Football pet hate

[21.05.2016]

Come on, we all have them


Half and half scarves - WTF are all they about?! Fair enough for maybe glamerous one off games like when we played Barca a while back in a friendly but otherwise they really are the most ridiculous items. they were selling Half Man U Half Man city scarves out the game last week, bizzare!


Folk arriving late and everyone having to stand up, obstructing your view



Im sure there are plenty more but those are just two off the top of my head

[scuttle]

Players taking their shirt off when scoring, stupidity IMHO
Players who don't beat first man when taking a corner

[WoreTheGreen]

The word footie does ma heid in

[Lago]

People arriving late sitting for 5vor 10 mins then up & out to have pish, back then out again for a repeat after 30 mins or so. Does my head in.

Yep mine as well. You can add folk that call a penalty a pen to the list anaw. Just because some helmet on Sky says it, that doesn't make it acceptable.

[tartanhibee]

Short sleeves and gloves.

People leaving early to beat the traffic, why miss the end of the game!?

Or the ones that stand up to leave but then just wait on the stairs

[Craig_HFC]

Referees who make over the top gestures when they make a decision.

People at the game who basically commentate on everything that's happening on the pitch for no apparent reason while the game is going on (especially annoying when what they are saying is so obviously wrong).

[WoreTheGreen]

Assistant managers/coaches who point and shout exactley what the manager has just shouted just to look somewhat envolved

[matty_f]

Referees who insist the ball is moved 2mm just to make it look like they're in charge, only for them to let a team take a free kick wherever they want moments later.

In fact, bad referees in general.

And Yams.

[hfcnic]

Dunno why this one bothers me but I cringe a little every time this happens. When the goalie (of any team) is kicking the ball out and the crowd makes the whooooooaaaaaaaaayyyyyy noise

[WoreTheGreen]

Mark lawrencen the man who the term bellend was invented for

[Dunbar Hibee]

Heavy handed stewards. People that kick the back of your chair. Hibs fans that shout and abuse the team til they are blue in the face but if another fan has the audacity to disagree with them or tell them to pipe down they go off and one and cause a scene.

Hahaha course not mate.

[Iain G]

Not clamping down on foul throws anymore.

[Iain G]

Luminous and stupid brightly coloured football boots

[bod]

people counting dots on an official site to see how many folk are going to watch a game of football

[Stevie Reid]

TV cameras zooming in on celebrities and the commentator remarking on the fact that they're there (not counting ex-pros or current footballers in this).

Thinking in particular of Sky's constantly going back to Noel Gallagher and Russell Brand 9sat together) after every goal in a West Ham v Man City game last year. Utterly cringeworthy.

[superfurryhibby]

Socks over the knee looking like some kind of man stockings. Not good.

[Lancs Harp]

"undisclosed" transfer fees. What is that about?

[JeMeSouviens]

People who go radge at every offside decision despite:

- they're not remotely in line
- they're pished
- they're decades behind with the rule tinkering

[Scouse Hibee]

Non contested bounced balls and giving the ball back to the opposition when they deliberately put it out to stop play for a player who clearly isn't seriously injured.

[lord bunberry]

People who moan about other fans all the time. If someone arrives late I stand up and let them past, if they need a piss I do the same. I couldn't care less about what others are doing at the game. Things were much better when we didn't have to sit down.

"undisclosed" transfer fees. What is that about?

To be fair, it's usually because the club in receipt of the transfer fee don't want other clubs to know how much money they have received, lest it hampers their next attempt to secure a player - i.e. making the team they're buying from raise the price in light of the money the buying club has just had come in.

I'm with you though, it is annoying!

This. Raith left back did it continuously last season in the 2-1 game at Kirkcaldy. (The lad does have a superb long throw on him) Also so called shielding of a ball going out of play when it is obviously not in playing distance.

[snooky]

1) The hassle of getting tickets for a game instead of just paying at the gate.
2) Leaving your car to the mercy of local vandals.
3) Cheats (i.e. divers, injury feigners, cheap-shot merchants).
4) Black tights
5) Badge kissers
6) The fact that bad refereeing decisions never ever "even out over the season"
7) The fact the we don't have Sparky on our books
8) Stadiums named after sponsors. (e.g. Dunbarton)
9) Folk that list ten or more peeves on one post
