I hate it when football correspondents use totally inappropriate terminology - surely a header can't be described as a "strike"...? news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/europe/8254289.stmAnother one I hate is when the word "tie" is used to describe a league game... Anyone got any others?  ;D |

I hate "ply their trade" when referring to a player who has dropped down a division or two. |

I had a mate at school who thought that "injury time" was the few minutes at the end of every game when players were allowed to go out and foul all the opposing team's players...
;D

When the ball goes out for a corner and fans otherwise silent clap slightly provoking the atmosphere's ''building'' e.g fulham,

Don't be so ridiculous Dave. Wilko thinks it's the only time when you're not allowed to foul everyone. |

I always look out for war references in commentary:
The defence are digging in
Arial bombardment
Well regimented
One that does my head in though is 'agricultural'.

'6-pointer' ...don't even get me started!! . Don't see the problem with 6-pointer. It's valid in a lot of cases. |

'Shot at goal' when applied to Salif's foot coming into contact with the ball.
Totally inappropriate!

"He had the 'keeper beaten" when the ball hits the post or goes wide ??? It just doesn't make sense?

Anything David Pleat mumbles. Useless cunt. David Pleat is the best thing since sliced bread, where else would you get quotes like these... ''I've just noticed something interesting, the left and right backs have both got long sleeve shirts on" "He's nerveless and full of dancing" "Ukrania" "As touches go that was pretty touchy" "He looks confident in his brown shoes...always wears brown shoes...in the dugout area in his brown shoes" After Gillingham go 2 - 0 up in the Play Off Final against Man City: "Game over now no way back for Man City" Five minutes later after Man City score two goals: "I told you that the game wasn't over they were never out of it" Pleat: ''The ball was rolling when Fabregas played the ball perhaps that's why they're complaining Peter'' Peter Drury: ''David it wasn't a free kick it was a drop ball it's allowed to roll'' "Of course Ronaldo is Manchester United's key player, but we must not forget Milan's Ronaldo...Kaka" (despite Milan's Ronaldo at the time being, well, Ronaldo "Gareth Southgate's got a broad chest, but he's going to have to take it on the chin" "Look how heavy the defender's legs are" "A few South Americans in this Porto team. Three Romanians and three Portuguese. We should be in for some Samba action tonight" "The Romans are now disappearing, on the bus, trains or where ever they live" "I always thought Justin Hoyte was right footed but it seems like he has improved his left foot too. He's played well at left back for Arsenal today" (commenting on the match where Armand Traore was playing left back and Justin Hoyte was on the bench) |
