Football Cringe

[twoblue]

Footballers crying when they have to leave. Jan Vertonghen for instance when he 'had' to leave Benfica. If you love your club so much, stay and work for them for a measly 40k a week instead of 75.
Or Messi, also crying, when he had to leave Barca.

It's a disgusting place the footballing world. Maybe the most cringe to me is Lineker taking tax payer money to read football scores off a teleprompter. I don't think the BBC will lose one viewer if they swap him with an intern.

I’m a fan of lineker.
His self depreciating style makes a change to all the up themselves former players

Reading most of the posts on here I have to admit it sounds like most of you just hate football and anyone having a good time at a match.
I'm surprised nobody has said they find people playing football cringe.

We are Everton fans, of course we hate football but we are far too deep to find a way out.....Please help us!!!!!!!

People referring to a position by a number as if we are still playing the same formations and roles we had in the 70s

That is something fairly new , don't know who started it , a no. 6 and a no.8 seem to be the positions .
6 was left half and 8 inside right in those good ol' days .

Try hards with a bucket hat, a scarf over their face and a man bag. You're not an ultra. You live with your ma. Just enjoy the match like a normal human.

Referring to any footballer as a genius. You are a bit better at kicking a ball into an outdoor cupboard mate, your not about to split the atom!

 

[jerseytoffee]

Fans that do the 'you sh*t ahhh' on the goal kicks is up the top for me

And the fan live follow along... has anyone actually watched one of those and if so why??

Sorry lads, but 'Come on come on, get down to Goodison Park - WOOOO!!'

Just no...

Naaaaaa get lost

People who predict results down to goalscorers and exact minutes they'll score.

Vault me and you'll probably find I've done it, but I don't care, it's still cringe.

Everton 3-1 Man Utd

Gray 4 minutes
Tarkowski 37 minutes


Antony 56 minutes


Maupay 59 minutes

Awkward

He won't be cringing when I win him 50k on his Pools coupon the big scruff @Brett Angell Delight


Only joking mate, I'm a massive tit and I only do it as if me typing it will actually make it happen....though I did predict Coady would score against Southampton in a 2-0 win so I got it part right lol

Not exclusive to football, but probably most prominent in football:

Pundits saying “Listen” at the start of a sentence. Rio Ferdinand and Alan Shearer are particularly bad offenders.

Don’t tell me to ‘listen’! I’m a grown man! Also, football pundits mostly talks nonsense, so prefixing their dirge with ‘listen’ just makes them sound so far up their own anus.

Jim Beglin starts every sentence with either ‘look’ or ‘listen’ and it drives me mad.

People who cringe at everything about football because they're so cool.
