Did that not start on Soccer AM a few years back? That's certainly the first place I heard it.

I think it’s from some street football show Wayne Rooney did about 10 years ago, and soccer AM subsequently used it roughly every 3 seconds.

It’s absolutely horrendous regardless.

You need a certain mentality at Celtic and Rangers. You are expected to win every week.

“He just about got there” when he did.

It’s always a difficult ground to go to (no matter where it is - the further away the more difficult it is)

He hit it too well.

If a goal is ruled out or penalty not given, and a team loses by a single goal, pundits and managers think the game would have played out the exact same way had they been given (i.e. if that had been given it would have been a draw)

Going on every season that Hibs are an exciting team.





A couple more to add:

The next goal is sooo important.

2-1 is such a dangerous scoreline.

Back when Soccer AM was worth watching for 3 hours every saturday morning! It's went down the tubes now.

“Football is a contact sport” is always trotted out as if its some kind of official status.   It’s not.  Judo is a contact sport.  It’s also always trotted out after a team concedes a penalty for pushing, or after a red card for following through.   It’s akin to “the game’s gone soft”, and “the striker shat it” after pulling out of a “50/50” which may easily have resulted in a red card.

It's also correctly used after a pathetic collapse from a player who was running alongside or challenging another player is ludicrously rewarded with a free kick by a duped referee.

Irrelevant anyway, boxing is a contact sport, but you still get penalised for breaking rules, same with any sport, contact or otherwise.

We need to stick together, we’ll continue to work hard on the training ground and I didn’t think there was much in it - used by a manager fearing the sack

Another that is commonly used now is, we were the better team for 40 mins. Just a pity his team didn't score during that period, and the 5 mins they weren't the better team they conceded 3 goals.

Small margins. 

Though tbf us fans use those ones too.
