WhistleHappy Posted March 16, 2019 Report Share Posted March 16, 2019 I've just mentioned one... 'marquee signing' in another thread…. that's one that really grates on me. Football is littered with cliché's nowadays, thanks, not least, to tv commentators and pundits.... Some of these must bug you too, which oft heard football related words, clichés and descriptions get up your nose? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leveller Posted March 16, 2019 Report Share Posted March 16, 2019 Any use of “snuck in” instead of sneaked. On the team, instead of in the team. On the weekend instead of at the weekend. Americanisms, basically! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
downendcity Posted March 16, 2019 Report Share Posted March 16, 2019 There was contact so he's entitled to go down. Game of two halves - in our case, a season of two halves. He's given the referee a decision to make. Technology will help referees. You're missing the point! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Major Isewater Posted March 16, 2019 Report Share Posted March 16, 2019 Hé was entitled to go down there. You’re either taken out by à foul or you ride the damn thing and get on with it like a man ( or a woman ! ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bristol Rob Posted March 16, 2019 Report Share Posted March 16, 2019 Visiting fans who post on forums of other clubs who feel the need to add 'in peace' to their opening salvo. At no point did I think we would ever get something like, 'Villa fan in devious attempt to commit genocide' - so, take your 'in peace' message and shove it up your hoop, make your point and then await the reply.
