To be fair (2 Viewers)

better days · Sep 20, 2018

The current most regular cliche in the football world
Hardly an interview with a manager, coach or player ends without it being included at least once
Probably most fans too though - to be fair.....

Skyblueweeman · Sep 20, 2018

Good point to be fair.

ajsccfc · Sep 20, 2018

At the end of the day you have to fill the silence, ummm, know what I mean?

OffenhamSkyBlue · Sep 20, 2018

I always wonder to whom or what the speaker needs to be fair! Needless, in any shape or form, across the piece, Brian!!

The Great Eastern · Sep 20, 2018

'To be fair...' about as pointless as 'Know what I mean ?'

I know the context of the thread isn't exactly thought provoking G but seriously...when was the last time you said something positive?

Mcbean · Sep 20, 2018

to be honest i thought Kevin Nolan gave a fair and unbias opinion of the referees performance

I preferred Toby Shaw personally

'To be fair' is up there with 'no disrespect but....' (and said person goes on to actually say something disrespectful)

Surely depends on how it's used. I think I used it the other day and think it was about Burge. Something along the lines of 'He's a much better player these days to be fair'.

Nowt disrespectful about that.

I'm not being funny... but you are talking absolute shite. I'm not being funny is the ultimate pre cursor to offensive statements.

Otis · Sep 20, 2018

So is 'I'm not being funny, but that was hilarious ' offensive?

"the group"

winds me up that one

usskyblue · Sep 20, 2018

Is it wrong to want to remove the larynx of footballers that call the manager; ‘The Gaffer’ ?

rob9872 · Sep 20, 2018

In all truth, to be honest no word of a lie, I'm now going to tell you some bull sh*t!

rob9872 · Sep 20, 2018

There are a number of things that irritate a grumpy old curmudgeon such as me. I have a particular dislike for some basic spoken grammar errors - "could of" and "pacifically" are possibly the worst, along with kids saying "like" or "literally" every other word.

However, the one that shouldn't irritate me quite as much as it does is "I personally" well if you've said "I" then there is no need for "personally" but having seen and heard it regularly, even more annoyingly it's started creeping into my own vocabulary - oral and written! Grrrrrrrr

Liquid Gold · Sep 20, 2018

I thought in my mind

Where else are you going to think?

Otis · Sep 20, 2018

In terms of football talk, it's fans who say 'heard it from a reliable source'

9 times out of 10 it's crap.

you mean like Jim the gateman !

The Great Eastern · Sep 20, 2018

People who say 'quite literally' who then go on to spout bullsh*t, should be shot at dawn.
Heard an American rock star (can't remember who) say once, 'I went out to play the gig having had a serious drink beforehand and, I literally died on stage.'
No you didn't you utter twat or you wouldn't be here telling us about it....

usskyblue · Sep 20, 2018

There’s no one else in the vicinity, but the dickhead still looks around and whispers;

‘Between you and me...’

Captain Dart · Sep 20, 2018

The lad gave 110%... proving most people in football lack a grasp of basic maths.

Westendlad · Sep 20, 2018

Yeah definitely'

A Pressley favourite that one. "The group were outstanding"

ovduk78 · Sep 21, 2018

"The lads put in a shift" or one of big Ron's favourites "They really set out their stall"
