What's Grinding Your Gears - Football Edition

What's the point of painted technical areas if nobody sticks to them? I see managers outside of it every single game for the majority and nothing gets said or done?

The Marseille boss physically on the pitch for Hojbjerg's goal was quite funny to be fair.

There seems to be loads of black and white rules in football right now that are treated as optional or a matter for the refs opinions. It’s allowing certain teams and individuals to get away with all sorts. It’s leading to more abuse towards officials right down the pyramid imo.

There really needs to be a proper review and reassessment of how officials apply the laws of the game. The referees are generally poor quality, but when the game is happening their word should be law. There’s not enough respect and there’s too much room for them to be influenced by big personalities.

Policing things like the technical area etc would help crack down on this imo.

I laughed but as one of the comments underneath reads, this is a bit like a German rocking up to the Euros in Poland dressed in full SS gear.

I just cannot understand how people can be this ignorant.

It isn't. The SS are still within living memory while the Crusades are not.

Would you say the same about Scandinavian fans dressing as vikings?

He's not knowledgable, and he's not funny(not even in a cringe kind of way).

He's just a thick as shit, know nothing, annoying prick!

I don’t listen to any pundits. A few have started off well and were quite insightful but in time fell into line and said the same old stuff.

Mainstream punditry is either basic, low level ‘characters’ or people saying outrageous things to get a reaction.

They’re best left ignored.

Oh yeah and his laugh pisses me off as well. I'm not even convinced he knows what he's laughing at most of the time either.

TBH I'm deliberating spending the next few days trawling back through his social media from when he was a kid to see if I can get him cancelled.

I mean, dressing like a crusader is rather tasteless. It makes sense to get offended by this than someone wearing a rainbow hat.

Beat me to it, couldn’t work out where best to post!
Interesting twelve months ahead for the EPL as they’ve already let them buy Newcastle having passed the ‘fit & proper’ tests…..
Denmark making reference to breaking away from fifa today as well if enough other countries back them, be interesting to see if this ‘super league’ raises its head again but then you’ve got psg and Citeh who’d be in it anyway, probably find Newcastle being squeezed in as well.
Big question though, would you end up with a load of clubs that are then bought by Arab money who are in the super league and European football just becomes a complete armchair game of FIFA for their owners?

Fans coming to definitive decisions regarding players based on a couple of world cup games.

Oh, and Journalists playing(and when I say playing I mean making things up) to those fans who believe every word of a clubs supposed interest based on 100 odd minutes of football.

I would go further and say based on any game no matter how long they played in said match. I remember some writing players off after just minutes of watching them.
