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

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

Deck

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

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.

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

Why not use the position names!

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

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

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
