Most pointless things in football

Morning all

Watching the Burnley v Spurs game last night with no artificial crowd noise, it amplified a thought I've had for years now...

A corner is pumped into the box where there are approximately 18 players all scrapping to jump for the ball and either clear it or score a goal

The most pointless thing in football?

The defending keeper shouting 'away!

As if without this shout, a defender was going to bring it down on his chest and dribble his way out to safety

I'm interested to know, what your most pointless things in football are

Away you go!

You know what's actually worse than pointless? Sheffield Wednesday.

Can't decide what's more pointless - Sheffield Wednesday or actual Wednesday.

Oi Oi !!

You're right. Today has confirmed that actual Wednesday is far more pointless. Apologies.

I find the phrase ‘he reacts quickest’ as pointless, annoying and meaningless

Nearly all of the time the player who ‘reacts quickest’ is the player lucky enough for the ball to fall nearest to
----------------------------------------------------------------------

I laugh at the phrase "foot race". What other kind of race could there be on a football pitch?

Mower races ennit.

And The Transfer Show. Many hours of our lives we won't get back.

Dunno. In the days when the 'Sky Sports Girls' were allowed to tot about in heels and yellow cocktail dresses to match Jim's tie, it was quite interesting.

Matt Doherty at Spurs. Close to 30, poor defensively, poor offensively, worse than Aurier, doesn't smile, and is an Arsenal fan.
