Tactical fouls, time wasting, VAR etc don’t really bother me to be honest. What has really annoyed me in the last few years is the Low quality of commentary. Perfect example was the Leicester / Utd March where the commentators spoke about City winning or not winning the title depending on the outcome of the game at least 30-40 times. Can they just comment on the game, talk about tactics etc rather than this BS which is obvious and we don’t need to be reminded every 2 minutes.
Stuff in football that really annoys you?
- Thread starter Vadim
- Start date
Having an ex-player as co-commentator for one of their old clubs games.
I don't care about pundits in the studio but during a match I don't wanna hear from a fan.

The fact that "mentality monsters" is going to, like Mourinho's "park the bus" and Keane's "prawn sandwich brigade", enter the football lexicon permanently.
When player commits a foul picks up the ball, runs with it and then throw the ball over the player who is ready to take the freekick.
It's worse than standing in front of the ball or kicking it away few yards.
Maybe there should be a rule that the team that has commited the foul can't touch the ball unless the kick it directly to the other team.
To add to that.. They used to Always have a close up of Abramovich at some point during every Chelsea home game.
Now they never fail to show Sir Alex and make some remark “Wonder what he thinks of this”.
Also Leicester owner....
Grealish's hair is fine. James Maddison's knock-off version of Grealish's hair on the other hand...
Don’t mind his hair, but would prefer it it he wore men’s shorts, rather than large boys.
Fans that take more pleasure in other teams failures then they do joy from their own teams success. Seems a modern phenomenon some kind of banter fans.
This has become common and it's a joke.
The phrase ''generational talent''.
The way players can't just go down normally when fouled. The whistle has gone, you got a free, stop rolling around like a gimp.
Describing players as technicians. He doesn't work at Kwik Fit, you helmets.
Pretty much all commentary. Particularly when there's 2 co-commentators now. It's overkill.
I found a stream for the Wolves game which had no commentary, just crowd noise. It was excellent. Amazon used to offer a no commentary option, but they took it away for the last round of games they broadcasted. It needs to be the norm.

Celtic/Rangers fans. The whole lot of them are wankers
The 24-hour transfer news cycle.
Every single match.
It is bloody annoying. Should definitely be a booking if you pick the ball up when you've made a foul.
Left foot wands too.
Like no-one has ever been right footed and had a wand of a foot.
You mean like our 1948 Cup Final strip? To be fair, blue was our third choice kit when I first started watching United. Our away kit was usually all-white with red collar and cuffs. Sometimes red socks.

That is absolutely not a modern phenomena in any way mate.
Too many things are annoying and here my top 3 :
1. Banning players from taking off shirts when celebrating. What on earth is wrong with that ?
2. VAR . It instantly takes out all the passion moments when seeing a goal and can't celebrate
3. Basic ball-controlling mistakes from Man Utd players . Come on, you are paid big for that, can we not mess up something that basic ? Oh did I call names like Brandon Williams or James ?

Can I add 'low block" to that. Jose used it once and now every fecker does.
Number 1 protects our capitalist overlords, the sponsors. Lovebet want to be front and centre whenever Ashley Barnes celebrates a screamer from 3 yards out.

Graeme Souness constantly saying ‘Glaziers’ instead of ‘Glazers’.
Just the sheer amount of time wasting. I'd much rather have 25 minutes each half with a stop watch type system that stops everytime the ball is out or whistle is blown than what we have now. In any important game that's close you can be sure that one team.will attempt to waste time like crazy near the end.
Everything that has to do with Luis Suarez. He even manages to turn a league win into being a cnut.
Cnut.
Cnut.
The League Cup - I just don't see the point of it. At least invite the Scottish teams to make it more interesting.
How much handball or water polo have you watched? The only reason I can’t stand those anymore is stopping time for everything, it’s very annoying.
Anyone that uses “ceiling”, “beast mode”, “bullied” or “bottler”.
Oh God please yes. It's not a fecking national anthem, you twats. You're not in respectful silence when West Ham fans sing "I'm forever blowing bubbles" or whatever.
None. It happens in basketball too and doesn't really bother me there.
Why can we only do 2-3 transfers in a window, yet some clubs can manage twice that many.
Just exacerbated by social media I guess.That is absolutely not a modern phenomena in any way mate.
Jermaine Jenas
any discussion involving the acronym GOAT.
Remember that time someone uploaded a highlight reel of a player to Youtube without adding some shite mumble rap track over the top, instead of just using the match audio?
No, me neither.
It's all over Instagram too. It could just be a 20 second clip of a goal, and it just has to have a godawful soundtrack tied to it.

Always thought this had something to do with Copyright?
Two different kits being worn in the same season. Stop. Release it over summer.
I’m not quite fully serious, but in a world of marginal gains, each team should have to play each other in consistent kits. A random game at the end of the season where one side uses a kit it’s not worn against anyone else is a bit weird.
