New football terminology is stupid

[Stephen230]

I think we’ve found the most useless modern stat.

I think that one might be an April Fool’s joke.

I thought a low block was the player who lies down behind the wall for a free kick!

You could well be right, but it’s plausible!

In my day it went a little something like this……

1. Goalie
2. Right back
3. Left back
4. Center half
5. Center half
6. Midfielder
7. Right winger
8. Midfielder
9. Striker
10. Striker
11. Left winger

12. Sub

Piss easy and none of this fucking bullshit we have to listen to or read nowadays. The games fucking gone.

Sub?
You modernist…

Player of the Match

the half turn

Now that does really piss me off!!!

It is Man of the Match.

Womens football - Woman of the match or even Girl of the Game (note not on).

Why change Man of the match to pander to non related circumstances.

"Wonderkid"...After 1 game
"The Next... Messi, Ronaldo and now the next Mbappe
"Overtime"... Used to be injury time and then became additional time.

Camel god.

A number 10 is an Inside Left
A number 8 is an Inside Right

I once asked on here what the difference is nowadays.

I didn’t receive a convincing answer.

Both numbers could be midfielders or second strikers depending on the managers tactics or asigned shirts to players.

as 1-11 no longer exists the positions have no set numbers, which is why the modern term pundits use "a No10" is a stupid concept

'Between the lines'. Is this the same as splitting the defence or is it something to do with WW1.

Neil Pearson, Tom Georgeson and Siobhan Redmod!
