most of the above CCFC

To those I would add the following:

Joe Kinnear

Players who wear hairbands

Clive Tyldesley

Commentators who scream in delight when a decent player takes a shot.

Foreign managers and players using the word 'important' in an interview.

British teams fielding 11 foreign players.

The fact that Sky decides when games will be played.

The fact that all games are no longer on a Saturday at 3pm.

The fact that people run down international football.

Rugby fans who criticise football, particularly for players' treatment of the officials, when in rugby you can stamp, gouge and punch as long as you don't backchat the ref...

The inane BS that papers/other media sources generate over the empty summer months just to fill a back page...

Obscure players who get plucked from nowhere, score a ton of goals and then demand a transfer the following season, only to sit on the bench somewhere else...

Billionaire owners who see a club purely as a business and nothing else.

The modern football philosophy of buying all the best players and letting them rot on the bench in the name of 'rotation'...

Ticket prices at certain grounds.

Banning orders
