Random Irritations

[HomerJSimpson]

VAR - probably the nail in the coffin for me and watching football. Whether the end result is right or wrong it removes the joy and excitement and everything that's good about football. That applies when it's for or against your team - let's all wait 5 minutes before reacting emotionally to a game that used to be full of emotion.

Sucking the whole emotion out of the game for supporters at live games. I suppose for the armchair fan with access to all the angles and in depth analysis there is something to watch and listen too but as a fan at the stadium it already has the stop start feel of an NFL game

The players only have themselves to blame for some of it. Their constant diving, cheating and moaning at ref's decisions during the last few years hasn't helped. It's the fans that are. Being cheated.

Fair point. Another reason I've fallen out of love with football. They are a bunch of cheats and sadly not many exceptions.

That why I now very rarely watch premiership football. Getting my football fix now by my local county league

Oh, and bagpipes, just no. Don't.

There is a funny sketch from Danny Bhoy about bagpipes ruining the orchestra. Would add the YouTube link if I could !

He is also comes onto the stage to the sounds of the bagpipes. Worth watching.

I have a feeling even as a Scot he is not a fan.

Yep Footballs very own speed camera.

No longer can you celebrate a goal, as you have to wait for VAR to stick its nose in. Still it’s what fans want... apparently.

Loud music and fireworks scaring the hedgehogs in the garden

 

[Beezerk]

Yes I am with you on that. VAR sucks the joy out of it.

I guess you could call it LiVARpoolphil in that case 😂😂😂

After an afternoon in the pub, I got home last night looking forward to eating leftover curry from Friday's takeaway. Only to discover my Mother in Law had been round to borrow our microwave as hers had broken. She'd took the microwave complete with my leftovers. Cheese on toast did not hit the same spot.

 

[MegaSteve]

The weather forecast being completely wrong... AGAIN! 😠😠

Suspect anyone hoping to see some cricket today, from Lords, will be disappointed 😞...

How can you tell if hedgehogs are scared?

Same here.
No VAR in the Midland Football League.
No CCTV either and no prospect of Facial Recognition Technology.
George Orwell correctly predicted the future in 1948 when he wrote 1984.

Stopped eating and curled into a ball seems to be a giveaway.

 

[USER1999]

They are hedgehogs, it's what they do.

 

[MegaSteve]

Proper grumpy head stuff 😠😠😠...

Being woken by some lowlife clearly believing it's OK to operate their audible warning device at proper soppy o'clock...
Then realising it was precipitating... Totally (guess what) not forecast...
Final nail in the coffin being a poxy Tesco delivery and all the kerfuffle that surrounds that blight on suburbia...

Cats. I weed my flower beds, and the following morning they're full of their she ite....
Cats should be banned.

On another animal theme.......the old lady yesterday taking her 15 yr old little dog for a drag/walk, its now blind, deaf and has a heart condition. It was struggling to stand up, let alone keep up with someone who walks slow anyway.

Being woken by the dog barking like crazy at 5.30 this morning, went down to investigate and found a Fox standing on patio table with the dogs favourite red ball in its mouth! He looked at me then nipped over the fence nicking the ball! Dog charged around the garden for about 5 minutes then just laid on the grass distraught!

A comfy garden chair, a 12 bore, a nice bottle of merlot and you're sorted. (Clarkson J. circa 2012)
