But just listen to Americans, and you will really have your tights ripped!!! great yardage (who compiles stats on measuring how far they have travelled with the ball at their feet) and then go to all that bother to just call it yardage??? The penalty box is not the shooting zone I think you mean grammar. Referring to a manager as a gaffer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redjambo Posted November 11, 2017 Share Posted November 11, 2017 It's terrible, simply terrible, that football commentators have descended to the level of using metaphors to describe the action. How dare they! We should keep the language as simple and literal as possible, avoiding, as Orwell described it "dying metaphors, pretentious diction, and high-flown rhetoric, which produce the meaningless words of doublespeak, the product of unclear reasoning." Down with figurative descriptions! Away with metaphors! To the gallows with non-literal speech! I'm with you all the way guys. It's such a shame that there wasn't a movement with these opinions around the time that Shakespeare was writing his infernal plays - then maybe I would be able to understand them!

Andrew Gilbert Wauchope Posted November 12, 2017 Share Posted November 12, 2017 (edited) I was at Hallam FC v Dronfield Town yesterday (Hallam's my local non-league side). Sitting right behind the dugouts, you hear everything said. The Hallam coach hardly said a word during the game but the Dronfield coach never shut up. He was constantly shouting things like "Danny, get in the hole". But an interesting saying I'd not heard before was Dronfield players shouting at others "Body language, body language" at various times, for no obvious reasons. Anyone hazard a guess at what this was for? It was all through the match, which Dronfield won 4-1 (and were 3-0 up within 20 minutes).

Hearts_fan Posted November 29, 2017 Share Posted November 29, 2017 (edited) Someone on Sportsound last night used a word incorrectly which I hear all the time in football. It was along the lines of "He's installed confidence in his players." The correct word is "instilled". You installed a PA system. You install software in your computer. You install a new Manager. You instilled confidence among your players. You instil doubt in the minds of your players. You instil a feel-good factor at your office. My understanding of the words: Physical or tangible objects are installed. Beliefs or feelings are instilled.

Portable Badger Posted November 29, 2017 Share Posted November 29, 2017 'Defeat' it would seem has been totally removed from the lexicon. Nobody uses it on TV or in the papers. It's always a 3-0 loss and not the old fashioned 3-0 defeat. It really nibbles my tits !! .......And the increasing use of '.... are on the offensive'......... 'he's an offensive player'. No No No. The word you're looking for is Attack/ing. ........And as for those Plums that think it's trendy to use f#cking 'gotten' !!!! They even used it on the Hearts' website in their match report. Bellend !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
