One Team In Keynsham Posted June 2, 2017 Report Share Posted June 2, 2017 Not gone through the whole thread so apologies if duplicated. "The Liverpools, the Arsenals, the Chelseas": last time I checked, there was only one of each. Commentators describing a situation where a team has lost a tie that has gone to penalties. The tie was drawn, kicks from the penalty mark is simply the method to determine which team advances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't matter one bit whether you've had a season ticket for a long time or not. If the point you you're making is a valid one, then that's all that matters. Your reasoning doesn't carry any more weight if you've been a fan for 1, 10 or 100 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WTFiGO!?! Posted June 3, 2017 Report Share Posted June 3, 2017 Has anyone brought up: "to be fair"? An expression that surely was born in football and seems to have infiltrated everything else, from teenage peer groups to news broadcasters. Utterly ridiculous; like an acceptance of supposed injustice an in deed, before the uttered words: "to be fair". I am the voice of justice and virtue !!

WTFiGO!?! Posted June 3, 2017 Report Share Posted June 3, 2017 I hold my hands up to the 'transition' (another sickly word), in spending my afternoon in a cafe, not a Pub. God forgive me for I have sinned. Another linguistic fashion I've noticed is in the blasé use of the the word 'pivotal'. There was an albeit sad but educated language expert, forecasting at the tail end of 2016 words we can expect to emerge in the lexicon during 2017. Also, why is the word 'super' now being used instead of the word 'very'? For example: "It has been super warm, lately". What I think irritates me about it is that the people using the 'in' language somehow think that they're 'cool'. 'Trendy': definitely. 'Conformists': definitely. 'Cool' surely concerns being secure in ourselves, our own uniqueness and identity. Not desperately trying to be, or speak, like everyone else.

CotswoldRed Posted June 6, 2017 Report Share Posted June 6, 2017 The phrase (or rather word) they should be using is cheat/cheating. Unfortunately, footballers and pundits struggle to use it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
