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.
Things about football that get you unreasonably annoyed…

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) and Imran (@Annihilate Now!) are here to discuss three 1-1 draws.
The first got us knocked out of the FA Cup, the next puts us in a good position in our Round of 16 Europa League game, and the latest was an actual decent performance against Arsenal at Old Trafford.
All hopes for the season now rest on the Europa League - does Amorim have the squad to win it?

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.
People on this forum saying about an injured player:
"I forgot he existed."

United States Mutant Ninja Turtles.
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.
The money in it now. It’s beyond ridiculous.

"Patterns of play"
Allowing fecking Ed Sheeran to gatecrash a post match.
Peter Drury's commentary is really starting to feck me off now.
He was so ridiculously over the top for both goals yeseterday

In England they're known as USMHT
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!
Managers wearing scarves.
Feck off.
Feck off.
Watching extra times of a game I dont care about and one of the teams score just before the penalty shootout. Annoying as feck.
A really irrational one from me.
Terrible players wearing pink/yellow boots. Leave them to the star players, you only stand out even more as a terrible player when you're missing sitters and losing the ball every 2 minutes when you've got a pair of Hello Kitty pink boots on.
I saw a lad in a pro Rugby League game wearing them a week or so ago. His team got absolutely tonked, he was dreadful himself, yet he's running around with these Peppa Pig pink boots on like he's Jason Robinson.
Leave the flamboyant stuff to the flamboyant players. Usain Bolt deserved his gaudy gold spikes for running 9:58, they'd just look stupid on the representative sprinter from Gibraltar that's got a PB of 12:79.

I know when I spell my thought out it's obvious I'm the shallow one, but people that have their own name on the back of a shirt are sociopaths and me and them are never going to get along. Being a kid is no exception. I've had this thought since age 7 - it's weird.
Ooh can we add managers wearing baseball caps to that
Which for some reason seems to be about ten times more likely if they’re from the Bundesliga
Sometimes its the ridiculous time added on by the match officials.
In some cases pulled out of their arse and it pisses me off.

Wind your neck in
Tony Pulis wants a word.
every aspect of Martin Keown. cringey man. also players so focused on their image, always fixing their hair, see lindelof for example. or the new cutting your socks up trend
God, I still remember that game. We were winning in the 100th minute yet still somehow lost
I'm with you on this one.
It's even worse when you see a grown man with it, or they've got their daft nickname on it like Smigster or Shagger 69. Usually some bald fat bloke as well.
I won't wear a football shirt full stop, but the thought of wearing one with my name on it makes me feel almost dirty. Let the players wear the cheap nylon adverts, you can bugger off if you think I'm paying £100 to wear one and look like a dinlo in a pub full of other dinlos.
I try not to think of it. I see red when I doGod, I still remember that game. We were winning in the 100th minute yet still somehow lost
Bald managers.
They're annoyingly inconsistent. They're either excellent at the CL (Zidane), cheats (Pep) or just plain bad (Ten Hag).
Sort it out ffs.

Ahhh you've just reminded me of one - Harry Maguire sweeping his fringe like some Pavlovian response to anything that happens.
Won a corner, sweeps his fringe. Just conceded a goal, sweeps his fringe. Throw in, sweeps his fringe.
yea when them 2 were paired together there was more hair sweeping than a barbers floor. never seen pally or Bruce at such nonsense...or stam, but for different reasons
Why do people refer to football teams and players as plural
"I'm talking about your Arsenals, your Man Uniteds, your Chelseas"
" Your top players, you know, your Salahs, De Bruynes, Haalands"
Rio is an absolute bloody nightmare for it. Why not just refer to the team or player with their actual name!!!

I’m probably not the first to say this one but the whole charade of walking around a club’s badge printed on the floor rather than just walking across it as a sign of “respect”.
Fans shouting at opposition players for doing things that happen every week like taking their time walking off when being subbed when their team is winning, when obviously their own players do that
It happens. Get over it.
And yes, I should take my own advice.

They should call him out for it.
"Right Rio, name 5 Haalands, 3 Messis and 2 Chelseas"
When there's no title race to speak of 
When a team is in the lead and resort to time wasting, but then essentially get rewarded for that time wasting when the other team score a couple of quick goals but the ref adds 9 minutes of stoppage time.
Jordan Pickford.
Peter Drury and his prerehearsed lines that he just can't wait to trot out as soon as someone scores.
In a shootout, every single penalty taker going to their keeper whispering stuff to them.
Yeah, he knows he needs to save a penalty. Feck off back to the centre circle.

Genuinely thinks he was one of the top defenders in his era, rather than the 5th man in Arsenal's fabled back 4.
Under 18's with £25k of jewellery, a square metre of tattoos and a £500 haircut arriving somewhere in a range rover driven by someone else because they don't have a driving licence yet......
100% and anytime I see a picture of him in an England shirt it doesn't even look right. hard, yea but crap
