    Currently the one thing that p1sses me off about footballers is this.

    Ball goes over the full back who gets in the shepherding out position but before it goes out the opposing player gets within a yard of the shepherder and he throws himself to the ground. Mainly it happens when the defender has no where to go and is blocked in the corner. He waits for a player to come near him and collapses in a heap.

    Automatic free kick. For the life of me I can’t understand why a referee 99 times out of 100 gives it.

    It’s pathetic.

    Whatevers in fashion. Its grating to watch but its one of those 'given' gifts that players milk.

    Players taking corners from slightly outside the quadrant. Why? As if two inches is going to give you any advantage.

    People of low IQ running onto a football pitch after the last game of the season, despite instruction not to, year after year after year.

    Liverpool lose the Champions League semi against Ajax and they are ‘rewarded’ with Automatic entry to next years group stage of the Champions League. (Note. They are not even the champions of England.)
    Ajax lose the Champions League semi against Liverpool and (even though they are again Champions of Holland) they have to go through 4 (yes 4) qualifying rounds to get to next years Champions League group stages.

    Pathetic.

    When the ball rolls towards a linesman and he just stands still and let’s it roll into the stand, or when the ball is out of play and they stand next to it but won’t just kick it to the player taking the throw in. Winds me right up.

    Like last week with Mowatt taking that corner where the flag was preventing him taking it, just hold the flag man or let him take it out.

    They’re actually not allowed to stop the ball or attempt to retrieve it.

    It’s so it can’t be perceived they’re taking sides or giving the attacking team an unfair advantage.

    Yeah I get that to a point, but isn’t it the same for referees? And they kick the ball to the free kick takers. Either way it’s frustrating

    When a free kick is awarded, opposition players standing in front of the ball to prevent a quickly taken free kick. Referees booking players doing this would soon stop it.

    Pretty much everything in the top two divisions barring anything to do with us. The rest leaves a sour taste in the mouth I'm afraid.

    Referees shouldn’t do it either. I suppose it’s different if all the players are already in position with a free kick.

    This. Imagine how quick and exciting games would be if free kicks could be taken quickly. Instead free kicks are opportunity to slow game down and for all players to get back in defensive formation. Should be like rugby where onus is on tram conceding fould to retreat.

    All the play acting, pretending to be injured that players in every team do, it's just embarrassing to watch back. This has now got to the point where referees don't actually give a foul unless a players goes down

    Absolutely spot on. The "Champions" League is a total farce.

    Every match being described as "massive" when it is just another match. In fact, anything described as "massive".

    Football montages set to pop music. A half second clip followed by another half second clip followed by another, with music over the top. It's like we've accepted that in 2019 people struggle to focus and concentrate on one thing for any period of time so we just give them loads of information all at once. Like the vidiprinter that has 3 screens at once. And Match of the Day where the main match is already over by the time you've made a cup of tea.

    Football seems to have appropriated the pop video, and the pop video seems to have appropriated soft-porn.

    When a player is fouled and they grab hold of the ball with their hands before the referee has even blown.

    Selling stadium naming rights.

    The Crown Oil Arena. No it isn't, it's Spotland.

    The Cherry Red Records Stadium. Wtf?

    So glad we've never gone down that route. I really hope we never, ever do. Stand sponsorship I can deal with, but selling the name of the stadium is selling the soul of the club.

    Even worse is when new stadiums don't actually have a name other than the sponsor's name. Does Huddersfield's ground have a proper name? What about Bolton's?

    Edit - apparently Huddersfield play at the Kirklees Stadium, though I've never heard it called that.
