EastNeukFox Posted 12 May 2015 Posted 12 May 2015 Not really a modern cliche, but one that has always pi55ed me off, is when managers/players/pundits/fans etc etc talk about needing to get a result from a match. Other than the relatively rare occasions when games are abandoned, has there ever been a football match that hasnt produced a feckin result???
tom27111 Posted 13 May 2015 Posted 13 May 2015 He doesn't stay down unless he's really hurt Park the bus Any commentator, usually Andy Townsend, who says "Very much so" A marginal offside decision, which is correctly given, but upon watching the replay, the commentator says "He's a good yard offside". No he isn't, do you know how long a yard is? Referees Assistant. It's a linesman. Always has been, always will be. Commentators posing the question if the extra officials behind the goal have ever given a decision.
Jimothy Posted 13 May 2015 Posted 13 May 2015 " He isn't really a Manchester United type of player." What the **** does that even mean?!? You hear it said about some really good players, like playing for Manchester United takes being some kind of special breed of person.
Guest Col city fan Posted 13 May 2015 Posted 13 May 2015 Pearson can't manage big personalities.. In other words, he wants to offload players who are actually shite. Mills, Danns and Beckford being but three
J.Lisemore Posted 13 May 2015 Posted 13 May 2015 I think Merson said it in preseason. No surprise there then . Definitely an undercover Leicester fan Merse.
Guest ttfn Posted 13 May 2015 Posted 13 May 2015 "It's a results business" What business isn't a "results business"?
filbertway Posted 13 May 2015 Posted 13 May 2015 Another one used by a lot of gumps on here is "player x is overrated/a fraud" - usually when talking about an international player in their early 20's.
Hirsty The Blue 94 Posted 13 May 2015 Posted 13 May 2015 Andy Townsend classic of 'In and Around the 18/6 yard box when talking about a striker'
ramboacdc Posted 13 May 2015 Posted 13 May 2015 "It's a results business" What business isn't a "results business"? death row?
Nalis Posted 13 May 2015 Posted 13 May 2015 'No easy games in International Football' - San Marino, etc... 'The first goal is crucial' - Not really, one example of many is Bristol City conceding first a couple of weeks ago. They won 8-2 in the end. 'England will want to avoid playing (insert marginally hotter city) in (Euros/World Cup/next round)' - Last time I checked both teams play each other on the same pitch.
Kitchandro Posted 13 May 2015 Posted 13 May 2015 "<Any team that plays in a complete shithole of a ground despite clear investment> have done really well given the lack of finances." Burnley, Watford, Bournemouth and QPR (when they first went up) for example. Also (and this is two in one) "<insert stadium that was built anytime prior to the 90s> always has a cracking atmosphere which makes it a tough place to go to". Usually Goodison, Anfield, Stamford Bride, Upton Park, Elland Road, The City Ground, Old Trafford... you know the type. "<insert shithole of a stadium> is a really tough place to go". **** off. 'The Den is a tough place to go' What?
Kitchandro Posted 13 May 2015 Posted 13 May 2015 Goodman's favourite is the overuse of ''desire'' And everything 'really, really is' something. Even stuff that is just a fact. 'That's a goal. It really, really is'.
The Year Of The Fox Posted 13 May 2015 Posted 13 May 2015 Ummm what Yeh. If I had a pound for everytime I've heard it the last couple of years... it's a position on a pitch. People talk like its only just been discovered
AdamN Posted 14 May 2015 Posted 14 May 2015 Vardy's transfer history is in danger of becoming clichéd. Yes, we get it, I'm sure he's just grateful to be on the pitch considering he was once a NON-LEAGUE player. I bet Stocksbridge Park Steels have never had so much free publicity.
bovril Posted 14 May 2015 Posted 14 May 2015 I think I hate this one most of all. Are players really affected by the rain and the City they're in? I find it hard to believe. 'Leicester's ground is too nice for them to stay up'. Dear me, what a load of bollocks. I remember someone questioning whether Modric could adapt to the rough and tumble of the Premiership. This is someone who's had lumps kicked out of him in the Bosnian league.
Dan Posted 14 May 2015 Posted 14 May 2015 Messi's another. It's like people think he doesn't get tackled in Spain.

Stadt Posted 14 May 2015 Posted 14 May 2015 "The premier league is more physical." All of the players are foreign anyway.
bovril Posted 14 May 2015 Posted 14 May 2015 croatian "the next goal here is important" ....ain't all goals? I'm pretty sure he had a season on loan in Bosnia.
Libertine Posted 14 May 2015 Posted 14 May 2015 I hate this "ooh we don't like to see that over here" bob spouted whenever a foreign player or manager waves the imaginary card to persuade the ref to book someone. No different to the fans chanting "off! off! off!". And Andy Townsend. He's almost hit that too well, Clive.
ramboacdc Posted 15 May 2015 Posted 15 May 2015 I'm pretty sure he had a season on loan in Bosnia. nah. dinamo zagreb, couple of loans to some 2nd division croatian clubs before spurs picked him up.

Without wishing to get very petty I think you're confusing your leagues. He played for Zrinjski Mostar who get many of their players and fans from the Croatian community but play in the Bosnian league.
