    Not boring persee, but things that annoy me in Football

    The rule where a player gets booked for removing his shirt after scoring an important goal, going into the crowd etc.

    The fuss about players changing shirts with opponents

    How modern stadia haven't figured out how to serve food and drink quickly at half time (e.g. ban cash, make the season ticket card like a contactless Oyster)

    Home made placards held by adults at games

    Ah, have we done the whole 'watching the match through a mobile phone' thing?

    Dunno about banning cash. They should certainly hire people who know what the word "beer" means though. We should all probably boycott the catering really. The club get no money for it, and if Delaware got no money for it they might walk away from their cosy 1,000 year contract and we can start again. Preferably with a caterer who hires peope who know what the word "beer" means.

    We don't get any money from it? Really?

    The shirt removal-thing is understandable. For the sponsors, a player celebrating his goal is the money-shot, so to speak. For them, it's ruined if he takes it off. Although I wonder what happens if he's wearing an equally advertiser-friendly shirt underneath
    "Plenty of strikers can score goals," he said, gesturing to the famous old stands casting shadows around us.

    "But a lot have found it difficult wearing the number 9 shirt for The Arsenal."
