Things that are, frankly, a load of old sh*t

[slartibartfast]

Goal Music,
Players having to put the ball out because a member of the oppo has just fallen down for a bit,
footballers not being allowed to tackle without the opposing players and fans bleating for a red card,
"He was touched so he had a right to go down" ... no he feckin doesnt!,
"Shielding the ball out" for yrds on end by leaping around in front of a forward - anywhere else on the pitch its obstruction.
Global Branding of Clubs
The amount of players in the lower leagues that are actually "loaned" from the same few big teams (I know Brighton have these too, but its still not like having your own player)

Overweight young women, over-ambitiously squeezing into inappropriate clothing. Everything wobbling and overhanging bellies....yuk.....heaven help young men who aren't into big women in the years to come. Slim well-defined young women are going to be as rare as rocking-horse shit.

The word "BANTER".


I imagine I've raised this on this thread before but it seems a lot of effort to go back through.

Good one. It's a RIDICULOUS unwritten rule of football that you're allowed to do that. Crazy.

Same applies to fat blokes, with their guts hanging out, wearing tracksuit bottoms and t shirts that are too small

The BBC's new attempt at being equal to both genders by not specifying whether the footballing headline is related to the male of female sport.

Headline "Rooney signs for Doncaster"

Open the article "Chelsea womens left back Karen Rooney has joined WSL rival Doncaster Belles" or whatever.

Astrology, how can the position of the stars have any effect on what's going to happen to you ?

Feng Shui, arranging furniture for goodness sake.

Any others ?

I like to change the position of my bed, then when I wake up it feels like I'm away on holiday.

Has anyone else noticed this being used more and more? It's like a more annoying 2014 version of "(insert implausible sentence)...NOT"

****S me right orf.
