he's an absolute fanny!When English commentators criticise foreign players for diving or going down easy while ignoring Jack Grealish

"Hitting the bar/post". Cryuff was quoted as saying he loved the sound the crowd made when this happened. So if Ajax were well in front in a game he would deliberately hit the woodwork (or whatever the goal frame is made of) just to hear the crowd noise.Opposition players being allowed to block free kicks (quick or otherwise) by standing in front of the ball. Get back your yards or get in the book.
Fans complaining about timewasting but being against two halves of 30 mins ball in play time.
The notion that there is nothing we could learn from US sports in terms of how to improve the game. 'Americanised pish' is the general term used to denigrate good ideas and defend the miserable experience that is attending a game in Scotland.
If it's a foul in the centre circle, then it's a foul in the box.
If it's a bookable foul in the 87th minute, then it's a bookable foul in the 1st minute.
Offside is offside. It's entirely binary, you're either offside or onside. No degrees of offside exist.
Hitting the bar/post means nothing. It's off target.
People moaning about a performance where we win 3-0 cause 'if it wasn't for our keeper'. That is literally the reason why we pay a goalkeeper handsomely. He has one job - keep the ball out of the net. Doesn't matter how many shots he's faced, in fact with the wages we pay they should be facing more shots.
People placing a huge emphasis on goal difference. 11 times in history across all professional leagues in the world, and people are shitting their pants in September cause we scored less than the other lot.
People in general.
You’d think they were discussing matters of national security
Footy does my head in, usually used by someone who has never played. It is either football or fitbaw.

I’ll stick up for the women’s game here and say the standard is improving year on year and within 10-15 years could be very good. At the moment there’s a huge gulf in quality between the men’s and women’s game. Given time it will improve but equal pay is laughable at the moment.Women footballers saying they should be getting paid the same as men.
Start selling tickets at the same rate as the men’s game then fill yer wellies.
Mark Hateley did.You think they should have wee hankies up their sleeves?
Positions being talked about as numbers.
The number 10 position.
He’s playing as a 6.
Etc etc
Agree. Same as diving or "simulation" in new-speak. Should be bookable as it's a clear intention to deceive.Players who vehemently claim it’s their ball at a throw in or corner when it obvious to everyone, themselves, players, crowd, ref, tv audience that it’s the oppositions ball. Blatant cheating!
Mojo did and Capucho did too.I’m sure one of our players done this years ago. It always looks trampy, I’m sure it was MoJo?
Talking about players; "your Jacks, Kamaras, Lowries"
Although I found it difficult to touch a like button on anything relating to that twat, obituary apart , perhaps.John Hartson.

Fashion Sakala?Players who use their first name or a nickname on the back of their jersey.
Like Van Dijk having Virgil on his, or Javier Hernández having Chicarito.
In the same way that UEFA have decided 1 SPL goal does not equal 1 La Liga for the Golden Boot then the same can be said for 1 Men’s International cap and 1 Women’s International capAlex Scott, 140 caps for England! Jeez, they must have been playing an international game every fortnight of her career. Ian Rush on for the Wales game, 73 caps: Graeme Souness, 54 caps and she's on everything. Another former female player on ITV, 104 caps, not to mention the estuary English.
He’s like an intelligence black hole. He actually sucks IQ points from viewers.
“Pockets of space “The saying "well drilled" a buzzword for pundits when they dont what else to say.
Folk that say “in nets”Folk that say “in goals”.
Oh for sure.Folk that say “in nets”
“on pitch” wins itOh for sure.
I live down south and “in nets” and “on pitch” are common phrases.
Agony!
FIFA have a real thing about thatInternational teams playing in single block colours instead of their traditional kits:
Holland all orange instead of white shorts.
spain all red instead of blue shorts, black socks
etc
I agree, unfortunately!!“on pitch” wins it
Sky sports having a live timer in the bottom corner for the transfer deadline.
17 days, 6 hours, 34 minutes, 15 seconds until transfer deadline.
It shows how self important and silly it’s all become, and is like something David Mitchell would do in a parody.
