Szamo's_Ammo Posted September 27, 2020 Share Posted September 27, 2020 Every few weeks a certain phrase or cliche creeps into the lexicon of football pundits and commentators and suddenly they are all using it. I've noticed "they've seen this movie before" has appeared from nowhere and it is really grinding my gears. James McFadden was the latest to say it on Sportsound yesterday. What are the cliches/phrases that you are sick of hearing? It is what it is. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BFTD Posted September 27, 2020 Share Posted September 27, 2020 Does the word 'tekkers' count as new? I don't remember hearing it until about ten years ago. I'd cheerfully murder anyone talking about "good tekkers" and feel entirely justified. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soccer AM is to blame for the vast majority of things that go about today, most of them were created as a parody ironically. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Szamo's_Ammo Posted September 27, 2020 Author Share Posted September 27, 2020 Read on another thread but making player or club names plural. "Your Giggs's, your Rooneys, your Ferdinands..." This one has maybe been going on for a while but it is annoying and seems to be becoming common again. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pundits saying how no one can understand the handball rule now, when it would be clear if they took 30 seconds to read the rules. It used to be the same for the offside rule. "If you're offside, you're offside. If you're on the pitch, you're interfering with play".

LIVIFOREVER Posted September 27, 2020 Share Posted September 27, 2020 He just about did enough to keep it out, when he did keep it out. He just about got to it to score, yep you've guessed it, he did score. These fuckwits don't seem to understand that just about doing something means you didn't bloody manage to do it. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
