Small things that footballers do that you dislike

[gonzalo]

Just watched the Chelsea highlights, all the goal highlights are pretty tame, except for Garnacho who delivers the 7th goal, a penalty, against bottom of L1 opposition, proceeds to jump into the air, then does some strange celebration with his hand over his face. Two celebrations for that? Love a celebration; theyre part of the game, but that seems to show Garnacho lacks self awareness.

Any other minor things that footballers do that bother you?

The obvious. Diving. And especially - Pretending you’ve been smacked in the face when You haven’t at all. I don’t know why VAR or post match this can’t be dealt with. 1 game ban for being a cheating little scrote and it soon stops.

Covering their faces whilst talking to each other.

Nobody cares what you’re on about, lads.

Holes in the back of socks and wearing tiny shinpads

Grabbing the ball when being “fouled” to guarantee they get the free kick. I’d love to see refs punish it for handball more often.

Clarke was bad for it when he was here

when a player scores a screamer and his team mates do that *hands on head in utter amazement* act .

Looked an utter tit in his celebration versus us.

Didnt end well for the lad

 

[humbug]

putting either one or both arms up before taking a corner as though it's a secret sign.

 

[girojim]

The easy foul the defender wins when he has the attacker at his back he goes down and the ref always gives it

 

[South Banker Wolf]

Defenders hi 5in each other when they do their job or even feck it up.

 

[Struts]

Stuttering run ups

is that the lad who sat on the advertising hoarding pointing at his name on the back of his shirt? oddly enough we were just talking about that last night.

[Sunderland06]

Positioning the ball 0.0001mm outside the corner quadrant, only to then underhit the corner anyway

1. Matty Cash ️ celebration.

No, the stupid foul a striker commits in that position rather than making him play the ball. Hate that!

I had a chuckle to myself when I saw 10 old school kids doing this when they were about to take a free kick.

infuriates me when our players fall for this.

opposition full back has the ball facing his own corner flag, nowhere to go, under pressure.... just stand a yard off him and let him deal with the problem. but no, our winger has to go and touch him on the back, resulting in an easy get-out. aye, its not a foul technically, but the refs always give them. don't be so f***ing thick

Pep constantly spitting is gross
