Common football phrases

[The Bloop]

Is that statement a question?

Language is always changing, and I guess that can also include the use of punctuation marks.

A player 'winning a penalty' is an awful phrase and a terrible reflection of the modern game.
Not fussed on the phrase 'modern game' either.

worst spelling this forum has ever seen

"It's a marquee signing" - - what the feck did they sign him in a tent???

"The boy.... "did good" "had a mare' etc.............. The boy, a 26 yr old centre back FFS

"If he's passed to x... the balls in the back of the net" Bollox

"did good" (tennis "I was playing solid"). Please don't.

We don't hear "educated left foot" these days. Is it because of levelling out? Or not receiving any education?

He’s a two footed player. Maybe why Long John Silver never made it.

Watching Newcastle PSG and the annoying Fletch keeps saying ‘celebrating like they’ve scored another goal’

Don’t know what it was all about last night but the commentators described NG’s free kick as ‘filthy’, repeated it a few times as well I thought it was as clean as a whistle.

Come on Splotty, get with the times dude.
Opposites just as Bad is Good.

I even heard "wicked" spouted on the EFL show.
The commentator must've been your age LOL

I have to admit though, it does sound strange listening to a commentator talking street.

Imagine Kenneth Wolstenholme something like "they think it's all over, it is now... it's Hurst... rotten to the core, absolutely filthy"

False 9
Worldy
Lino
Champions League

Safe Bra……………………..when I first heard that I thought it was an item of women’s clothing that kept the tits in order.

Three that I despise:

Get it over the line - these words seem to be used in connection with every single transfer deal these days. Where did this nonsense come from?

In the building - another phrase that seems to have popped up out of nowhere in recent years. Very annoying.

The gaffer - olde worlde, working class description of the boss that seems totally inappropriate for modern-day professional football managers (except maybe Neil Warnock, but he’s a dinosaur anyway).

One that I love:

Purple patch - is this used in any other sport or area of life other than football?

Any more suggestions?

I hates it when it gets to 1-1 and the commentator says they’re ‘back in the game’

They were in the game at 0-1 and they’re bloomin level at 1-1
