This is usually said by Andy Townsend... "he's played it through the gully."

A gully being a deep channel, formed by water. Didn't realise this match was being played in the fucking Lake District, Andy.

Another one of Townsend's is: "He put a nice shape on the ball".

And what shape was that? Square? Oblong? Oval?

And another one: "The ball was just a bit too big for him". No it was simply too fucking high!

"They've gone with the flat back 4"

"Their defenders were too square"

None of them actually know what they mean when they say this. But a goal was scored, and the defending looked dodgy. So the defenders must have been "too square"
