Five things that Irritate me about modern day football....

1. Players feeling the need to taunt the other team's supporters after scoring.
2. VAR
3. Paying more than £30 for a seat for an away game and then not being able to sit on it because everyone else feels the need to stand.
4. Players not celebrating when scoring against former clubs. (It's patronising).
5. Boro still not having put the full 90 replay of the Stoke match up on the website after I spent all last week avoiding the score so I could watch it "as live" after being away last weekend. (Was it postponed?)
 
1. That's always happened.
2. Could be brilliant but used and implemented by idiots.
3. I feel your pain on this one.
4. I celebrate like crazy even if I had scored against the Boro.
5. I have a copy of the game, do you want me to send it to you?

Thanks for the offer, but I've just given up and watched the highlights! Weirdly, watching a defeat seems much less painful when you already know you won the next two matches.
 
VAR
Diving
Substitutions (except injuries) in added on time
Playing around in the corner to time waste near the end of a game
Woman commentators (I know controversial but they do my head in)
 
1. The entitlement of football fans.
2. The price of tickets.
3. The build up on TV games. We don’t need an hour - come on 10 mins before KO and just show the match.
4. Fans who can’t behave - you always see a minority coked up being idiots.
5. The over zealous policing of football matches.

Me too and I kind of hate myself for doing so! I have nothing against women commentating or providing analysis on the men’s games, I just don’t like the shriek of a woman’s voice when teams score. But my wife’s shrieks also irritate me.

Maybe we have been conditioned over the years to like the lower tones of a male voice on the comms. I don’t know. Maybe the answer is more women comms and then we’ll get used to it!

I am quite sensitive to noise sop maybe that is it.

Nobody has a player with a bit of a gut, blowing out of his backside before half time and yet you know that every now and then he's going to score a simply sublime goal.

Managers who have to remind us that they work for a football club, as though I'd confuse them with Tony who runs the bar at the local social club.

Lack of a latte option for coffee at the Riverside, even though we pay handsomely to watch a bloke with that very word in his name.
 
Feigning injury. See the thread about John McGinn's tackle.

Goalies catching the ball under no pressure and then collapsing on the floor to waste time.

Players who can't shoot and pass with their "weaker foot".
