Deep dives
Unused subs running during warm-down
One irritation in football is when unused substitutes are required to run around the pitch during the warm-down after a game. It seems unfair to make players who haven't played go through additional physical exertion, especially if the team has lost. It's reminiscent of making a child run up and down the stairs before bed to tire them out. It's not the most glamorous part of being a professional footballer, and it's a sight that often prompts sniggering from the spectators.
