Yes, exactly, and it's not among the most irritating things in football. I just don't see why anyone gets that worked up over something that minor, that's all. It's a tiny problem, in my opinion.

Says you!!!  i didn't realise they had to be things YOU got worked up over. 
Did you miss the title of the thread??? Opinions eh.... 

BTW - your Straw man reference to foul throws and pulling and dragging - I started with a new paragraph - this normally infers the discussion has moved on to something different.  Still.......maybe you missed that too.

Jeez, you follow up the straw man with an ad hominem. Of course I was only giving my opinion that it's not among the *most* irritating things in football. I was asking why you think foul throws are a bigger or more serious problem than the other things mentioned. You still haven't answered that. I just don't think it's a massive problem that needs anything serious done about it, or that it affects the game.

You mentioned the pulling and dragging thing in direct reference to my "suprious" (sic) argument that penalising foul throws would, like giving penalties for grappling, lead to ten penalties in a game (followed by the aforementioned laughing faces). It was a new paragraph which would normally infer that the discussion has moved on. However, where the paragraph begins "Oh, and...", I think it's reasonable to infer that it is a continuation of the existing topic (which it clearly was) rather than something different or unrelated.

I would prefer if we could ignore the bullsh*t with winky faces and passive-aggressive smileys at the end of every sentence (which add nothing to the argument, btw) and actually discuss the topic at hand: the most irritating things in football. Simple question: why are you saying foul throws among the most irritating things in football, in comparison to other irritations like penalty area grappling, diving, faking injury, timewasting and cynical fouling (to give a selection of things mentioned earlier)? I mean, in my opinion (which it seems is a phrase I now have to add every time I am mentioning something which is clearly an opinion just to make sure it is understood as that, even though it should be obvious, seeing as some people appear to be unable to tell the difference), each of those things, and more, are more irritating than a few foul throws, in my humble opinion, which is just an opinion of course, and isn't fact, but is just my opinion, just to be clear. /sarcasm

Sigh.

Lets go back to the Thread title.

Most irritating things in Football.

Posters before me listed many of the things that irritate me in football, about virtually all of which I agreed.

Nobody had posted about foul throws going unpunished so I did.

You took me up that I regarded foul throws as more irritating than anything else that had been previously posted. How did you arrive at that conclusion? 

IIRC, I never compared anything as being worse than anything else - you drew that conclsuion yourself, incorrectly. 

Emoticons are there for a reason - if you don't want to use them because they don't suit your personality, then fine -  or you could ask a Moderator to have them removed from the site. /BIG sarcasm.  - I like using them - you don't. 

However,  asking people not to use them because they don't appeal to you smacks of control freakery to me..!!  /my opinion

I use emoticons to show that this list is really for fun, and not at all serious.....but hey....some people view this list as a very serious place to come....to each their own I suppose. 

of course you might want to put me on your ignore list?  Problem solved! 

FW - always up for a  - not sure if everyone else is though!!
