Bobfish Posted March 17, 2019 Report Share Posted March 17, 2019 “Busy bees.” Important as they are to all ecology, watch one fly into a window for twenty minutes and realise how it relates to a football player: “Runs a lot, but is a clueless fu*kwit.” “Got our identity back” – if you need to identify yourself, it’s written on your god-damn shirt or “We have been sh*t lately, but today we played with something that resembled a pre-planned tactic.” And my biggest hate: “Small margins” a margin is that blank border on the edge of a page, for margin to mean anything it has to state its context: Margin for error etc. Another gem from commentators: "If he would have put it between the posts, it would have gone in." (really) And American football terms: Quarterback role. Play-maker. And a term used by someone on here: "Brexit football" If you think sovereignty is unimportant, well that's up to you, but to use it to describe what you feel is brainless football is mere projection of a lack of comprehension of the subject matter.

BookEnd Posted March 18, 2019 Report Share Posted March 18, 2019 I have always found the term "Throwing the kitchen sink" funny When a losing team generally by one goal will press very high and go all out attack to attempt to salvage a point. "80 minutes on the clock Martin, Watford may have to think about throwing the kitchen sink at Bournemouth here if they are to steal a point" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WhistleHappy Posted March 18, 2019 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2019 Not a cliché or at all modern …. One word that's ancient but probably 'newish' to most of us came to our attention during the The Gate redevelopment... Heard a lot in the footballing world in recent years due to all the new stadium builds. It doesn't particularly bother me but apparently makes one Otiber feel sick to her stomach … (don't look @Dollymarie) . I give you - Vomitory!

Nongazeuse Posted March 18, 2019 Report Share Posted March 18, 2019 Fulham are 8 points from "safety" - meaning 8 points from the teams currently above the current relegation group. "Safety" means the total number of points when a club is statistically safe from relegation. You wouldn't say Man City are now 2 points from Winning the league when they are two points from Leading the league . This seems to have crept into use over the last couple of years on Sky / BBC and is really irritating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beg to differ. Most refs don't apply the rules properly. Where in the rules does it say you can surround the referee after every decision, pretend to be injured, throw yourself to the floor, try to get opponents carded? I could go on. They are puppets of men in suits who have no interest in honest sport. So the refs can be quite fairly accused of running any given match outside of the rules.

BTRFTG Posted March 23, 2019 Report Share Posted March 23, 2019 Tyldesley's: " A welcome return to Glen Hoddle....." Which rapidly led to Hoddle spouting within an 8 minute spell: "Sancho's too wide and needs to tuck in..." ( Goal ) "Sancho stayed wide which allowed Kane to find him..."

BTRFTG Posted March 23, 2019 Report Share Posted March 23, 2019 "Goals" when used to describe the singluar structure at the end of the pitch protected by the Keeper, as in : "..a great shot at goals...keeper did well to protect his goals..." Horrible Scottishism again much loved by Hoddle. We're it 'the Goals' we'd have Goalskeepers and Goalsmouths. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
