Fans shouting about off-side when they're stood behind the goal.

Talking about the 'last man rule'.

Getting upset about a footballer moving clubs to get more money.

Fans posting about games they didn't go to.

The whole 'not celebrating scoring a goal against a former club'.

Contrived celebrations, especially that baby rocking thing.

The weird rule that if a striker gets a shot off, or a winger crosses the ball in, a foul is never given regardless of how late the challenge is.

Footballers not actually putting the ball in the quadrant when they take a corner.

Long lists of general moans by internet tossers.

Music after goals.

Drums.

Strikers wearing number 2 or 5 or defenders wearing 10 or 11. Wear proper numbers for your position!

Queuing for food/drinks while the game is still going on and moaning about not being able to see properly.

Trying to steal half a yard at fthrow-ins.

Referees tediously showing where the ball should be put and then allowing the player to obviously move it closer to goal and doing nothing.

Internet forums.

Giving over 1/3 of the popular side to 45 away fans so that the poor cherubs don't risk getting wet.

Uneducated TV pundits who make no effort to do any research into foreign teams.

TV pundits who make statements such as "he was fully entitled to go down there" following a challenge in the box.

Supporters who support a team that has no relation to where they live eg London Alty

On that theme, managers who complain that playing sat-tues-sat counts as 3 games per week.. No it doesn't it's 2 games per week.

Also, games in the premier league don't "come thick and fast" over Christmas - you play 3 or 4 games in 10-12 days and always have done for years before Sky invented football in 1992.

People who think goalkeepers are still subject to the "6 second rule"


Indirect free kick

An indirect free kick is awarded to the opposing team if a goalkeeper, inside his own penalty area, commits any of the following four offences:

    controls the ball with his hands for more than six seconds before releasing it from his possession
    touches the ball again with his hands after he has released it from his possession and before it has touched another player
    touches the ball with his hands after it has been deliberately kicked to him by a team-mate
    touches the ball with his hands after he has received it directly from a throw-in taken by a team-mate

This. How can 2 of the favorites to win the 'Champions League' this season finished 3rd in their leagues (Chelsea and Real Madrid). Just revert back to calling it the European Cup.

Dull as ditch water.
