so distasteful?

Goal celebrations - sucking the thumb, wtf is that about?

Diving - Almost an art form now and pisses me off.

Stupid haircuts - Twats with too much money and time on their hands!

Feigning injury - Getting people sent off for challenges which wouldn`t hurt your 2 year old and the rolling around clutching your dismembered leg

Wages - nobody is worth 250,000 a week, dickheads like Mourinho create people like Pogba!

Managers - Going apeshit over above tackles when it was powder puff

I fucking hate top flight football, watched the fa cup game on monday and everything i dislike about football was there, wank shit and I hope it goes pop soon.

So glad we don`t have that level of rarf at our level.

Apart from the wages don't we????

Yeah I agree Mutley all of that applies to League Two apart from wages.

A bloke got Sent Off playing at Gigg Lane for Bristol Rovers last night for two dives, and he had a fooking man bun.

All of this cliched stuff about lower League players playing for the love of the game compared to better players is tired nonsense. Most players at most level will do anything to gain an advantage and win. No managers like decisions going against them. You have some far better people involved in top flight football with more grace and class (Conte, Koeman, Ranieri) then some involved at lower levels (Steve Evans, Lee Clark, Keith Curle) and vice versa. Everyone at the lower level also aspires to get as high as they possibly can and would kick grandmothers to do so.

Who in lower leagues has twat hair and celebrates by sucking their thumb?

There was one with twat hair a few weeks back at the vic a forward in a hair band and the minceist run ive ever seen

Think the rot really set in with the launch of the premier league and the rise of Manchester United. Anybody who supported them at the time should be deeply ashamed of themselves.

One thing that really pisses me off in the current game is referees and linemen (/assistant referees) that behave like footballers. Whats with all the half-handshake-half-high-five stuff with each other and the players? And when they laugh and joke with the players during the game. I'm not a fan of rugby, but we could learn a lot from them in this respect.

i agree,ive been sporting silly haircuts all my life.if i go bald i`m getting rabbits tattooed on my head,people might thing they`re hares

Monkeybutt?

The choreographed inane goal celebrations are getting a bit over the top. Watching it on the telly the commentators were panting with joy at the new one for Spurs. They must as much time pouncing snout with this crap as they. do with training. Does anyone cry for pure joy when you see it. Utter Bollox.

Funny thing is, a lot of the baldies, especially the fat ones now, used to sport skinheads as it made them look hard, when they actually had hair. A very weird thing to do, when you think about it, especially as hardly any of them were actually in the army.

There is stupid and there is premier stoopid, I am follically challenged and have no jealousy at all, when I see you pass me on route to your seat in the millhouse, I always say to zippy, "His hair is nice", he is bald also and said it looks like a badgers arse

His run was class

Haway man, I stopped going in 2002

Nothing wrong with a man bunn. Or whatever

Proper old man thread this

Please tell me you don't!!?

Yeah back in 2002 your average Manchester United multi millionaire was much closer to the working man. You'd often see David Beckham getting the bus with fans to the match and Jaap Stam having a pint of mild sporting a flat cap with his whippet teathered up outside afternoon. It was only when the Premier League was set up some full decade before things started to change.

Permed hair and Highlights were all the rage for blokes in the 70's.

Nowhere near the debacle that is currently experienced.

Funnily enough, in last Fridays Wales-Ireland game, Wayne Barnes was calling all the players by their first names instead of the usual "9 red", "2 green". He nonetheless had a blinder of a game. Sharp as a knife.

I didn,t have three stupid hair cuts in my teens, in fact I didn,t have any hair cuts!

Players who don't know how to take a proper legal throw in (many of them all divisions). This bloody awful time wasting corner flag nonsense at the end of a game to waste time. Linesmen who now call themselves assistant referees who never see what goes on in match when they should be the ref's eyes and ears behind him for what he can't see. In the old days they had the whole line to run and now only half the pitch. Most of all this bloody stupid offside rule. Every game I've ever played in, seen whatever, countless arguments over contentious decisions. Scrap the bloody thing and if people goal mooch like when I was a kid come up with a plan to counter it. Shirt pulling and holding at corners or free kicks on the edge of the box. Pull a shirt or push an opponent or wrap your arms around him or her and you impede and its called a foul. A penalty in the box. Give the bloody penalty and see how soon it stops. Its called football not handball. Coloured boots - get rid and Pools please bin those bloody awful pink away shirts. If I played for Pools I would refuse to play in that so called colour. Give the Rink End back to the fans and stick the away fans in a corner or segregated Millhouse. Go back to the old days when the away team came out first to get booed and then the atmosphere builds up at five to three when the home team comes out. Those stupid line ups and fake go through the motion handshakes. Have I said enough? Probably. Oh, sorry, forgot about the ball....

What pisses me off is footballers wearing GLOVES.....FFS man up, and they look an even bigger tit with short sleeves and gloves. Give me strength.

Even keepers?

All footballers are by nature massive twats. I was shite at football at school but, with massive amounts of effort and determination, dragged myself up to being merely below average in my twenties and thirties and, due to not doing the decent thing and giving up, almost average in my forties and fifties. During these years everyone I played with or against who had even a scrap of ability was a preening, sneering tosser. So imagine how far up their own arse anyone who makes it as a professional football, at any level, must be.

I'd be a smug twat if someone wanted to pay me mega bucks to kick a ball around. Instead I'm less paid and less smug, still put in the effort to remain a twat though.

Football and fashion has always went hand in hand.

Bobby Moore was a smart guy. George best. Keegan. Beckham etc etc

Young lads who look after themselves. Earn money. Look smart

What's the problem ?

Jealous bald 50 something men

I get annoyed by people getting annoyed not wanting to watch football being played the way it was, rather than the poncey shitegloop we get on the telly box

This jealous, bald fifty something can at least read and string a sentence together, oh how I wish I was a football player!

Did someone say Beckham is smart?
I almost went on a rant then but realised in this context it meant smartly dressed, but even then I doubt he can dress himself.

I see yer da's remembered his Bunker login.

I'm with Yubep on this one.
I, like many other lads in their twenties, like to look after myself and spend money on it. Footballers are no different apart from the fact they are in the public eye on a weekly basis for all to see. I must admit i'm not a fan of glove wearers or the dreaded snood.

The guy has over £500m in the bank. He's smart in every sense.

Advised by smart people more like.

Exactly. Since when was money the measure of intelligence?

I'm with you but you defended man buns earlier in the thread, I am sorry man buns are not 'smart'. God no.

I remember seeing Ryan Brobbel make his Pools debut and knew immediately he just wasn't going to make it at the Vic with such a ridiculous arrangement on top of his napper. It was very similar to to the time I saw Sidney Smeltz in Asda wearing skin tight leather trousers. Brobbel will always look back on this as a regretful old man as the decision that cost him his dream. When he said 'no leave that bit I'm going to bunch it up with a hair bobble that seems an ok thing for a grown man to do'

Brobbel still had that when he turned out for us last year. Still had ambitions of getting a league club and was last heard of at Whitby.

He only played a couple of times for us, disappeared for a trial in Scotland, came back for a week or so then disappeared again.
Didnt see enough of him to make a judgement on him but Gray does move players on quickly if they aren't committed or thinks they are no better than he already has.

I've seen him on the Asda self Serv. he had no problems. Didn't need assistance nor did he have any unknown items in the bagging area.

His Mrs looked decent too

Chip you were doing so well til that Beckhams lass looks better with age comment!!!! Really??? I mean really??? I look at her and think what stodge I would cook for her coz she looks like she needs it. FTR I was thinking Mince and Dumplings with creamy buttery mashed potato at first.

Each to their own and all that, but I would insist on cooking her a Full English the next morning, with proper fried bread (in dripping). Mrs Posh Spice reminds me of a lass I once went out with, she looked like Miss World, slim, beautiful face, dressed well etc; then one night she undressed to her sexy underwear, stockings and suspenders etc, where I only noticed her ribs and concave stomach, so went and made a Bacon Sandwich for her (and me). I do prefer a healthy looking woman!!!!!!

Lads in their twenties have been doing it since going clubbing involved a bearskin and club . Nowt new there.

Don't want to upset you but you're probably in the old man bracket and don't realise it. Youth will look at anyone in their territory as 'old'. Once your past 25 you're 'old'.

Corrected your grammar, no thank you required.

couldn,t care less about players haircuts but some of the stuff you do see now is kak. all seems to start in the gready league and comes down to our level eventually. odd coloured boot wearing is another gripe of mine. only people who had odd boots when i was a kid was the very poor ones. anyone who dives should also be sent off and given a six match ban, doubled up for repeat offenders.

Poncey 'lovely lovely person' boots, forgot that one

Requiring bananas during games cos' they are tired. We used to play from breakfast till it got dark on one ice pop every day in the holidays.

Do people really get that wound up about haircuts and what colour boots footballers wear? I honestly couldn't give a shit. I can't stand it when they roll about as if they have been shot or when they surround the referee demanding cards but what they are wearing or look like doesn't bother me one bit.

It doesn't really matter if it's the "gready" league as people who play on a Sunday morning have a variety of haircuts and boot colours.

Yes I do, combine the following, wank barnet, 'lovely lovely person' boots, gloves, pointing to heaven and sucking the thumb, rolling around clutching head when he got kicked in the elbow and drooling through the interview after match with speech imped, oh what a delightful watch that is

Do you think people put a "speech imped" on like?
