Things we hate about modern football

I haven't read back the thread but the knee slide celebration really annoys me.. not sure why but I hate it
 
Government and police condoned near rioting - fireworks, amplified music, hotel fire alarm antics - in and around the hotels of visiting national teams. Gone are the days when a good baton charge - or three - would subdue throbbing mobs baying for the blood of World Cup qualifying rival. Now? They just want to see their rivals nervous systems twitch a bit more before kickoff.
 
The fact that glory hunting is considered completely normal, in fact it's almost considered better than supporting a local team.
Emirates Marketing Project or Man Utd fans in London commenting on our lack of trophies is the worst example.
 
Slide rule pass always makes me laugh. Ah, there's cliches in every sport, some more fun than others. Contemplate the standard vocab of slang terms for ice hockey, the second-most popular sports in Canada. After soccer.
