Stupid little things that bug you

Football commentators that apologise every time a swear word is picked up by one of the microphones really get on my nerves. It's not like they're responsible for someone on the touchline swearing so why the fuck do they feel the need to apologise.

Everyone watching should know that people swear at football matches and anyone that would get upset by a swear word not followed by an immediate apology by someone else should get a new hobby.

I hate that n’all. Nobody cares about a bit of swearing at the footy, if they do then football isn’t the sport for them.

Ten seconds after the commentator says this you always hear the crowd chanting “you’re fucking shit, you’re fucking shit!” anyway so what’s the point?

They should be apologising for all the spitting they all do, now that’s proper fucking disgusting. Only angin cunts with no class spit in public. But a bit of bad language, nobody’s bothered.

My Father used to tell me when I was 6 that I could join in with the songs even the swear words at City but that it was for the football ground and the football ground only… and it was until my teenage years really. I still don’t really swear in front of Mother as she thinks it’s beneath us to swear when we can articulate in other ways… but she’s still not arsed about swearing at the footy and has partaken herself a few times.

More and more of this is creeping in; seemingly, by the day. I can’t stand it!

There’s a prevalence of this “be like” shit n’all. “My Thursday mornings be like…” - err, that doesn’t make fucking sense pal!

And things like “it take two minutes to brush your teeth before bed” - “take”, fucking “take”?! It’s “TAKES”. There’s an ‘s’ at the end of takes otherwise it makeS no bloody sense!

Since when has sounding like an American hillbilly with three teeth, a bad mullet, who sleeps with his sister, been fashionable?
 
Clubs who suddenly fill their grounds for a cup tie or big game , then suddenly pronounce their fans are the best in the world. See Stockport getting over 10k last and buzzing their tits off about it . No mention of where these extra 4k have been hiding for the last 5 years.

To be fair to the hillbillies with mullets, the examples you cite are more black culture than hillbilly.

Just sayin’ ;-)

People saying "done" when they should say "did". Half the pundits on MOTD are guilty of this. Perhaps they left school at about 13 yrs to play football 24/7, but even so it is such basic English and really not difficult to get the hang of, is it? Or is it just me who really gets wound up by this? I cringe every time I hear it.

‘Infant English’

My 7 year old Nephew has recently grown out of using “done” instead of “did”. He’s not a particularly gifted child, quite standard really. He’s 7 and has a reading age of 7. But he now knows when to use the correct word for the past tense of do.

Anyone older than this who doesn’t (not “don’t”!) understand this past age of about 7 - okay, I’ll give them a year’s grace and say 8 - should be described as someone who speaks ‘Infant English’, and it should be seen as a speech impediment that needs correcting.

Any adults who speak like this should be ashamed of themselves! These football pundits on tele sound like idiots. Automatically makes me think, if they’re that thick I’m not going to take a blind bit of notice of their opinions.

Really? Whenever I see or hear this, I immediately think of Cletus Spuckler off The Simpsons.

Weather presenters.

KEEP YOUR FUCKING HANDS STILL.

Stop blocking the north west with your hands and arms, at the time I need to know what the weather's going to be like, especially when they say "we're in for a changeable day".

Fools

I have no idea why they are even on the screens. Surely they just need their voice over the images?

They either get in the way with daft movements, or they’re fit as fuck and you just watch them and take no notice of the weather!

Totally agree, if kids are exposed to this sort of language then almost certainly they are going to mimic it, especially if they are interested in sport or music. Football pundits for sure are that thick on the whole, we know the usual suspects of course.

Keown during last night's match between Bolton and Stockport was a great case in point! "The boy done well" - "They play it long and then build the play" just a couple of the idiotic statements.

Agreed. Happens all the time with commentary when City play a lower league team in the cup. The commentators go on about how great the fans are but when they’re playing in their league and for 49 games out of 50, there’s often 60%-70% less of them and it’s dead.

And were not most of those 'Bolton' fans regulars at the Etihad - they seem to have fucked off halfway through second half of ET.
