What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
We have a saying in football. If you think they're a bit of a weasel, yeah, we would call them a badge kissing weasel.
We call them legacy fans. They'll go to their pub round the corner. They won't go to the club shop and spend a load of money. That's why they like the tourists. Yes. I think
it's disgraceful. They know exactly what they're doing. They know as soon as they do that, the camera's gonna pan to them. The first player I saw do that was Oli Gunnar Solshar. It's the bare
minimum, right? Just don't bother poking that. But they only do it when they win.
And I said, Right, lads, I'm gonna stretch my thighs. What on earth?
Hello everybody, welcome to the Fozcast. This is things about football that you fans absolutely hate. And as a former player, I think I actually quite hate a lot of them as well. We've asked you on social media to get in touch with all of your suggestions and oh my gosh, have you lot delivered. We've got some bouters today, haven't we, Tom? Yeah,
absolutely unreal. We've done a few of these podcasts. Obviously, Wotto, ex England, GK, uh coach, legend with us for this one. But we've done a few of these things, football, and we always put it on social media and we always get a big response. This one, hundreds and hundreds.
And hundreds. The best yet. So this is going to be about in show because it's for you, by you, and that's what we like, don't we, Water? As long as we can answer some of these tricky questions. And we're having a shandy. Are we allowed to say this? I don't care. We're doing it. It's the evening. We're having a shandy. For some reason, we're recording on a Sunday night, right? We've had super Sunday of football and we've all got a little shandy, a little two and a half percent volume shandy in our hands, and I'm looking forward to it, lads. Let's get in. Come on then, what are the ground rules? Right, so the premise is
Two X Pros, do the fans have a valid point? Ah, okay. So every point is gonna be valid or have a day off. Okay.
What do fans hate most about players’ on‑field behaviour?
Okay. So we are all about balance on the Foscast. So the next one we're gonna do is things that play us. hate about fans. And we're gonna do we're gonna get players to anon anonymously tip. Right. And say, Do you know what? When fans do this, it really hacks me off. Yeah, okay. And we're gonna be right. Premier League winner A has said this. Yes, okay. All right. So that's next. Right. This is from a friend of ours that came in. When players roll up their short when taking a corner, this makes my blood boil, they said. The Christiana.
Ronaldo effect. Well, it's the Declan Rice man now, isn't it? It's Rice Rice Baby. Exactly. That is what it stems from. It stems from Cristiano Ronaldo doing it, and then a horde of players have followed suit. Declan Royce is doing it. He's the pinup boy. Everybody absolutely loves him. And it's filtered its way down into grassroots non-league football. These players with these lovely thick thighs showing off when they're about to take a corner because um they they say they say they're doing it because it gives them a little bit more freedom so I can movement yeah but I can get a whip in there I can really wrap my foot around it and whip it in. Movement. Well. Really what they're doing Wotto is just trying to show
Their thighs off. I think they're showing off. Like I can give you a good analogy. When I first started playing football and I went on one of my first England camps, because I had a broad Barnsley accent, they used to have to trot into the centre circle. There's a little bit of initiation when you're doing your first little bit of a stretch. So I had to walk into the center circle and I said, Right, lads, I'm gonna stretch my thigh. So pulled my thigh up, trotted out, one of the staff walked in, said, that were
Watto, he's gonna showed us how to stretch his thigh. Now I'm gonna do another Barnsley saying, Stretch the thighs up. What are you on about? That's the eyes, the thighs. Just wind him up on day one, mate, you know what I mean? Can't can't have a broad accent and play football game. I don't
think you have to be there.
