What are the most cringe moments you've seen in football?

[The Colonel]

Come on ...

 

[mattcity5]

John Terry being a full kit wanker for the trophy presentation after a final when he didn't play.

 

[mike1923]

Grown men doing Ronaldo’s celebration when he came back to the swamp

 

[Alan Harper's Tash]

Come on ...

 

[mike1923]

Oh and that fist pump routine that Gnashers used to do at Anfield

 

[CΛL]

Wouldn’t know how to find it again but earlier on saw a video of Arsenal fans doing an organised mass dance at their parade, like all doing the same moves at the same time like the cha cha slide or something

 

[mike1923]

Kane appealing to the goals panel to get an extra goal give to him - assume he was going for golden boot but I can’t remember

I went to a wedding last year and all of the grooms mates did an organised dance, it was fucking cringey as fuck

A genuine game-changer -
Sometimes you just have to accept that players you can't stand do change matches. We could do with another one or twtwo

He certainly changed the direction of the league title with his slippy moment

But even then - probably knowing that she was going to be ridiculed - she still felt compelled to do something.

But I realise that many image-conscious owners would have stayed in their seats. I know which type of owner I prefer.

Can only imagine Swales pissed on the pitch at half time at Maine Road

 

[discopop]

Why was that cringe? What's different when Ake does it?

Because once again the rags thought they were getting one over "The Noisy Neighbours" when in reality we were just laughing at them.

 

[IrishBlueSince92]

Ronaldo pretending to cry after Portugal won the Nations League final in a penalty shootout

 

[RayCTID]

Zaza's penalty miss

 

[noseve]

The hard shoulder shitter trying to give it the big un to bobby manc only to be told to shut up and sit down and just looked like a shambling old man as he did so

I'm intrigued - what does this refer to?

 

[normskih]

Someone has made a video montage out of those few things? Hardly cringe / embarrassing moments really, when you take into account the likes of Rivaldo holding his head when the ball touched his knee or that forehead to the forearm business Pogba used to to or even players doing the big “I AM” pointing to their own name on the back of the shirt. Now those are cringe.

Ferguson when he tried it on with Mancini and Roberto didn`t back down and told the old fool to stop mouthing and sit down, when we played them at the Etihad.

 

[citeh94]

Arsenal’s anthem.
Arsenal celebrating a corner like a goal
Arsenal’s tifos (copying City’s i’ll follow you everywhere)
Arsenal’s celebrations after reaching the UCL final
Arsenal celebrating beating us in the community shield after getting 15 added minutes to score

Hehe - thanks. The look of shock on his face suggested that that was the first time that anybody had spoken to him like that for years.

I have to admit to not realising that 'Bobby Manc' meant Mancini :-/ . The few times I've seen it I've always assumed that the poster was referring to some Kippax hero that loads of you knew personally. Pillock.

 

[youngbob]

That's a stretch - he's exactly what we're looking for, right now.

A genuine game-changer - think the Olympiakos goal when they somehow won the CL (having lost 10 league games); his first goal in the final and rousing them, Bernie-like, at 3-1 down; his last-gasp equaliser against West Ham in the FA Cup final.

Sometimes you just have to accept that players you can't stand do change matches. We could do with another one or two.

Imo he lost them as many big games as he won them. Same for England. For every FA Cup final screamer or Olympiakos goal there was a slip or a wayward pass that cost them goals and points at crucial stages. Single-handedly threw away the France game for England at Euro 2004 and then lost Liverpool the 2005 League Cup final on his own. Great player, huge limitations.

Yes its one of our best "Sit down and shut the fuck up" ever moments and yes the look on Fergusons face is a picture never to be forgotten. ;)
Yes he`s been affectionally been given the name Bobby Manc, even when he was at the helm and its a very good coincidence that part of his surname = Manc. ;)
