escobri Posted January 21 Posted January 21 "Heartz" "Hibs win again" "Provincial clubs" especially when said on the BBC as they don't understand the term .
Bridge of Djoum Posted January 21 Posted January 21 The red-top, lazy language. ''Swooped'' ''Hoops'' ''Sources'' ''Monitoring'' ''Preparing a bid'' ''Former OF hero''... meaning any **** that pulled on the shirt a minimum of one time Also, saw this belter today from the DR... ''Lewis Ferguson haunted by unwanted Celtic Record as Rangers daft family avoid awkward trip to Bologna'' A ****** rag like no other.
Bridge of Djoum Posted January 21 Posted January 21 Also, living in the States I have to put up with... ''PK'' ''Kick Save'' ''Uniform'' ''Cleats'' ''Roster'' ''Locker Room''
Bungalow Bill Posted January 21 Posted January 21 6 hours ago, J.J said: 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. 2 hours ago, Gordon Ramsay said: Low block. 1 hour ago, coatbridgejambo said: Low block,false 9. All of these for me, along with calling positions after shirt numbers: ‘Playing as a 6’, ‘playing the 10 role’. Grinds my gears.

Maple Leaf Posted January 21 Posted January 21 4 minutes ago, Morgan said: Shy was more prevalent than throw-in was in Scotland, years ago. As was ‘by kick’ or ‘bye kick’ instead of goal kick. Correct. Probably TV has allowed English expressions to become prevalent in Scotland. Another one is "handball". It was always just a foul.
RealMaroonCF Posted January 21 Posted January 21 After a 1st half yellow "he's now on thin ice the rest of this match" Einstein Wonder Football Analysis Award that one
Korky Posted January 21 Posted January 21 Not a football cliche but i hate that those clips of previous games shown before the kick-off are inevitably preceded by an exortation to ‘ENJOY’! A cheesy Americanism normally overused by coffee baristas!
Flankengott Posted January 21 Posted January 21 "...looking to kick on...", when a player uses this phrase it's a sure sign their career is about to take a nose dive towards oblivion.
MarkDevriesScores4 Posted January 21 Posted January 21 xG stats give me the ick. Less than useless. Get them in the bin
jamboozy Posted January 21 Posted January 21 “ He was entitled to go down” no he frigging well wasn’t, that’s called cheating! You fud!
Jamstomorrow Posted January 21 Posted January 21 7 hours ago, Walter Kidd said: 16 year old making his debut for Hearts "he is dugshite". Absolute cretinous behaviour from absolute ****wits. I agree. No professional football player is 'dugshite.' If they were, they would not be a professional football player.
Morgan Posted January 21 Posted January 21 15 minutes ago, Jamstomorrow said: Such and such a player, 'gets us!' That’s a really bad one! 👀

tian447 Posted January 21 Posted January 21 6 hours ago, Craig_ said: "Bragging rights in the capital" Condescending pish, he'd never say that about the Glasgow derby. To be fair, it would be a bit daft to say that about the Glasgow Derby, seeing as its not played in the Capital.

stirlo Posted January 21 Posted January 21 4 hours ago, redjambo said: Another vote for xG. Load of nonsense. Yes - all the xG chat is so tiresome. It's getting to the point where sometimes there seems to be more focus on the xG than the actual score! 'Transitions' have been mentioned far too much lately. 'It's a difficult place to go'. Often referring to a ground where the home team have hardly won a game all season.
jamboj Posted January 21 Posted January 21 The constant and incorrect use of "in terms of". It's bled into all aspects of life and does my head in. "In terms of kilometers, how far away is Aberdeen", is a legitimate sentence. "In terms of Neil McCann, is he a good appointment?" is David Brent management speak at its absolute worst. Illiterate fuds.
Scott980612 Posted January 21 Posted January 21 6 hours ago, tian447 said: Low Block = Parking the bus xG = A useless stat for people who's support for their team extends to their career on Football Manager or FIFA. Transition = how football normally works, where teams attack and defend. This for me Seems very popular right now.
ShedBoy Posted January 21 Posted January 21 Oh, and not strictly football, but when you’re singing Flower of Scotland, and people shout, ‘against who’. They should be dragged out the stadium and made to support h1b5 quite frankly.
hisnameis Posted January 21 Posted January 21 sentences starting with look! It's in their DNA. As if any club plays this same way regardless of personnel, manager, era. group, what are they musicians? Celtic daft, Rangers daft regarding a player from any other club as if everything has to contain some OF content.

CostaJambo Posted January 21 Posted January 21 Briefs instead of tickets. It is what it is. We go again. Give and go. In and around. Just realised I must be a miserable bassa!
Vansen Posted January 21 Posted January 21 Another vote for 'transition'. I dont remember it being used until the last couple of years. Suddenly every ****er started using it like it unlocked their pundit credentials.

TheManInMaroon Posted January 21 Posted January 21 I remember once Michael Owen was doing commentary and he said "He looks like a right footballer, don't he"
Craig_ Posted January 21 Posted January 21 That Antti Niemi Finnish joke. Was mildly amusing thirty years ago, now not so much.
