It's purely for the effect on TV and social media and only harms the actual experience of being there. The people who do it are irredeemable d1ckheads. 7 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...

My biggest bugbear a list of things keepers would rather do than actually catch a ball is Beat, bat, parry, punch, fist, tip, tap, finger, slap, kick, I get as much enjoyment watch a goalkeeper make a flying catch as I do from a goal 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Golden God Posted July 15 Share Posted July 15 “X has got to be the most unlikeable footballer in the world”. The sport contains rapists, domestic abusers, racists, homophobes, I could go on, but yes Carvajal is worse cause he wound someone up. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GordonS Posted July 15 Share Posted July 15 Video advertising boards. Maybe made worse as I have ADHD, but I find it very difficult not to have my attention drawn to them. The standard static ones aren't too bad, I only get distracted by them when they change. The ones with animation or moving text and the double-height ones pioneered by Man City drive me nuts, to the point that if I'm not particularly interested in the game I'll switch it off. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miguel Sanchez Posted July 23 Share Posted July 23 "recycling possession" is something I've seen on the Tartan Army and Euros board and I can't tell if it's the usual gimps taking the piss or it's an actual genuine thing people say about football now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're designed to draw attention. Our eyes are drawn by moving things on our periphery (even when we're not conscious of it). It's an evolutionary thing. Having ADHD (or to be more specific, a highly active limbic system where you're scanning for threat all the time) may make that more conscious, but probably won't make it worse. Advertising like this shouldn't be allowed in football. I want to be absorbed in the game, not have my attention pulled away deliberately every 10 seconds. It adds to the stress. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
palmy_cammy Posted July 25 Share Posted July 25 I remember being at Hampden for a Scotland game a while back and one of the electronic advertising boards had gone wonky and was brightly flickering between all the colours of the rainbow. It was distracting from miles back in the stand so I’ve no idea what effect it was having on the players. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theoriginalhedge Posted July 26 Share Posted July 26 The SFA introducing a shambolic registration system 3 weeks before the start of the league cup group games. I think almost every club involved in the league cup have had problems and are still having problems registering players. Youth level is even worse. Word is they are also going to be introducing a signing fee for each player and anyone registered as a coach . So much for trying to promote grass roots football. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cove the first to be punished . Going by the Cove statement, it looks like their new signing fell victim to the changeover in the SFA systems with some information not transferring. But true to form, the SFA blame Cove. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
