On the back of BJR's gripe about "taking one for the team" on the matchday thread.
My personal gripe is players calling for a throw in when the liars now full well it's just come off some part of their body.
It can't help the referee knowing that potentially all 22 players can't be trusted.

Every foul now, even a slight touch, is met with an agonised yell and a quick look at the ref to make sure he's heard it to try and get an opponent booked or sent off. 95% of the time the "injured " player is sprinting off with or after the ball within seconds!

I’d say 99.9% of the time. Cheating scum, the lot em |

My personal gripe is players calling for a throw in when the liars now full well it's just come off some part of their body. It can't help the referee knowing that potentially all 22 players can't be trusted. I criticise refs (and some deserve it) but it’s a bloody hard job when there’s so much cheating going on. If I could go with a top 5 in no particular order it’d be 1- When players are cornered and under pressure going weakly down under the most minimum pressure. 2- playacting - the classic of rolling around like they’ll never walk again. 3 - keepers dropping onto the ball. 4 - Claiming for corners / throw ins knowing they’ve kicked it out. 5 - players crowding the ref trying to get players booked. |

I think 5 has improved a lot in recent years |

Am I biased in thinking on the whole we are quite well behaved when it comes down to the black arts? 😉

What really fucks me off. More than anything in the world are throws ins starting where they went out and being thrown about 10-15 yards further forward

Approximately the same level of scumbagedness in every league imho.
For what it’s worth my personal pet hate is that the ball placed for almost every corner is outside the quadrant.
Makes my blood boil dos that.

They shouldn't be allowed to be weaponised. There should be some sort of alteration to make them be taken far far quicker, either in terms of a changed method of delivery or a very short time limit to get the ball back into play or it's handed over. |

Makes my blood boil dos that. They don’t, the assistant ref always checks that. It only needs the outside of the ball to be in line with the white line. That said, I’m not sure what the advantage is of doing so |

It's not just him though is it it's absolutely widespread you wouldn't believe adult human beings would behave so irrationally in such numbers. Then they start haranguing the officials which I can only see can ever be counter productive. It's really funny to see how otherwise normal peoples behaviour changes in a crowd and try to fathom how the hell they think they're helping their own cause. The joys of attending years and years of shit football, the people watching is never as dull. |

It's how it's always been and probably how it always will be. Whether it's counter productive or not if we get a wanker of a ref they are likely to know by the end of the game what the crowd think of them. |

Makes my blood boil dos that. It’s the “whole of the ball” thing though isn’t it - the whole of the ball would need to be outside the quadrant line for it to be deemed illegal. I think in most cases some part of the ball is actually overhanging the quadrant line. Shit, I’ve just realised this response makes me sound like an effing ref!!! |

You're correct but that doesn't make it right and it's really weird how it's unique to football. Doesn't happen in any other sport that I can think of. Imagine in the Olympics a group of long jumpers all swearing blind to the officials that they jumped further than they did, boxers getting aggressive with the referee or sprinters pretending someone else tripped them up and rolling around in fake agony. It's odd. |

Naah nothing quite that dramatic. I've seen roll ins and tap ins suggested, you could have some sort of exclusion zone coupled with the throw has to go backwards, 10 or 15 seconds to get the ball back in play or turn it over. Absolutely anything just to speed up getting the ball back into play in a matter of seconds instead of all the fucking about and pantomime we have to suffer for virtually every throw in. I actually like the countdown option. You could have some klaxon sounding once a player has the ball in the approximate position(no restart for changing thrower) of the throw going for say 15 seconds and if by then you haven't taken it it gets turned over same when a keeper takes possession of the ball 10/15 seconds to get rid of it or he gets a yellow card. Not sure what to do about faking injury tongue in cheek no mark on you and you have to go off for 2 minutes. Just anything to make the bastards play the game basically. |
