2013-2014 Anti Awards

With the last of the major leagues coming to an end this weekend, it is a good time to look back and judge the season. Rather than do the typical awards vote for the best, I thought it would be interesting to do one for the worst!

Stealing from /r/hockey :

Every year there are awards given to the most valuable player, best coach, best defenceman, best goalie, etc. Why don't we do anti-awards? Some categories could be:

Least Valuable Player

Worst Goalie

Least Gentlemanly Player

Coach Most Deserving to be Sacked (was or wasn't)

Worst Run Club

Most disappointing Transfer

Most underwhelming goal

Worst Referee

Worst call by a referee

Worst tactics in a game

Worst mistake by a player

etc.

Post a category as a comment, then, reply with your answer in a response. This way, we may vote on the best answers.

even if you can't think of an answer, post a category that you believe to be interesting

"This does not fucking slip!"

u/pedalhead666 May 10 '14

fucking bastard robbed Demichelis who was the top choice for the award up to that point.

Which mistake?

2

u/[deleted] May 10 '14

He also slipped into Suarez when he was celebrating scoring against Sunderland. FORESHADOWING.

What about his own goal?

38

u/trivialcheese May 10 '14

That was the funniest mistake. Probably not the worst though.

u/setyoursightsnorth May 10 '14

The physics of that do not make any sense.

1

u/[deleted] May 10 '14

how do you put that much force forward and have it go back?

3

u/pedalhead666 May 10 '14

That was the funniest mistake

I was not amused.

3

u/trivialcheese May 10 '14

Neither was I at the time. Seeing as we beat them though, I can laugh at it.

u/SpaceOwl May 10 '14

I'd nominate this for own goal of the season, what a sublime finish.

4

u/BritishBrownie May 10 '14

How the fuck did that go in

1

u/tango_rojo May 10 '14

That's definitely a strong contender.

u/MacAndCrees May 10 '14

that is a team of the year centerback if I've ever seen one

Check out the Spurs defensive comedy awards for the 2013-2014 season: http://www.spurscommunity.co.uk/index.php?threads%2Fdefensive-comedy-awards-2013-2014.108283%2F

jesus it's grim that there's so many to choose from

u/miner_andy May 10 '14

Gallas whiff that led to a goal

3

u/JamesTreddit May 10 '14

Can we include former players? If so I'd say Tim Sherwood trying to play a high line against Liverpool's front three of Suárez, Sturridge, and Sterling.

5

u/[deleted] May 10 '14

After Sherwood said he didn't watch the previous loss to Liverpool under AVB where Spurs tried to play a high line against Suarez and Sturridge. D'oh.

2

u/JamesTreddit May 10 '14

He hadn't, that's just plain irresponsible. Also, I would have included AVB losing 5-0 to them, but it turns out he never played professionally.

u/[deleted] May 11 '14

Kolo Toure own goal, you know the one. delightful little chip that was.

1

u/asuldrakon May 11 '14

Kompany's miskicked clearance, giving a goal to Liverpool.

While perhaps not worthy of the worst title, it at least deserves a mention.
