Restarting the game after a goal within 30 seconds.

Now due to VAR you have time to go to the refreshment stands, get a pint in, have a pee, send a couple of text messages and then retake your seat before another ball is kicked.

Foul throws do my head in, they are so common now (unless the laws have changed without my knowledge). Do away with foul throws if you aren't going to penalise them.

 

[Titanic]

Celebrating a goal, without turning to your friends/family and asking was it offside / handball / a foul 3 minutes ago?

Players running out from the tunnel then jumping to head an imaginary ball.

Do The National Front newspaper seller's still hang around northern lower league grounds?

I'd like to think they are no longer going anymore.

Stamford Bridge was the only ground I saw the NF selling at. Apparently they also sold inside the ground, although this may be an urban myth.

Man United being good

That's quite a memory you have!

Surges on the terraces.

Must have ended up about 20 yards away from where I was standing on these two occasions.

 

[Weststander]

Gents loos with no roof to the elements, folk peeing into a gully.

Just yards away tinned burgers and hotdogs boiling away at a portable kiosk.

A hut selling programmes and badges from across European football.

Goalkeepers bouncing the ball 3 or 4 times before booting it up the pitch.
Goalies with no gloves.
