Do not say you have the cat in the sack when you do not have the cat in the sack." Right then! "Cat in the sack" is a commom Italian saying, which equals "Don't count your chickens!" You say the latter in Italian and you'd get some strange looks!!! Lost in translation is something we should be very familiar with! By the way, having said that, what was the excuse for Farmer's "Eye of the tiger" I wonder! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

colinmaroon Posted November 11, 2011 Share Posted November 11, 2011 On the subject of talking skubala - Ray Houghton is unbearable! I think he belongs to the Chris "Why say one word when ten will do" Waddle school of commentating! Little cracker in the first half when, commentating on the slow motion replay of a save he said, "He put it to the left, the keeper's right hand"; and what actually happened was "He put it to the right, to the keeper's left hand!" "Good save!" would've done! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Somebody else has mentioned that it is an Italian equivalent of "Don't count your chickens" but it shouldn't take anyone too long to work out even literally that the guy is just warning that the " Cat's in the bag" would be a dangerous mindset - as all the Hibees know "It's not over till the fat striker scores" etc etc A bit harsh trying to take the pish out of an elderly non native english speaking guy for that - How's your Italian ?
