Any reference to a 'catch'
Any reference to a 'referee'
Asking who all those orange/pink people (the runners/waterboys)
Ugh. Mate who comes to the footy with me sometimes always calls the umpire a ref. He didn't start watching football until 2009 and was into soccer before that and so ALWAYS calls them ref. ******* embarrassing.

Though to be fair, this mate of mine decided to support Geelong when he started following in 2009. When challenged on it, he claims it had nothing to do with the fact that they'd just won two flags in three years, but that their colours were the same as Melbourne Victory's. Victory's colours look a lot more like Carlton's to me than Geelong, but anyway.

They think injuries are no excuse as it just means you lack depth

Also was talking to a guy from my work last week. He was talking about some ex Blues player who now plays in the local league down his way in the SE suburbs and apparantely is a massive druggy/pisshead etc etc

Me: Do you remember who it was?
Him: Not sure. Was a big name player but don't think it was Chris Judd
Me: Ummmm yeh I wouldn't say so.....

Give (Football club recruiting manager) shit for recruiting (Player x) over (Player Y) without realising how highly rated (Player x) was before he was drafted.
Blame the development managers instead.

People who blindly follow clubs just because its their team generally turn out to know sweet FA about the actual game.

They are also the mongs who call any other supporters of their club who critcise the club at times "not a true supporter".

They come on Bigfooty, say 'things were so much better in the good old days', and whine endlessly about TV commentators....
