On a similar note, infringements not given in the penalty box which would instantly be given as a foul anywhere else.
Fluorescent coloured boots. Or generally coloured boots that don’t compliment* the kit. Oh & electronic pitch side advertising. How is anyone supposed to call an accurate offside with that sh!te flashing away in your eyeline.?! Grrr... * or should that be complement.? Kev?
When a player is trying to gain yards on a throw in, the ref blows and makes him walk back 5 yards then he does a unnecessarily long run up to gain those yards back and more, the referees just allow it. Really winds me.
Players committing niggly fouls that lose us momentum. I.E Chaplin forcing a defender to giving away a corner but pushing him in the back in the process.
Some crackers in here and for me, the common element is cheating and the fact that referees don’t attempt to stop it.
Players falling over at the slightest contact and refs falling for it every bloody time. Just because there’s contact doesn’t mean it’s a foul.
Worst ones are the ones where the defender is ‘shielding’ the ball out for a goal kick then when he realises he’s going to get dispossessed just falls to his knees. Instant foul. Boils my piss.
The fact that modern footballers arent even grown ups and are the softest breed of anything on the planet. An absolute embarrassment to the species.
