The Great Debate: What do you hate most about modern football? | OneFootball

For this week’s Great Debate, we’ve put our rose tinted glasses on.

Here’s what we hate most about modern football.

Lewis Ambrose

Players not celebrating when they score against an ex-club.

If you don’t want to upset me, don’t leave the club I love. If you do leave us, I’ll probably understand why.

I certainly won’t respect you more because you scored against us and then declined the opportunity to be show some joy.

Enjoy the moment without rubbing it in my face and we’re all good.

Phil Costa

The exhausting, cesspit of negativity that is social media.

Twitter used to be a great medium for discussion, which would also provide breaking news and plenty of laughs.

Now it’s just flooded with @VxntageVanDijk and @PrincePogba making ridiculously long threads for attention.

It’s constant one-upmanship, boring agendas and baseless claims that are encouraged solely by numbers. Get in the bin.

Matt Frohlich

Everything about tickets – pricing, allocation, availability. Everything, especially in the Premier League.

English Football clubs and governing bodies always go on about how they want to make the game more accessible for all, when really its all about using the fans loyalty against them.

The worst thing though, is the allocation for the European Cup finals. Of the 63,500 seats available in Atlético Madrid’s Wanda Metropolitano for the Champions League final this season, each team will only receive 17,000 tickets.

That means there will be just under 30,000 left over for sponsors, broadcasters and other businesses to play around with and probably give out to some client barely interested in the game.

Without the fans, Football is nothing.

This is an easy one for me.

It’s become a scourge on the game and has really only come to the fore in the last 10 years or so.

The one thing in modern football that enrages me more than any is players’ obsession with winning the Ballon d’Or.

Who actually cares? Football’s a team sport and individual awards should be banned forthwith.
