Things that have "No Place in Football"

[The Spanish]

Just saw that phrase on the Bellamy thread and it always makes me smile. For such a morally bankrupt game its remarkable how high handed people can be about completely expected idiocy.

What has 'no place in football' for you?

I would say

• after goal music
  
• people saying 'these idiots arent real fans'
  
• line ups shaking hands like its the world cup final (unless it is)
  
• MK Dons

any more?

• when a player is fouled and then they wave the imaginary red/yellow card at the ref
• diving and looking at the ref as they fall to the ground
• kissing the badge during goal celebrations

The ridiculus use of one mascot per player in international matches.. I'm sure as an eight year old I want to stand in front of 60,000 on a pitch with someone stinking of sweat and Ralgex with their hands holding me in place.

The heartland of football. The 21st centurys equivalent of a Lancashire mill town, a North East pit village or a 50's east end bombsite, I would say. You watch, the next generation of English football fan will come out of Reigate.
