Turnover.

false 9

 

[Tommo1993]

‘He had no right to shoot from there/save that’

Wtf do rights have to do with anything?

 

[ovduk78]

Unbelievable (although this of course is not limited to just football where believable things are described as unbelievable)

 

[Sky_Blue_Daz]

Turnover.

Don't understand that, or the XG count

 

[Adge]

Yep-still don’t get the XG thing. Load of old cobblers.

Apologising when you can hear swearing.

 

[Sky_Blue_Daz]

Apologising when you can hear swearing.

Often thought after 9pm the commentary team should be allowed to swear

 

[fatso]

Commentators saying "literally" when they dont understand the meaning of the word.

It literally boils my piss

 

[fatso]

Deck

A deck is a pack of cards or a ships floor, or Ant Mcpartlin's mate, not a SQUAD of football players.

 

[Tommo1993]

It literally boils my piss

That must be really unpleasant

VAR

Reminded me of the WBA game on Good Friday where I went 'oh fuck off ref' to a bad decision

A lad in front of me sitting with his young kid turned around and said 'watch your language please'

Sorry but you're at a football match and you're gonna hear bad language, whether it's from comments like I made or chants. If you want to reduce the chances of hearing any, go and sit in the family stand

It's one of those things that can divide opinion, the language in the stadiums (in general) is better than it was back in the 70's
And I understand that parents with young kids wont want to hear it, but when passions are high its going to happen.

What I find rediculous is when tv commentators find the need to apologise every time the microphone picks up swearing from the crowd, its as if they want to completely sanitise every aspect of life and remove the passion from the game.

I can understand it if a player swears in an interview to camera at the final whistle, but by repeatedly apologising they're actually bringing attention to it.

Apologising when you can hear swearing.

“No-one wants to see scenes like this”

I do! Show me the pitch invasion!

Invade it then!

Any Italian phrase people use to sound clever.

Trequartista. No thanks mate I’ve already eaten.

Inside forward

 

[Wyken Sky Blue]

You hear a lot of 'play as a 6' or 'play as an 8'

Why not use the position names!

[fernandopartridge]

xG is basically the statistical representation of statements like "we had the better of the game"

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Not necessarily a term but football commentators who strain or drop their voice mid sentence. ‘They just…can’t break through the lines’

 

[Wyken Sky Blue]

Not a term but players shaking hands before the start of the game when you're about to go head to head

Leave it until the game is finished
