Why do footballers....

Chop off the bottom of their socks and start the top part over white sports socks?

Because the bottom ones are grip socks

Which are an absolute god send for stopping blisters

Do weird hop skip and jump bollocksey things when coming on as sub or something. Or go through some ritual where they kiss a ring or a tattoo or somesuch, cross themselves and hold both hands up pointing to the sky when coming on. It takes about half an hour to go through

And when you get really young players doing it after a handful of appearances it makes me wonder, is it genuine and sincere or is it a fashionable copycat epidemic. I guess some of each

You can actually buy the socks on Amazon without the bottom bit to go over normal sports socks. So a new pair of socks don’t have to be ruined every time you wear them.

And they only need grip socks because modern football boots have such slippy insoles. Its a racket.

Not say thank you to ball boys and girls when they give them the ball or a towel. No manners

 

[Nerine]

….sometimes phone it in when there is often millions of people watching what they’re doing at any one time?

You’d think the kit manufacturers would cotton on to it (pun intended) and make the official socks grip socks.

The thing they do at the moment that bugs me the most is putting the ball outside the D when taking a corner. Yes I know only part of the ball needs to be level with the line, but what benefit does that extra millimetre get them?

its more than a millimeter, its more like 1-2 centimeters or more. they can then put extra whip on the ball without it crossing the goal line (for outswingers) or not have to worry about kicking the corner flag (for inswingers).

I find it really hard to believe how many young players are so religious.

Better angle, and making sure you don't clip the corner flag.

Why? We seem pretty agnostic here in the UK, but there's a lot of Catholicism and Islam out in the world.

Mostly for show, in my opinion.

. . . spit so often? Other sports seem to manage without it.
