New football terminology is stupid

[manclad]

I agree, it is all gibberish. I never heard any of those terms when I was young, so maybe it's a generation thing.
Like a lot of people who are getting on a bit I don't identify with most people of a certain age group, teens, late teens etc.
Garbage like Celebrity Big Brother comes on and I've never heard of most of the so-called 'stars.'

FOC Alert !!!
Only kidding pal, I'm a fellow FOC and agree with every word of your post.

Agree. We should all go back to talking like that Shakespeare fucker. Evolving language only confuses.

Although I have to admit whenever I hear a rugby league coach taking about the ‘D’ I’m incapable of not muttering ‘fuck off, you’re from Wigan not Miami’ under my breath.

In before the cool kids call you a dinosaur.

You only have to look at the chin stroking dickheads who do the likes of the European goals shows on TNT to see where to where most of the bullshit came from, all of them and I include Richardson in this are full on pseudo–intellectuals. If not them have a look at the likes of Ronay, Liew and Gheerbrant they’re all cut from the same cloth and think they have reinvented the game.

A No10
A 8
The 6 role
Double pivot
Quarterback
Inverted whatever


I find them all annoying

what is a number ten or eight?

in the traditional 1-11 shirts either were used for secondary strikers or attacking midfielder theycare not a positon or even a set number anymore.
Same goes for 6, Steve Redmond wore 6 ffs

Double pivot and quarter back can just fuck off, it's 2 x DMs and a Playmaker.

Finally inverted, you mean players cut inside from the flanks, players alway have.

Pundits are twats and talk shite


I have used the term double pivot myself and feel thoroughly ashamed of myself ;-)

Add transitions to that list

 

[bondsman]

Double pivot, expected goals ffs

Possession stats also do my head in, goals in the back of the net is all that matters.

XG is priceless.

 

[horlock_was_super]

Minute one.
Is it so fucking hard to say the first minute!

 

[TinFoilHat]

Americanised bullshit. That can easily be made up to sound like you're a football nerd.

"Harry Maguire has the highest *FUA of the PL"

*Fuck Up Average

 

[ali benarbia's studs]

[jimharri]

XG is priceless utter nonsense
