What Makes You Cringe?

I've come to find lately that a lot of people that drink water are *****. I drink San Pelligrino, because it's the best around. I have no reason to drink my local tap water because it is ****, the piping facilities are ****. These attitude of these **** water drinkers actually make me not want to drink water.

I've read it all now.

You should go and support your local water treatment plant. Because that's what the argument is right? Sure god love ya.

I never said that. Just that I wouldn't drink tap water because of the attitudes of some tap water drinkers.

That's up there with one of most retarded comparisons I have seen in a while.

This is not a LOI vs not LOI thread. It's also not a grammar/spelling nazi thread.

The idea that a minority of fans could put someone off going to any game, LoI or otherwise, makes me cringe. And cringe hard.

Are you that weak a character? If so then the problem isn't those few other people in the grand scheme of things, it's you.

Reminds me of something I heard (in a TV show) recently:

If you meet an a$$hole in the morning, you have met an a$$hole.
If you meet A$$holes all day, you're the a$$hole.

Anyway, back on topic one of the most cringe worthy things in football is how some supporters (of every team) will defend one of their players or a decision for their team to the hilt when it is clear, especially when video replays show how wrong it was.

An example would be Eduardo's dive a few years ago. It was a dive, simple as, and there is no real defending it. It wasn't "going down easy" it was just a plain dive, and yet I heard some other Arsenal supporters trying to defend it. The sooner these things are called for what they are, the sooner the chance the game could be improved. Some people just can't seem to admit their team/player was clearly in the wrong and that is one of the most cringe inducing things I see among fans at the very least.

Real Salt Lake is pretty bad, but I don't see the problem with Sporting KC....are they not a sports club?

What about Internazionale Kenmare?

The 3 stars above the Man City badge being there for decorative purposes

New badge was done up in 97 before the stars on a crest symbolised successes such as league or european titles. They are decorative but thay have never claimed to be anything other than a detail on a crest. The club had looked to revert to the original badge but the image rights held are just ridiculously priced.

I'd find it less cringy than Utd trying to get any number to fit the letters 'io' in champions after one very clever marketing campaign.

a couple of things.


People who have never been next nor near the ground of the team they ' support ' saying we this , or we that like they were part of the club

People in English PL shirts giving out about England..... Ill explain myself

I ( I am English ) was watching England V France in a pub, the one where England were two 2 nil up , then managed to scrape a 2-2 draw . Anyway this gob**** started screaming racist abuse at me , I laughed in his face because he was wearing a ManU shirt !!

From that day to this I have not watched an England game in an Irish pub , too many idiots TBH ( although watching England is never really a pleasure ).

This old chestnut.

The club never said they symbolised anything. If they had come out with "Yeah we won a few trophies back in 19xx and it's a nod to our history" then you would have justification for your cheap shot.

They didn't so you're just looking to manipulate something decorative to suit your 'argument', which is actually the cringeworthy part of it all

how is it a cheap shot?
Just because you support them, straight on the defensive, untwist your knickers there precious.

everyone knows stars above crests are known to symbolise titles - any clown knows this

it looks ridiculous when they're there for decorative purposes - that's what i'm saying

if they symbolised titles i wouldn't think it looked ridiculous & wouldn't have mentioned it
