Their more likely to be handing shirts back, the last few years at QoS. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QoS99 Posted May 28 Share Posted May 28 Another thing which annoys me, which you only see at elite level football is people caring who their “sporting director” or “technical director” are. Seen on Sky Sports a few weeks ago a young kid getting a photo with David Brailsford at Man United. Like who honestly gives a f**k. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Golden God Posted May 30 Share Posted May 30 Pundits saying it shouldn’t be a penalty for hand ball because the player didn’t mean it, short of a Suarez v Ghana situation, no player is ever going to actively choose to handle the ball in the box. It being deliberate or not should only be considered in terms of booking the player. All these new stats that appear ever year, things like xG I can understand but when they’re saying “duels won and “successful dribbles” etc it drives me mental. What determines a “successful” dribble? If you run by a midfielder in to a crowded area is that successful dribble? You’ve got by him but you’ve not gained any advantage. You can “win” a duel if the ball bounces off you and onto a team mate but that is just luck, it also doesn’t mean you’re in a better position, say it goes to your fullback who’s immediately under pressure and blasts it up the park to no one? There’s so many stats now that people will find any one to claim a player they like actually played well despite anyone who actually watched the game knowing they done f**k all. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GordonS Posted May 30 Share Posted May 30 Sorry if this has been mentioned here before, but I couldn't find it - subs that aren't ready to come on. Not even wearing their tops, causing everyone to wait while they get dressed for that thing they knew they were probably going to be expected to do. How hard is it to be kitted up like everyone else before the game starts? 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How hard is it to be kitted up like everyone else before the game starts? There's certainly times that's deliberate to slow the game down, others it's not great, I also find it quite funny the desperation to show some things on an iPad. Yes it's good to give more info, but you'd hope this would be constantly relied to subs and not try in have them learn if all whilst pulling their socks up 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saw that at the Aberdeen East end-deveronside game last week.why doesn't the ref just say "play on,next break he can come on,if he's ready"! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrewDon Posted June 9 Share Posted June 9 The proliferation of woke e-tickets. Obviously bad for ticket perverts like me who just like having and keeping a physical ticket, but also deprives the humble fan of one of football's joys: an irate supporter invading the pitch to throw their (season) ticket at a hapless manager. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stats themselves often can't tell you much, but made-up nonsense stats are even worse. It's as if those who are in charge of broadcasting the game don't have the confidence that their product (the most popular sport in the world) is enough to hold interest, that more intrigue has to be manufactured in the form of bullshit statistics. I now actively ignore anyone who starts going on about xG and other related nonsense. And Guardiola can f**k off an a'. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PauloPerth Posted June 9 Share Posted June 9 On 27/05/2024 at 12:46, 19QOS19 said: Came on to post this. Pitch invasions in general. Overdone now. I think the thing that annoys me about them is that you can almost guarantee about 90% of the folk on the pitch haven't attended a game before that day. I’d build a gun tower in the corner of all grounds and mow down anyone who pitch invades. Would soon put an end to it. As you say, most regular fans don’t pitch invade, it’s day trippers attention seeking or a sheep effect because others have done it. If you weren’t a fat waste of space you might have earned the right to be on the park, but you are, so stay in the stands with the rest of us. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Brightside Posted July 2 Share Posted July 2 Undoubtably been mentioned already, but these blue tick Twitter accounts that have hundreds of thousands of followers. They seem to think they are some sort of authority on football despite them, more often than not, having the worst takes and banter known to man. Some of the more annoying examples are the Man U one that was obsessed about Martial and that Ajax boy that has been bodied numerous times for his awful opinions. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
