Pet hates in football

Short corners.

When the fans clap if a player knocks the ball in to touch for an injury hold up

Playing long ball when your striker is only 5ft 4

I'm surprised we finished anywhere near the top with Turner's antics last season.

Football messageboards. All full of people giving their 'opinions' on football related subjects. Bloody sick of it.

I saw that over on ccmb you were getting some abuse for something similar to the above. For ever quality poster on that board, there is a nasty git.

Yeah, I go on there for the abuse. It's cathartic.

Back passes to the goalkeeper, or constant pass exchanges between the centre backs.

Fans clapping when a player heads a simple ball back to the goalkeeper.

2 players standing of the ball (left footer and right footer) when you know there's only 1 person who's ever going to take it.

Players going down when there has been soft contact.

Pundits and commentators saying 'there was contact' if a soft penalty was given. Yes there was contact, it's a fucking contact sport.

Agree, looked a lot more threatening when playing "sensible" passes into the channels rather than hoofing it up there... Let's hope with Bellamy back they decide to use pace to get around the back 4.

Carrying the ball 30 yards and over into the opposition half then playing a backpass to central defender who's half asleep.

Did you not see his fantastic ball over the top for Etiens goal v Newcastle?!

People who don't support their local team is by far my biggest football pethate.

Stadium announcers trying to create an atmosphere or starting chants.
It's an embarrassment.

People incapable of operating the stadium clock.

Definately agree, too many Top 6 shirts in all communities, but does that mean I have to give up my 30 year obsession with CCFC (18 years living in South East of England) and start supporting Norwich?? .....I suppose that will save some fuel based on my 520mile round trip every other weekend..... Naahhhhh Can't do it, I'll die poor, but I'll die a bluebird!!!
