Present Day Football, Fans and Any Other Stuff You Hate About It!

[Tbilisi]

Players going out of their way to celebrate in front of home fans then crying when something happens.

 

[Dave Ewing's Back 'eader]

Professional footballers who are encouraged, although too many of them don't need too much encouragement, to cheat their way through ninety mins - injuries, timewasting, etc, and all after the 'fair play handshake'!

The media coverage of the game.

The arbitration of the game

The governance of the game

Red shirt cartel

The Americanisation of the game

Uefa

Fifa.

 

[Chris Holmes]

Teams like Spurs, Utd, Brighton, Everton, Palace pulling their tripes out when they play City, then playing rubbish the game after.

That Norwich game a couple of years ago was a prime example. They beat us 3-2 then I think came 20th. Just fcking annoying,

You missed the rags in that list. Lost every game since their cup final win over likkle Citeh

 

[RayCTID]

The oversaturation of it all.

 

[Boris Yeltsin]

I dont like that we don't have a proper song for Phil Foden after all the titles and accolades he's won as a local lad. Would really help at a time like now when his morale is low.

 

[I'm With Stupid]

Full-backs trying to gain a couple of metres when taking throw-ins rather than take them quickly.

Is anyone more indecisive than Kyle Walker from a throw in?

 

[mancboy]

Overly hostile receptions for opposing team busses.

Pundits who struggle to string a sentence together.

Constant booing of opposition players when in posssession (don't expect this one to be popular).

Plus opposition players (including captains!) overtly trying to put players off before penalties.

While I'm at it, pre-prepared goal celebrations as distinct from McAtee's spontaneous reaction to his non-goal the other day.

Full-backs trying to gain a couple of metres when taking throw-ins rather than take them quickly.

Full-backs who aim for the winger's head - for a flick-on - when (eventually) taking throw-ins.

But the killer for me is VAR.

This and same with free kicks as well, see a free kick happen in the opposition area and they end up taking it on the half way line.
