they just chat aimlessly to each other and not actually commentate.  Who ever had the idea to have two commentators wants f**king sacking!

      Footballers not being ready when coming on as subs, ie: not wearing correct top or having trouble with their bibs.

      Maybe that sometimes football drives you to drink. ;)


      One for me would be ITV's employment of andy townsend, I know it's free but there really are better commentators than that. Another would be skys constant need to make a mole hill into a mountain, the most recent being the demise of English football because there 'isn't an English team left in the Champions League.

      Yes sky, football is dead. Now organise a F***ing funeral.  >:(

      Commentators.

      Imagine if someone was watching a game in your living room and describing everything that happened? You'd tell them to shut the F**k up.

      Hahahaha that fat sky reporter w**ker Bryan Swanson asking one of the Uefa lot whether it was a shame no English clubs were involved after the Champions League draw on Friday. They really are embarrassing cu*ts at times!

      Professional footballers who can't get a corner past the first man.

      Plenty of culprits in our own squad for that one.

      Taking a throw in about 5 yards ahead of where the ball actually went out. Pisses me off seeing a player walk to the right spot and then going for a bloody stroll halfway down the touchline before he actually throws it.

      Short corners. 99 times out of 100 it's a horrible waste of a set piece opportunity.

      How the referee will wait until the ball has been booted in the air before blowing for full time off goal kicks.

      The short sleeves & wearing gloves has always narked me, also what's with all the ridiculous dances after a goal, + another one when a goal is scored and a player tries to stop the team from getting ball to restart, totally barmy, ref will start game when he's ready not if you run back to centre with ball. :mad:

      Most pundits. Tend to only watch games that are must watch games nowadays.

      I actually think if I seen Lawro in the street I'd punch him in the eye.

      Running back to the halfway line with the ball when you've scored

      All that handstand celebration sh*te

      Walls creeping forward at set pieces

      Red card + penalty for a professional foul in the box - double punishment is way too unfair

      Saw David Dunn come on as a sub for Blackburn, he did not have a shirt or shorts on, what the F**k, players who appeal for everything knowing full well they got the last touch, i could go on for days so i may return with a list.
