Jmothecat2 Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 More a fans one but, 'Going for 55' when they are not. Clearly going for 5. I've never bothered counting the now defunct Rangers' league titles, but when Newco fans claim they are going for '55' are they including Newco's lower league titles in that figure? Even more tragic than I thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The keeper guesses the wrong way = "excellent penalty". The penalty taker does exactly the same thing but the keeper guesses the right way and saves it = "terrible penalty". Never understood that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jmothecat2 Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 'Penalties are a lottery' is another one that annoys me regarding penalties. No they aren't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Herman Hessian Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 in two-legged matches the cretinous assertion that "away goals count double" - no, they don't two games - 1-1 and 2-2 - the aggregate score is 3-3 and someone wins on away goals - it's not 4 fucking 5 on aggregate, is it !

7-2 Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 (Every single game any team now plays away from home) is a hard place to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jmothecat2 Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 (Every single game any team now plays away from home) is a hard place to go. They said that on Sportsound about Ross County before the Dons games on Wednesday, then in the very next sentence said they had only won twice at home in the league all season.

Jmothecat2 Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 XG for me is like Kim Kardashian, I keep looking up what they are but forget so quickly I have to look them up again a month or so later, before once again forgetting and once again googling to find out.

Hadn't heard of it , looked it up and the Kardashian metaphor seems pretty apt . Is totally made up and pretty pointless . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richey Edwards Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 "Kick on from here" "game of two halves" "Six-pointer" - I remember when I first heard this phrase as a wee boy I thought it meant that for some reason the game was selected as a "special" game and 6 points were up for grabs instead of the usual 3.

Sloop John B Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 'Buzzing' 'We go again' Any loaded term to describe a player by race, for example so many black players and described as 'athletic or a powerhouse' or an Asian player as 'hard working.' On top of that black players getting compared to other black players despite not playing anything like one another (Lukaku versus Drogba or Son Heung Min and Ji Sung Park) Referring to the England Women's team as the 'Lionesses' nobody is calling the youth teams the 'Cubs' so why make the Women's team seem like they are different?

Gaz Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 I'm sure this thread was done about ten years ago when Soccer AM was at its peak. Phrases like "in the hole" and suchlike to mean an attacker midfielder playing behind two forwards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
