Really tacky Premiership gimmicks and other modern football crap

Celtic did that with Larsson, didn't they? played The Magnificent Seven every time he scored.
Yeah, that's Selhurst

This thread needs a bit of this, doesnt it, hmm, two at the back, three in the middle, four up front, one's gone home for his tea. Beans on toast? Possibly, don't quote me on that. Marvellous.
This thread needs orange balls for playing in the snow, the Baseball Ground pitch in the 70s, tricky wee Scottish wingers raised on gravel pitches and ricketts and Leeds spending an extended period of exile away from the top flight.
At least some things are still normal

It was underwhelming but pleasingly crap.

we sang "what the fucking hell is that" when the bloke walked on the pitch with it stuck on his hand. It doesn't fly very high either

Benfica let an eagle loose before each home game. It starts off from the top of the centre stand and it does about half a dozen laps of the stadium before it lands on its perch. There's a lot of ooing and aahing. At palace we don't start him off too high up because A) there are no stands up there and B) I think he gets nosebleed.we sang "what the fucking hell is that" when the bloke walked on the pitch with it stuck on his hand.

& how many of your grounds can boast pigeon free stands!

A new side effect of modern football is the emerging connections between the Premier League and MLS. Sheikh Mansour's new plaything is New York City FC which will be Man City's sister club in the US and begin play in 2015.
Phil Rawlins has recently resigned his position as a board member for Stoke City in order to devote himself fully to his new job as president of Orlando City, which is located in Florida and is a Stoke sister club. They will begin play in MLS in 2015.
And perhaps best of all, David Beckham is in the beginning stages of organizing a new MLS club in Miami of which he will be the principal owner. Their tentative time frame for joining MLS is 2016 or 2017, circumstances depending.
The Premier League and MLS will be pals!

it's not just football/the premier league. i recall seeing an abseiling welshman belting out the national anthem at the millennium stadium before a rugby game a few years ago followed up by charlotte church or someone singing another dirge, followed up yet another one. all with flamethrowers etc.
and they give NZ shit for doing a haka

Is it Norwich that have those yellow fan things their supporters wave to save themselves the effort of clapping?
If you can't be arsed to clap, then you should not be allowed to flick the vees or do the "magic the beans" sign at the other fans
Demonstration at 20sec.

It's all bollocks. I want two teams to run out, captains to shake hands at the coin toss, and the game to start.
No music, no fireworks, no dancers, no plinths, no pyrotechnics, no hordes of kids, no life-sized mascots, no overpriced replica kit, no ridiculously named grounds, no glow in the dark boots or other stupid clothing e.g. snoods, tights or gloves, no headsets, no racing car seats, no minute of clapping, no military, no club-endorsed/provided flags, no moving kick off time to suit Sky, no moving advertising hoardings, no ludicrously over-paid and ill -behaved man-children, no hours of pundits rehashing manufactured controversy, no berating refs when most of the players are looking to cheat them, no cheerleaders, no brass bands, no corporate tickets, no changes of clubs names badges or colours for commercial reasons, no animals, etc.
This is football. If you don't find it sufficiently entertaining without all that shit, go to the fucking circus.
Then maybe we could have ticket prices that mean working people who are real football fans can go and watch a match, rather than the corporate 'match day experience' rip-off, which has left much of football sterile.

Ipswich have the works. Pre-game dramatic opera music, cheerleaders, after goal music. At least we don't have replays on a big screen in the stadium though, that's shite.

I haven't watched more than a few minutes of a Premier League match or MOTD for months now. Fuck it.
Half time entertainment. Ugh
My ideal half time entertainment:
Teams walk off
Go for a slash
Draw made, someone walks off with some money
Half time scores read out. Possibly some happy birthdays or hellos to littluns attending their first match
Teams come out again

Sadly even non-league is succumbing to some of this nonsense, like lining up for the handshakes before kick off.Non-league.
The start of matches should be the players sprinting out of the tunnel, doing a few stretches and kicking off after the coin toss. I can't see that shaking hands with all your opponents in a line before kick off adds anything to the respect they have for each other.
