The v2 Room 101

Welcome to the v2 version of Room 101, the place for you to banish all the things you loathe!
I'm your host, Hero, and I'll be adding up categories for which you then get to put forward your nominations within that category from which I shall choose which I judge is the most worthy to be placed into the room based on the subject and the reasoning!

So without further ado...

Based on the main focus of the forum the first category is... SPORT! It can be anything at all in relation to sport that you wish to nominate, from a sport itself, a competitor in a sport, a rule, whatever you wish as long as it is sport related!

Nominations close at 5pm on Friday.

Options so far are...

Zlatan Ibrahimovic for being overrated

'Calling for the mark' in rugby
659m Manchester Utd fans

Zlatan Ibrahimović - One Word - Overrated

I don't get what the big deal is with him!
He never sets the world alight when ever i see him.

People who still, after all this time, think Ryan Giggs had the option of playing for England.

Not a hige fan of 'calling for the mark' in rugby.

Huge.

Manchester United fans. All 659m of them.

Could i also Nominate Andy Townsend, Worst Commentator going!
Average player, only played for Ireland coz he once owned a Irish setter and his only career highlights were the onces he put in his hair

Added

Well that's getting my vote, good call VDT!

Your asking Hero, a United Fan, to be put all United Fans (including myself) into Room 101

In fairness I would put a large number of them in!

He knows he deserves to be in Room 101, it's whether he condemns the other 658,999,999 United glory hunters with him

Tottenham.
The club and the place, come to think of it.

People who always state it was their boyhood dream to play at a certain club on signing.

(ie Robbie Keane every time he signs somewhere)

Can I name some V2 posters?

I presume you can

Oh oh, duck lads, it's about to get messy...

That stupid rule where players born in Northern Ireland can play for Republic of Ireland but a player born in Republic of Ireland can't play for Northern Ireland

Hmm you seem to have a thing against Irish footballers.

Only joking.

or maybe you do

NICKISBHAFC



before deleting my post, hero said we could name posters!

I nominate CF, because he nominated a fellow v2 poster

My three worst sports pundits:

Robbie Savage
Garth Crooks
Brian Moore

no worries azzy...I always speak the truth

Whilst you can name other posters it has to be for sporting reasons, simply just naming them doesn't fall under the remit of the category.

And on a similar note the same goes for the punditry for Savage, Crooks and Moore, what reasoning do you have for disliking them?

Steve bunce, knowledgable man with excellent analytical skill but spends his time licking Ol' Frank Warren' boxers arses instead of asking pertinent questions.

yeah I know, but I had to say it lol, was the perfect set-up!

Crooks annoys me because he'll use twenty words when three will do. I find him to be extremely pompous.

I dislike Savage from his playing days, as he personifies everything I find negative about football. He was disloyal, dirty and a massive diver.

Moore biased commentary annoys me, even though I'm English as well!

Agree with Garth Crooks along with Alan Shearer and Alan Hansen

Should have made this a global - everyone would like to drop something into this one I feel.

Sky Sports Hype Machine

e.g. Super Sunday. Or "welcome to the big match, and have we got a treat for you tonight, this is the big one we've all been looking forward to, yes its Wigan away to Reading from the Madejski" or similar.....

Ha! It would seems that way, I think its a really unfair rule which gives Eire a real advanage over N. Ireland!

Giovanni Trappotoni - For refusing to give Wes a chance or recognise his talent
Andy Johnson - Crocked, overpaid, diving mercenary
Joe Buck - Literally the worst NFL commentator ever
Neil Doncaster - Screwed Norwich up, now screwing the SPL up

I could go on for ages...

Stuart Barnes, for speaking. Ever

Stephen Jones the journalist, for writing. Ever

Perhaps it would be good for everyone...including himself...if Rory McIlroy's motormouth was locked up in room 101.

Over analysis of football ad nauseum on radio, and when the next two cretins come in to take over they start all over again.

Talksport is guilty of this to the point where H&J is the only thing worth listening too.

Other inclusions.

Scottish Football/Old Firm thinking they matter.

Good call Olly about Joe Buck - absolutely beyond awful for baseball too.

But I'd like to add any American doing football commentaries. They've been using the regular guys that you listen to and built up a large cult-ish following and, now that they've got a good thing going, inserted one of Fox's Americans who doesn't know a thing about the game. Bloody typical. They don't know what they don't know.

Endless Sexton/O'Gara debates... And the idiotic Irish press that think ROG is still the best thing since sliced bread. Here's looking at you kid (Conor George, Tony Ward, George Hook)

Can we keep Annabel Croft from Tennis commentary when Roger Federer is playing? Her constant sycophantic babble is very painful. I was unfortunate to listen to her while watching Federer v Granollers.

Crawley Town FC

for being very bad and losing games they need to win and they lose them which mean we fallout the play-offs being of how bad crawley are.

Wigan Athletic fans

For being non- existant

Paulo Dicanio

For being a Muppet and breaking our benmch

Rafa - for not understanding what the term "interim" means! and you being a moaner in general! FACT!

Updated the OP with the latest editions.
Once the deadline has passed I will whittle it down to a top three and make my decision.

Wearing gloves in a short sleeved shirt. Man up

Adrian Durham.

sport snobs who can only appreciate one sport and think everything is beneath their favourite one.

There's a simple explanation - schoolgirl crush. Not very becoming for a middle aged lady

Activities which people try to pass as sports, but in reality and just a recreational activity which requires little physical effort.

Darts
Golf
Cricket

These people are obviously skilled, but it ain't a sport.
