Stupid little things that bug you

Why do we need to know which way a team is attacking anyway? It's not we ever hear, "And there goes Sergio Aguero on a mazy run, leaving midfielders and defenders in his wake as he bears down on the opposition goal on the right hand side of the pitch".

I don't think the commentators mention it after the kick off. I think they set the scene as the match gets underway.

If you're not at the match but are familiar with the stadium, you can picture it from the commentary box.

If a commentator says "kicking from left to right" at City, Tottenham or Liverpool, I know they are playing towards the South Stand, big single tier at Spurs or the Kop. If he says kicking from right to left at Old Trafford, I know they're attacking the Stretford End in the first half.

That was my point mate. I don't feel that I would be missing anything by not knowing which way they were attacking.
They can set the scene by telling us the state of the pitch and weather conditions.
Anyway, not exactly something that bothers me as I got rid of my wireless long ago.

So why doesn't he just say 'Attacking the Stretford End', it doesn't matter to me whether its to HIS right or left, thats completley irrelevent

Any more and I'll be throwing this laptop in the river

Will you be throwing it right to left or left to right?

Now that takes me back although infiltration was better than an all out attack across the pitch.

Precisely, radio commentary is for people who aren't there and who take the commentator's perspective as their own.

Is that the same as 'the rags are kicking from the main stand towards the gpc stand, now back to the main stand, Shaw holds the ball whilst he has a bite of his pie before playing it back to the gpc stand ?
 
"... so good, so good, so good", whenever Sweet Caroline is sung

Likewise "and on, and on, and on and on and on" for "Oh when the......." is sung

Really makes my shit itch

People who believe Edward II was murdered by having a red hot poker shoved up his arse. It's a myth, as the best historians of the period now agree.

What is worse is people who find the myth amusing. If you are amused by the notion of rape you are a sick puppy.

The myth isnt amusing much like all the other tortures they used to inflict years ago. İt allegedly happened at Berkely castle not far from us.
 
It bugs me when I don’t time getting to the last tooth on a row with the electric toothbrush stutter or getting to the end of the toothbrush cycle before I’ve finished all my teeth.
 
When they get footballers to clap at the start of an interview
 
My brother gets enraged at the sight of footballers playing with their socks pulled up over their knees.
I don't know why. I know no one else who finds this annoying.
 
The constant claim, made by TV commentators, that so-and-so "Has made history" by being the youngest, oldest, fastest, most medals won etc. etc. They have set a new record which will eventually be broken by someone new, no doubt with the "Made History" tag. Is everyone therefore a history maker?
"Team GB are the first country in history to equal the medal haul of their home Olympics" -just how crass is that!
 
When there’s a line of parking bays parallel to the kerb and the twats that have got there before you dont go right up to the edge of it thus reducing the number of cars that can fit in it. Absolute knob heads.

That henry is far too friendly looking for a domestic appliance.
The constant smile is a little unsettling, It's like it's taking the piss somehow.
I kicked mine in the face and peeled its stickers off, wasn't so cocky then.
