midds Posted July 30, 2011 Share Posted July 30, 2011 i may have posted this before, but i abhor, detest & utterly despise the use of the phrase, "on frame". afaik it's only usa commentators that use it, & it's a ridiculous attempt to have their own soccer jargon. it also is factually incorrect! What's the context of said phrase mate? Never heard it. it's said by commentators when what they really mean is "on goal". "so&so needs to do better in that situation & at least get his shot on frame..." they think they're being so innovative with soccer jargon--- arrgh! Ah right, frame is such a shit word to use in that situation. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Village Idiot Posted July 30, 2011 Share Posted July 30, 2011 First time I heard it I thought they meant the player had hit the post. "turnover" is a favorite of mine, such an americanism. Sometimes I use it to annoy people. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Revolution Number 9 Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 It annoys me how so many bitter Man Utd fans are constantly trying to take away from how good the current Barca side is by whinging on about their play acting. Was a different fucking story when they were trying to tell us all Ronaldo was the best player in the world. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
John P Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 When pundits say 'your Gerrards and your Lampards of this world.' What the fuck are you talking about? Just say Gerrard and Lampard. Im not aware of any other football-playing planet so 'of this world' isn't really necessary is it? Such a stupid fucking phrase that a lot of pundits use. Boils my piss.

Conjo Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 I hate armchair fans of one of the "big four" whoever they are these days who claim a certain club has no history. When what they really mean is that that club has no premiership history. Football wasn't invented by Rupert Murdoch and existed before the premier league of greed came along. And in recent years I have grown to despise team England. Agree, but on the other hand, another pet hate of mine is people claiming one club is bigger than another because it has more trophies even if they are not relevant anymore, and backing it up with "football existed before the premier league".

Hanshithispantz Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 I detest trophies been brought into debates about club size like, the term "big club" is subjective, but historical success has fuck all to with it unless it actualy has an effect on revenue/pulling power in the modern day (Liverpool for example) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jdckelly Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 right need to get this off my chest, the following has done my head in lately no 1: only going to big games, this is a league of ireland exclusive, last week Cork (my local side) played Shelbourne in the biggest game of the season league wise so far and about 3000 attended, good turn out for the league in general and a good time was had by all as we won 4-1, the following monday another home game, semi final of the league cup over here against Limerick and considering that the club was only reformed last year (after a farcical last year for the old Cork before it died including the club captain having to go on local radio to get some cash from people to pay the overdue bill to the bus company or they wouldn't be able to get to the game that night) its a great achievement, the attendance had dropped by 1000 to about 2000, now where in gods name were the extra 1000 people who had showed up for the previous game? its only a tenner in the door so hardly bank breaking. I know the standard of the league isn't great but there are plenty of people who are football fans but wouldn't dare darken the door of a league of ireland ground. no2 control freak refs, really bugs me when refs get fussy about quick free kicks (in utterly non threatening positions) calling it back to be retaken or don't play advantage when theres a clear advantage Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cajun Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 Lower league teams who muster up 7,000 to take to Old Trafford and the likes too. Not that I'm a model supporter, I'm awful. Stevenage Borough football club. People say I don't know about the rivalry between Newcastle and Sunderland because I don't come from the area and they are right but as soon as that game was drawn last season I reckon I got a good idea. The amount of small time cunts going on about revenge an desperate for a ticket. But what made it worse were the hoards of "Stevenage fans" who hadn't been to the shit little ground since their old man took them for a day out 20 years ago and have supported Man U, Arsenal, Spurs, Chelsea every since but now this game comes along they are Stevenage through and through. Moron to a man and despite talk of going to the next game (Reading I think) not one of the wankers actually went and haven't been back for a single game since. Didn't know much about the club the first time around but working with a lot of people that live there now it really opened my eyes and I have some quite venoment banter even now with their "fans".

I'm a big shamrock rovers fan as well as Newcastle and go almost every week to tallaght to watch them. But the amount as part-time fans is incredible. Example the Copenhagen match the other week tallaght stadium was packed because we were only 1-0 down on aggerate and had a good shot at a major upset and a historic result for the whole nation. The next match tonight in tallaght against ucd we won 6-0 but there was no one at the game and no atmosphere a huge contrast to the champions league game. If we had teh support we did against cophenagen in the LOI every week it could really spur the club forward but unfortunately people just aren't bothered or loyal and are only interested in big matches.

On the other hand people who are always on hand with opinions of players. There's no shame in having not heard of or watched a certain player, yet there's a few usual suspects on here who always claim to have watched even the most obscure players and teams play countless times and offer their own insight.
