    Things that you just don’t see/hear anymore…

    Was thinking earlier on today about how you never hear anyone call a throw-in a “shy” anymore. When did throw-in take over? Was “shy” just a Scottish thing?

    What other things do you just not see/hear in sports anymore? You never see Baseball players in stirrups anymore and you never see footballers rubbing vix on their jersey nowadays.

    Bye kick seems to have been all but replaced by goal kick. You also rarely see a keeper just booting it long from hand now. It's always a side volley or kicked from ground. Also goalies wearing caps.

    Rugby players using sand for penalties and conversions.

    Bare foot kickers in the NFL.

    I read the other day that the single handed backhand is also on the way out in tennis.

    I think it might be Michael Stewart that sometimes calls it a shy when commentating?

    Not a term I ever used but did hear it sometimes from other players back in the day.

    I always thought it was a proper Edinburgh thing in my younger days.

    Centre back seems to have replaced the old definition of the word "Pivot."

    However in the modern game I've also seen "pivot" occasionally used to describe the central midfield player.

    It's still called a shy in shinty.

    You never see rugby players wearing gloves any more, and pulling socks up above the knees in football seems to have died out a bit.

    "Crack" European outfit, used by Scottish journos to describe the likes of Dukla Prague or Gornik Zabrze back in the 60s/70s.

    Gutties - whether on your feet, or on the golf course!
    The "penny tray" in the sweetie shop.
    Actually change that to just sweetie shops.
    My Nana used to work in one on Princes Street. Imagine the rates these days. It would have to be a "pound tray" at least.

    Yep Michael Stewart still calls it a shy. I commented during the Netherlands vs Scotland game that he must be the one of the few people that still calls it that.

    Jack Grealish has entered the chat.

    Actually players like Grealish are increasingly a rarity these days. Guys who seem to remember that football is entertainment as well as sport and look like they enjoy playing the game.

    Maybe there is a correlation between attitude and sock height?

    Went to Tenerife a couple of years ago with my mates, and it was a hotel you needed your key card to enter through numerous doors to get about.

    My mate ozzy lost his, and when he arrived at the bar a bit disheveled, we asked him what was wrong?

    Ozzy is Scottish, and he said he had to shimmy up on a wall, and dreep down the other side.

    I was the only one out of 8 of us who knew what he meant.
