1. Berating of officials by supporters who don't know all the 'Laws' and don't have the best sight line in order to form a judgement. 2. Constant standing in seated areas at stadia. 3. Foul and abusive chants/language in stadia. 4. People who constantly walk in front of one, blocking one's view, as they are returning to their seats after half-time. 5. Bland footballer's interviews after the game - hardly insightful at all.

Can't wait for the next riveting installment. 5. Mark Hughes and Stoke City. Nice idea but only if you get to chose which club it goes to not into a general pool. It's 106 miles to Chicago, we got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark... and we're wearing sunglasses.

1) Clubs ripping off supporters like selling football shirts for £45 when they are still making a profit when selling them at £20. 2) The England football team - a constant let down. 3) Sky changing fixture dates and times. Football should be on a Saturday at 3pm. 4) Sponsorship on the front of shirts. 5) Football supporters who buy football shirts for £45.

1. The inflationary spiral from the fees paid to agents for doing f* all all the way down to what we're expected to pay to watch a handful of our games on TV. 2. The amount of bulls* spouted by so-called journalists every time there's a transfer window or a managerial appointment. 3. Incompetent and biased officials and the pi-awful standard of officiating. The France game showed that the introduction of CCTV to support referees just means there are now sometimes six t*s instead of four. 4. Prime donne who think they're God's gift and then turn in performances like the one England gave against Iceland in the knockout stage of Euro 2016. 5. Pundits and journalists who think that there are only six clubs in England worth talking about. ============ The Ferret ============

I might have some sympathy if the officials did a reasonably competent professional job. So often matches are just ruined by their failure - or refusal - to do so. More often than not the supporters are in the right. ============ The Ferret ============
