What's Grinding Your Gears - Football Edition

[dbspurs]

Melissa Reddy official title Sky senior reporter. Now I don’t wanna go down the road of she only got the gig cause she’s a pretty face ( although I’m sure it did her no harm). Just watching her in Bangkok waffling on about United. Genuinely never heard someone talk so much and literally say nothing. It’s really a remarkable skill that she’s perfected. She kind of tries the Gary Neville if I sound authoritative then people might actually believe what I’m saying. Where as Neville is a master of this she fails miserably.

I watched her interview with Ten Haag yesterday for about 30 seconds. It was painful to listen to her and i mean nails down a blackboard painful.

Not as painful as it must have been for Ten Haag doing a full interview.

There's also a female BBC commentator who drives me nuts whenever she covers a game on MOTD but i can't remember her name.

Just her whole commentary style and delivery. Awful!

Jacaui Oakley. Issue is there is no nuance in her voice she just high pitched shouts at all the action.

Bayern complaining about Barca taking Lewandowski and in the next breath their manager talking about signing Kane.

Topping it off is Sky comparing the two players goal totals and how Lewandowski had scored so many more. Jeez if I played in an under 10 league I'd beat both their totals. Distinct lack of intelligence on that channel.

Not grinding my gears but no idea where else to share.

Grinding my gears - the number of people on my Facebook who don’t like football but share this post

I’ve ignored them all but my god it’s such a reductive attitude to take a positive moment like the women reaching the final and twist it as a negative on the mens game.

Can’t we all just enjoy success at every level without trying to put others down.

Yep. It’s my reason for hating rugby. No English rugby fan, player or commentator seems capable or talking about their sport without taking a shot at football.

It’s a shame for the women’s game. Should just be concentrating on positives. No need for the cheap shots and point scoring.

The continuous stream of memes comparing rugby players to football players for toughness showing some hulking fatty steaming through a scrum and a footballer rolling around after a foul are what does it for me. That same hulking fatty would likely have a fucking stroke if he tried to keep pace with a professional footballer.

Yep. Rugby players and fans often talk about how hard they are. Wouldn’t last a round in any combat sport. Wannabe hard men.

As I don’t care about womens football (don’t begrudge it or cheer for it either way) I can assure you that victory today will absolutely not ‘end 56 years of hurt’.

It's sort of anti-thread, as it's actually a solution to gear grinder! (didn't know where to post)

Newly relaid pitch ‘ITK’.

Good on them!

The broadcast showing a replay of the latest action in the box when the ball is still in play, being more specific when the ball has been caught by the GK after a free kick/corner and he's about to start an attack. Not sure if it's been happening more frequently but now I get irritated everytime I see it.

Stupid music after a goal is scored. Why FFS.
No doubt been mentioned before.

It’s an effort to control the crowd.

It’s one thing trying to stop offensive chants but the atmosphere is so important and they’re trying to control it.

10p when I started going and they were pretty good - I stopped buying programmes other than for ‘special’ games about 10/15 years ago

Jorginho's ballet-jump penalties.... ? ... can't stand them.

I stopped buying programmes when I realised I’d flicked through 10 pages of adverts with nothing interesting in there.
