Fair play record being used to separate teams that are level. Dreadful. Draw lots, flip a coin, anything is better than this.

Won’t be long until they do it on xG after goals scored 😂😂 I'd prefer its to be something skill-based. Corners won would perhaps be a better one, or non-set-pieces goals scored. Anyway, another thing that irks me... The VIPs sat in the stands in grandad armchairs

The thread title is minor irritations. This fella is a boil on the bum of the game.

I think corners are used in kids' football (or they were sometimes when I played it), but in adults' football I think it would just lead to players taking the ball into the corner and trying to blast it off opponents for a corner.
Anything would be better than yellow cards. Poland yesterday knew what situation they were in and were scared to make a tackle. I don't really blame them, it's FIFA who should see how stupid this rule is. It's ironic that they call it "fair play" but it encourages teams to be non-competitive and go against the mantra of "play to win", which is one of the main points on their Fair Play code.

Football grounds that use the floodlights for some kind of light show.

This is a strange one but why when somebody scores an own goal do people say "he's put through his own net"? Into it, surely, not through it!

Shirt numbers that are almost the same colour as the shirt itself - e.g. Brazil.

One thing which really annoys me, is player ratings after the game being totally guided by the result. See the Sky ratings for the England vs France game as a case in point.

Players wasting time from the first minute, and finally getting booked for it in the 86th minute.
Useless and pointless. He's got away with it all game. Book him after 10-20 minutes and he'll stop doing it.

Book him after 10-20 minutes and he'll stop doing it. I was going to make exactly this point on the match thread. What makes it worse was that the ref could see it happening in the first 10 mins, so paraded over to the goalkeeper, chest pumped out, as if to say,"I'm in control here - no messing with me"... which he then did again, and again, and again - probably 6 or 7 times in total before final booking him right at the end. What's the point in that? You can hardly blame teams like Alfreton time wasting when they know they can get away with it.

Why don't we block the corners off in the ground by the floodlights to stop the ball rolling into them? All it needs is a board going across
Why don't we utilise the youth team that come on and take penalties. Get them on ball boy duty

I'd rather we played a shirt corner and had some passing play into the box that gets a shot off. Rather than a corner that gets headed clear or straight into the keeper

When you are walking behind somebody, you say excuse me as you clearly want to get past & they don't hear you because they're talking on their phone. Then you end up tapping them on the shoulder & they jump out of their skin with a perplexed look on their face as if to say well why didn't you say excuse me.

I've got a minor irritation.
When we film the team running out all the seats surrounding the tunnel appear pretty empty. Even for big matches there's plenty of empty seats. I'm sure there's reasons for this but it gives the initial perception of a low attendance.
Minor irritation.
