Pet hates.

When returning a deep kick, the fullback wastes valuable time and allows the chasing team team to gain valuable yards by passing the ball to the winger to let him return.

It losses yards, fools nobody and winds me up!

.....& they do the same move every time ! Week in week out .

The 'scrum' is a pet hate of mine!

whys that?...
Because we still have it or because its uncontested?

Austria is mine, it's fooling no one, it's just Germany's B team.

Either contest it or scrap it, they take too long to form and seriously wind me up

Ear splitting pre-match and half time music
Dancing on the pitch to ear splitting pre-match and half time music

Something else that winds me up is the report system but that winds everyone up as it is a complete cop out for the spineless refs!

I've never understood the reasoning behind a player having to pass the ball from the sideline to the player taking the restart penalty after a kick to touch. Doesn't this just "penalise" the attacking team as they end up with a player out of position?

like he's a ballboy you mean?

That bloody whistler in the South Stand!

The lack of coverage on National Sport bulletins (except Sky Sports I guess!)

A penalty on the halfway line for kicking out on the full from kick off. (to harsh)

Asking the video ref to check something when the (home) fans start shouting.

chargedowns, warrington just stop it!!!!!!!

Kicking the ball "backwards" in to touch from a penalty i.e.towards your own posts. I fully understand that this is to give the space for a better attacking platform, but why kick it, what on earth is the point? - when you can simply carry the ball back as far as you like as long as it's in line with the infringement.

I look forward to the day when a player does kick "backwards" and fails to find touch (one day this will happen).
