In the world of football, what makes you CRINGE?

[Harry H]

Spitting.
Shirts under shirts.
Referees playing on after injury time is over to allow a team a scoring attempt.
Officials trying to be mates with players.

 

[The Large One]

The fact that there are more 'Poyet' threads on the first page of NSC than 'Oscar' threads.

 

[Westdene Seagull]

We've got to page 2 and nobody has mentioned the obvious ....... Palace !

 

[knocky1]

Football fans who cringe without knowing what it is.

 

[The Truth]

Sky sports football pundits

 

[Simster]

Andy Townsend and Garth Crooks

 

[Gordon Bennett]

The list is endless but the following immediately sprang to mind:

The fact players seem intent on turning football into a non-contact sport with all the diving/feigning injury that goes on these days.
Time wasting - I came to watch you play football not to watch you standing around doing f*** all.
All the rubbish managers talk these days/mind games - no one believes them so if they want a career not answering a question with a proper answer why don't they go into politics?
Most of the ideas/announcements from UEFA and FIFA.
Coloured boots - wtf is that all about?

 

[Cullip4]

Booing at half time regardless of the score
Shouting "WWWHHHHHOOOO" whenever a sub comes on
Waving towards the camera when sitting behind the player taking a throw in during a televised game

 

[Buzzer]

A minute's applause.

The entire team walking out with mascots.

Manchester United.

Teams lining up to shake hands when it's not a cup final or international game.

The really stupid-arse comment "puts it all into perspective". It never does. It really doesn't.

Manchester United fans.

Clapping the opposition attendance at the Amex.

Fans in onesies.

John Terry.

ITV coverage of football.

Twats who wax lyrical about politics and football.

[Munkfish]

Football fans who are stuck in the past.

 

[The Truth]

football fans who claim humans were better at football 50 years ago.

 

[Vegas Seagull]

Keith Andrews with 10 yards of open space in front of him knocking the ball back to the centre backs

 

[The Large One]

Coloured boots - wtf is that all about?

Actually, with the Albion home shirt numbers being illegible, it's one way of identifying players.

 

[Simster]

Dick Knight's stupid share offer.

 

[Stuart Munday]

Managers having a go at the fourth official, it's bad enough when they have a go at the ref but the fourth official doesn't make any of the decisions, what do they expect him to do.

 

[Blue Valkyrie]

Cheerleaders

 

[glasfryn]

coaches











much prefer MANAGER the word itself implies that they MANAGE they are in charge
coach implies they take orders from someone else ......say a MANAGER
