 Answer me this...

What is something you`ve never really understood about football? What makes sense on a Saturday afternoon, but would be daft any other time? What do you "get" about football, but couldn`t explain it to a non-fan?
Stick your "I`ve never really got that" in here. Maybe it`ll be answer, maybe naw.

I`ve never understood the point in announcing match attendance, or why we clap it.

Why goalkeepers warm up in the goalmouth? They always blame a dodgy bounce when they make a howler. Why not practise in the areas between the 18-yard box and the touchline?

This is Andy Tod`s world and we are lucky to live in it.

I’ve never understood why the wee lads and lasses at the kiosks look absolutely frozen yet when kids run aboot ootside in all weather you never see a jacket on and they look perfectly warm.

I think you’ve answered your own question.
“Run aboot”

Never understood why folk have to eat at a football match. 3pm is not a meal time.

Even more pointless now that it’s an accountant’s definition of attendance. It’s billy bonkers.

Why are the floodlights on when they`re not needed? I get it that you can`t switch them on during play but why not switch them on at half-time if there`s enough daylight during the first half?

Weather changes during a match sometimes. Might be bright at kick off but then rain comes and dark clouds overhead.
In general though, I think tradition was always to put them on a half time at this time of year.

Why do keepers hit the crossbar at the start of the game? It`s the same height it was last week.

Why, at any kick off during the match, do I always have the overwhelming urge to shout

“Mon The DA” just as the ball is kicked, and have done for years??

** or Scotland when I’m at the national stadium

Why did they not build the main stand on the north side of the ground? Then we wouldn`t have the problem of the shadow on the pitch that causes the turf to freeze.
