This first name only bollocks.
Hoddle seemed to start it, Jenas caught the habit from him like he always does (he really does), and now fuckers on here are doing it too.

STOP IT, FFS!
 
The non existence nowadays of managerial Trilby Hats!
(but not Malcolm Allison’s silly Fedora)
 
throw ins for me. The ball goes out-defender picks it up and advances 5 yards-tosses ball to midfielder-mf advances 5 yards then lets someone else have a try- player 3 takes 3 large steps forward before running another 5 yards before throwing the ball in. All this time the linesman (whose job it is to police this) is advancing up the pitch trying to keep up. He should be standing where the ball went out signalling the foul throw. Forest have this down to a fine art. To them box to box refers to the throw in not the player.

A ‘fine art’ at throw-ins is also noticeably in place at Leicester City, who have schooled the ball-boys in the technique of ‘quick-fire-multi-ball’.
Those unfamiliar with this can be bamboozled when experiencing it at the King Power for the first time. Once the ball goes out of play, a strategically placed youth, already equipped with ball, can jettison it to the nearest LCFC player in under 0.017 seconds.
Once in receipt of the ball, the blue shirted hero can then dither for up to two and a half minutes while musing that a ‘throw-in routine’ is not something that’s been covered in training
 
Giving the ball back after being kicked out of play .. not contesting drop balls and other ‘pretend’ sporting gestures that allow coaches to fall back on systems and deny fans a bit of fun.
 
Folk who 'run the line' at kids and amatuer football, but hold the flag tight to the handle instead of letting it flap. May as well be holding a stick.

Do these imbeciles see the assistant referee's on the TV doing that? No, they don't, so why the hell can't they hold the flag properly? Absolutely half-arsed and a shambles of the human race.

Worse then that running the line whilst having a coffee.talking on the mobile ,asking if their 10 year can hold the flag!!
 
Under Law 12 in football a goalkeeper is only allowed to hold the ball (once they have gathered it and stood on their feet) for 6 seconds, has to be the most abused Law in Football, I’ve never seen a ref pull a keeper for it in a match, I used to do it down here in Cornwall, got a good few remarks after matches…
 
Retired players on the mic, pre match telling me to support my team. Sod off I'm there and spent a load of cash to do so.

The fact that in the UK you can't take a beer to your seats, all because as a nation we have an utterly moronic relationship with it when it comes to football.
 
Klopp standing on the half way line pre match staring at the opponent’s players to “intimidate them” - like he’s Mike fucking Tyson
 
The fact that the clock isn’t stopped to check VAR. Sometimes 4+ mins to check and then only 2 mins added on. Why. Just stop the clock. Then every second lost gets counted at the end
