Words you never heard at football.

Two more of Brendan's go to buzzwords - 'character' and 'personality'.

Guess where that was first popularized!

 

It entered the mainstream through Rodgers describing Steve Gerrard's role.

Wasn't it actually used back when full backs were so called because they were fully back in the WM formation (i.e. the defenders) and centre halves were central players halfway up the pitch (i.e. the midfielders)?
Then you had half backs who were somewhere between a centre half and a full back (i.e. the defensive midfielders)
And I swear I've heard quarter backs being used at some point to describe a role in those systems, can't remember if it was more advanced or deeper than the half back though

"Trent" in a thick scouse accent!

They say it because they'd use up too much saliva if they said his full name.

Is "low block" just a new term for parking the bus? I'd never heard it before this season.

I bet you could have got 5000-1 on that a few years ago on being a term used in a football match.

[dynamark]

The channels ? I thought that was a body of water.

Cannot remember the last time I heard the term sweeper though 

[dynamark]

How about technical area .

And why do we call a dugout a dugout .

This needs eradicating.

 

It's a proper teenage thing so that they can gush over players rather than follow their clubs. Ought to be viewed as a lesser perversion.

I think it’s more of a non European thing than an age thing. Fans in Africa and Asia and to some extent North America seem to support players more than teams and have no problems switching allegiances as their favourite player does.

Not really the same but does anyone ever hear the word brandish outside of a footballing context? I don't think anyone has ever brandished anything other than a referee.

Yeah.

 

A sword.

 

A torch.

 

A badge of authority.

 

Seriously, I'm just well read.
