What Makes You Cringe?

Omackeral

I've been to a good few games this season following my team and while I enjoy it for the most part, there's one chap who really irks me! Anytime the ref blows for a decision he doesn't like, this chap loses it. He effs and blinds out of him non stop, which we all do in fairness, but he does it for every minor little thing like a throw in. He will scale 3 rows and have to be told by stewards to return to his spot. On occasion, he's run as far as the barrier and motions that he'll get the ref. I'd love to see what he'd do if not stopped :rolleyes: Now I'm aware that its an emotional and passion fueled game, but this guy is in his 50's at least and goes bonkers.

Then the last time I was at the pub for a game, was a United vs City game, there was the bar version of this chap. He would go mad 'at the ref' from his table. At one point he left is seat and squared up to the television!! Even more cring-worthy was the fact that his freinds were holding him back saying ''Just leave it Kev'', as if he was gonna do something! Mind boggling.

So what's the thing(s) that make you cringe on the football front. You can explain it with a story or with a video or pics if you have them off hand.

That happens at League of Ireland games too. Absolutely bizzare. 'Easy, easy, easy' and 'Who are ya?' being top offenders.

Maybe you should change your name to Barstool instead of Pedalstool?

I think he's brilliant. Really knowledgeable pundit.

So, to the final matter at hand: Is Garth Crooks a penis in disguise? Well, the investigation is ongoing. I think the best thing I can liken him to is the feeling you get when you have a horrendous hangover and go for a whizz. It burns your penis ever so slightly (or maybe that's just me). He is similar to that feeling. He manages to make me pull the same face as I do when I get the burning sensation: teeth clenched, eyes closed ever so slightly. Anger.

Conclusion: Garth Crooks is a 'Burn as you piss penis'. Is there anything worse than that? I doubt it.

Particularly in the last season the infiltration of full songs like 'Hold Me Now' at Bohs and 'I Follow Rivers' at Rovers have had me cringing.

People using the term 'We' or 'Us' in reference to a team that they have no involvement with bar watching them on the television.

Richard Hillman

"No to modern football"

"We outnumbered/outsang the other supporters." What age are you????

"We took <insert number> to <insert place> and nobody got arrested". Well done for not getting arrested, it must have been really hard

muletide

Supporters saying "We"

"We should have at least gotten a draw away to Spurs"

"We bought well over the summer"

"We were robbed"

GTR63

George Hamiltons pronunciation of certain names and words. Mesut Ouwzeel, Edgar Davidge and so on.

"Supporters" who constantly abuse players from their own team

Grown men wearing replica jersies (a t-shirt, polo is acceptable)

I am not a fan of Hamilton but he pronounces the names the way they are pronounced locally. He makes a concerted effort to do this.

That actually makes you cringe?

Attending a match must be a painful experience with all the face contortions from cringing at all the unacceptable grown men.

I know but it sounds perfect when a German says it but when he does it in their accent it doesn't.
Ger Canning and Peter Collins doing commentary is a bit cringey too.

Moneymaker

Joe ****ing Kinnear being in any way associated with my club.

This is one of the saddest threads ever.

George Hamilton speaks fluent German

LOI Football makes one poster cringe - daft. For instance if you have ever been to a european club game rival fans regard us as just the same as any other league. No difference.

Of course fans are going to refer to their team as "we" - it would be daft not to.

What makes me cringe are people who pontificate about this and that but have been to maybe one or two games and regard themselves as experts.

Seems like you're pontificating that people shouldn't pontificate.

This is like the Inception of cringe.

That annoying tune
Dododododo dodododo dooooooo doo doo dodo dododododo.

It is sung at most clubs in the epl and normally something inflammatory towards another club. For example manu fans sing "its never your fault" about liverpool at a bloody west brom game.

Carcharodon

Supporters that say "we have the best fans" I am a Leeds fan and I hear it all the time, makes me cringe.

I've never seen any LOI adult fan wearing a jersey nor in my trips to Germany, holland etc.

It's only in this country and England where I've witnessed it

Normal people use ''we'', ''they'', ''them'', ''us'', ''the club'', ''the squad'' or ''the team'' as it feels appropriate. Many times when you are discussing an event, which involves two clubs or teams or squads or whatever, you need to differentiate between the two and referring to everybody as ''they/them'' will obviously be confusing. Going out of your way to ensure you use the proper names instead of pronouns (we, us / they, them) every single time is a clunky and unnecessary affectation which speaks of your insecurities.

I, and every other sane person on this thread, am going to continue to use ''we/us'' when appropriate as it makes a quick and easy differentiation between the team we support and the other team we are talking about.

Hahaha what nonsense. You see it in every country.

The Irish people who support english clubs. But hate the English national team. And when Gerrard, Lampard, Walcott, Rooney wear the english jersey, utd liverpool, chelsea, arsenal fans call them "scum" and love when England lose.

Anyone one of us who support english clubs, could name the england squad.

Other than Ireland, I like to see England do well.

Calm down my friend. I never suggested it doesn't happen in other countries.

I'm saying it is more common place here. Even worse when they wear a jumper underneath the jersey!

This rarely happens with any decent football fans. I don't know any liverpool supporter who actually gives a **** about liverpool that would say a single bad word against any liverpool player when he plays for England.

The poznan. Its a stupid piece of crap, how does turning your back on the pitch support your team?

Eamon Dunphy recent hissy fit after the Champions League.

Bill O'Herlihy saying its a sad night or a bad night for football whenever Man United are knocked out of the CL.

Some of Dave Barry incoherent ramblings on MNS.

Peter Collins as host of MNS. Unlike many I dont mind him as a commentator but hes shocking on MNS. Its fairly obvious that he doesnt care apart from the National Team and possibly Shamrock Rovers.

The never beat the Irish chant. Its not funny and is extremely stupid to be singing that especially when we are losing.

The Poznan was cool till Ireland started doing it.

I have never heard you never beat the Irish chant at Football games in years.

The best ex LOI player by a country mile was John O' Flynn - pity he got injured as he was never the same since. A much better striker than Shane Long or Kevin Doyle until that injury. They weren't in the same class tbh.
