In the world of football, what makes you CRINGE?

the crazy mindset and loss of any and all perspective that some people have that a result is to them almost more important than actual life. Absolutely cringe worthy to see grown men crying at a loss, or worshiping players in terms that ought to be better said to their partners as at least partners (mainly) do care and might appreciate. End of the day it is just a game, to be enjoyed hugely when it takes place but how it can ever become the one and only enjoyment in life, as it appears to be on occasions, is frankly embarrassing.

Anyone, and I mean anyone, who claims England have an outside chance of winning a major tournament.

Football is NOT just a game.

606 on Radio 5. Who the monkey is bothered about what John from Manchester reckons? I want to hear from an ex pro/ref/journo with years of experience explain why this or that manager's tactics were no good in the first half and what he did that turned things around.

It's a sport.

That's just being facetious. You know exactly what he means and to deny it is just pedantic nonsense. It has huge cultural significance worldwide and we, the fans, invest huge amounts of time, money and emotion. Perhaps far more than we should but the consequence is that it is clearly far more than just a game.

Goal keepers taking stupid lengths of time to kick the ball out and the ref doing nothing about it!
this, this this...
FAT middle aged men who have NEVER run the length of a pitch!
It's for the kids!
He's alright! Obvious why he is doing this job and not something better though!


Do you have time for anything else apart from cringing ? :)

Oh, and Fighting Talk at the moment. What's going on? Appalling guest hosts, tedious panellists - no wonder Christian O'Connell doesn't seem to want any part of it
