Old trends in football you’d like to see making a comeback

[heatmeiser]

Getting pissed on in the terraces. Used to love trudging back home with my socks squelching.

I got to know the distinct aromas and flavours of all the people around me.

Great days

Teams taking cup ties seriously and not resting their starters for irrelevant mid table matches

 

[goldfinchmule]

Teams just running out the tunnel towards their own supporters behind the goal.no line ups or shakeing hands.

Best thread for a while,I assume most of us have had a few laps round the block?

Amber top and socks blue shorts...

 

[Rita_Poon]

Sheep skin coats.

No Sky and TNT
Players delighting in avoiding being fouled and making their opponent look stupid rather than 'earning' free kicks.
Players downplaying when they've been hurt rather than hamming it up when they haven't.

What would we keep from the game today

 

[Pilks]

Long sleeves or short sleeves, no base layers showing

I'd go further than that - long sleeves only. Short sleeves were a namby-pamby 80s thing...

If you wanted short sleeves under Harry Catterick or Matt Busby, you rolled them up. And even that would be viewed with suspicion.

Proper tackling, players acting like men and just getting on with the game.
Corner kicks, the ball goes in the quadrant not outside, that's why it's drawn on the pitch !
No live football on tv. All games kick off 3pm Saturday. If you can't get to a game wait for match of the day, where they show 1 game, like they used to, hence why it's called Match of the Day ! OK, maybe the goals from the other games at the end. It would rid us of pundits of whom the vast majority are stealing a living. In the words of Mr Robert Zimnerman, " You dont need a weatherman to know which way the wind blows"
Rant over

This annoys the hell out of me. What possible difference can a centimetre or 2 make to a corner. It's not snooker ffs!

 

[Jamo Martinez]

This annoys me far more than it should.
What great difference do they think it makes? Is it really so advantageous to be two inches nearer the goal area?

beat me to it.

It's ridiculous, isn't it?

It used to be 12.30 pm. I used to come home from school for lunch and listen to it.

Pro evolution soccer. I miss it.

beat me to it.

It's ridiculous, isn't it?

I'm waiting for the day when somebody scores from a corner and it gets disallowed because VAR have drawn their little lines to show that the whole of the ball was outside the quadrant.
Actually it'll probably be Everton won't it?
