In the world of football, what makes you CRINGE?

[TWOCHOICEStom]

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?

 

[hans kraay fan club]

Goal music.

Call and repeat goalscorer announcements.

Joey Barton's HAIR.

 

[Hillian1]

Clackers

 

[Notters]

Gus Poyet.

 

[KZNSeagull]

Players diving like they have been shot.

Players rolling around feigning injury (when everyone knows that if they were really injured, they would not roll around!)

David Beckham talking on any subject.

 

[7:18]

Half and half scarves

 

[CorgiRegisteredFriend]

Fans who shout and scream at the team/manager etc during a match in the sad belief that they will pay any attention to what they say.

 

[Return of the Rev]

Diving
holding onto players during corners
running the ball into the corners to run down time
players tweeting
middle aged men wearing replica kits

I just thought of another one.

Hearing the away fans outsing the North Stand all game only for the North Stand to decide in the 75th minute that they'll sing "We forgot that you were here".

That sets off a CRINGE attack.

 

[Biscuit]

Gus Poyet.

I presume Di Canio as well?

 

[The Large One]

"XXXX is shithole, I want to go home..." BEFORE the match.

It was mildly amusing once at Stoke after we got stuffed 3-0, but the moment you get there...?

 

[Titanic]

"You're not a big club anymore"

Diving

THIS

holding onto players during corners

THIS

running the ball into the corners to run down time

Goal keepers taking stupid lengths of time to kick the ball out and the ref doing nothing about it!

players tweeting

this, this this...

middle aged men wearing replica kits

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!

Tom, I disagree about Adebayor... but this is SPOT ON.

 

[Munkfish]

Fans who big there team up no end and then go bat shit crazy when they flop.

People who leave stadiums early.

Premier league Commantators who commentate on lower league games on the odd occassion (FA Cup generally) and have no idea who the players are or what they are talking about, just reading scripts prepeared by some intern.

I'm not wrong. I definitely did do a CRINGE. I'm not lying.

Goal music and the clapper things the club's give out to create more atmosphere and they only work for about the first ten minutes of a game

 

[Gullflyinghigh]

- The 'tactical genius' style of fan who mistake their hindsight for a never-voiced prior knowledge.

- Sam Allardyce interviews; 'blah blah ref, blah blah disgrace, blah blah disrepute. Man's a monumental tool.

- Meaningless stats being rolled out as if they mean something; 'Brighton haven't won a game at [stadium] for 20 years'

Reading out the away attendance...
