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!

McLaren wrote:Any mention of religion by a sportsperson. And that includes praying near or on the pitch.

"Amen" (see what I did there?) to that Mac. They should be crucified for that.

Football and everything associated with it.

Just stick the whole thing in there and be done with it. Life would be a better place.

'Game of the people'? Like f**k it is.

Got to defend Robbie Savage, have no great love of the bloke as a pundit but saw him at the darts when he played for Birmingham and as I was a little drunk I went over to him and said I was a Villa fan and would not forgive myself if I didn’t point out to him he was a dirty bluenose ba****rd.

He just laughed and said fair play mate and shook my hand. Does not make him a better pundit but got to like the fact he can take such abuse in good grace.

FIFA (specifically Septic Bladder)

QATAR hosting the World Cup

Certain media circles thinking and printing that thinking that England are a feared and respected nation capable of winning The World Cup/Euros.

Duke "He's got him" McKenzie - "He's gone, John, he's gone"

Insightful commentary gems they are not.

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

Running
Cycling
Swimming

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

(Sorry Lumbering J and your earlier post - it's purely a flip side of the coin view and intended tongue in cheek)

Golf, Cricket, Snooker and Bowls being considered sports.

Nowt wrong with Crikcet being classed as a sport, lad!

Paul Macartney and you can throw Rod Stewart is as well though at least he doesnt take himself as seriously as Macca.

and Darts

I suggest that someone who thinks cricket does not involve quite a lot of physical exertion tries wicket keeping for a day, or a couple of overs of quick bowling.

Yes, fundamentally it is a sport where skill is a higher prerequisite than pure fitness (particularly for batsmen and slow bowlers), but it definitely has some physical demands.

And it clearly passes the shoe test therefore it is a sport. No more arguments need be had.

Though it fails the trouser, knitted jumper and break for lunch test spectacularly.

Granted.

One step at a time, old boy.

Mick Dennis.

The disproportionate amount of time given to Ronnie O'Sullivan over any other snooker player.

Joey Barton - scumbag.

(Great idea Hero.)

I had a knitted jumper, which my mum spent many an hour on. never played and had a lunch break, but a few tea and drink ones.

A very serious choice for me!

SETH BLATTER, and the rest of FIFA!

The corruption and the ignorance in our World sport should not exist in this day and age!

I'd like to put in journalists who blatantly make up stories citing "a source". There is no "source". I know this, you know this and it's just embarrassing for everyone involved.

What about journos who "reveal", see something "stunning" or "sublime"?
Illiteracy (and/or lack of imagination) doesn't need to be advertised. BBC please note.

Sporting cliches i.e "Gutted", "Sick as a Parrot", "Over the moon".

In fact dispense with interviewing sports stars, they have NOTHING interesting to say.

People who call football phone-ins and start with "I'd just like to say........"

Oh and adults who wear football shirts when not playing or about to be playing football.

Indias stance on DRS!

Millwall football club

Unfit women tennis players

Long socks rule at applicable golf courses

Bow ties, trousres and shirts in snooker.

Uefa as well as fifa mentioned before

Justin leonard

The hot women at the darts. I just cant stand them beauties holding on to fat ugly pub dudes..

Ha ha. Kvitova's beer belly.

Foruma 1, and everything about it. A poor spectacle, too heavily hinged on engineering and technology to be a true sport for me and, while I'm sure there are some fine fellas on here who follow it, my experience of Formula 1 fans in general is that of pompous rich boys who are obsessed with material things in order to cover up their mid-life crisis they're suffering with.

Well said Chris, it's scrapheap challenge with a bigger budget.

Adrian Durham
I dont think I have seen or heard a sensible thing from him......................ever
and he has stupid haircut

Wayne Rooney's Hair.
David Haye.
And anyone who thinks Scottish Football/The Old Firm doesn't matter. Mr Messi will agree with me.

Baseball for using parachutes to catch a ball.

Jonathon Trott's leg stump guard.......we get it you take leg stump....no need to dig a trench!

Nadal and his pant wetting menopausal housewife fanclub can go in room 101.

India fans constantly harassing Sachin Tendulkar!!
