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 think you’ve answered your own question.

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??

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.

Cause that was the railway side of the ground and the other side is the main road?

Albion Rovers about 10 or 12 years ago for one.

Offside, I understand offside, but why allow it to carry on for many seconds, causing great consternation and possible injury, call it straight away

Obstruction by a defender to shepherd a ball out being acceptable when it’s a foul anywhere else on the park

A couple that bug me.
1. Shirt pulling/holding. It`s got worse.
2. Watching the Airdrie v St Johnstone game last night there was a point towards the end (Airdrie chasing the game) where Airdrie were breaking from midfield and getting beyond the St Johnstone midfield. Reece McAlear was done for pace and purposely swiped the boys legs from behind, yellow card given to McAlear.
That`s generally called a `professional foul` or the player is said to be `taking one for the team`. I don`t think a yellow card is strong enough?

Why they don`t swap the flood lights with electric bar heaters. Whack them right up for some mood lighting AND thaws the pitch/fans.

Never understood defenders blocking the ball purposely allowing it to run out of play for a by-kick whilst obstructing the opponent from fairly making a challenge.

Never understood why goalies are so protected. They are just another player. During a corner, a defender and striker can tussle, but the striker can`t go near the goalie without giving away a free kick.
Likewise, if the keeper catches the ball in open play, the opposition can`t "block" him as he kicks it out. If a defender got the ball, he`s open to being tackled, but you can`t even go near the keeper under the same circumstances.
Don`t make sense to me.

How is the water pressure at the taps so high in the Norrie stand? We’ve all walked out looking like we’ve pee’d ourselves at least once.

Why are players allowed to steal yards at throw ins?
Used to be at the corner flags but now seems everywhere.
Sometimes it`s so blatant too - I can understand a couple if it`s not obvious exactly where it went out, but sometimes it`s so far away from the place, it`s taking the absolute p and rarely pulled up.
COME ON YE PARS!

Why do clubs play music after a goal? And who decided the announcer had to prattle on.
Gets on my goat, the fans are already making the noise.

If it`s normally that wee corner beside the main stand that freezes up, why not get covers on it, then first think in the morning get some kind of wee tent over the area with space heaters blowing hot air. Surely there must be some solution
