EVERYBODY HAS something that drives them up the walls, makes their blood boil and fills them with pure and utter ire. It'll come as no surprise to you that 'Inside Right' has several.

There's plenty of things in all walks of life that are blindingly obviously wrong, like Barrack Obama winning the Nobel Peace Prize, banks increasing interest rates after contributing hugely to bringing the country to it's knees, and of course the All-Ireland Talent Show, but since yours truly deals with the world of sport in this weekly offering we'll concentrate on things that get the gander up solely in that sphere.

So here's 'Inside Right's' top ten list of the most infuriating things of a sporting nature.

10. People who manically shout for their horse in a bookies when it's 20 lengths clear after jumping the last and is obviously going to win the race, just to show how clever they are that they backed the winner. You know the type. 'Go on Ruby, go on ya good thing,' with the winning docket being waved hysterically for all to see.

9. Sticking to the punting theme, gombeens who continually criticise jockeys when their horse loses when it's blatantly clear that it just wasn't good enough. These same guys would probably be afraid to sit on a horse never mind jumping a five foot fence at 30 miles an hour on board the beast.

8. Supporters who refer to English Premier League teams as 'us' and 'we' when they're sitting on their barstool looking at a big screen. It's only 'us' and 'we' if you're from Liverpool or Manchester or whatever city the team you support hails from. Also, a monthly or even fortnightly visit to Old Trafford doesn't make you a Mancunian.

7. GAA fans that spend the entire 70 minutes bleating on about how bad the referee is. Every decision is wrong and for some reason only known to the ref-bashing sod the man in the middle is always accused of being biased towards the opposition.

Worst of all this guy also seems to be sitting behind you or in your general vicinity when you're trying to enjoy the action.

6. The fact that soccer stars get paid ludicrous amounts of money for training a few hours a day, followed by a couple of matches a week when most us would gladly do it for the same mediocre wage we're currently earning. It wouldn't be so bad if half of them didn't strut around acting like complete and utter twats, filling the scandal-thirsty tabloids with their 'exploits'.

5. Soccer phone-in shows where people who like the sound of their own voices blather on about how Rafa should resign, or Arsene should sign a striker or some other blatantly obvious tripe. Yawn - time to switch channels.

4. Lunsters. Yes our old friends who shout for lads from Cork and Limerick and the like against our own lion-hearted Leinster heroes. When they're not going head to head it's grudgingly acceptable to cheer on our provincial rivals if you so wish, but to do so when they're in opposition is unforgivable.

3. Fair weather fans. We all know one or two. They'll grumble and moan about how dreadful their county teams are and use it as an excuse not to travel a few miles down the road to the county ground.

However, the minute the team reaches a quarter or semi-final the jersey and flags will be dusted down and some poor gobshite who has been standing in the wind and rain for the less glamourous ties will be left without a ticket.

2. Nameless, gutless contributors who go onto online forums and criticise managers, players and whoever else they can think of in the comfort of knowing they'll remain blissfully anonymous behind some cleverly thought out pseudonym.

If you're going to have a go, why not divulge your real name? Or better still, include a photograph of your big, ugly mug like yours truly.

1. People who compile stupid lists about things that annoy them.
