Conceding from corners cos we’re shit at defending them especially considering the height on our team

Shit defending

Crap set piece deliveries

Players who pressure the ref into giving a card

Opposition players who keep going down more easily than us but always contesting fouls that go our way

People who watch football with me and ask the stupidest questions or make the foolishest comments/opinions

Liverpool, the club and anything associated with Liverpool.

I’m all right with AFC but somehow Arsenal fans are even more annoying than Liverpool fans, to me at least.

I haven’t been to Liverpool, mind. I’ve only ever been to the UK once in my life, only time I’ve been to Old Trafford. Someone said he can’t stand fans who do not watch club games. Not all of us are in the UK or even in Europe..

 

[roonster09]

Abusing stats, latest being "Dribbled past" which most have no club but goes by it randomly because some clueless Ihni binni dimi diniwiny anitaime published article saying player x y z are not dribbled past this season.

 

[Bubz27]

Elanga's been muscled off the ball a few times tonight.
"He has to be stronger."

Defender (Fofana) goes over easily.
"Clever play by the CB."

Even now, Greenwood goes over easily and Sutton with the "not much in that." Talk. Has he once said there wasn't much in that when the hulking Elanga out Fofana on the ball?

Been saying for years that defenders go down easier than attackers. That said, can’t stand when the defender is running towards his corner flag with absolutely no option and someone sticks a leg in and invites them to go over.

It’s not only that with Sutton, his overall tone is more like he’s commentating an England match and his entire audience is English.

Everything he says is “maybe this will be what wins it for Leicester” as if thats what the entire audience is hoping for, because he can’t fathom anything else.

Case in point ^

Sutton: “Madison coming on for Leicester, he can have a HUGE impact”.

“... and Rashford and Cavani for United”

Sutton: “ “

Goalkeepers taking a sip of water whenever they allow some stupid goal.

Mismatch marking at set pieces.

 

[Shane88]

I knew this bump was gonna be because of Sutton. He is awful.

 

[acnumber9]

Brendan Rodgers stupid, smug celebration.

He’s worse than Jenas for bias, and that’s going some. Is impartiality too much to ask?

 

[BIGbadBOO4]

Teams like Leicester that do sneaky fouls all the time then complain when they get pulled up but then top it off by diving around like toddlers the whole game.

 

[alexthelion]

Commentators, full stop.

 

[Josep Dowling]

When Pep wins anything they never mention the sheer amount of money he’s spent. And then they say he’s the best manager to grace the Premier League whilst Sir Alex won 13 titles and never outspent teams like Pep does. Give most managers over a billion to spend I’m sure they would also have 3 league titles in 4 years.

 

[Bocca9978]

Man City.

 

[Sandikan]

I knew this bump was gonna be because of Sutton. He is awful.

It always feels like we play crap when Sutton is on.

Wish he was banished back to Scottish football where he belongs.

 

[duffer]

Goalkeepers falling to the ground after they catch the ball in the last 10 minutes (but only if they're not losing). Pure time wasting that never, ever gets punished.

 

[Tapori]

Can we have a petition - know there was a thread before some years back- about the increasingly catastrophic direction of footage of matches on tv?

EVERY SINGLE TIME key parts of matches give-way to the innate artistic yearnings of said footage director trying "frame a narrative" cutting away from the play to a face, a STAND, rain, anything BUT the match.

The best directors replay the right clips, and such decorative footage during BREAKS in play.
Now the cut must be allowed to finish it's panoramic theatrical narrative full form until the director decided he has made his illustrious BAFTA worth point.

This match:
Soyuncu fading into Evans and Back
Literally footage of rain and the Sir Alex Ferguson stand; Leicester nearly nabbed the ball in the mean time near our goal.

STOP IT
KICK IT OUT

 

[Cutch]

Players chewing gum. Soyuncu, Mings, Holgate etc

Chris Sutton is another person in football stealing a living. It’s quite a talent to be consistently wrong.

 

[Sandikan]

The use of the phrase "between the lines".

Always used by sh!t pundits who think they're being exceptionally profound and are absolute tactical whizzes.

 

[Solius]

Despised this for years. They’ll do the most basic catch and then lay down on the floor for 30 seconds.

 

[Vidyoyo]

What bothers me most about Chris Sutton is that he looks like a referee that somehow ended up having a football career.

 

[V.O.]

Goalkeepers falling to the ground after they catch the ball in the last 10 minutes (but only if they're not losing). Pure time wasting that never, ever gets punished.

That 6 second rule that keepers are allowed to hold the ball for was enforced for about three weeks in 2005 and never again since.

 

[Kentonio]

Is it too late to say Liverpool? Anyway, Liverpool.

 

[Anustart89]

Yeah, this one is fecking infuriating. I'd love it if a ref blew for a foul after six seconds had passed. Since the ball is technically in play, no time is ever added for it either.

 

[Strats]

Players who either picks the ball up with their hands or kicks it away(even slightly) after they have committed a foul. Fecking infuriating.

 

[Corey]

Yeah, this one is fecking infuriating. I'd love it if a ref blew for a foul after six seconds had passed. Since the ball is technically in play, no time is ever added for it either.

If I was a striker I would start counting out loud, and theatrically with my fingers, to bring attention to this ridiculous time wasting. Kane is the only player I've seen do this.

This grinds my gears massively too. Sporting coverage should be practical to capture the best footage and not be an artistic intepretation of events.

I don't watch La Liga anymore but in the 2000s, I remember the constant slow-mo, medium close ups (in the rain, walking, turning etc) of players being hilarious due to how gratuitous it was.

 

[Supermonkey_Wolf]

Heading the ball straight at the keeper and saying 'he got too good of a connection'.

The ball glancing in either side of the keeper due to a mistimed header is not the advice you give - it's having more control with your accuracy!

 

[OnlyTwoDaSilvas]

Nick Pope is the worst for that catching the ball and falling down lark. He does the whole thing in slow motion.

It's in the same ballpark as simulation. They need to start actually enforcing the 6 second rule to really stamp it out.

 

[duffer]

I used to do that when I played Sunday league! I never got a goalie booked but I pissed a load off because it did hurry them up.

Pretty sure that rule was scrapped.

Commentators are still running with the narrative that Shaw has suddenly come good because of Telles. Have they seen Telles?!
I really want Shaw to get Uniteds POTY to see their reaction when they have to say “Shaw has won the player of the year for the second time in three years”.

I can’t explain why this annoys me so much. I shouldn’t let it bother me!

 

[arthurka]

Liverpool

 

[K stand Red]

Referees who stop play at corner kicks/free kicks around the box to separate players from holding prior to the kick being taken, let them carry on and just call the foul once the ball is in play, just a waste of time.

 

[AaronRedDevil]

Shielding the ball in the corner. Annoys the hell out of me. Very dick move.

Found Jon Moss' account.

 

[Bobcat]

• Obvious time waisting, especially if its a shithouse team full of "hardmen" who suddenly start falling over from the lightest touch
• Feigning injury
• Refs who need to be in the spotlight
• VAR offside calls
