Most annoying new football terminology

[AllTheBoysAreCheerin']

As if people get this annoyed by evolving terminology...

Maybe we should all just grunt and point still?

I thought you did!

 

[Seaside Aggro]

‘It’s not Appleton’s fault at all’

It is new terminology for the sake of sounding cleverer than the hundreds of other pundits, etc. Very often they replace a term everyone understands with a new description no one understands.
It is as if they are describing a new game, not one that has been much loved for over 100 years

 

[Davepick]

Yup - this "between the lines" bollix does my head in.

Stupid phrase.
If you pass 'outside the lines' it's a bloody throw-in.

 

[Eventhepenguins]

It's not terminology and it's not that annoying, but why do they all play in "footless" socks these days with a pair of 10 for a £1 white socks on underneath??

 

[ballysboots]

The group

Should give them a set of guitars and drums

 

[Mark_GT]

Moving away from panel world for a moment, "Limbs" - i.e. a bunch of people filming themselves jumping about shortly before updating their status or checking they are in the picture.

Ahh yeah... I can really see how people speaking new words could piss off all of you cantankerous old farts.

 

[SwannDangerous]

Martin keown just said "playing through all of the compartments of the team"

How'dyou like that one

 

[Graves]

The group

Every modern managers’ post match interview ever:
‘As I said to the group…’

 

[Wizaard]

False 9.

 

[Matesrates]

Just seen in the Holland/USA game, ball recovery time

 

[WyrePool]

Alex Scott mentioning the Netherlands setting traps. What is that all about

 

[Eventhepenguins]

Has anyone mentioned on this thread yet a player recovering from injury, said to be back on the grass??

Football was lost to me when we got rid of the leather Casey, and I am a mild mannered old fart if you please

I don't even know what a leather casey is without googling it

Try heading one and it would be classed as an instant concussion injury.

Not to mention the Wembley Trophy and that rock hard dimpled smaller plastic bastard we had at junior school.

Especially when wet and muddy, even heavier then

he is terrible. who decides on these pundits. a mystery to me. he knew how to defend but he doesn't even provide any insights on that.

 

[BIG_BERTHA_3]

He does but they're so malformed and incoherent they are completely impossible to understand.

 

[TommyHutch]

Beyond the perimeter of the playing surface? Did that used to be out of play? Why use three words when seven will do!

 

[Farnorth]

‘Forced turnover’ ? Did that used to be called a successful tackle ?

 

[Wizaard]

‘Forced turnover’ ? Did that used to be called a successful tackle ?

I used to love an apple turnover.

 

[Old_Laytonian]

Emerging nations. No they're not they're still shit

 

[Wizaard]

Emerging nations. No they're not they're still shit

If they're emerging, is it like Kuwait and Kuwee

 

[Old_Laytonian]

I think Qatar are still buried

 

[tangysider]

I think Qatar are still buried

Nice stadiums though

 

[Scratcher53]

No ‘ball boys’ anymore - according to sky commentary they are now ‘ball retrievers’ joke !

 

[Tobleroneboots]

Great thread, there really is a load of bollocks spouted these days isn’t there. These lads knew what they were about. Proper punditry.

[Satriale's Pork Store]

A new 'Covid influenced' one from Karen Bardsley, commentating on the Manc birds derby....

Trace and Track

 

[Mark_GT]

'It's coming home'

Never want to hear that one again. Especially uttered from the slack mouth of that talentless imbecile Andy Goldsein on Talksport.

Serves you right for tuning into Talkshoite!

TBF despite his smartarsery I used to sometimes enjoy Durham's show in the afternoon. At least he knows what he's on about and supports a proper team. Goldstein is unlistenable, a complete nonentity and as for his sidekick with the 20 grand trainers, I just give up.

New one from Rio

You have to have real in game intelligence.

OK.

OK.

Don’t even understand that

OK.

Is that the same as being able to read the game?
