'Technical Ability'
Is it a poncy way of saying a player looks hilarious when they try to do something with a football? Seems to have little relevance if the player is banging in goals or keeping them out.
'Ball to Hand / Hand to Ball'
Basically, on purpose or not on purpose right?
'Last Man'
Seems to guarantee a red if this player commits a foul. Is it mentioned in any rule books because it seems very vague to me. If the last man is by the corner flag and the player he fouls has the mobility of an oil tanker should it be a red?
Help needed please.

"Football is a results business". As opposed to what? Those sports where no one keeps tab of the score?
(see also "football is all about opinions". As opposed to... what?)
"First goal will be important in this game". Has there ever been a game where this wasn't the case? |  | | |

"Off the shoulder"
Honestly, I have no idea what this means and I've kept it hidden for too long now. | | | |

FA Cup 5th Round?
What does this mean? |
Similar to 4th round, I think. |  | | |

I don't know Brian, Chery's goal against Fulham seemed pretty poorly timed to me. |  | | |

Last Man , Ball to Hand, Hand to Ball not mentioned in the laws.
Last man especially comes from the media - no where else.
Actual law wording is "Denying an obvious goalscoring opportunity to an opponent moving towards goal"
Last man no where to be seen! | | | |

"You have to take those chances in this division"
Implies that in "other" divisions there is some clever way of being awarded a goal witOUT taking your chances! | | | |

Im on a roll now
ANY goal scored after 80th minute is called a "late late " goal by the QPR media team, this despite the fact that all games go to at least the 93rd minute these days.
Referee marks in the papers.
Controversial decision writer agreed with = 7
As above writer doesn't agree = 4
All other games = 6
VERY informative! | | | |

Players who SLAM in a transfer request , does that mean they go into the office with a piece of paper and slam it in front of the manager/chairman ? |  |
| And Bowles is onside, Swinburne has come rushing out of his goal , what can Bowles do here , onto the left foot no, on to the right foot
That’s there that’s two, and that’s Bowles

Come to that - "transfer list".
Can we track down this list? Can we please, for the love of god, put Diakite's name on it? | |

Yes. This gone, apparently, right up to the point at which the window SLAMS shut.
Well, according to Talksport, anyway. |  |

They deserved at least a point out of that game.
Why ?
Score more goals mate and you might get a point or two. |  |

Young and hungry.
I accept increased nutrition is necessary for development at an early age but there's the danger that it may be as a result of tapeworms. |  |

Any game that a team doesn't actually HAVE to win called a "must win" game.
Few on here guilty of that - you know who you are! | | | |

"Linesman (Doesn't exist anymore) just about got that right"
As opposed to 100% got that right perhaps? 
"As we can see (from our camera up in the stand) the referee had a great view of that (with his eyes which are about 6ft from the ground) | | | |

Stonewall penalty. |
True. Then there's 'I've seen them given'.
Either it's a peno or it's not. Make your mind up and call it. In a world that contains Ashley Young, let's not pretend that every penalty decision given in the past was correct or relevant, | |

Sleeping giant: any big city club on their uppers in a lower league. Sheffield United, Leeds United, Nottingham Forest for instance. We on the other hand are a comatose dwarf. |  | | |
