People on forums who drag innocent posters into topics My gripes are: - tv pundits who sit on the fence - players surprise when they lunge at an attacker in the box, miss the ball, and the player either dives or ensure they make contact. Don't lunge unless you are going to get the ball. - I'm sure there are loads more too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arrytheb Posted April 25, 2016 Report Share Posted April 25, 2016 When the commentators say 'there was contact so he's entitled to go down'. No, contact doesn't automatically mean a player can go to ground. I believe football is still a contact sport. For now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Welcome To The Jungle Posted April 25, 2016 Report Share Posted April 25, 2016 Older fans who tell me football was much better in the good old days.

Mad Cyril Posted April 25, 2016 Report Share Posted April 25, 2016 On 23/02/2016 at 20:38, Mad Cyril said: A great blog here, full credit to the author...... I think I’m tired of football. Maybe, and hopefully, not the actual game, but I’m tired of so many aspects of it. I’m tired of football’s increasing omnipresence; why do Manchester United need an official tyre partner in Indonesia? Why do Liverpool need an official skincare partner, when surely a decent centre half would be of more use to them? I’m tired of leagues spending so much time rebranding themselves; as if it was the name of the competition stopping the people of Essex turning up in their hordes for Braintree Town against Gateshead. I’m tired of the Premier League’s rebrand and it only happened yesterday. I’m tired of marketing bollocks like this; ‘The identity is a huge tonal shift from buttoned up, shirt and tie, formal, reserved… to warm, human, approachable and informal.’ for what is just a ****ing logo for a football league, not a politician’s futile image makeover. I’m tired of football’s inflated sense of self-importance and finances that have now long moved beyond the realms of anything vaguely sane. I’m tired of people celebrating how much has been spent in a transfer window rather than what it has been spent on. I’m tired of the transfer window, and the indulgence of it all; something deftly summarised by Frankie Boyle’s Deadline Day tweet ‘Your club has bought some journeyman midfielder sexcase for the price of a hospital’. I’m tired of knowing that for most clubs he’ll largely be right. I’m tired of the arguments over ticket prices, particularly in the Premier League, that suggest only now have ticket prices become too expensive. I’m tired of fans complaining of ticket prices at their own club, whilst mocking empty seats at another. I’m tired of being charged £24 and upwards for third tier football, whilst the FSF puts its efforts into capping away ticket prices in the Premier League at a figure less than that. I’m tired of the way I still hand over my cash anyway, despite how tired I am of the ridiculous sums I’m being asked for. I’m tired of clubs attempts to justify these prices by telling me their tickets are cheaper than another club that I had no interest in watching. I’m tired of having to pay more on the day to watch a League match, despite it being a much less labour intensive transaction for all involved. I’m tired of the fury and rage that greets every announcement as if it is a personal affront; sometimes football matches are postponed, sometimes football matches are lost, sometimes players are sold. I’m tired of the constant search for a scapegoat. I’m tired of the childish dismissals of anything a past player or manager ever did for the club as being ‘shit’. I’m tired of the twisting of the past to suit current arguments. Paul Dickov may not have been the right manager for the club, but he handed more youth team graduates debuts than any other Rovers manager since at least 1998; I’m tired of that being overlooked. I’m tired of being asked if I support a bigger club. I’m tired of the Liverpool, or Chelsea, or Manchester United fans who ask me this getting all put out when I subsequently ask them if they do. I’m tired of grown adults play-acting. I’m tired of how long a team that’s one nil up takes over a throw-in. I’m tired of goalkeepers pretending to berate their defenders, and pretending to not hear the referee soak up ten more seconds before a goal-kick. I’m tired of players who trot over to the far side of the pitch when they know they’re about to be substituted, so they can eat up as much time as possible walking to the bench. I’m tired of paying £24 or more to watch these same routines over and over again, every ****ing week. I’m tired of the banter. I’m tired of tekkers. I’m tired of the language and the slang. I’m tired of Paddy Power and the ****ing Lad Bible. I’m tired of engagement stats over information. I’m tired of retweeting praise and pretending the negatives never happen. I’m tired of new kits every year. I’m tired of people dicking about with hoops, and treating an away kit as a blank canvas. I’m tired of lazily nicking other clubs’ songs. I’m tired of pyro. I’m tired of parties. I’m tired of all this. None of it is football. None of it needs to happen. Just give me the game. And my bed. by Glen Wilson This piece is the editorial for issue 80 of popular STAND fanzine; a football fanzine for the likes of Doncaster. Sorry to those that read this a while back.

One Team In Keynsham Posted April 25, 2016 Report Share Posted April 25, 2016 Some of these are not necessarily modern, but a sample of what boils my piss to varying degrees: - Cup semi finals at Wembley - Literally everything Jamie Redknapp says - The break between the 2 periods of extra time - Nostalgic lists - Kick off times directed by television scheduling - Pundits who are ignorant of the laws of the game - Pundits on international tournament panels who are too lazy to properly research the teams they are being paid to watch ("Well Alan, we know literally nothing about the Saudi midfield.") - Gambling and loan companies as shirt sponsors - Nostalgic lists - Repetition - Trial by a thousand slow-mo replays of match officials - Scousers who think that Manchester United are treated favourably by the FA - Mancs who think that Manchester United are treated unfavourably by the FA, at the expense of Liverpool - Conspiracy theories such as the award of penalties at Old Trafford or decisions against West Ham - Bubbles, whether directed by the police or generated by a machine at the Boleyn ground Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
