In the world of football, what makes you CRINGE?

[Eddiespearritt]

Away team substitutes who leave the field very.......very.......slowly and stop to clap their fans half way through the departure - why aren't they yellow carded ?

The announcer at the Amex who insists on telling us the half-time score ten seconds after it has just finished - is there someone who might not know ??

You're shit Aaaaaaaaaaaargh aimed at the opposition goalkeeper, especially if the aaaaarrrg goes on for ages.

Mexican Waves with the boos when a section can't be arsed to do it

 

[OzMike]

Players diving and constant over reaction to being fowled, slows the game up no end.

 

[GreersElbow]

Bloody hell, how has no one mentioned Robbie Savage?

These thread seems to have moved away from things that make you cringe to things you don't like about football

Someone needs to tell Garth Crooks he looks a bit, well weird, when he stares into the camera when doing the BBC Red button footy round-up on a Saturday afternoon

That would be for the 5000 people who left their seats 5/10 minutes before half time for a piss/beer/pie

 

[Weststander]

Collymore and Saggers shouting each other down in a fake disagreement on Talksport's perceived football issue of the day (usually about the coaching of kids in Britain, or Rooney never fulfilled his early hype, or Collymore calling any collision between goalie and striker a dive).

Jose Mourinho.

drums, goal music and a club doubling their gate when they get n the premier league.. now who does that remind you of?

[TSB]

When Albion fans sung that ****ing St Pauli song. Especially v palace.
The hyping up of a terrible fixture like Fulham v Norwich on Sky.
"Relegation six pointer" in October.
Cheerleaders.
A tosser with a drum.
Mascots observing minute's silence. Yet it's also the funniest thing. The 'David Brent' part of football.
Footballers on twitter deserves another mention.
Clackers.
Half-half scarves unless it's some sort of Fans United occasion.
Describing teams in a patronising way because they only get 15,000 fans or don't have a long history. It's not big, it's not clever. Just makes you look like a ****.
Ray Winston Bet365 adverts.
World Cup ads where the women are more excited than the men. Patronising, sexist bollocks.
Full Kit Wankers
Glad all over

Bolton?

It gets worse.

Clackers, theme days because the manager and a couple of free transfer players are Spanish, song sheets with Jazz hands, a club trebling their attendances because of a free gift from a sugar daddy, putting the words of the clubs supposed anthem on the big screen so all the new customers can learn it etc etc etc.

Now who is that club Pridey?

 

[North London Seagull]

When we sang "1-0 to the Albion" just as the other team equalised.
That made me cringe

Probably aimed at those who leave on 40 mins to get to the bar/coffee shop.

 

[The Wookiee]

Clapping when the away attendance is announced.

Even worse, standing up then clapping the away attendance

I'm not 100% sure what a CRINGE actually is, but this picture certainly makes me do at least one, if not more...

What makes you do a CRINGE?

One is a Naval salute,the other is an Army Salute and the guy in the middle is shielding eyes in the sun.

What is annoying are players that have had a free kick against them,grab the ball,walk off with it,hold it then throw it back nowhere near where the kick should take place...(yes,I understand that it is so their defence can get back in a defensive position) but it is gamemanship and time wasting
