Modern game annoyances.

[Deleted member 58678]

I love football but there is a gigantic amount of the game that is just fucking shit. This sport should be so much better than it actually is. If I can remember everything I hate about it it'll be in this list but I'm sure I'll forget as there is just so much!

Here's my list:
Players feigning injury.
Players diving.
Players running around the ref to have a go.
Players other than the captain being allowed to talk to the ref.
Players swearing at officials.
Players squaring up to each other thinking they're hard as nails but couldn't fight to save their lives.
There's not enough biff in the game - the game is too soft, the players are too soft, the fans have become too soft and want fouls and booking for tiny little infringements.
The game has become a soft lads/tarts game and the fans are nearly as bad.
Kicking the ball out when someone is injured or "injured".
Players waving their arms around when one of their players is injured or "injured" to get the other team to kick the ball out.
Players having to leave the pitch after having treatment.
Players on a team all shouting "HEY!" dead loud in unison when they want a foul for fuck all.
When high feet is given as a free kick in a non-dangerous situation.
Constant time wasting.
Refs doing fuck all about time wasting.
No video ref (we need it for red card/no red card; penalty/no penalty decisions when the ref isn't 100% sure what the decision should be...as well as keeping this goal line technology that's recently come in).
All seater stadiums.
No Safe Standing.
Showsec telling everyone to sit down.
Showsec picking out individuals because they're easy targets.
The no smoke bombs and flares rules.
Fans having a moan or being scared of smoke bombs and flares.
Kick off times before 15:00.
Sunday games.
Monday night games.
Ticket prices being fucking ridiculous.
The complete lack of atmosphere in English football.
The diminishing numbers of working class fans in the stands (football now lies between darts and rugby league at the working class end, and rugby union at the posher suburbs end of the sporting spectrum (with equestrian, polo and sailing even further into the middle classes).
The supposed best days of the season outside major semis and finals - the derby - being made into a shit game because pubs are shut and kick off times are either too early on a Sat/Sunday or they're on a weeknight.
The overindulgence of football in the media in England.
The way the media don't put enough emphasis on all these shit things about the game.
When fans moan about media bias towards certain clubs.
Unbelivevable prices of kits considering the sustandard quality of the garments.
Footballers. Loads of them are proper cûnts! Especially English players, a lot of whom think they're some sort of gangster because they've got money.
How disappointed I've been with the Champions League - it's an overrated competition and it's more about money than prestige now.
At City - the stupid chit-chat from three no-marks whose opinion I have no interest in, the stupid 'thirty seconds to win it' game before kick off, the stupid Blue Moon before kick off with someone on the pitch that nobody wants to listen to.
"Sit down"!
"You're fucking shit Kolarov" - as he puts a great cross into the box ten seconds later.
Foreign fan boys who aren't interested in City, just their player.
Americans, they're odd and seem to be on forums and at games talking rubbish a lot these days.
Rags, they're cûnts n'all. Proper cûnts!

I'm sure there's a lot more.

Modern football isn't rubbish. The game is still great and it's a game I love but there is too much wrong with it and it would be easy to make this sport absolutely amazing if those^ things were made better or fucked off.

Commentators who don't know the rules of the game.

A prime example is where they say it isn't a pen because the attacking player doesn't have control of the ball.

Fans that dont know we have Laws of the game and rules of competitions :-)

I think that pretty much wraps it up and ties a little bow around it. Bravo mate!

When a player passes or clears the ball and catches a player on the follow through. This is increasingly being given as a foul against the challenging player.

Also squealing. I know there are more mikes around the pitch than there used to be but when did men squealing like a girl become acceptable ?

 

[greasedupdeafguy]

Teams that play music when they score. Stadium announcers that sound like comperes off T.V talent shows.

I would have to walk away if we started that shit,I cant even cope with the pre match bollox at the moment but at least they have got rid of that shit Bluemoom version as we kick off.

They were thinking about, they asked if people thought it would improve the atmosphere in a survey. People quite rightly said fuck off.

Didn't used to mind that blue moon over the tannoy just before kick off, its the singer on the pitch that does my head. Just wants to make you go and hide somewhere.

Agree with them all apart from video technology.
What da fuck is that minute to win it quiz all about? Remember one of them where a guy couldn't name more than 5 ex city players.

Ah squealing, forgot about that. That's arguably the worst of the lot to be honest! You could walk up to a little girl with a cricket bat and smash her in the shins and she wouldn't make as much of a squealing noise as footballers do when they get the slightest little knock on the leg.

And that stupid flicking of the fingers some of them do as if they're saying "ooh look at me I'm in pain" *flick flick flick* "ooh look at me I'm wanking off a dog" *flick flick flick*.
