What's happened to our beautiful game???

 

[Wolfman jack]

False No 9

 

[Wolfman jack]

Inverted full back.

 

[Jawwfc]

I hate when they describe blatant cheating as "smart play"

 

[stever]

I hate when they describe blatant cheating as "smart play"

"Taking one for the team"

 

[wolfslair]

"Taking one for the team"

Professional foul

 

[Jawwfc]

Industrial language is another new phrase been churned out.

 

[purplepault69]

Man U , Chelsea , Arsenal

 

[Spitfire]

Low block . Hate it, not sure why.

 

[topcat99]

Won a foul

 

[stever]

They just dropped it in the Sunderland game

 

[stever]

Low block . Hate it, not sure why.

Same here. Awful BS

 

[Alonewolf]

The big 6

 

[Harpenden Wolf]

Don’t forget “overloaded”

 

[Darvo]

Not sure pundits use this one but … ‘project’ gets right on my tits. My football club is not, never has been and never will be a ‘project’.

 

[derbyrameater]

Some mixers use the same phrases.

 

[Loojay]

"Pocket of space", also known as, you know, space

 

[Jefe]

I hate when they describe blatant cheating as "smart play"

Yeah. When pundits call a dirty chop on a player who is advancing up the pitch, a "really good foul to give away". Heard Murphy and others use it. Even if it goes on tacitly and unspoken, to admit it and frame it as a positive is so cynical it makes my skin crawl. They're the sort of people who would agree with Spurs' hatchet job on Traore a couple of seasons ago. There are still impressionable kids listening to you, you cretin.

 

[WolfInSheep'sClothing]

Low block . Hate it, not sure why.

Because the correct phrase is "parking the bus"

 

[Contrarian]

"Let's leave this live match and go over and watch the Manchester United players getting off their team bus for their match later".

 

[Wolvessince63]

Felt a touch and went down

 

[Thank you Sir Jack]

iPad

 

[Chisels_n_ommers]

Player of the match (as man of the match is deemed inappropriate in the men's game now)

 

[SteveBullsKnee]

Industrial language is another new phrase been churned out.

Not sure that’s new. It’s what David Ellery sent Duncan Ferguson off for in 1998. His report actually stated “use of industrial language”

 

[sedgwolf1980]

Low block is one million percentage the worst. Absolute nonsensical saying, said by people who were gimps at school, never played football till they were 16, and support players as opposed to their local team.

High press is up there.

Describing a blatant cheating dive as clever.

Finally, anyone condoning the use of VAR, in anyway shape or form.

 

[jrpb-3]

That’s a foul anywhere else on the pitch

High press I don't mind so much. It was when the world was talking about gegenpressing as though the Germans invented it.

 

[jrpb-3]

Missed a penalty. When the keepers made a good save

 

[Blast tyrant]

He was entitled to go down

 

[JJ59]

Used to hate;

Early doors
the channels
In the pocket

I'll stop there before using the full MOTD dictionary.

 

[Clipboard]

"VAR will review it of course". Like **** they will.

 

[Royal wolf]

Used all of his experience

 

[Justawolf]

Won a foul

 

[SA Wolf]

Not exactly the point of this thread, but I had to yell at Youtube twice this morning while listening to the Judah/Kean Vlog on last night's game, when Kean said, not once, but twice, that Doyle had scored his 'first Premier League goal'. It was the FA Cup, you plank!

 

[Hanbury_Wolf]

The refs used common sense


Pretty sure there's a rule book for decision making

 

[stever]

In and out of possession.

FFS

 

[Wagstaffe Was Magic]

Simulation

Why not just call it what it is …. CHEATING

 

[GoldenHorseshoe]

Some mixers use the same phrases.

And some use even worse, I'll give you a couple;
Flatter to deceive,
Bang average

Absolutely.

Also anyone suggesting that anything is more than 100%

 

[Contrarian]

From the Don Goodman book of things to say:

(When a Wolves player goes down): "It's a contact sport and there was not enough contact for me. That's never a foul in a million years."
(When a Wolves opponent goes down): "Yes there's minimal contact but he had every right to go down. That's smart play to win the foul. The Wolves player is naive to ever thing he'd get away with that. That's a free kick every time".

Listen out for it, he does this with variations on every one of our matches he commentates on.
