[The Troll Toll]

People who hate armchair fans.

Football is boring, but exciting if you can get emotional about it, that's why being a fan is a thing. This is easier when England are playing in a game that actually matters.

[Sir Fox]

Players being only slightly tackled or even diving, falling, wallowing in exceptional agony, holding their hands on a part of the body (quite often the head) which had no contact at all, then getting up a minute later dashing off as if nothing happened

Balotelli pretending to have a muscle cramp (something some players get in the extra time shortly before penalty shoot-outs, yet I didn't see a single one at this Euro) in the 69th minute

One may be under the illusion that professional football players are grown up men, but apparently they're not ...

Dumbass commentators talking about "minimal contact." Watch a rugby game, or if you want to get really crazy, actually play a sport. If you're running at full speed and you get ankle tapped you will go down and it won't be a dive. The worst is when people who were former pro footballers talk about this, wtf is their excuse.

People who support the scum (man u) i.e glory hunters who do not support their local team - absolutely despise that.
Also the amount of money in the game and all of the cheating and corruption. And i hate Sepp Blatter.

The haters and gloryhunters


y'know the United fans from India etc

Is that Peterborough or Colchester united?

Players leaning forward instead of challenging for a header and then being given a free kick for getting fouled.

The first thing I mentioned applies to most teams, not only the Italians

But Balotelli, yes: Come on, people get muscle cramps in the 114th minute (if at all) and he (as a rather lazy player who doesn't run that much) lies down in the 69th minute, even waiting for the stretcher to buy several minutes of time

And in all honesty: there is a reason why Italy's national team has a reputation of featuring players who trip over blades of grass and demand free kicks after being blown down by blast of wind. A pity Gattuso is not playing any more

The Italian win was justified though, Germany played badly and at times our defense was non-existent

English fans who chip in about the current situation in Scottish football who know nothing of it.

For some reason this guy annoys the hell out of me.






And these

That all talented players move to Western Europe

[ChocoholicPolyglot]

Fouls. There's just no need to play dirty. If only every team could play a clean game of football without pushing, shoving, diving and headbutting.

Edit: Why neg rep for saying that I don't like it when people foul others?!

- the use of cliches ("nobody is bigger than the club" or "there are no easy games") lol..

- the fact sheffield wednesday is considered a big club

- the fact that spurs got rid of harry (too big for their boots, for a club with only 3 top four finishes in about 25 or more years)

How are Sheffield Wednesday not a big club?

Long ball football, the type which Stoke play.

[xDave-]

Just the way players overreact at every challenge. I understand that they do it to make sure the referee sees it, but the game might as well become non-contact with the way its going, as they roll around on the floor at the slightest tap.

Yeah but come on the SPL is just abysmal. Scottish league football is dead.

So I'll add "Scottish fans acting like their league and minnow club's achievements mean anything" to the list.

[myuranking]

Too many foreign players in Premier league

Edit: I got negged for that? There is not enough english players coming through. I'm not some racist kid, it is how it is.
