Maltshoveller Posted July 16, 2021 Report Share Posted July 16, 2021 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) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SBB Posted July 16, 2021 Report Share Posted July 16, 2021 I thought it was ‘into the roof of the net’ rather than hit the roof? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TBW Posted July 17, 2021 Report Share Posted July 17, 2021 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.

22A Posted July 17, 2021 Report Share Posted July 17, 2021 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
