Southport Red Posted May 23, 2019 Report Share Posted May 23, 2019 Right, not much actual stuff to talk about so let’s have some fun. Invent your own football saying cliche and let’s see if we can get a winner mentioned by some or other TV pundit. Can relate to anything in the game (tactics, formations, passages of play etc). When we get a winner we can start tweeting it etc and see how long until we get it adopted on TV as though it is an actual thing. I suggest we post the phrase then a definition, e.g. “Passive Pressing”. That stage in the game when your midfielders are too knackered to challenge for the ball.

pongo88 Posted May 23, 2019 Report Share Posted May 23, 2019 “That’s a folderol” A nonsensical appeal for a penalty. “That’s a Parson Street” Someone who starts falling outside of the penalty area, but continues falling into the area with the aim of claiming a penalty.
