Following on from this, commentators who constantly go on about players being unlucky when their efforts on goal are saved, eh no, the keeper is just doing his job.

In a similar vein, commentators and fans who go on about how lucky a team was because 'the keepers made a few good saves' to get them that win.

The keeper is part of the team, it's his job to make saves to help win games. No one ever says a team was lucky because 'the strikers scored a couple of good goals'.

The commercialism behind Fathers & Mothers day, when I was a kid cards were given to parents by their children. Now wife's & husbands are sending them to their spouses. FFS my mate just put on FB that he got five cards, one from each of his three children, one from his wife and one from his ****** pet rabbit!

My girlfriend got me a fathers day card from our cat! We don't even have a child so there really is no excuse. Mental behaviour imo.

And on that subject, folks wishing their dad "Happy Father's Day" on social media knowing fine well their old man wouldn't go near Facebook if his life depended on it.

I'm not sure, she already moans about being below Hibs and the cat in my priorities. Not sure she fancies adding more competition!

Walking poles, I'm sure they can be helpful in the hills but the amount of people I'm seeing out for a stroll in the street with them is obscene

Erses driving in front of you who swerve violently to avoid the smallest manhole.

People who put coffee in their cup then use the same spoon to put their sugar in, leaving what looks like mouse droppings in the sugar.

That's wandering treacherously close to getting the heave ho territory in my book

Absolutely.

People who amend posts with that "Fixed that for you" nonsense.

Agreed mate. Drives me nuts.

**SuperAllyMcleod** · 21-06-2016 08:32 PM

Football pundits that don't know how to use "those"!

I've heard Gerry Taggert and John Hartson on five live today both say "strikers are used to being in them areas" - NO! Strikers are used to being in those areas!

**SuperAllyMcleod** · 21-06-2016 08:33 PM

Glen Hoddle - boring pr1ck!

Football pundits it's who only have 2 modes:

1. State the obvious without adding anything insightful (smith....to Jones....to brown...now Johnstone) - we can see that, tell us what we don't know.

2. Talk absolute ***** whilst the game is happening without actually mentioning the game. An example, a match between say, Germany and Belgium will be regularly ignored to pontificate about whether England will be more likely to be playing Spain or France in the next round. Meanwhile, there's actually an interesting match happening, that is going ignored. This also happens for club games, but more so in European competition.

The commentator during the England Russia game last week shouting JUSTICE FOR THE ENGLAND 11

I mean wtf?

To be fair more funny than a peeve

But really?

I've noticed that's pretty common. One of the only pundits who can speak properly is Garth Crooks - it's only the players names he has a problem with rather than the English language!

(Re. "Fixed that for you" use).

Me too, I hate the smugness of that statement. They haven't actually 'fixed' anything.
What they generally have done is twisted your words to suit their own diverse sense of humour. Not cool.

I might have said this when this thread was on its first lap but folk that day "free" instead of "three" or "fink" instead of "think" and so on and so forth.

In a similar vein - would of, should of, could of etc.
