daveyhmfc Posted November 5, 2017 Share Posted November 5, 2017 Just heard someone on the radio say, Mourinho might "park the bus" today. It really gets on my nerves, such sayings. I am sure that there many fellow jambos who find such modern day sayings really annoying. Why not say, they will be really defensive today? Room 101 for people who utter such sayings.

been here before Posted November 5, 2017 Share Posted November 5, 2017 (edited) "to kick on" "presser" "footy" "false 9" or some other bullshit position such as "centre/defensive mid" Is it a "wordly" or something? Not quite football per se but usually centered on it... an "acca". Theres **** loads frankly.

The White Cockade Posted November 5, 2017 Share Posted November 5, 2017 worst is that Davie Provan guy scores a twenty yarder and Provan says "he's capable of that" really? you've just watched him do it so yes he is capable of it!

Shooter McGavin Posted November 5, 2017 Share Posted November 5, 2017 (edited) Hate it when people say stuff like "He plays the number 9 role to perfection". Another thing that bugs me is I've got mates (believe it or not), who will say that a player is unbelievable, seconds after they have scored a raker or a couple of goals. Cheers for that, you've made yourself look very insightful! Edited November 5, 2017 by Shooter McGavin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michael_bolton Posted November 5, 2017 Share Posted November 5, 2017 I've heard more and more people in the last 4 or 5 years using the phrase 'foot race' to describe two players chasing the ball. Horrific. Also dreadful is anyone who talks about a footballing 'philosophy', Awful self-important language that is almost always the mark of a total bell-end. I don't mind the new tactical phrases, like false nines. That's just the evolution of the game. All the tactical terms that we traditionally use have been new at some point. The idea of a false nine is simply a response to the tactical changes in the modern game, as is the concept of a holding midfielder etc. I don't mind those phrases as they just reflect the game. Footrace and philosophy though? Dreadful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CostaJambo Posted November 5, 2017 Share Posted November 5, 2017 Don't like "greasy ball" or "greasy surface" when simply wet. Jimmy Sandison is a big culprit on HW and also pronounces it "greazy" which rips my knitting. I should say Jimmy is brilliant on HW apart from this.
