Things that footballers do during matches that annoy you? 22:25 - Jan 18 with 1494 viewsBeachBlue

It really irritates me when two players go for the same ball or a corner is needlessly conceded or a player is tackled on the blindside because no-one shouted

"Mine!" or "Leave!" or "Keepers ball!" or "Man on!"

Why can't some players shout or talk to each other sometimes?!

Any other annoying habits anyone would like to share?

Everything when there's a corner.

I hate this thing now that defenders and midfielders have of pointing to space where the opposition player is to tell a team mate to cover them.

9/10 everyone from their team ignores them.

Defenders spend more time pointing than defending.

Holding their hair/head when they make an error/ or miss a easy chance. Looking into the sky when they make an error/ miss an easy chance. Pushing a player over with two hands in the attacking corner of the pitch and giving away an easy free kick to the defending team, rather than just standing there and make the defender do something.

There is one single most annoying thing footballers do that really annoys me

They occasionally score against Ipswich

The fact that every (Coventry for example) long throw has to be treated like a corner and takes over a minute to get set up and for the ball to enter play again.
Should be a time limit similar to the one thay have introduced for goalkeepers holding the ball.

When theres a freekick maybe 25 30 yards out and they try and boot it top bins into the far corner.

Just whip one round the corner of the wall where your team mate is. Hit it with dip bottom left. Keeper isn't getting it. Ive always wondered why so many takers struggle when I was a fat kid banging them in for fun when I was younger.

You haven't played 11-a-side football have you?

Calling 'mine' or 'leave it' while technically aren't against the law of the game are not considered sportsmanlike and coaches don't advocate it.

Refs can can all it as an offence as unsporstanlike behaviour if players is seming to gain advantage from it

Its ok to do it to your own team mates. But cant say it around an opponent.

Blowing snot onto the pitch

Spitting on the pitch

Putting a hand up after belting a simple pass into the stands or two the opposition

Kissing the badge

Bleating at the ref - they’ll never change their minds, ya dope!

When a corner taker positions the ball just outside of the ‘D’ to try & steal a few millimetres, only to then go through the process of having to reposition the ball right on the very edge of the line and get the linesman’s approval. Utterly pointless! Just put the f#@king ball on the f#@king line and take the f#@king corner!

When players put their arm(s) up when taking a corner. I’m adamant 99% of the time it means absolutely nothing.

As it's the only pre-corner signal we ever see, I think it means "the thing we've been practising in training, but I can't guarantee I'll be able to clear the first defender."

Im pretty certain 'mine' was seen as obstruction at some point in the past.
We were always coached not to use the it.

Stealing 10 yards with a throw. We all know where the ball went out of play and that is exactly from where it should return to play. Should be made to be retaken if done and throw given to the opposition for repeat offences

Ref or lino could easily mark the spot with their shaving foam especially when the ball goes out close to a corner flag just so theres no ambiguity

Being injured and rolling back onto the pitch, then arguing they can't roll back off the pitch.

Players trying to scuff up the penalty spot after a penalty awarded, and attacking players standing on the spot to prevent it.

Similarly players placing the ball well outside of the quadrant when taking corners, though I realise this is really just to wind up the crowd.

Players that roll their shorts up to show some form of tattoo on said thigh. What has football come too.

When keepers decide to take the ball one side and change to the other, just to waste time.

Screaming when getting fouled - see Bakayo Saka as an example.
