Miller11 Posted January 6, 2023 Share Posted January 6, 2023 My latest one is a player lying on the floor behind a wall. My instruction would be to chip the ball and hang it over the wall and the big lads to trample all over the pillock. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s my resolution for 2023. At least my wife’s resolution for me. Gotta lose the FOMO thang. Mind you I missed the best moment when Jamie Rednapp scored against us in 1995. I stonked out of the room and hid myself in the garden. My wife called out “you are missing the celebrations. Man Utd drew with West Ham.”😳 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluebruce Posted January 6, 2023 Share Posted January 6, 2023 (edited) In no particular order... The ludicrous wages and ludicrous ticket & shirt prices. Agents. Terrible referees. Diving and other cheating. Venkys ruining my beloved club. The obsession with 'bigger' clubs, especially since it's primarily predicated on what attendance figures happen to be, which there is also a sad obsession over. Glory hunting fans. Awarding of handballs for people smashing the ball at someone's hand from 5 ft away. The pandemic of Dutch Disease. Slightly tangential, but any time somebody calls Alex Ferguson 'Sir'. His prefix should be 'That Cunt'. Edited January 6, 2023 by bluebruce 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

simongarnerisgod Posted January 6, 2023 Share Posted January 6, 2023 football "fans" who think the game was invented in 1992 sky sports the continuing,dwindling standard of officiating uefa and their champions league ****,it should be a straight two legged knock out from round one managers who insist on passing out from the back despite their players not be able enough to do it properly the good old sliding tackle,it leads to a booking these days,even if you get the ball 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigbrandjohn Posted January 7, 2023 Author Share Posted January 7, 2023 My wife has lobbed one into the hopper. Players who stop, start and jink about as they take penalties. She loves it when they miss. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ianrally Posted January 7, 2023 Share Posted January 7, 2023 20 hours ago, bigbrandjohn said: Oh another couple. The routine shirt pulling and arms around each other at corners. A few bookings and penalties would sort that out. My favourite is arguing with the ref. “I would l luv it” if some one introduced a law that pushed the play up ten yards every time it happened as in Rugby. That would shut a few gobs up. The line of defenders at a corner, non of which are looking toward the ball, only intent on blocking opposition players as though we are playing American Gridiron. What happened to the obstruction law? And what happened to the foul throw law? I must have seen at least ten foul throws in the WC. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roverandout Posted January 7, 2023 Share Posted January 7, 2023 The trouble with female commentators is their commentary is too forced. With the men, it's just natural. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I disagree, but if it were true, I would wonder how much of that would be them feeling pressure from loads of judgemental men listening. Kind of like how I'd feel if I were asked to talk about sex at an Anne Summers party. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When its men it comes natural. I'm not anti female. It's just a find female commentators to be bland and uninspiring 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wheelton Blue Posted January 7, 2023 Share Posted January 7, 2023 The women commentators will improve as time goes on. Cricket wise, Isa Guha is great to listen to on TMS, as good as the men IMO. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oldgregg86 Posted January 7, 2023 Share Posted January 7, 2023 (edited) I think most of the females in the studio are very good at what they do, they do annoy me though when there cutting to grounds on sky sports news for updates. Can’t explain why it’s just bugs me . I think it’s the pitch of the voice which is no fault of there own maybe. I don’t know. Might be because when I hear them shout when a goal goes in I associate it with my bags been thrown down the stairs 🤷 😂 Edited January 7, 2023 by Oldgregg86 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The shit ale at most grounds. I know its not specifically football, but its part and parcel of the day out for many. Rather bizarrely one of the best pints I've had this season was at the Turf! Clinton Morrison. "Who are ya" chants. "Insert name here is a shithole, I wanna go home" - GO THEN. Sky Sports trying to force womens football on us. It's not just me with Clinton Morrison, then ! In one of the " Under the Coash " podcasts, John Parkin, the ex-Preston forward said that Clinton Morrison once threatened to have him shot when he was playing against him. Lovely ! As for Sky and women's football, they are amateurs compared to the BBC ... In their " Fixtures and Results " webpage, they list fixtures in the order " Premier League, Scottish Premier League, Women's Super League, Championship, League 1, League 2 etc ", nobody dare explain that the standard is that of a Championship teams U15's ...

Backroom Tom Posted January 7, 2023 Backroom Share Posted January 7, 2023 That decision in the Liverpool Wolves game just now, one of the worst offside calls you’ll ever see (after West Ham at Ewood) not even close to offside and VAR fails to correct it 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
