TheScarf Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 Just read an ICT post-match report from any newspaper. Or any pre or post match interview with a manager who's team is about to or has just played ICT. Or 98% of folk on here when talking about ICT. Cliche bingo overdrive IMO.

Albertlegend Posted November 23, 2013 Share Posted November 23, 2013 I hate "there was never 3 goals in it" after a 3-0 nil defeat, course there was they scored 3 you never! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monkey Tennis Posted November 24, 2013 Share Posted November 24, 2013 Another is managers/commentators saying that every ground, regardless of the opponents home record, is a 'hard place to come'. Yes, I'd say that's my current most annoying one. As you say, it's trotted out by managers, in relation to any away match at all and without any regard at all to how the opponents are doing. Pete Houston was always particularly mindless with such things as I recall. Another of mine is that description of a player or team doing something like passing or scoring "for fun". Drives me mad.

Raidernation Posted November 24, 2013 Share Posted November 24, 2013 Put his foot through the ball Oh and all the "murcisms" I have to cope with, not just on MLS coverage, but from UK commentators and "experts", such as "on frame" etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SodjesSixteenIncher Posted November 24, 2013 Share Posted November 24, 2013 St Mirren fans reminded me yesterday of "if it's not a foul, surely the ref has to book him for diving". Toap jogic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lou Brusch Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 People saying 'but he got the baw' then straight after 'doesn't matter any more if he played the ball' Easy way to sort it is to not stand and look gormless unless you hear a whistle?

banana Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 "They watered the pitch heavily all morning to give it that zip that the players like", yet the following week, "The light rain this morning has made for tricky conditions".

banana Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 "These new balls move in the air.", every time a new ball is released. Can someone who was around in the olden days, say pre 90s, confirm that football used to be played with a pigskin-covered cannonball? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Connell Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 "Manchester United are never more dangerous than when they're a goal down" Aye, cuz when they're 3-0 up, anyone can beat them. Oh and all the "murcisms" I have to cope with, not just on MLS coverage, but from UK commentators and "experts", such as "on frame" etc. I'm in Colorado and feel your pain. Although we can blame Tommy Smyth for many of them. "P.K. spot" for penalty spot is one that always ticked me off. Also his inanities like "Ronaldo just couldn't get his big toe on that one" or "Liverpool really need to start attacking more". Then 2 minutes later when Liverpool get the ball near the goal "Just like I predicted, Liverpool are now attacking more". Then the one which made me grind my teeth and start considering a gun collection. "Right in the back of the ol' onion bag." Twat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
