Darren Posted November 17, 2018 Share Posted November 17, 2018 In football writing, players and managers admitting or insisting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DA Baracus Posted November 17, 2018 Share Posted November 17, 2018 Aye 'admitting' is always one that bugs me. It's not like it's ever some dark secret that the manager has been keeping and has had it tortured out of him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingjoey Posted November 19, 2018 Share Posted November 19, 2018 Not sure if this one has already been raised, but “giving the referee a decision to make” does ma heid in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jagfox Posted November 19, 2018 Share Posted November 19, 2018 Ex- Football commentators propensity to omit the -ly off of the end of adjectives. e.g. "He's hit that brilliant!" Just f**k off! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moses Supposes Posted November 19, 2018 Share Posted November 19, 2018 On 16/11/2018 at 08:40, Green Day said: Perhaps slightly outdated (and maybe mentioned earlier, cannae be arsed looking) but is the term "Tanner ba player" used any more? I never understood that, tbh Of course, the tanner ba' player could also literally (a much abused word) turn on a sixpence when tying his opponents up in knots. Alas, his pin-point crosses to the back stick were often totally wasted as the intended target the centre-forward was unable to cash-in due to his having an absolute holocaust and, depending on your preference, either had a heid like a thruppeny-bit or a heid like a biscuit tin. And thus the chance crafted by our wing wizard would once again go abegging. NB - the word again can never be used on its own, it always has to be accompanied by once (cf, total sitter, absolute howler). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VictorOnopko Posted November 19, 2018 Share Posted November 19, 2018 Pluralising the names of individual players as a way of showing they are important, e.g.: "Hearts need their Christophe Berras and their Steven Naismiths back from injury" Usually to be heard coming from the thickest of the Sportsound pundits.

DG.Roma Posted November 19, 2018 Share Posted November 19, 2018 I heard the ref at a reserve game today warning a player for talking back say... "You're on my radar now" Didn't realise they had radar in those wee headsets! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moniton Posted November 19, 2018 Share Posted November 19, 2018 We have a title race because team X are " now within 2 points of team Y" - no they aren't they are exactly 2 points away, this is a numerical certainty not a bloody choice of numbers. That is how league tables work. Tam Cowan is particularly bad for this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Nightfly Posted November 19, 2018 Share Posted November 19, 2018 "Play-off places" being mentioned right from the start of the season as though being in them is a big deal. Talk of them should be banned until about March ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HIT THE CHANNEL Posted November 19, 2018 Share Posted November 19, 2018 ‘Grinded out’ - usually in reference to narrow wins or underdogs earning a ‘hard fought point’. 'Hit the channel’. Yip, I’m brick hard for this threat. Brick hard. Also one you hear on MOTD - ‘Johnny on the spot’. What the f**k?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
