Back/Roof of net?


Maltshoveller

Recommended Posts

After a few beers the other night, a mate said how much

he hated the sayings Hit the back of the net or Hit the roof of the net

He thinks if you have hit ether you have missed the goal!!!

He thinks it should be the ceiling of the goal As a ceiling is inside and a roof is outside

As for the back of the net he thinks thats around the posts behind the goal 

Any thoughts (Apart from drink less)

Don’t get him started on jumpers for goalposts then because you will be in a world of trouble

It's better than the RB mush who says ".......it goes into the goal", so underwhelming, I hate it (especially against us ) .

He's right. 

Another one I don't like is when a freekick is hit into the top corner and it's location is described as 'postage stamp'... even in the top left corner, where postage stamps don't go.

I like the sort of shots that hit the back of the net but didn't count

 

 

“Only us!” ? 

I was sat behind the goal and saw it go in and bounce back out again, I thought it had been disallowed because of a foul or something. That’s why I didn’t riot, Mr Warnock!

Was also behind the goal. Laughing my head off.

Expanding the theme of this thread; why do so many local and national radio commentators inform us "City are plying from left to right".

It would be far more informative if they announced which end was being attacked by which team; "Villa are kicking towards the Hot End" etc.

Infuriates me. 

What questions? Trivia?!

"Okay Slabhead, that was a good tackle but can you name the longest river on the planet?"

Love it. Spat my drink out.

If I made you chuckle Tone my day is complete ?

Next time you hear that from a pundit (pretty much every match) you'll get the same mental picture as me!

This annoys me every time I hear it. Unless you know where the commentary box is, it's meaningless.
