In the world of football, what makes you CRINGE?

[dragonred]

the crazy mindset and loss of any and all perspective that some people have that a result is to them almost more important than actual life. Absolutely cringe worthy to see grown men crying at a loss, or worshiping players in terms that ought to be better said to their partners as at least partners (mainly) do care and might appreciate. End of the day it is just a game, to be enjoyed hugely when it takes place but how it can ever become the one and only enjoyment in life, as it appears to be on occasions, is frankly embarrassing.

In a word, Blatter.

 

[SouthCoastOwl]

Anyone, and I mean anyone, who claims England have an outside chance of winning a major tournament.

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

not when 3/4 of them seem to be wearing the same neon orange boots - thats confused me way too many times this season

 

[geodavies]

Away teams changes strip when not necessary. ..

 

[hans kraay fan club]

Players celebrating being awarded a penalty.

Officials trying to be mates with players.

Two EXCELLENT shouts there.

Kevin Nolan's stupid CHICKEN goal celebration. The prick.

Football is NOT just a game.

 

[The Truth]

Football is NOT just a game.

It's a sport.

Bobby Charlton crying (when's it going to stop?)

606 on Radio 5. Who the monkey is bothered about what John from Manchester reckons? I want to hear from an ex pro/ref/journo with years of experience explain why this or that manager's tactics were no good in the first half and what he did that turned things around.

Kevin Nolan's stupid CHICKEN goal celebration. The prick.

Or not celebrating "out of respect to my old club". If you were that bothered matey you shouldn't have played in the game full stop.

 

[Buzzer]

It's a sport.

That's just being facetious. You know exactly what he means and to deny it is just pedantic nonsense. It has huge cultural significance worldwide and we, the fans, invest huge amounts of time, money and emotion. Perhaps far more than we should but the consequence is that it is clearly far more than just a game.

THIS
THIS
Goal keepers taking stupid lengths of time to kick the ball out and the ref doing nothing about it!
this, this this...
FAT middle aged men who have NEVER run the length of a pitch!
It's for the kids!
He's alright! Obvious why he is doing this job and not something better though!

Do you have time for anything else apart from cringing ?

Managers talking of a Project
Chairmen talking of a 5 Year Plan

 

[Brightonfan1983]

Oh, and Fighting Talk at the moment. What's going on? Appalling guest hosts, tedious panellists - no wonder Christian O'Connell doesn't seem to want any part of it

I try to spend any free time I have left arguing with [MENTION=12634]Return of the Rev[/MENTION]

Gareth Bale's stupid heart shaped celebration thingy.
