Football pet hates

I honestly couldn’t remember Brian Swanston working for Tyne-Tees back in the day. Clip of him in Zeljeznicar in 2002 as a 21 year old.

Took over from Roger Thames iirc.

No doubt. I do like the transfer podcast though. Dharmesh has such a low opinion of himself that the guest feels comfortable and talks and talks. The Sir Les one is great for this. A lot of time spent talking about his time here and the circumstances that led to his departure.

I've just watched that interview on the strength of what you said.

Yeah, it's an honest, intelligent and convincing account of his time here, and of why ultimately we weren't successful. A great watch.

Feel bad for saying this but the bald lad from Newcastle fans tv. I don’t expect Shakespeare from a fan channel but I find his constant grammatical errors To be really annoying

For example this tweet:

“Wernt a bad player was

@Alan Shearer“

“Fans tv” in general, is a particular pet hate.

Yep. Hate the concept.

The term "fan base". We just used to be supporters and this term annoys me more than it should.

Neymar. The man is just a total embarrassment.

Everyones love affair with Bielsa.

Leeds in general. Supposedly everyone’s second favourite team. Fuck off, they’re vile.

I don't get stuff like this. I mean fair enough if from previous rivalries you don't like them - I obviously get that part and same goes for any given club - but what's the disdain about people potentially liking a team that goes out to attack the opposition and therefore is very entertaining to watch?

It feels like a lot of people take the opposite position to popular rhetoric just to be contrary, as opposed to maybe just accepting they seem to be entertaining, and it's great to have such an innovative, different manager in the league?

It doesn't automatically mean you have to love everything about them, or even like them at all - but it's hardly unreasonable why some may take a liking.

The vast majority of people that like the Leeds football team, probably have never been to Leeds. But somebody had a bad Friday at trinity so the world should hate them.

While we’re on about Leeds. They have some of the shitest songs going. Marching on together is terrible and “all Leeds are we”. Really grates on me.

Jamie O'Hara.

Why? He seems an okay guy, no?

after the whistle blows players picking up the ball and running 20 yards with it+playing keep away like a cute cunt fuck you you should get carded

If there’s an article the refers to ‘soccer’ the constant ‘it’s called football ffs’ etc.

'Joy' as in 'they're getting a lot of joy down that left side'

I fucking hate it, and not only when Chris Waddle says it

When referees try and play an advantage, but there isn’t one. Then they don’t pull it back because it’s perceived that too much time has gone since the foul, even though there wasn’t an advantage to begin with.

Playing advantage these days just seems to be a reflection that the same team has the ball, even if they’re 40 yards from goal and have no team mates in sight.

There’s no real advantage at times and a free kick would probably be more useful.

The death of the long sleeve shirt

Aye. I’d probably near kill someone to still have my 95-97 LS (H) with Asprilla on the back.

Shit, I hadn't even noticed - but now that I think of it... Do they still sell them?

I think some teams/clubs do but not all, nowhere near as common on players either.

Never understood why some goalkeepers go for short sleeve too.

Bought this absolute bobby dazzla from NUFC Memorabilia the other month. Had it in short sleeves with Asprilla on as a bairn.

That’s exactly what I had. Weirdly the first person I think of when I see that top is Andreas Anderson.
