Patronising commentators referring to 'this football club' or 'this football match'. We know it's fookin football. LOL

Same as. Watch very little nowadays. Haven't even watched a full Saints match yet this season. Keep an eye on what's going on because of FF and a Premier Picks thing we do but really couldn't be arsed. Haven't lost my interest with international or Irish domestic football. Prob pay more attention to lower league English football too. My interest levels flucuate depending what is going on in my life though

Does that include stopping the ball crossing the line with your arm for a certain goal? Genuine question, maybe i should have listened a bit more but i can't stand sky when they start analyzing something that was pretty obvious looking to me anyway.
Using your hand to stop a certain goal is still a red. 

Was it not one of the ones that was to be reviewed to be a yellow as the penalty and a red would be considered double punishment

That was for unintentional fouls.

Unintentional handballs should be the same! Harsh on James but the rules are the rules so the ref was correct.

The rules should be updated, he never should have got a red card for that.

The game seems to be going towards a few super clubs, owned by states or oligarchs, dominating the game. Only those clubs seem to be able to sign the best, look at Haaland for instance, it was a shock he went to Dortmund, themselves a massive club, yet that will just end up being a finishing shop for him before a move elsewhere. On the flip side, Messi move ass inevitable and depressing. 

It's brutal.

At the same time, our own league is doing well it seems, hopefully more people see that 'top level' football is toxic and come to their local loo ground.

Arsenal FanTV and the exposure it gets. Complete and utter embarrassment and the individuals involved are gobsh*tes.

Names on the back of jersey that aren't the players surname. Bruno can f*ck off, and the same with Dele and Alexis. 

XG.

Fans using 'We': Why do you have to be a player to say 'We'? Would you talk like that when talking about Ireland?

Fans using nickanmes: I think some players are more so known by their nickname. I don't see an issue with that. Calling a player by another part of their name that they are not universally known as, I wouldn't say is annoying but just very strange.  Examples: 

Roy Keane = Known as Keano or Roy Keane. Keane is ok but can be confused with Robbie. Calling him simply Roy is a little strange but also acceptable due to the Robbie Keane similarity.  

Robbier Keane = Known as Robbie or Robbie Keane. Keane is ok but can be confused with Roy. Calling him anything else like Robert is very strange.

Paul Gascoigne = Known as Gazza. Calling him by his full name of Paul Gascoigne or simply Gascoigne are a little strange. Calling him Paul is super strange. 

Wayne Rooney = Known as Rooney or Wayne Rooney. Calling him Wayne is strange. Calling him Wazza if you are not a Utd or England teammate is not only strange but sad

Indeed. Sure next time he wants to talk about Pele for example irelandfan should really be saying Edson Arantes do Nascimento instead if the nickname thing bothers him that much  LOL

The immaturity of the average football fan who can only speak about the game through the emotional attachment they made to whichever team they decided to support as kid. Makes grown men sound like fourteen year olds. A Man U fan not being able to talk objectively about Liverpool for instance or vice versa. I noticed a couple silly posters trying to talk down Ronaldo signing for Man U in another thread for example. That's just ridiculous. 

Immature football fans is my biggest annoyance ahead of:

VAR. What a cock up for the sport.

Undisclosed transfer fees.

"We go again" is the worst phrase in football.

Players writing their soppy farewell messages to the fans of the team they are leaving. I'll make exceptions for club legends.

Yep. 

Yerp. Also with the number of games on TV I’m really not that bothered. 
How many games would you actually watch with your full attention?
Unless it’s champions league quarter finals or Ireland playing I spend most of the time with the football on the box but playing around on my phone.

Fans with signs at games asking for players jerseys. Becoming the norm to see it most games now.
