Smiley Culture Posted August 12, 2017 Posted August 12, 2017 I'll start… Teams announcing signings with cringeworthy videos. See Gray to Watford, the Southampton one, Yeovil using Snapchat etc.

Subscriber RandoEFC+ Posted August 12, 2017 Subscriber Posted August 12, 2017 The money, agents, 90% of the media, 90% of the players and 90% of the fans spouting absolute bollocks on Twitter.
Toony Posted August 12, 2017 Posted August 12, 2017 Those shite Twitter accounts dedicated to footballers, bunch of kids arguing and trolling. We've got a couple.
Honey Honey Posted August 12, 2017 Posted August 12, 2017 Commentators who use the word "delicious" to describe a pass, first touch, goal etc.

Subscriber Dan+ Posted August 12, 2017 Subscriber Posted August 12, 2017 The fact it's becoming less about sport and more about being a soap opera. The fact local fans are seen as secondary to people in different continents who have zero affinity with the club they claim to support. Forced entertainment. See deliberately controversial referees. Can be tied in with the soap opera comment. People who can't tell the difference between quality and entertainment. Bandwagon hopping idiots who think they know everything about certain situations when they're largely clueless. The acceptance of cheating within the game. The fact it's so easy to clamp out yet we choose not to, why? See the soap opera comment. Excessive ticket prices charged by clubs who don't need it and the fans who astonishingly defend it. Lower league snobbery. "Look at me I'm a more passionate fan than you because I follow Doncaster Rovers" The monopoly of the Premier League and Champions League, to the point that the cups are seen as an inconvenience rather than potential silverware and the Europa League is seen as a passage into the Champions League rather than a valuable trophy. That DT Arsenal twat, absolutely ashamed to share his initials. Clappers. The England national team set up. A set up chosen on profile and reputation rather than quality or form. People who believe in this "you're in your natural position" bollocks. We've had plenty of that in the past year. Could you imagine if everyone took that mentality? Yet the same people probably moan about the same teams being at the top every year. The belief that only certain clubs are allowed to be ambitious.

Spike Posted August 12, 2017 Posted August 12, 2017 I dislike money transfers. Player trading would be more interesting but I don't think it could work in a league system.

This The fact that it's so much a business, the joke of a league MLS turned down 2 billion to build an actual infrastructure because they refuse to have a promotion relegation setup.... The fact that hypocritically the large clubs pander to foreign fans more than their own locals.

It's incredibly impressive how well controlled the NHL is. The only league that has terrible parity is the NBA.
Dave Posted August 13, 2017 Posted August 13, 2017 Shock this thread was started by Smiley. The one thing more pessimistic than the warning label on a fag packet. Im quite optimistic about how exciting this season will be, how the PSG money will influence football, how open the 'EFL' is, even how Brexit will pan out. The only thing I'm pessimistic about is Dutch Managers trying to play three at the back.
Asura Posted August 13, 2017 Posted August 13, 2017 Fanboys no way connected to the club and who talk about a particular club's success and use that in every argument about football.

That's because you give these players who are already the highest payed players in any sport around the world so much power which is a joke, but heaven forbid you tell them to just do their job WHICH IS FUCKING PLAYING A GOD DAMN SPORT FOR A LIVING MAKING MILLIONS they call it racist and against the hard working man. League is a joke as well.

Guest Posted August 13, 2017 Posted August 13, 2017 Playing ping pong with points on a league table. Takes the drama out of the race. For example, Peru and Chile being threatened to have their points taken away after being given them back because Bolivia played an ineligible player. Not only should you not take away the points after being given them back, but also not months after being returned. To put it in more simple terms, taken points away then going on a case for weeks or months about whether they should return them or not. Happens in the Peruvian league a lot. People who think qualifying for the World Cup makes those teams better than ones who didn't. People who use stats to judge players over judgement. People who get annoyed at the word "soccer". I don't use the word, but I live in Peru. I don't need to. Its just a case of people in England hating American words. VAR. I think you all know my opinion on the matter. The leniency in foreign rules. In some ways, I like them so I can sign foreigners in Football Manager, but in terms of entertainment I much prefer there to be a limit for foreigners. Due to money these days, not too strict. In Europe, there are players from other nations that are high profile and have no connection to the club. Its a reason I like players like Iniesta, Harry Kane, Xavi, Riquelme etc. I'm not talking about academy players mind, just domestic players who know the tradition of football in the country, the style, the rivalries of the country. A lot of European derbies have kept their soul in the stands but not on the pitch.
Azeem Posted August 13, 2017 Posted August 13, 2017 I know everybody is gonna hate me for saying this but here it goes. I (only a little) don't like the fact that club football is the pinnacle of the sport rather then international football in general(not talking about the World Cup). I would have loved to see a league of each continent and the top teams from each region making it to the world cup. This is because i don't and probabbly never will know what does it feel like to have your own hometown football team and watching them play week in week out, sense of belonging to the club,pride in your city and all that. But i do know what does it feels like seeing your national team play so this explains my views.
The Liquidator Posted August 13, 2017 Posted August 13, 2017 Inconsistent applying of the laws by Ref's ~ I accept they are human, but their standard does not seem to improve to me. The different standards of refereeing between CL and PL ~ I believe every other league benefits from the CL being played under their cotton wool rules.
Scousermum Posted August 13, 2017 Posted August 13, 2017 The fact that it's all about money. Where has all the passion gone?
