Hated Footy Phrases...

[jimbopm]

"He gives the keeper the eyes"

What the hell?

 

[stonerblue]

"There or thereabouts"

 

[roypaulknewmyfather]

Two that I can't stand:-
"caught his trailing leg" and

They represent some bloody trick as far as I can see.

I also hate when people say "look how close together they are... you could put a blanket over them"

 

[Tricky_Trev]

[Dave Ewing's Back 'eader]

Just needed a little more purchase on it.

What the fuck are you talking about.

What they mean is that he should have got a bit more 'thrutch' on it!

Not just football, anyone, anywhere who uses the same word in succession - top top, really really, massive massive! Jeez!
