AppyDAZE Posted May 16 Report Share Posted May 16 (edited) Not terminology, but something that really gets on my tits. In interviews, players using (overusing) "to be fair" eg to be fair, I think the ref's had a stinker. Uh? STOP it! Stop being a ******* sheep and think of your own words just for once.

NP76 Posted May 16 Report Share Posted May 16 3 hours ago, pongo88 said: Back to square one is an old footy phrase you don’t hear very much these days. The phrase originates from the days when football was listened to a lot on the radio. To help the listener picture the scene, the pitch was divided up into a grid of imaginary squares, square one being around the goalmouth. Thus, whenever the ball went out of play for a goal kick, or someone made a boring pass-back (of the type no longer allowed), the commentator would groan: "Back to square one". Not a lot of people know that It was first used for the 1927 Fa Cup final Cardiff City v Arsenal .The Radio Times printed a grid with numbers 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its used in football for a pull back from the touchline, in front the keeper and behind the defenders. Heard it on the radio this week.

Major Isewater Posted May 17 Report Share Posted May 17 When a manager gets sacked the club would ‘ like to thank X for all his hard work and wish him well for the future.

Bazooka Joe Posted May 17 Report Share Posted May 17 Glad that football is getting rid of the racists However, there now seems to be a lot of “assists” in modern football. Are “Assists” people who discriminate against and abuse arseholes like the Blue Few? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swede Posted May 17 Report Share Posted May 17 A CAM. Mind you, I use football (losely) terminology on a daily occasion in work. When I say to supplier's that I'm in the "bristol rovers" & need help, uncannily they know exactly what I mean. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redland Posted May 17 Report Share Posted May 17 (edited) Onion bag instead of net. Pull the trigger instead of shoot. Also some commentators do not talk about a player controlling the ball. Instead he ‘brings it under his spell”! Edited May 17 by Redland Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robbored Posted May 17 Report Share Posted May 17 16 hours ago, Laner said: 'Winning a penalty' and all that crap about having the 'right to go over' if there's the slightest of touches. Would have been laughed at a few decades ago. Not so sure about that - I’m sure many of my generation remember Franny Lee, Rodney Marsh and Mick Jones who would all go down ‘at the slightest touch’ in the box. Fans just accepted it. Diving is not a new phenomenon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
