The linesman that ruled England's controversial 3rd goal over the line in the 1966 World Cup final was NOT Russian. Tofiq Bahramov was Azerbaijani, and while at the time Azerbaijan was part of the USSR, that does not ever make him Russian. I wish pundits, commentators and fans would stop propagating this error.

What did he think he meant ? We had a vice principle (Just had to Google principal/principle such is the nature of this thread ?) have all the boys in the class in year 8 in for a bollocking, and told us we were making a rod for our own bikes. Now I can't pretend I knew what she meant, but I damn sure knew she was wrong. And to top it off, she told the really shy (gormless) lad to take that gormless look off his face. He couldn't. That was his face.

Googled it and assumed I'd chosen the right one. I'm not even changing it now as you deserve that one. I blame auto correct. I wrote principale.
Stadt Posted 1 July 2018 Posted 1 July 2018 When a player that isn't a striker plays as a conventional forward and they get referred to as a false nine. No, it's just a midfielder playing as a striker.

They once had a severed shark's head on display (guaranteed to draw the punters in ), which was bad enough, but there was a chalk sign which declared (I'm roughly paraphrasing, but the important bit at the end is verbatim), "Whilst sharks are feared as vicious predators, not all are dangerous and some even feed on plantain." Pretty certain they meant plankton. The idea of sharks feeding on plantain has always tickled me

Vacamion Posted 3 August 2018 Posted 3 August 2018 The commentary on Wednesday evening mentioned the ball "hit him in the midrift". I've tried to not post in here about it. I've failed.
HighPeakFox Posted 10 August 2018 Author Posted 10 August 2018 One particular contributor here writes 'his' when he mean 'he's' AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHH!
Vacamion Posted 18 August 2018 Posted 18 August 2018 "Eats" used as a noun. "Transition" used as a verb. Just urgh...
