Dindeleux Posted November 13, 2018 Share Posted November 13, 2018 I've never heard the phrase "crack outfit" other than when a Scottish team is playing in Europe, usually against German/Dutch/Belgian/Austrian opposition for some reason. Were they not usually Soviet Union teams?Colombian surely? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Savage Henry Posted November 13, 2018 Share Posted November 13, 2018 Football managers seem to conflate "our" with "we're". I've never heard anyone, even the most ghastly of Paisley twangs (other bad accents are available) say anything like "The boys are please with we're performance."

Monkey socks Posted November 13, 2018 Share Posted November 13, 2018 I remember Arthur Montford commenting on a Celtic European tie and describing a Billy McNeil pass with the phrase " he did the sensible thing instead of blootering it up the park" in a football context the blooter has no alcohol inference but pertains to the footballers ability ( or lack of ) to control the ball and choosing to lump it usually aimlessly up the park.

LiviLion Posted November 13, 2018 Share Posted November 13, 2018 Not exclusive to football but it's where I first heard people saying "just about" wrongly. "He just about got a hand to it" when the keeper makes a save is one, he didn't "just about" get a hand to it, he fucking did get a hand to it you c**t.

Well no, he didn’t just about keep it in play, he did keep it in play. I’ve never heard that nonsense anywhere else. This. Every day of the fucking week. Utter nonsense. Used to only hear it on commentators down south but its crept up here (Nob McLean Im looking at you). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loonytoons Posted November 13, 2018 Share Posted November 13, 2018 This year UK football has gained something called an Oh-fence although I've yet to spot one. Also, it's now the only place where just about doesn't mean just about any more. Just about is a cultural thing. Scotland and north of England it means you just fell short.Further south it means you just did enough.Probably says more about our psyche than anything else.Both meanings just about make sense.
