Star Lizard Posted January 21 Posted January 21 Massive/big/die hard (insert old firm team here) fan. See also: ”would crawl over broken glass to get to Ibrox/Celtic”
indianajones Posted January 21 Posted January 21 Just about. People that say Heartsys instead of Hearts'.
Serge Pizzorno Posted January 21 Posted January 21 'Great feet for a big guy' 'Cultured left/right foot' 'The famous *insert stadium*' 'In and around' 'Almost hit it too well'
The Real Maroonblood Posted January 21 Posted January 21 He’s a big fan. He’s a huge fan. He’s a massive fan.
HamishMcGonagall Posted January 21 Posted January 21 Had him in his back pocket/needs to check if so and so is still in his back pocket and suchlike
D4lien Posted January 21 Posted January 21 "the goalkeeper just about got there" After a goalie did get there, and saved it! There was no "just about" about it!

J.J Posted January 21 Posted January 21 Any time a player is referenced as plural: e.g. “The Scott McTominay’s, the Andy Robertson’s, the John McGinn’s of this world”. Really, really irks me and almost all pundits do it. Just say Scott McTominay, or if you want to make a comparison to a ‘type’ of player, simply say, “a player like Scott McTominay”. Granted there is only one! ps Add “of this world” as well. As far as we are aware this is the only world that plays football.
Byyy The Light Posted January 21 Posted January 21 Another +1 for "just about" I'll add "rolls royce of a player" and "presser"
gerryjambo41 Posted January 21 Posted January 21 Just about really annoys me and there’s one English twat commentator that talks about a “corner ball!” I’d love to be able to reach inside the TV and wring his neck 😂
Jamboref51 Posted January 21 Posted January 21 if you had to choose one of us to win, it would be us eh.... Usually from a Rangers fan. Grinds ma gears everytime
Haken Posted January 21 Posted January 21 Unplayable. It literally means not able to be played and yet is used to suggest the opposite. Legs - as in 'we need to get some legs in that area of the pitch'.

The Real Maroonblood Posted January 21 Posted January 21 He’s hit the woodwork. It’s not ******* wood.

Dsjambo Posted January 21 Posted January 21 ‘This moment in time’ used by a few of the experts but particularly by resident slaver, super Ally McCoist
JamboJoker98 Posted January 21 Posted January 21 "talented player with little output but an ok touch Just oozes class" "such and such jobsworth signing could do a job" . Usually are the type of player that fans groan about being on the team sheet after signing and seeing them play
davieholt Posted January 21 Posted January 21 ‘Within’ a point of the top of the league when he means exactly a point below the league leader. where does this use of ‘within’ come from?

Was going to post this and I am glad that I am not the only one who cant stand the use of "just about" in football.
RudiSkacelsLeftPeg Posted January 21 Posted January 21 When the commentator says: ”It’s a great ball but just nobody there to get on the end of it” **** aff 😂

Also favourite lef/right foot. Does this imply the player has other non-favourite lef/right foot?
jamboinglasgow Posted January 21 Posted January 21 "under the lights" Seems to be something commentator or pundit says about a game not player during the day "Tynecastle, under the lights."
Gorgiewave Posted January 21 Posted January 21 The use of present conditional regardless of when an incident happened or might happen. "If X plays, Y wins," describing a match yesterday. Why not the traditional and venerated "if X had played, Y would have won"?
