combined teams. Who gives a fk about your best XI formed from two different teams? Well I think this player would be better than that player and I can’t believe you’ve chosen him over him and blah blah blah. STFU

Commentators saying something minor was "celebrated like a goal". No it wasn't you idiot.
Commentators/pundits adding "football club" on the end of a team name as if it makes them know what they are talking about. |  |

Mixed feelings from me. Anyone who says there haven't been improvements since that era is mad - particularly when it comes to stadia, as you say, with many of the old stadiums being disgusting and often downright dangerous.
But it was also an era where middle size clubs like Ipswich, Nottingham Forest, Derby, Southampton etc could, with some canny purchases, a good youth system and inspirational management compete for trophies at the highest level. And that's pretty much gone now, which is very sad.
(And yes Leicester, but that looks increasingly like the outlier that proves the rule) |
Good post. Fully agree. |  | | |

Those short video clips they get footballers to do where they slowly raise their head to look at the camera. |  | | |

The word ‘simulation’. It’s cheating. If a player dives, call it what it is. Cheating, conning the ref, trying to get a fellow pro sent off.
Players feigning injury. Rolling about screaming. The Wednesday player did it on Monday and helped get the Barnsley player sent off. If you are truly injured you don’t scream or roll about. You’re a bit busy.
Alice bands on footballers (and some cricketers). E.g. Grealish. Really? Why? What’s wrong with you? What next? Hairnets? Rollers?
Kissing the badge. Just don’t. Most people if a better offer comes in and it suits are off like a shot. I don’t blame them for that, but please don’t kiss the badge. Harry Clarke and Woolfy can - they’re supporters too.
Harry Redknapp. Always irritated and now it’s reach for the channel changer when one of his stupid adverts comes on. Berk. [Post edited 3 Jun 2023 18:00]

I know being partisan is all part of it but I get annoyed by one-eyed fans.
Their player crunches one of ours " get him sent off ref"
Our player crunches one of theirs " get up you cheating git"
It is the essence of football but you asked for irrational. |  | | |

The placing of the ball at a corner kick so that its clearly past the white line and outside the area. Then the potential faffing about with the lino about moving it back, if they can be bothered. Just put the ball in the corner area. You've got to leather it at least half the width of the pitch so why does it matter so much to sneak the ball forward 10 centimetres. |
This. Seems to be the fashion these days, has only been for a few years, and although technically within the rules, gets right on my *redacted*. |  | | |

'Taking one for the team' with a 'good booking'. See also, rolling around on the pitch like you've been shot and then miraculously being ok 10 seconds later once the opponent has been booked, diving, and claiming for every. Single. Throw-in. Even when obvious that you got the last touch.
Professional footballers who can't take a throw-in correctly, i.e. about 90% of them, yet still get away with it. | | | |

This isn’t just a football thing - but if for some reason someone doesn’t rate a player, someone else comes back to describe you as a ‘hater’. I didn’t particularly rate Tony Dinning but I never hated him. Just seems quite childish. | | | |

players pulling shirts..blocking opponents at corners, free kicks etc..if it happened anywhere else on the pitch it would be a free kick…start awarding penalties at the first instance and hopefully all those shenanigans will cease… |  | | |

Pointless football threads linking us to players that are that are too old, too expensive, dead or retired, or once played for the club.
And really really annoyed with myself for reading it and not having the willpower not to come back to the board until next season starts!!!!!
See you tomorrow then |  |

Car seats in dugouts. You are outside ffs! What’s wrong with a plastic seat? It’s what the other 29,000 are parked on!
That Champions League dirge with a bunch of mugs waving that disc in the centre circle up and down to make it ripple. Aaaargh!
Players lining up and shaking hands. Why? Shake hands at the end. I prefer the FA Cup Final approach of Allan Hunter who told Malcolm McDonald in the tunnel ‘I’m going to break your ffing leg’. Quality. [Post edited 4 Jun 2023 9:25]

Just use initials and allow people to assume |
Wouldn’t the K or the T be a bit of a giveaway? |  |

Only if you include middle initials. Terry Ian Butcher as opposed to Thomas Kevin Beattie.

You’ve touched upon something which annoys me as well. A lot of posters condemn ‘modern’ players for feigning injury and diving - understandably so as it’s cheating. But then seemingly glorify in remembering old school defenders kicking and going in over the top in strikers. Odd. | | | |

Are you telling me there’s not a fair way to cripple an opponent?? A good old fashioned leg breaker, Achilles cruncher, knee wrecker, dead leg, calf raking, toe squisher? Ah, the old days.
You are right, there’s a fair bit of double standards and hypocrisy, especially from me 😃 | | | |

"This new ranking thing that’s going on. Ranking Derbies. Ranking away grounds. Rubbish"
The latest thing is those 'tier lists'. |
Excellent point , well made. I agree 100%
In fact I will put it at the top of my "Tier List" of football things that irrationally annoy me |  | | |

"We go again" being trotted out by every captain or "talisman" on twitter after they have lost a final, not qualified for Europe, got relegated, finished mid table etc |  |

‘We go again’ = we’ve got beaten again, are a bit cr@p, and have no clue whatsoever how to recover from this mess. | | | |

100%… that and the amount of times any interview contains a number of 100% answers in them. | |
