Most annoying football cliche?

[Mad Eyed Screamer]

‘Play for the shirt/badge.’

Nobody cares about the badge or the shirt.

Especially if it has a racist ship on it

You shouldn't concede goals at set pieces. Why not, it is a chance for the opposition to hit the ball into your box at pace with several players attacking it. The fact that all corners/free kicks regardless of the taker are treated the same is mental, and a real Sunday league football thing. KDB, Junihino, Pirlo getting a free kick is not the same as Triggs from the dog an duck hoofing into the box.

Specialist midfielder, usually the holding role. This is basically a let off for a lot of average players who aren't well rounded to just sit in front of the back four and shirk offensive responsibility. I'm not including the likes of makaele btw, but some players (Jordan Henderson) who have are lucky this thinking exist.

Not a cliche but there's some annoying southern c*nt doing the punditry on Talksport now who keeps starting his sentences with "look".

Also can't stand when people also start sentences with "listen".

What you’re saying is that they should stop before they look and listen.

“Cultured left foot”
What ? Does it admire the art of the Renaissance movement, speak five languages and know the entire works of Shakespeare by memory ?

Agreed. They never say cultured right foot.

Commentary wise...."He could not have struck/hit that any better", when a shot goes wide. Drives me nuts.

The commentator the other day said Mahrez scored with his " favourite left foot".
As if he had more than one.

ITV/BBC's coverage of the FA Cup especially if there is a sniff of a Giant Killing

 

[Kinkladze's crazy skills]

"What a brave display/performance"

Translation in football or boxing:

These are getting battered, or clearly second best.

It's so patronising the commentator may as well be saying, "Aww bless them".

Yeah, I *always* say out loud “yes, he bloody could have!”

The worst on Talk Sport is when someone asks a question and the reply begins with "absolutely....."
