This c/w 'big team' Jum Spence wrote a few weeks ago that 'football respects results, not reputation' so if you're relegated you fucking deserve it.

But some of the old ones from the 40s and 50s were just fantastic - "The Galloping Major" (Puskás), "Der Papierene" (The Paper Man - Sindelar). "The [Insert Name of Eastern European Town] Thunderbolt". Football looks like it was more fun in the old, unselfconsciousness, somewhat camp days. "Name+y" doesn't really come up to scratch! The Lion of Vienna. What about the "Matthews Final", despite the fact Stan Mortensen scored a hat trick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tarapoa Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 Not really a fitba phrase as such, but all that "If your granny had baws...." stuff is just irritating. "Linked" - Sevco have been 'linked' with moves for Kenny McLean and Ryan Jack. What it means we have no attributable quotes or evidence, but a couple of folk mentioned it on social media.

tarapoa Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 The team that's been drawn to play a Scottish side in the Champions League/Europa League qualifiers being described as "cracks" or an "outfit" 1.FC Cologne, circa 1979, were always a crack German outfit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

10menwent2mow Posted April 30, 2017 Share Posted April 30, 2017 Not sure if this has been mentioned yet but. "The ref has done well to keep his cards in his pocket this early" No if it's a booking, it's a fucking booking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Mantis Posted April 30, 2017 Share Posted April 30, 2017 Not Scottish football but never mind (actually was discussed in the pages of WSC fanzine recently). Pundits saying 'in and around', as in 'in and around the penalty area'. This has spread to the extent that you can actually be in and around a player these days. Shearer used it last night on MOTD to describe somebody, I forget who, but he had players in and around him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tarapoa Posted May 2, 2017 Share Posted May 2, 2017 "We didn't turn up". Seems to be the accepted way of saying "eleven folk paid to play the sport appeared on the pitch and served up 90 minutes of turgid, abysmal, half-hearted football, wasting their supporters' time and money".

I think you're getting mixed up with Dons' fans summing up St Johnstone after we win or draw at Pittodrie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
