I'm a bit bored today...
What would you classify as some of the most annoying phrases ever used in football? Whether it's commentary, football players/managers themselves, your friends?
I personally can't stand "that's your/our bread and butter" instead of 'the basics'

A lot of footballers also look as if their brain has been scooped out their head just moments before doing an interview on TV as well...

The amount of players and the amount of times its said starts to get annoying... when they say ''you know'' in a pre/post match interview

Commentators who illustrate their ignorance of the laws wuth comments like "he lifted his hands, he has to go" or "he was the last man, he has to go". Or when they(usually Andy Gray) suggests the ref should "show some common-sense".

"They're a well organised side", "borderline offside", "they didn't clear their lines", "went down like a sack of spuds". There's about a million of them, what was Collins' favourite? "They did ever so well."

If your guys gave 110% and my guys gave 150%, would the guys giving 200% beat us? At the end of the day, you have to grasp the nettle and give 1000% to stand any chance, you know! I'm proud of their effort despite getting beat 5 - 0, you cant fault them. Originally Posted by shan_lambert

"2 good teams who like to get the ball down and play football...." said by every pundit before every game on radio Scotland.
Do they ever watch the games in the SPL??

"I'm sure we can go to Ibrox and get a result"
Well, duh! A 5-0 doing is a result. A result is the minimum expectation from a football match!
"Playing in the hole"
More apt for those who frequent the hostelries of George St for a post match libation.
"Square baw"
"A game of two halves where football was the winner!"
"A great advert for Scottish football"
"Mutual Consent"
"The Family Final" - A patronising designation appended to a national cup final which is not contested by either of the abominations from the West.
"Scotland needs the Old Firm!" - aye, as much as a post menopausal wifie needs a tampon!

The striker took the penalty and "sent the keeper the wrong way".
The keeper didn't just guess wrong then? Nope the striker magically confused the keeper into diving the wrong way.

"All sorts of problems" -
(Murdo McLeod the worst offender)
"Hopefully" - the most overused word in football
"The jury's still out" - We can blame Stormin Norman in Desert Storm for that one.
"Play it wide" - Everybody says it but nobody actually does it.
"The old onion bag" - Irish commentator's name for the goal net
"Vote of Confidence" - the football lingo equivalent of "You will be taken from this court and hanged by the neck until dead".
"The players wurny up for it" - Then get ones in that urr and bin the ones that urny.

“Eight points from 11 games is nowhere near good enough,” the midfielder said, “We have got to step up to the plate and take the bull by the horns.""At the end of the day, we all aspire to bigger things in our lives but one thing I can truly say from my heart is if I never kick a ball for one of these bigger clubs I would be delighted to stay with Hibs for the rest of my career. That's how highly I regard this club." Ivan Sproule

The word "literally" is never used correctly.
"The defender literally cut him in two" - Aye, cos he keeps a chainsaw in his back pocket.

"plays up top"
Its up front!!! do defenders play down bottom
"Its the final pass which lets them down" Of course every move ends with the final pass!!!!!!!!!!! Its not going to be the 3rd last pass which breaks down the move is it
