For a bit of Tuesday fun... What are your minor football irritations?
I'm not after things like corrupt owners, McCarthy or anything about our board, but silly little things that rile you?
Two things that annoy me...
- When a linesman doesn't give a free kick, but as soon as the referee awards it, he waves his flag furiously like he was going to give it all along.
- When commentators say, "He's headed it too well".

On the linesman theme what irritates me is when the ball goes out for a throw in and the linesman waits for the ref to point who's got the throw before raising his flag

A. Good point - I didn't think this through! OK... They can be minor or major irritations, but must be lighthearted! |

- Players who celebrate and congratulate each other for winning a penalty, before they've scored it.
- How often players get away with foul throws, mainly by not throwing it from behind their head.
- Fans who talk more about their rivals than their own team
- Players with ridiculous squad numbers. If they're a youth player or something, fair enough, but Ronaldinho wearing number 80 for AC Milan?
- Stadiums with retractable roofs that get closed for no reason. Football is an outdoor sport and unless it's going to make the match unplayable, the weather is part of the game.

Players who don't celebrate goals against their former teams in "respect" for their fans.
Err.... Its your current fans who are paying your wages, how about some respect for them.

Yeah, I don't get that either. You don't need to do an Adebayor and run the length of the pitch to gloat at them, but a normal celebration is fine. |

A million bloody angles of goals being scored on tv.
I can see what is coming in the future, cameras in footy boots and cameras implanted into different body parts.

I actually like that. Shows a sign of respect to them. Scott Rendell (and to quote Alan partridge) deserved to have tar, rocks and hot bovril thrown at him when he wildly celebrated against the club who had paid thousands for his rehab. I hate it when you get players who taunt the opposition fans when they score. Some nobodies for Flyde and Sutton did it this season against us this season. Absolutely no need at all. |

I can understand it, if it's a player whose been at a club for ten years or so, but not someone who'd only been at the club they've scored against for a season or so. Other things that annoy me... 1) watching European/international games and seeing the 5th official behind the goal, standing on the side closest to the linesman... surely the linesman has that side covered and this 5th official should be on the opposite side of the goal, furthest away from the linesman. 2) Throw-ins being taken miles away from where the ball actually went out. 3) Teams giving the ball back, by booting it down by the corner flag, when a team has put the ball out of play in the other half of the field, when a player is injured. |

- Commentators moaning about refs even when they get decisions right, saying "he can't possibly have seen that, he's guessed etc"
- Playing music when goals are scored
- Teams who take a free kick too quickly and waste it, only for the ref to bring play back and let them take it again. No, you've taken it and wasted it. In fact the whole concept of taking a free kick "too quickly" doesn't make much sense - given that it's the other team that committed the offence, shouldn't you be allowed to take as quickly as you want? But if you take it quickly and make a mess of it, as most teams do, tough luck!
- Mediocre clubs like West Brom and Burnley going to Thailand, China, Japan etc in pre-season as a marketing exercise and playing teams who offer no physicality at all. Play your LOCAL teams.

Play your LOCAL teams. To take the mediocre club thing a bit further. I like to think that the reason I've lost interest in the premier league is because of the amount of money behind it, sky etc. In reality though, I started to lose interest when more and more smaller clubs made it there at the expense of some of the more traditional top flight, well supported teams. Let's face it, Brighton V Bournemouth could and has regularly been a league 2 fixture.
I don't mind the odd one there now and again, Wimbledon in the 80's was a great story but it's getting rather silly now. Any old Saudi prince can take a team up through the leagues with a bit of spare cash and it's now left the premier league, not as one of the greatest leagues in the world but rather dull.
I miss the likes of Leeds, Sheff Wed, Forest, Villa and I'd like to see them back in the top flight with strong teams and make the division more competitive right through it.
Imagine, had we got through to the FA cup 3rd round and praying for an away tie to a premier league club and then drawing Bournemouth away? How shit would that be?

Pundits on tv who watch a blatant dive 3 times on playback then announce it was a free kick or pen because there was contact, you get more contact walking around a busy supermarket but you don’t get people throwing themselves to the floor and rolling round, you can add rolling round like you have been shot then getting up once the card comes out to the list.

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 |

Managers and coaches appealing for every decision no matter how obviously it's for the other team Agree with this. People are called out as cheats for diving for a penalty, but no one seems to say much about players appealing for throw-ins when they know full well it's not their's. Happens 20 times a game. |

When the 4th official rolls the ball on the pitch slowly after the previous one went over the stand.
Players who stay on the floor after diving, then jump straight back up when their team is on the attack.
Players who fake injury to waste time, but as soon they re-enter the pitch they run around as if nothing has happened.

Players who complain to the referee when sent off after an appalling late tackle. Particularly if they are called Carter. At least Luke George would walk straight off with a wry smile.

When there’s a bad tackle or foul early in a game and no booking as’its early in the game’. 10 mins later same foul. Yellow card.
