Hugh Johns , HTV on a Sunday afternoon, used to always say, “that a shot was adjacent” , still does my tits in now.
The game being referred to as a product
Sign of my age I'm sure, but modern day phrases that make it sound like things that have been around for ages are new concepts do my head in - "between the lines", "compact" and "low block" when referring to defending being examples.
"offensive' instead of attacking. An awful Americanism. 'Offensive' means something completely different !!!
The press.
Bad day at the office.
Get it over the line (transfers or contracts).
Six-pointer.
They're (insert players name) are 'back on the grass'.
It's fuucking called training you fannies.
I'll translate (as if you needed me to) Between the lines- Passing the ball forward.Originally Posted by the other bob wilson
Low Block-Defending a lead and holding on for dear life.
Compact-Three midfielders within touching distance of the central defenders.
All bollocks really........
No two for me is back on the grass as has been mentioned .
Transition
Travel
Look after the ball
Professional foul: an act that any old clogger playing Sunday football can commit.
Technical area: nothing technical about it
Unplayable: in normal English it means unable to be played rather than be played against efficiently.
Could have scored a hat-trick.
Should have scored at least x goals in the 1st half
Not so much a phrase, but it winds me up when Gary Neville does another one of his over-dramatic groans when a defender/goalie makes a mistake.
‘The City are 7 down’
Going through the protocols along with this one and back on the grass
It always seemed like David Brent was talking when Morison was giving an update at a press conference
Most of this is all bollocks, most footballers don’t have the ability to think to deeply about instructions
Usually the simple things like if you got it keep it and if you lose it get it back would suffice for a team talk
and the old favourite that probably a decent manager would have said to Ng after starting him on Tuesday
“Murphy is a tricky player, let him know you’re there”
I'm getting nostalgic for 'over the moon' and 'sick as a parrot'!
Anyone else old enough to remember when players didn’t “bring the ball under their spell”, they controlled it?
The debate of who’s ‘world class’. It’s a meaningless phrase - he’s played in a World Cup, is that world class? Meaningless
Nice one, Splotty.
StT.

Won a penalty / foul.
Simulation.
All different ways of saying cheating.

"Seriously adjacent"
In the building
He does what it says on the tin 😡😡😡
When a player is returning from injury
He’s back on the grass 😡😡😡
