I do loath time wasting.

Liverpool do it the least fwiw so not sure on your Trent appraisal.

I also don’t like surrounding the ref.

Probably my biggest gripe is VAR spending 5 mins reviewing a clear and obvious error

They checked an Endo tackle, which the ref was five yards away from, 13 times apparently. Well it can’t be that clear and obvious then can it.

Player of the match instead of man of the match.

Everyone covering their mouths to talk.

Players putting the ball a micro millimeter beyond the quadrant for corner kicks.

Idiot fans keeping the ball then throwing it back into play after a new one is in play.

The absurd offside situation where lino’s aren’t allowed to give it until the ball has been touched.

The handball rule.

Defenders celebrating the ball hitting them when a cross or shot is coming in. Huge celebration like a goal was scored and then 5 mins of high fives before having to defend a corner.

refs booking players for dissent after inciting it through extremely poor officiating. The fact that they think they deserve to be allowed to make shocking decisions without players being able to question them on it i guess.

Getting the ball doesn't mean it can't be a foul or reckless challenge.

Last man is not a rule

Automatic goals (penalties) for very minor infringements in the box, no where near stopping a goal

"there is contact" A lot of times the attacking player initiates the contact to make it look like a foul. Kane backing into defenders who are jumping for a header (life threatening) and gets a foul for it etc.


"first contact was outside the box so shouldn't be a penalty" Yeah but the attacker managed to get into the box before fully being dragged down so the defender stopped him when he was able to get into the box.

People getting irrationally annoyed at someone waving an imaginary card but don't get annoyed at players screaming for cards, fouls, throw ins etc. It's the exact same thing.

Not understanding the curve of the ball hanging over a line.

Not understanding perspective when it comes to VAR offside lines

Who do you think should win Man of the Month for January and Man of the Season?

Wow, the corner taking, yes I forgot, I always wonder what advantage they could get by claiming a few more millimeters.

Players claiming for throw ins when it obviously came off them last. 50,000 people saw you kick it out numb-nuts, put your fecking hand down.

Acting injured is just pathetic. Wish it would disappear from the game. That said, the Martinez & Maupay incident was pretty funny.

Women commentators and pundits

Ally McCoist failing to back down on his initial opinion when seeing a replay that clearly renders his initial opinion incorrect.

Well seeing as Spurs take 1.2 seconds longer per throwin than Liverpool and Liverpool are the quickest at restarting play overall i dont think it will no.

However maybe you will find spurs taking the piiss at throwins more annoying now the lights been shone on it for you.

at least you now have the chants sorted for the next time you play spurs

Commentators calling it a cool penalty when it is put low and not in the corner cos the keeper went the other way. But calling it an awful penalty just cos the keeper went the right way. It's literally the same penalty.

Officials not sorting their comms out before kick off so match gets interrupted for 5-10 mins

Diving when there’s minimal or no contact

The way Sean Dyche claps his hands

Antony smiling and nodding every time he puts a cross or shot out of play

Cameras in the goal ruining worldies. There have been a few but Kompany's title winning goal vs Leicester, where it went in the top corner but hit the camera that was sticking through the net. Just put the camera further behind the goal and stop ruining my autistic life by ruining the satisfying expected net movement.

Timewasting in general is so frustrating, and the time added on seems to be just pulled from the air half the time.

More and more I think football should just go down to 40 minute halves and stop the clock when the ball goes out. Eliminates pretty much all timewasting immediatly.

Hypocritical pundits that can't make their mind up on whether VAR should take as long as they want as long as they make the right decision, or whether it should make the decision really quickly otherwise it ruins the game.

Commentators going on about 'the turnover'.

I swear nobody said this until a couple of years ago, and now on talksport especially it's like they get paid for how many times they can say it.

"He's a really good player in the turnover"

"They need to do better in the turnover"

"And Chelsea have turned it over again" (bizarrely, this means that Chelsea have won the ball back, not that they've given it away, which is what any normal person would think these words meant)

Most people turn it over when Chelsea are playing to be fair. Oh no that means they turn the Chelsea game on doesn't it? FFS I was wondering why I ended up watching the Chelsea game last night against my wishes.

Everyone, who should know better, calling it ‘St James’s Park’ (Newcastle) and not St James’ Park.
