gobby kants like henderson who run their mouth on the pitch giving it large when you know they would struggle to knock out a w@nk, let alone a full grown man

That time he squared up to Diego Costa... Like something out of a pantomime... Joey Tribiani "smell the fart" acting

Clapping a minute's silence because people are too stupid to not make noise.

Players adding the sound effect of a scream when diving to con the ref, but jump up a few seconds later to take the freekick like nothing happened

Prickks that spend half the game with their camera phones out

This x 100% and the same for the twaats that do similar at concerts. Why bother going?

1. Taking the ball into the corner late on instead of going for a goal and killing the game off or good old fashioned keep ball. Cowardice.

2. Playing out from the back is just high risk low reward. 9 times out of 10, the keeper ends up under pressure and just pumps it long anyway, well done on wasting 11 seconds of a football match

3. Covering mouths with hands when speaking. Obviously free speech is on the way out but really, you cant talk about a football match without masking it

4. Skysports coverage of womens football. The scores at the bottom of the screen slightly annoying as they can be mistaken as women is missing from the team names. Are there any women genuinely sat at home over the weekend listening to match updates on a woman's football match? Surely there must only be about 100 people interested in listening to a woman talk about pub league standard football

1. Don't like that but it is understandable. Not against the laws as such. Could it be made so that it's against the spirit/ungentlemanly conduct?

2.I don't think this is true is it? May be the perception when watching United but I'm sure Ross has pointed out the net gain in this previously. We just need to improve.

3. Depends what they're saying I suppose. With everyone jumping on them on social media etc perhaps not a surprise!

4. I don't follow women's football myself but have no problem with its promotion. Not hurting me really.

I went to a firework display last night and the woman in front filmed all 25 mins of it. Told her at the end when she chatted with Mrs DC "You'll never, ever watch that back will you?"

agree totally. It's just to say 'I was there' and seemingly to make themselves look interesting to there facebook following. They're not as bad as the ones that takes photos of there domino pizzas 🤨

Professionals who cannot play with their weak foot. Particularly goalkeepers. So what if a defender plays it back to your wrong foot, you are literally paid millions to kick a ball. Practice with your weak foot so you can kick it good with it.

This and don’t get me started on the clowns that actually video themselves during the game.

When a skilful player mis controls the ball and the commentator says “he couldn’t bring that one under his spells”. Irritates the life out of me for some reason.

If I'm going somewhere I may take a couple of pictures but that's it. I want to get lost in that moment (football ground/gig) and not spend time filming it. If I wanted footage I'll look online!

"Cultured left foot" - what makes it so different to the right foot.

Another irritant is when a striker has a shot and is clattered by someone flying in. Very rarely is a pen given but that's a foul anywhere else and the defender flying in has certainly had some influence.

People who leave 5 minutes before full time and block the view for the rest of us.

People who arrive 5 minutes after kick-off and block the view for the rest of us. Especially the part time fans who can't find their seat and stand there oblivious to the match going on and the people trying to watch it.

Trying to get served at the concourse kiosks. Doesn't matter which ground you are at, the kiosk staff have always been recruited from the same school of catering chaos. It is a miracle how they all manage to achieve the same look of detached, uninterested, unhelpful boredom whilst they muster the energy to wander fruitlessly behind the counter in search of a hot dog / coffee / beer / braincell (insert as appropriate).

Female commentators, doesn't work. Pundits absolutely fine but high pitched commentary is god awful.

Goal music; horrendous tacky addition to a match just like the "you're shiiiiit ahhhhhhhh" chant.

Referring to wins like yesterday's West Ham win as a "famous" victory. West Ham are an excellent side, not some plucky League Two club in the Carling Cup and it's downright disrespectful to refer to it as "famous".

Maybe his left foot has a bit of a fungal infection?

Mould/Molde?

Fan channels, in the early days I thought they were a good thing but now they're a plague, getting 1000s of followers had given some people massive egos and they think they're experienced football pundits when in reality they just say negative stuff for interactions and make money off the clubs they pretend to support.
