The v2 Room 101

First topic message reminder :

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
People who believe Ryan Giggs should have played for England
'Calling for the mark' in rugby
659m Manchester Utd fans
Andy Townsend for being the worst commentator going and not being Irish
Fake boyhood dreams when signing

Players of any sport having a distant cousin to wangle changing nationality

Woah there TSJ. Line crossed. Mick is a legend #canaryfan

Well..... errr... he might be... ummm... a fan of Norwich but... errr... he can't... urrr... string a sentence togetherrrrr... ummm... without doing this.

Have you ever been to Norfolk? It's a miracle you can sort of understand him

Matt Dawson as captain on A Question Of Sport.

Poor.

It's not been the same since Bill and Emlyn.

Yeah. Tuffers is good though.

They were the days. Great chemistry between them two legends.

Neil Warnock. For impressive range of irritating comments and observations....

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

We have a winner

Personal hatred aside, Millwall FC and its fans deserved to be locked into Room 101 with each other. We could open it again in a day, I doubt anything would be left of them.

Adrian Durham is another cracking shout. His job is to be a pr*ck, one he was born for anyway, and everyone laps it up and rings in, fueling his career.

Few of my own:

Giving 110% - Just stop saying that.

The furore over diving - Luis Suarez' diving gets him more abuse than Robert Huth's continuous need to hit people during games.

John Cena, because you know pro wrestling is a sports simulation and he needs to go!

Long sleeved tops and long leggings in women's beach volleyball

Golfers who think it is acceptable and that they think they can be as good as they can be whilst having the shape of Cyril Smith.

Grown men who make banners to take to football matches calling for the sacking of a manager.

You actually took time out of your life to make a banner to take to a silly game? As an adult? A fully grown adult?

God help us all.

Ashley Cole - cant stand the bloke.

Updated with all the nominations, if there are any missing please let me know.

Pundits who after a blatant piece of cheating, blame the ref and not the player.

Commentators and pundits who try to justify a dive by saying there was contact or that it was a foul.

Commentators/Pundits who after a player doesn't go down and misses his shot say: "Had he gone down he'd have had a penalty."

I declare the opening V2 nominations officially closed.

I shall announce results shortly!

First up, those that didn't quite make it but were all worthy contenders...

659m Man Utd 'fans' - I agree, the vast majority are fans in the loosest term possible.

Sycophantic interviewers - Annabel Croft, Steve Bunce etc, extremely nauseating to hear them sound like a fanboy/girl.

Lazy journalism - A source at a club said etc, fills pages on quiet news days, though those who believe such tripe are worse.

Inability to recognise greatness in players because they haven't played in this country.

Matt Dawson on Question of Sport - dullness personified. Though it does beat Ally McCoist being there so that Sue Barker doesn't spend 30 minutes fluttering her menopausal eyelashes at her.

Nadal fans (though in fairness any overzealous tennis fan can fit in this category)

Praising God for their victory, especially Americans.

India's stance on DRS, it simply makes no sense.

Sports stars who wear snoods, long sleeves, gloves etc - run more.

But my winner is...

Fans of any sport who wear the shirt of their team etc but have no inclination to participate in that sport.

I don't see an issue with wearing the teams shirt when going to watch the team play.

I know nominations are closed but..

Wrestling!!!!!!!!! Its not a sport, ridiculous that its even classed as a sport!

Obviously couldn't be included then could it?

it can, because on this site, its somehow classed as a sport.

CF wrote:it can, because on this site, its somehow classed as a sport.

So is Off Topic, Films, Music etc.

It's never been classed as a sport on here.

CF wrote:it can, because on this site, its somehow classed as a sport.

It's kept seperate from the sport forums in it's own section titled "Wrestling".

Tell that to the Super Heavy Greco-Roman wrestlers.......

if its not a sport why is it in the Olympics CF?

To be fair he was referring to the John Cena nomination.
