I’m sure we all have that player, maybe more than one that we just dislike or hate for nothing worth hating them for lol. For example, I can’t stand John McGinn. I just dislike his face and his cube-like body and that dumb goal celebration he does when he sprints like a child running to the ice cream machine and does that dumb thing with his hands lol.

Again, I shouldn’t hate him for those reasons, but I do. Anyone else have those players you just don’t like for odd reasons?

    Wow!!! He’s a workhorse, great player and does the “dumb thing with his hands” because his little nephew has bad eyesight………"My nephew, he’s got poor eyesight and he has to wear the goggles to play football. So I decided it would maybe give him a bit of support to put the goggles on when I score. So now he’s happy”

    I’d call him one of the most likeable players myself

      He’s a complete pain to play against, goes down easily to win free kicks and is always in the ref’s ear, so I can see why some opposition fans dislike him if they don’t look any deeper. Off the pitch he’s a fantastic bloke. We’re lucky to have him.

      As a Leeds fan (hurr durr get off this sub) I mainly dislike McGinn cos of him going down softly and he crunched & injured Archie Gray (16 year old very promising youth player) in a pre-season friendly last season. So unnecessary to do that to a lad just starting his professional career
