    Poor/biased refereeing because it's usually against Italy >:(

    Yeah. Soft refereeing, bad decisions, no video replays.

    over the top reactionary media analysis

    hereos one week, villians the next. If a team loses a match they are in crisis. If a top player has an off day he is accused of stealing a wage, wanting to leave, being a prima dona etc

    For me it is not taking a free-kick or throw-in from the correct place.

    Players having to go off the field after a knock or injury treatment and then waiting to be waved back on.

    Two on a similar strand:

    When a player goes down and is obviously not injured but stays down and then misses a passage of play. A player could have passed the ball to them or they could have tackled the opposition to get the ball.


    When a player goes down and is obviously not injured but stays down and then sees the chance of getting the ball and jumps straight up and starts running around - proving that they were faking injury or time wasting / trying to get the ref to stop the game.

    Players not being able to beat the first man from a corner kick.

    Players stepping up to take free kicks when you know they're bloody awful at them.

    Pundits acting like any manager who employs zonal marking has no idea what he's doing.

    Poor sportsmanship.

    Goal music.

    Fans who believe their club/manager/players should not receive criticism EVER.

    Season ticket holders thinking they're superior.

    Players surrounding the referee, waving imaginary cards or generally trying to influence him.

    Half and half scarves.

    The gradual eradication of the art of tackling.

    Illegal timewasting methods going unpunished.

    I'll second that one. The same when it's a free-kick in to the opponents penalty box. Drives me bloody crazy.

    Thirded.

    I also hate when a player commits the most obvious foul in the world and then argues against the decision. I understand an argument if it seems contentious, but I never understand why players talk back to the referee after they get pulled up for absolutely clattering someone.

    Ticket prices aren't trivial if they stop you being able to go to games, I would say that's a larger issue.

    Players crowding around the referee after a decision goes against them.

    I know sometimes you might me justifiably upset, but the ref isn't going to change his mind just because of that. Just get on with the game.

    As a female fan, I don't think players should be carded for taking their shirts off :p

    Pundits bashing one out over the "Anfield atmosphere" which is one of the most overrated things in football.

    Anti-Chelsea keyboard warriors.
