Hated Footy Phrases...

Unbelievable Jeff.

The favourite of Tyldesley when a team are about to make a substitution, "(insert players name) is imminent". Bloody hate that. Every single substitution, same phrase.

 

[yeah whatever !!]

It's come to irk me, that in the last 3/ 4 months, a turn of phrase squawked by 'Stevie G' has been used over and over again by the sporting media parrots.

It involves somebody "going again", at some point in the conversation. I fooking hate it! It reminds me of the sh*t coined phrase of "top top" when Redknapp used it, trying to describe something as 'great'.

I hate these fooking lame soundbites, that commentators repeat to make themselves sound 'relevant'. That cnut Alan Smith has just said it and it was the straw that broke the camel's back for me!


Stop using thicko football speak, you fooking tw@s!!!

Er...."footy"

''Man utd in contentious win''... In other words it's rag loving press speak for ''man utd fluke/cheat/bully their way to yet another undeserved 3 points''

(Fortunately it's a phrase I seem to be hearing less and less of these days, ever since GPC jacked it in).

 

[Big Swifty]

My pet hate is "...he'll be disappointed with that" when some clown of a player makes a horrible hash of a sitter, a save, or whatever. What they mean is "..that was bloody awful, he should be ashamed of himself".

Another is "...the lad made a meal of that..." when someone is clattered. Funnily enough, it's always a player from a foreign side (club or national) who "makes a meal of it", because no English/British players ever feign being fouled, do they? When a Brit is brought down, the commentator (eg Tyldesley) says "that was cynical". No Brits are "cynical", they are "honest" or "uncompromising".

Watch one of the Euro games tonight and I guarantee those will be spouted.

"He's on the turn". What, like sour milk?

 

[Tricky_Trev]

"Second season syndrome"

 

[billfromthehill]

The flanks for me and the latest one doing the rounds is PRESSING
We used to call it attacking.

 

[Tricky_Trev]

"He needs to get chalk on his boots" or "He needs to hug the touchline"

 

[Tricky_Trev]

"They need to stop the rot"
