The amount of time it takes a team to take a free kick. The opposing team stand in front of the ball. The referee talks to a player to explain why he's penalised him. As if the player didn't know. The referee them moves the ball back from where the team has moved forward to. The referee then saunters into position. etc . It takes up to a minute for each one. Longer if he has to use that spray.
A team tried to take a quick free kick the other week. The referee made them retake it as he hadn't moved the wall back, and sprayed the ground.
The referee ignoring time wasting all game. Then in the 89th minute warns the keeper about it. He then books him in the 91st minute.
The way the referees seem to change what they penalise players for, each season. The next season they seem to ignore that and pick on something else. The rules haven't changed in the meantime.
The way 22 players and managers try to cheat the referee all game. The odds are in their favour.
Interestingly, the video referee, if applied correctly, could change the game as we know it. All goals are to be reviewed. Teams may suddenly have multiple goals ruled out for fouls at set pieces. Or maybe the vr will spot a different offence by a defender and give a penalty. Could be carnage for a few weeks.

Teams wearing their away kit when the home one wouldn't clash.
Playing music when there's a goal.
Awful food, if music festivals can have great food then surely football clubs can too.
Being allocated somewhere with a crap view when a better part of the ground looks available.
Grounds having no cover in rain like Bromley.
Tinpot clubs with moneybags sugardaddies.
Refs being conned by diving.
Players hobbling off to time waste when being substituted.
Being patted down by stewards on the way in.
Refs never adding enough minutes to account for time wasting, nor booking players for it.
Refs bottling early bookings or second bookings, same with penalties when it would be a foul anywhere else.
Players getting away with holding the other player with their arms.
Throwings being awarded when 100% of the ball has clearly not crossed the line.
Refs in an attempt not to be swayed by the romance of a small team against a big team, seem to go the other way and over favour the big team. Stuart Whitehall's disallowed goal at Blackburn for example.
Wrexham.
That's just a few, it's a wonder I ever go to football.

Minor Irritations (no particular order): -Pointless statistics e.g number of sprints - football cliches e.g “we taking it one match at a time” and so on!! - “there was contact - so what it was supposed to be a contact sport! - removing bottle tops from drinks - non black football boots - players dancing after scoring a goal Major irritation: - my wife You'd better hope she doesn't read this, lol. |

Wasn't he the plonker who blew the whistle for full time just as the ball was going into the net for a goal for somebody? A major irritation is surely allowing play to continue when time is up, particularly when Manchester Dhabi are playing, or have the rules changed so that play continues until a City cheat takes the inevitable dive? He didn't do it correctly! If I remember correctly, he was "retired" after that incident. |

Football grounds that are being constantly renamed for sponsorship purposes. Appreciate the financial benefits it brings (including to ourselves) but these days I’d struggle to correctly name a decent number of Football League grounds, when not so long ago I could have instinctively named them all.

Yes. If you watch Final Score or Soccer Saturday now you keep hearing things like "and now over to the Toilet Duck Arena" and you think "who the hell plays there?", then you find that's just what they're calling Selhurst Park these days. It's like every ground needs an official and unofficial name. Even from a historical point of view it's awkward. If you're writing an article about head to head meetings between Chester and another club, you could end up writing something like "these two teams have met at the Swansway Chester Stadium three times before, although for two of those meetings it was called the Deva Stadium and for the other it was the Lookers Vauxhall Stadium." It's the same bloody stadium! It should be accepted that yes, the SCS is the official name right now, but the Deva is a non-time or sponsorship sensitive way to refer to it. |

The amount of grappling that goes on in the penalty box when there's a corner. If the refs started to give pens there would be a dozen in each match at first but teams would soon cut it out once they knew they couldn't get away with it. Great call, and spot on. What does my head in is that offenders don't even try to hide the grappling or do it in a discreet manner. At times it verges on GBH, and I find it even more galling that the TV pundits dismiss it as being 'part of the game'. They seemed to clamp down on it last season, but have given up this season. Plus if its outside the penalty area they give it. |

To cheer me up after today's 'performance'...
Stadium PA announcers who think they're on X Factor. The Man City one is especially annoying.
When players say, "it was always my dream to play for..." (insert latest moneybags team)
When England have "prestige" friendlies.
Didn't work - still feel miserable!

As there is no major irritations thread. . . .
Our Manager and nearly all our players!
Wasting a whole day travelling to various uninteresting parts of the country. Getting stuck in traffic jams. Only to watch us getting completely outplayed and stuffed for almost the whole 90 minutes. Then travel back home. If Carlsberg made days out, it wouldn't be watching Chester FC.

The music when the home team scores has been mentioned, in particular the one that Halifax played four times yesterday. I frigging hate that one so much, to hear it four times on the commentary was revolting enough, I can't imagine how it felt for you poor buggers being there.

Brings a tear to my eye watching that Wrexham match. What a game it was, played in front of 20,000. Brian Lloyd was magnificent that night. It was the year we had our best ever team, finishing near the top in what is now League 1, a feat that unfortunately will never be repeated. It was also the year that Wrexham went up to the Championship.

In World Cup TV coverage, all Brazilian fans are bronzed, samba-dancing, 20 something beauties, whereas all England fans have large bellies and bright pink 'tans'

When the 4th official rolls the ball onto the pitch after the previous one went out of the ground. Why can’t they boot it to the other side to quicken the game up a bit?

This craze with fans recording the volume of goal celebrations outside the ground to show how “noisy” they are. Usually done by teams who live off past glories like Liverpool and Newcastle. Oh and filming games on I pads at places like Anfield.

I hate when teams play short from a Goal-kick just to play it back to the keeper and boot it up anyway, but this time under more pressure. surely it is better to boot it from the 6 yard box under no pressure and when all your players know where and when it is going up the field. Also corners, a professional football player should be able to put the ball on a six-pence from a corner as he is under no pressure and can take his time. This means that using hand/arm signals your team has the advantage as you know where the ball is going whilst the opposition doesn't so why are only 3-4% of corners resulting in goals?  really grinds my gears This figure has probably increased in Chester games as the season has progressed. Even more bizarre is that the taker raises his arm when he only needs to hoof it in the general direction of our goal. Another one that irritates me is 'shielding' the ball out for a goal kick. Anywhere else on the field and it is blatant obstruction isn't it? |
