Suppose you have a physicist and a sociologist standing at the side of a field, observing a set of events unfolding on the field. The physicist does [describes] it using the terminology of mass and velocity and frequency of radiation and the rest. And the sociologist does it by describing it as a rugby match.

Also annoying, I can't remember which commentator it is, but one of them cannot pronounce Drogba. It all goes a bit Drogbaaaahhhhrr. Its Drogba. It's not difficult to pronounce at all.Modifying post.Comment

This. In fact most of the ****ty nicknames players get wind me up.Originally posted by Buzzo View Post I dislike it a lot when people refer to Martin Skrtel as 'Skittles'
Skittles
Monster (Mascherano)
and many many more.
Things like "Carra" are fine though because that is just a shortening of his name.
As you were.Comment

I know a load of Mancs who all say the same thing (it's a Manc trait - they have a certain line on an issue, normally Liverpool, that they all follow)....they have a problem with Liverpool fans/people/employees/players etc referring to us as 'Liverpool Football Club'. They claim it's a desperate attempt to add gravitas.Originally posted by Neil Young View Post

Wasn't there a Goal Andy Gray commentated on (it may have been Gerrard) and he went off on one ranting about goals and drawers.
"What. a. goal. Take that goal out of the top drawer. Place it somewhere a lot higher than that" etc. etc."
What the **** was he talking about?
Where does it end?
What a Goal. Take that goal out of the top drawer, Iron it. Fold it. Put it back on a shelf, out of the reach of small children. Only take it out to wear it on special occassions.
Its a ****ing goal, not a shirt or some socks. I just don't get it?

I hate when people say "the football" such as "...you can clearly see he won the football...", it used to be "...you can clearly see he won the ball..." When did it change? Most pundits seem to say it now.
I don't know why it annoys me, but it does
The only gracious way to accept an insult is to ignore it; if you can't ignore it, top it; if you can't top it, laugh at it; if you can't laugh at it, it's probably deserved.Comment

I hate the way Manchester United fans refer to their club simply as "United". OK, in Manchester it makes sense but to people from everywhere else it's just unthinking, insufferable arrogance.
Tell them from me to suck on that. W*nkers. No wonder they're so blind..

And yep, it's crap. It's unnecessarily precise, doubtless to make up for the absence of insight..

I'm trying to empathise with Shaggy.

But seriously, of course I get sometimes get annoyed at things I can't control. The issue isn't about getting annoyed; it's whether you try to control it..
