Another thing i hate, football fans (or soccer fans)

Now, i dunno how it is outside Britain, infact i dunno what it's like outside scotland although syd'smadcapgirl reffered to them as meat heads so i gather there's a lot in common.

"Kick the ****ing ball!" they shout across the stadium. I have a hobs season ticket so i sit in the same stand as these morons that piad a humdred quid or something to watch their team's home games, and secretly hate them.

"Hibs, yer (long string of nasty words that i won't force upon you good people)" I just don't understand it, at a game i try to be quiet so i don't look like one of them, but it seems i'm the minority. Even my dad turns in to a bit of a football hooligan and he's over 50!

Honestly, i think sure, jeer the opposition, but don't pay for a season ticket to watch a team you hate, 'cause that certainly won't help, and also, don't expect other people who pay to be happy with you screaming during a free kick.

And the worst part, stategic types who shout things like "pass to the right" as if the players are going to turn round and go "that's a good idea, thanks" and do it. Even more illogical is when people do stuff like that in their houses.

Football should be enjoyed by everyone, so cut the stupid screaming people. If you don't like them then don't go to the games, franly you're worse than the players!

Sorry if anyone here's actually like that, i didn't mnean to offend you, but frankly your behavior offends me :x

I have a few friends who are hooligans and I am not too sure I want to be associated with them. Football is for women anyway. You should be watching rugby!! Widnes in particular!!

Awe - no way!

I love sport!! Watching and playing! Keeps me alive!

Going back to this thread: another thing I hate is groups of girls (in their really early teens) hanging around street corners throwing abuse at you for no reason! It's usually when you're on your own and there's about 6 of them - smoking, swearing, drinking and giggling!! If only their parents could see 'em!

Word to that. Anything female, human and below the age of fifteen should be locked away and monitored, in my opinion! :lol:

Another thing i hate

Edinburgh youth against war

Ok, anyone who knows anything about me will know i have a twin brother, and he's VERY anti war. For this reason i dedicate this post to something he's a member of, the Edinburgh Youth Against war.

There's probably groups like this all over Britain but i'm basing this purely on my own experience. These groups are people who walk around shouting "no war" at people as if they personally cause it. The groups are made up purely of people who think they know about politics and come out with such useless claims as "Blair's as bad a Thatcher" despite not remembering anything about the iron lady nor being old enough to underdstand Labour policies.

To claim you know a lot about politics is ok, but to claim you know more than today's leading politicians is even worse. I may disagree with Tony Blair but atleast i don't accuse him of being part of a capitalist machine that ruins people while being manipulated by Tommy Shearadon of the Scotish Socialist Party. Quite why they put their trust in this man i don't know, but for him they do such stupid things as sit in the road.

The Edinburgh lot have got smaller and smaller since they began holding marches during school hours to up numbers, although not that the war's over they now moan about Palestine not that they can do anything about it. The last march had 40 people at it with 70 cops laughing at them and anyone who doesn't join in is a right wing conservative that is the cause of the war. I have nothing against people giving their views, but when they think they know about politics, organise marches with 40 people and put up ridiculous posters and making ridiculous claims that they don't understand.

And fianlly, be there a pro war group doing the same thing they would hate them, they should have more consideration :x

Old people who think that just because they're old they shouldn't have to queue up in shops/post offices etc.. yes I know they are more frail than us - but surely they're capable of waiting a few minutes!

People who throw litter in the street (sometimes right next to a bin!) - makes me mad :evil:

Rude, grumpy and miserable waiters in restaurants.. they're annoying.

And my number 1 thing of all time annoyances - ANNE ROBINSON :evil:
Words can't describe my hatred for that woman!!

I would have to say...

Ignorant people who do not base their judgements on truth and fact, especially ones who seem to believe in a particular cause (political, religious, etc...) but do not know much about the opposite viewpoint.

People with rude manners. :x

School girls who dress in very revealing clothes and try to act "cool". Although, I suppose the media is somewhat responsible for influencing their decision.

Other things I can't stand...

junk emails cluttering up my mailbox!
