4 evil things in football.

[GrandOldTeam]

1. Retrospective disciplinary action, and it's lack of consistency/bias.
2. Scapegoat/blame culture. An example. After every goal, commentators will instantly look for the 'at fault', rather than praise the goal. Over analysis. "If he was stood here, he wouldn't have scored..."
3. BBC Live Text Match Updates. "Sports Day" or whatever they call it.
4. 'Soccer Saturday' / 'Soccer AM' and the type of "pundit" it attracts - BANTZ/KAMMY all that crap.

You go.

[Dithering Dougie]

Simulation
Inconsistent refereing
Players kicking the ball out when they don't have to
The offside rule

 

[BlueLlama]

John Aldridge.

Financial fair play shambles

Diving

The WOrld Cup being for sale to the Earth's most corrput nations.

 

[Brad McEachern]

Kopites, bullying of referees, diving and racism that you see in certain aspects of football

 

[GwladysStreetHero]

Chelsea And Man City's spending power

Refs who look after the top teams considered by the newspapers and sky

Players going down too easy and rolling about the place

MOTD

 

[Adam_EFC]

Simulation, people going down easy is bad enough but is there the need for the rolling and screaming?

The load of bull that is FFP.

The media.

The god awful standard of referees in the game today. Can't think of any refs in the world I would be confident in to give a fair game to both sides on the pitch.

 

[royalblue66]

Liverpool FC
Aldridge
F K W
Sky
And Aldridge again.

draft Chang

 

[ste d' indica]

The so-called Champions league being the be all and end all of football.

The money (wages/FFP/leveraged takeovers/agents/TV rights etc.) - its just obscene.

Endless over-analysis that means nothing when playing/watching/reffing the game in real time.

"Injured" players staying on the pitch. Either walk off, or get stretchered off. Either way, get off. Arsenal were bad for this yesterday.


*Note - haven't counted Liverpool or anyone anything connected with them, as that's just a given.

 

[ElGato]

Corruption in the upper echelons of the games' governing bodies.
Racism
Awful punditry (AKA the Liverpool/Manu complex)
Yellow boots

 

[tsubaki]

The criticism of referees with the simultaneous tolerance of bad behaviour from players, especially cheats
FIFA generally
the FA
the whole system of punditry, which assumes that just because they have played the game somene will make coherent points about it
