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? |  | | |  |

I very much doubt anybody whose young enough to understand what all these phrases actually mean even know what a slide rule is let alone used one! [Post edited 28 Jan 2021 18:32]

False 9 - a forward that doesn’t score goals
Back to goal player - a forward that doesn’t score goals
Pivot - a forward that doesn’t score goals
Scotland’s centre forward - you get the idea |  | | |

Wasn't it just known as closing down? |
Jack Charlton called it 'put em under pressure' which famously became our theme song | | | |

Great thread . One which makes my blood boil is Players putting their bodies on the line . No : blokes getting shot at in the trenches is putting your body on the line , not getting hit with a football . I need to calm down now . Another is Quarterback role ? WTF has idiotic Yankee w@nkie football got to do with our sport ? And Mark Chappers Chapman calls it defence when talking about football , yet says Deeeefence when it’s the other stuff . Final offering is On the half turn , a favourite of Jonathan Pearce . If it was the full turn you’d be going round 360 degrees like doing round the pole at HT . | | | |

Nobody's mentioned ... THE WINDOW SLAMS SHUT!!
Also, how long before 'attack' becomes 'offence'? | | | |

"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. |  | | |

Recycling - I used to hear this word a lot in commentary and analysis and had no idea what it was referring to - I haven’t heard it for a while but that’s because I rarely listen to commentary anymore and prefer to have music playing instead. The Milan derby the other night in the Coppa Italia with a compilation of 70s Brazilian rare-groove playing over it - niice!
Have to stick up for slide rule pass. I quite like that one and it’s been around for years -no? I always equate it with Glenn Hoddle. That’s Hoddle the player as opposed to Hoddle the manager, or Hoddle the student of Buddhism. |  | | |

Zonal marking : There's no need to mark their centre forwards at a corner, just patrol a piece of the pitch. "So how does that work?". "Dad, it doesn't".
False 9: Our centre forward is injured, so we're playing with an extra midfielder. |  | | |

How long before a 'free kick' is referred to as a 'disciplinary-induced uncontested lower limb matchball contact'? |  |
| 'What do we want? We don't know! When do we want it? Now!' |

Anyone using the quarterback analogy should be banned from broadcasting.
What next? "Rangers have Dieng in the wicketkeeper role?"
Kindly go for a long walk on a short pier  |  |

I meant it in the sense that it is using a term from any other sport to describe something which happens in football  | |

Yes but it's normally the law only to be americanisms, they'd never have heared of cricket.

Or Hoddle the singer behind the mask. Slide rule pass has been around for decades.
I'm not a fan of 'Transitions', 'Between the lines', 'Working the Channels', 'First/Second Contact' or 'Getting your rewards'. [Post edited 30 Jan 2021 18:19]
