I've got absolutely no ill feeling on this particular website and have no opinion as such as I'm new to this, but the purpose of this thread is to find out what other users on here think:

My dislikes:

1) Articles that are written by journalists that haven't been thought out properly and are too lengthy.

2) Forums only made of mainly supporters of the top 6/7 clubs

3) Subject threads that revolve around finances and 'bought the title', 'the Champions League, and La Liga

4) Pointless posts on transfer speculation.


Maybe, because it's the time of the year when of course there's no football, so there really isn't a great deal to focus on...

[TheMask]

One thing I dislike on forums is the need for supporters to go on to other teams threads just to cause trouble

Cant get my head around those idots

[Lemon Haze]

Glory hunting idiots who support teams just because they're fashionable and successful. There's quite a few of them on here, especially the British Barcelona supporters. It's laughable and embarrassing.

I hate 'Man U'

well this will degenerate fairly quickly

I know exactly what you mean.

It's just the media perception of the concept of the sport that bothers me, or maybe it's because it's just not the way it used to be when I was growing up in the 80s and 90s.

It's basically a business fueled with money, hype, hysteria and glamour that it's seems worlds apart from the grass roots side of it.

I've genuinely considered going to watch my local team, but with the ticket prices they charge, maybe it's something I'll have to do occasionally.

I'm not at the moment at all looking forward to the new season - it's just same old same old for me - apologies for the doom n gloom btw.

This'll be a nice pleasant and jovial thread. Pulls up chair waits for padlock.

[BomoLad]

Oh...

I'll also add people who moan about the modern day football fan and use expressions like 'Some think football was invented by Sky '

...who themselves, ironically, have next to zero interest in or knowledge of the game pre-dating either their birth or the advent of television to the masses in the 60s/70s.

I hate fans who get on their high horse and complain people have the nerve to have fallen from the vagina sometime after 1988 but without a hint of irony, seem to think football was invented the year their team last (or first) secured a major honour. And not be aware that the generation before them felt exactly the same about them as they claim to about the younger generation.

The 'we invented the wheel so woe is us' mob you see a lot of on forums.

[Sprite123]

I've added to the thread the option of airing your thoughts on the current game, what you don't like about it and what could be improved. Good array of replies so far, nice one.

If we are going on the subject of same old same old, I've definitely beginning to tire of Sky Sports and the BBC - especially MOTD and Gary Lineker!

p.s. get rid of Lawro!!

Bit like Marmite.

[Jamesp84]

Serial WUMs. There are a handful of posters on here who make me think that DS should seriously consider charging people to start topics.

For you maybe, I'm indifferent about them , I don't like or dislike them, same with Liverpool etc, I find it much easier to be objective and enjoy football.

[Tal'shiar]

People who call others glory hunters, as though staying with one team is more Noble. Maybe they just like watching good football. You wouldnt go and see a rubbish film just because you support the director. But either way, it doesnt matter.

Anything to do with footballers that isnt to do with football (like cheating and off the pitch antics). But thats a wider social issue that isnt unique to football.

People correcting me by saying "soccer"

[BomoLad]

I hate Manchester United fans who feel compelled to give you their life story if they want to just give an opinion on a player.

'I've been a fan since 1962 mate, I remember watching Bobby Charlton and the like, got a season ticket in 1983 and have been every game since......'

...ffs mate, get to the point. I don't want an autobiography.

[Mancini]

I get annoyed by internet warriors who call themselves a 'Man United fan' when they've never been to Old Trafford and live in somewhere totally unrelated like Wales or Scotland. They talk about ManU as "us" and "we", as if they are somehow officially associated with the club, when in actual fact they're just hanging on to the coat tails of success. I can't stand these kind of glory hunters and these folk are what is wrong with football these days.

....I want to have this as my entry too. Not the content but 'what annoys me about internet forums'

And let me guess, you helped your team to win did you? Were you down on the training ground every day doing the workouts? was it you who scored the goals? did you do some great saves? did you invest all those millions into the clubs? did you talk tactics with those in charge?

No you perhaps went to some or all the games, shouted at the pitch, and complained about the game not being what it used to be. I think you did nothing, just like the Man U fan from Mars.

What on earth are you going on about? I was a season ticket holder at the club I support for many years before I moved away from the area due to work and family. So yes I did invest in the club and yes I did cheer them from the terraces. That's called proper support as opposed to some guy in Scotland deciding that 'this ManU lot are pretty damn good', buying a replica shirt and having the club badge tattooed on their arm and declaring themselves as a through-and-through fan for life!

That's a shame. Have you reconciled yet?

[whedon247]

i dislike casual fans who refer to bigger fans as "needing to get a life" if they know about the best new young players or watch obscure leagues etc

that doesnt apply to DS though as this is a casual footy forum so its to be expected.

also people who dont support their local teams,but that topics already been done

[Kierenj]

People who believe you have to support your local team... it's the modern day... people move around... unless you want to be that person who dies 3 miles from where they were born? Get out and see the world, it isn't that scary.
