So, I have been guilty of this in conversation in the past, but the greater crime against humanity is the misuse of ‘of’. I would of, he could of, they should of. I can sort of understand it in speech but how can someone write it down that way? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dezz Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 One that always gets me, although it’s not one you hear often, is the phrase ‘kit clash’ when talking about two team playing against each other in kits that are similar colours. A ‘kit clash’ is exactly how it should be - i.e kits that do not go together. It’s a ‘kit match’ you want to avoid! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Great Stagsby Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 "Ross County have made a great start to the season." I'm not sure it counts as a cliche(?), but it's definitely something I'm sick of hearing. Still being said by various pundits at the point where our results read WWDLDLL and we were on 3 less points than at the same stage last season 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still being said by various pundits at the point where our results read WWDLDLL and we were on 3 less points than at the same stage last season Your league position wasn't as good though, equally Livi made a poor start but after 2 wins in recent games we're only 3 points worse off than at the same stage last season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ropy Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 I lost the battle against the phrase ‘up top’ it was always ‘up front’ in my day, at least we haven’t resorted to defenders being ‘down bottom’ 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrewDon Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 'We're looking to get a result'. Managers and players both guilty of this one. You'll definitely be getting a result - whether it's a good result is a separate issue. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't remember hearing it until about ten years ago. I'd cheerfully murder anyone talking about "good tekkers" and feel entirely justified. This one is really irritating.

This one has maybe been going on for a while but it is annoying and seems to be becoming common again.

These fuckwits don't seem to understand that just about doing something means you didn't bloody manage to do it. I think the "just about" annoys me the most. ITV commentators love it. Not a cliche but it really annoys me when people say X player or team "could have scored 3" when they hadn't yet scored 2 (or 1) as if the game would continue in the same vein. Similar to that "it was going on 6 or 7" but it was actually only 2. "We're going to do everything we can/to the best of our abilities to get a result" - you better be, don't let me hear you say anything to the contrary Edited September 28, 2020 by crispy 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His favoured left foot still suggests there may be one he doesn’t fancy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
