Cameras cutting to managers and players on the sideline for no good reason while play goes on. Gets me properly riled up.
Only unreasonable things that get you annoyed. You're not doing it right.Paul Merson opinions.
Drives me up the fecking wall. Rashford did some outrageous skill on the endline against Arsenal. Did we see a single replay? Oh no. Did we get at least a dozen shots of Arteta poncing around on the sideline? Oh yes.Cameras cutting to managers and players on the sideline for no good reason while play goes on.

Clickbait tactics. A problem that goes beyond football. Annoying as feck though. I agree.Not really football so much as the reporting on football: the style of headline found online, saying something along the lines of Ten Haag told he must sell this player. You open the article (more fool me) and realize that it's a cretin like Agbonlahor, someone whose existence ETH would likely be oblivious of, making some moronic claim.
Nah, it's quite easy.Doesn't really answer the question for me. A "natural step" leaves a lot of room for interpretation. Which leads to controversial decisions, which we have enough of in the game as it stands, in my opinion.
It's also called a penalty for a reason. There's supposed to be consequences for committing a foul inside your own box.
If you say so. Not sure the lawmakers or referees would agree though.Nah, it's quite easy.
The game is all about interpretation. The game wasn't worse ten years ago when this penalty rule wasn't in place. We didn't have a 10% conversion rate.If you say so. Not sure the lawmakers or referees would agree though.
And that is one of the biggest things football fans complain about when it comes to rules and refs.The game is all about interpretation. The game wasn't worse ten years ago when this penalty rule wasn't in place. We didn't have a 10% conversion rate.
The port city of Livorno is called "Leghorn" in English for some reason.There's this weird thing about Italian cities, where every other language has a way to call them but the correct Italian way.
Weirdest case Is Firenze to Florencia (don't know have it's called in English but I assume is closer to Florencia than Firenze)
English names for Italian locations are usually derived from Latin or the local language/dialect of the region.The port city of Livorno is called "Leghorn" in English for some reason.
I don't.And that is one of the biggest things football fans complain about when it comes to rules and refs.
Agreed - I guess it's the wording that particularly grates - 'ETH told...' To be told, he needs to actually be listening, and who the feck would ever listen to someone like Agbonlahor?Clickbait tactics. A problem that goes beyond football. Annoying as feck though. I agree.
The funny thing is every time we have the ball and the camera cuts away for a close-up of something irrelevant, when the camera comes back onto the actual match the opposition now has possession of the ball and we have no idea how it happened.Cameras cutting to managers and players on the sideline for no good reason while play goes on.

To add to that.Cameras cutting to managers and players on the sideline for no good reason while play goes on. Gets me properly riled up.
They could probably move the penalty spot back a yard or even two at this point.Tweet

Keepers being mandated to stay on their line during a pen. Joke.
The ball is now a ball-width closer.The game is all about interpretation. The game wasn't worse ten years ago when this penalty rule wasn't in place. We didn't have a 10% conversion rate.
That Argentina fellow Montiel throwing himself to the ground holding his face everytime a player runs past him.Players rolling around clutching their face when the replay shows they it was minimal contact.
Thank you, I've wondered about this since foreverEnglish names for Italian locations are usually derived from Latin or the local language/dialect of the region.
Padova - Padua comes from the Ventian form Padoa
Livorno - Leghorn comes from Genoese form Ligorna
Firenze - Latin Florentia became Florence in English
Taurinium (Latin) became Torino in Italian and Turin in English while the name of province Piedmont (Piemonte) is from Old French.
I'd assumed this came from Ferguson's book where he famously said Steven Gerrard wasn't a "top, top player". It might predate that or have happened independently though.People referring to "top, top players". Isn't top the highst level? Is a "top, top, top player" better than a "top, top player"? Where does it end? Similar to that is people using arbitrarily, or undefined terms like "elite" and what not.
fixedThat people give a shit about international football.
It's "unreasonably" annoyed.Watching Manchester United play.
Heh yeah, wanted to write that but I do understand how a WC / Euros / Copa America will get people hyped up.fixed
I'm not sure what book you're referring to but must be one of the books after he retired. If it is, it predates that by decades. Ferguson was just another person who used it.I'd assumed this came from Ferguson's book where he famously said Steven Gerrard wasn't a "top, top player".

I think it might happen cos they're put on the spot and under pressure, but it's really annoying.Pundits with short memories. Some daft Irish pundit said today was a new low for us. Its not even a new low for this year.

Yeah it's one that came out in about 2013, but fair enough if it's been around for decades. I haven't seen it used but I live far away.I'm not sure what book you're referring to but must be one of the books after he retired. If it is, it predates that by decades.
