Annoying things in football

by Robb Raygun (U22716)

There are many annoying things in football - mainly VAR based. But here are some other things that grind my gears.

1) when a player lies down behind the wall during a free kick and the commentator says ‘here comes the draught excluder’. It was funny the first time but years later they say it every time. Please stop.

2) When the keeper and defenders do that thing from a kick off for like 30 seconds where it looks like they’re gonna do a short goal kick and play out from the back then eventually the keeper decides to do a long goal kick. Why?

3) When players time waste. Especially when they do that thing where they have ‘cramp’. 🙄

4) The length of time it takes to make multiple substitutions - made worse with the 5 sub rule.



Any others?

Nah, you got me beaten Barry.

I just typed something like "Comment on the following:" and pasted in your comment.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
So you basically expanded on my comments rather than summarising them in a shorter paragraph...which people might normally do...
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I just asked for a comment on your comment, without specifying what type of comment I expected back.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
It probably modelled its answer on what it would've expected me to do in the same situation.

Ok so when I say hello Mr Thompson and press down on your foot, you smile and nod.

..so you made my comments LONGER. What might TSDR stand for?

Your assumption is he was familiar with the opposing acronym

My biggest issue is grown men believing in some massive refereeing conspiracy - almost always against them. Shouldn’t have the right to vote.

ex-managers like Thierry Henry and Gary Neville on their punditry programmes telling us how such and such a team shoulda done this, or such and such a team coulda done that; when they were fired from their management positions for being utter garbage.

‘here comes the draught excluder’

I've never ever heard this?

Me neither

Refs running over to book somebody for time- wasting then not adding on any extra time so proving time-wasting works.

Keepers waiting and waiting till ref turns around then waits a few more seconds to take goal kick.

Also time-wasting if I hadn't mentioned it earlier 😡

His assumption was correct. I've got it now, but the penny just wasn't dropping earlier.

It was about testing AI. Not IOAG. Whatever the hell IOAG might mean
