Pretty sure Holocaust was a word before the 40s. did he specifically refer to The Holocaust?

Growing up in the 80s i thought it meant total annihilation. Didn't know the nuclear holocaust i was scared shitless of was only a danger if you were Jewish

Think Joe Royle once called a Horlock sending off a holocaust of a decision I seem to recall.

It was Jamie Pollock I believe.against Notts County. Got sent off for calling a decision "a holocaust of a decision"

Joey Barton is an idiot, of that there is no doubt. But I suspect that, however ill-advised his comment was, it was ignorance and stupidity that led him to use the word "holocaust". The BBC chose to capitalise it, which, of course, gives it a definitive meaning, one which I doubt he meant.

The distinction was drawn that he said "a holocaust" not "the holocaust" for the city game, but it was 20 odd years ago.

It is the same in this case, a player having a holocaust, he is trying to be clever but it doesn't really make sense, he just meant a disaster.

I believe that is true, a holocaust is a disaster wiping out everything. As apposed to The Holocaust.
