    What about Internazionale Kenmare?

    Or Dynamo Rooskey.

    The play at the Stadium of No Light.

    Would you call any sport football? Surely by your logic, no other sport should describe call itself football for the same reasons? In such a case, no sport would be called football, at which point the most popular variety (soccer) can call itself football.

    I have no problem with it being called football, I do it myself. I do however have a problem being corrected if I happen to call it soccer.

    Seeing bunch of muppets at Turners Cross who just boo everything that goes against City.

    There about 10 of them in corner. I cringe hard when they start.

    Managers using the expression 'Barclays Premier League'. It used to be an Owen Coyle thing but it has spread.

    When people draw comparisons between football and rugby or American football. Not the mere notion of such a comparison, but I've never seen it done in a way that didn't make me want to vomit.

    People that whinge about that English football should return to all Saturday 3pm games.

    1. Why would you want all the games on at the same time? When you could watch 3 or 4 over the weekend. For instance this season, Liverpool v Man Utd is on the same gameweek as Spurs-Arsenal in week 3. Why would you only want to only watch one?

    2. Football fans more than any other sport would be traditionally closed minded to other sports, what would they these guys do on Sundays?

    3. If all games were moved to Saturday 3pm we would be stuck watching Man Utd and Liverpool every week, no matter who they were playing.

    Kick off times should suit fans that are going to games, not moved around at the whim of TV companies.

    The ridiculously overhyped coverage of the EPL on Sky Sports News... probably at its worst on transfer deadline day.

    When people use the term grammar nazi in relation to bad spelling errors.

    When people spell badly.

    When the news that Celtic drew Cliftonville broke earlier today I had a few chats with lads in the job cos I thought it may grab their attention/interest. Four of them informed me there was gonna be war and there'll be killings. I asked why is that?

    Eh duh, Catholics against the huns.

    Some people on this island haven't a notion.

    Probably more ignorance than anything seeing as they were probably mixing Linfield up with Cliftonville.

    Bringing religion into football is definately cringe though. It's actually ridiculous.

    This won't be a popular choice but it genuinely makes me cringe so I'm compelled to post:

    When players point to the sky after they have scored in dedication to their God or someone who has died. As an atheist I find it so simplistic and it almost sums up the dumb modern footballer. Add to that the fact that they all copy each other in doing it and then it becomes yet another generic celebration.

    I really don't want to bring religious beliefs into this thread but I immediately thought about this when I read the thread title. It's not so much the religious element that bothers me. It's the unoriginality of the players.

    Yes. And the obligatory back of the wrist kiss. Jesus.

    Only thing that really gets to me is how commentators pronounce Cahill.

    The "Davies"/"Davis thing is quite interchangeable as well it seems.

    Kevin Davies you'd think would take an "ees" sound at the end, but most say it as Davis.

    When people make comparisons of players based on appearance as much as anything like when Jamie Redknapp said Milos Krasic was in Pavel Nedved mould(my arse he is) and when people said Ariel Ortega is the new Maradona.
