Things about football that get you unreasonably annoyed…

A forward pushes a defender in one box, referee blows the whistle immediately, no doubt it's a free-kick. Carbon copy the same push in the other box by a defender on a forward and the referee waves it away as not enough contact. The whole commentator cliche "if it was anywhere else on the pitch it would be a penalty" to cover for referees bottling decisions.

Would love to see a referee have the balls to punish some of these as dives by defenders and dish out yellow cards and free kicks the opposite way. Indirect free kicks if it's inside the box.
 
Have to say listening to Jim Beglin ( I think it is?) on co-commentary irritates the hell out of me. What a dumbarse.

The way people slate forwards (think Neymar, Fernandes, Suarez) for diving but then completely ignore that in any given game of football you watch, the biggest divers are defenders under the slightest bit of pressing in their own half of the field.

Be a fullback reviving a pass 10 yards outside your own box, wait for a forward to get within 3 feet of you and just flounce yourself to the floor with a scream. Freekick 100% of the time. It happens 15 times in every game and it boils my piss.

We’d see so many more quick turnover goals and football would be far less boring if they cut this shit out.

Missing a goal in a live game because the broadcaster is too busy showing replays of a minor incident.

Sky were too busy showing a crappy scuffed shot in the Southampton V Liverpool game that we just missed a goal. You don't have to show a replay of everything ffs.
 
Peter Drury's commentary is really starting to feck me off now.

He was so ridiculously over the top for both goals yeseterday

"Patterns of play"

Depends how it's used for me. Fine if used to differentiate between a team has no discernible plan and one with a style of play that has some sort of idea/tactic. Could say full backs often overlapped wingers often in SAF's 4-4-2 for example and that was a pattern.

If it's talking about things that get repeated over and over again with everyone being robotic in extremely well rehearsed moves like the worst of watching Pep's teams and someone actually wants to see that then it can bog off and so can it's usage as a phrase!
