    Brilliant.

    Boxing on TV. Those 'Round Girls' have put a lot of effort into their hair and make-up and picking out a nice bikini. The least the broadcaster can do is let us see them exercising their craft rather than giving us a closeup of a sweaty boxer's battered face.

    Not being able to celebrate a goal in football anymore at least for like 2-3 minutes because of VAR. It totally sucks the enjoyment out of watching football.

    That, and VAR doing heehaw when a corner/goal kick is awarded wrongly. Why put in a fancy, expensive system and then not use it for one of the most common issues in football...

    This should be tried out and it will show the serious flaws in var like imagine having a game stopped about 20-30 times adding so much extra time to the game.

    No stopping required. VAR simply says to ref in his ear "that's actually a corner" and ref then corrects his mistake.

    I'd say it does heehaw about lots of issues in football and that's the problem. It doesn't stop diving outside the box or poor refereeing in 50/50s.

    The BBC starting early with the wearing of the poppy.
    2 weeks until Poppy Day and they're wearing them on this mornings news.
    it's starting to look more and more like Christmas and fully expect there to be poppy selection boxes and advent calendars to be the next thing.

    I respect the right of people who want to observe the 11th of the 11th but FFS it's on a specific day for mourning not a fortnight of celebration.

    English people asking foreigners with limited English, questions at 100 mile an hour.

    Watching Redknapp and Neville just now asking Erik ten Haag questions, they’d be as well talking to him in rhyming slang. Stupid, disrespectful *.

    It’s worse if they speak really slowly to them as if they’re stupid. Even worse again if they speak English in a silly foreign accent like Joey Barton did.
    I suspect that ten Haag probably has a better grasp of English than Redknapp anyway.

    Watched a bit of the wheelchair rugby, was quite good. Fair play to them, they must have some upper body strength man.

    Anyway, fireworks. Honestly hope i read of some weans blowing their * fingers off in the morning.

    Agreed and too many of the * get more money than people struggling on minim wage jobs all while doing nothing but using that money to fund the cycle more and more.

    "Player of the Match". Do Sky really think there's a chance some players in the men's game might be 'identifying' as something else? GTF. Player of the Match for the women. Or Gal of the Game, I don't mind...

    Mad, flashing adverts on the pitchside hoardings.

    The tiny bits of netting everywhere after opening a bag of oranges.

    Adverts that not only tell you what to do but when to do it. 'Call this number NOW'. 'Visit our website TODAY'.

    People who turn the cooker off by turning the * clockwise to '0' instead of going anti-clockwise back down the numbers.

    BBC news headlines with the cricket 'Test' included with all the proper news.

    'Baby on Board' car stickers. That's a given but today I saw 'Autisitic child on board'. What am I supposed to do with that information?

    Modern songs no matter how crap (and they're all *) being described as 'anthems'.

    Certain words and phrases that real people don't use. Dead rubber. Briefs instead of tickets.

    Places that serve your fry-up or all-day-breakfast with the beans in a wee pot. Get them on the plate, ffs.

    Horoscopes in papers. Are there still folk daft enough...
