On the break - is now in transition

Made a goal - is now an assist

Injury time - is now added time

Linesman - Assistant Referee

4th official - What?!

VAR - Double What?!

Anymore that if, I could, mention to my Dad today he wouldn't have a clue what I was on about despite being a fan his whole life?

It's in the back of the onion bag ..... no the only thing in the back of an onion bag is an onion
My dad would have been spinning with goal kicks now not having to leave the area.... they are goal keepers and mostly CH not Pele.... so hoof it
When did we get to the stage of taking a corner and literally just introducing the ball to the quadrant.... it should be inside the quadrant
Why do referees never pull up foul throws now.... not matter how foul they are

I definitely agree about the corner quadrant.How can a ball just overhanging the line be ok?And much simpler would it be for the ref to see that it’s properly on the line for the corner where the linesman isn’t?And how much advantage do they get from the ball being an inch or so nearer the goal?
Absolutely stupid law.

An old Lancastrian coach of mine didn't tell us to 'press' it was 'weigh on 'im!!`
I laughed when he roared it at us but I find I randomly shout it out nearly 40 years later😂
God knows what the guggenpress youth think of it nowadays!

Soccer Saturday is rammed full of this nonsense;

- "he's hit the beans on toast", just say "post" you faux cockney pillock.
- "he's scored a Worldy", no he hasn't, its just a very good goal

"Fantastic point blank save" when the keeper couldn't have got out of the way if his life depended on it.

"He's been clever there" or "used his experience" to "draw a foul" no he hasn't, he's fùcking cheated and the sooner it starts getting called out as such the sooner it'll stop.

Also miss Keegan using strength as a verb.


Outstrengthed is probably the worst footballism of all time.

"He got his shot away". Drives me nuts. Just say "he shot".

"Put the ball into an area". Where else would he put it?

"In the business of winning Premier League football matches" - though even that has gone a bit passe now.

The one that always gets me is when the commentator says something along the lines of, “Derby have really been asking questions of QPR in the last 10 minutes?

Well what sort of questions? Are the Derby players running around the midfield trying to put the QPR players off asking anything from, Where’s the best place to eat in Shepherds Bush? What’s the capital of Montenegro? Charlie George is related to David Lloyd George - true or false? What’s the square root of 4913? What was the first Beatles single without you or me in the title?

QPR would then have to bring QPRXTC on as a sub to break up the Derby questions with his own posers such as “Does all creativity ultimately point to the futility of the existence of life?” “Why are we all here or are we actually here at all?” And ... “Should Punk Rock be dismissed as a musical art form cos no one talks about 10CC anymore?”

One we've recently borrowed from the Rogby is using the word "football" instead of "ball", and our man Warburton is guilty of this.

"We've got to make better use of the football when we have the football and protect the football better to deny them use of the football..."

Marky Baby, I think when you're being interviewed in the immediate aftermath of a QPR match on QPR TV by Nick London who's a QPR fan and you're wearing your QPR gear and the only people who're ever going to see this interview are QPR fans I think we can all agree that - to save you and us some time - you can forego usage of the word "football" and instead be cheekily informal enough to use the shortened version of "ball" that none of us will be confused and that none of us will be down the back of the classromm with our hand in the air shouting "Miss, Miss, Miss, when he says "ball" does he mean "football" or does he mean a singular testicle.

Have you noticed that footballers and football pundits have their own tense." He's went past him", or "he's went down the wing". A sentence structure only uttered by ex players.

Yes! Great spot.

Watching Ch****a v Burnley at the moment and they have Thiago Silva playing the Quarterback Role, apparently. With no helmet on either.

Very true Brian. Also the case with 'game of football' or 'football game' as in 'we have a game of football to win, or it was a' tough football game tonight', instead of just a simple old 'game'. I think we all know what sport we are at least trying to play

Because on every other line if the ball is slightly touching or 'overhanging' it counts as 'in', therefore the same with corner quadrant.

Like with most throws, does it matter?

One I despise is 'Top bins'. Since when did the top corner of the goal look like a wheelie bin?

"Foot race".
How else would they be racing each other? On roller skates?

"Things had started becoming increasingly desperate at Loftus Road but QPR have been handed a massive lifeline and the place has absolutely erupted. it's carnage. It's bedlam. It's 1-1."

'Different gravy'.

Anyone found using this phrase, especially in broadcast sports media, should be dropped into the rhino enclosure wearing 'Eau d'Horn' during mating season.

I know we gave 'slide rule pass' a bit of a dig out here, but Bamford's pass for Leeds first goal yesterday was definitely that. The man was much maligned on here and did us a huge favour last season with his penalty 'attempt'. But he looked the real deal yesterday - pleased for him in a weird kinda way

Yes that one always gets me ... as opposed to racing on your ...



Early doors“ First person I heard utter this was Ron Atkinson some time in the early 90s. Which surprised me as I would’ve considered Atkinson more of an Acker Bilk man than early Doors. Maybe it was Ray Manzarek’s organ work on Light My Fire that won him over.
