Sergeant Wilson Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 (edited) 2 hours ago, Alert Mongoose said: I see this type of musing all the time, most recently in the Ayr thread as an example. There are ten teams in the league- why do some teams' fans deserve better and be top of the league. By definition therefore some fans deserve worse - why? Are there any other footballing statements you find confusing? Football supporters tend to think their club's highwater mark is/should be the norm. In your example Ayr supporters think that the brief period when Bill Barr was chucking money at them and challenging in the league and cups. Apply the same principle to any number of clubs.

invergowrie arab Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 United just lack that little bit of quality in the final third. In the other two we would be a match for most Champions League outfits. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VictorOnopko Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 "we're the team you come to when you need three points" "referees know the rules but don't understand the game" "goals change games"* *I understand that last one but I am always baffled when commentators bother to say it. We know that! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheScarf Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 ‘We deserve better’ is the shout of a moron. Usually from a fan of a club who did better than expected the season before and now expect that level of performance every season from now on when they regress back to their natural level/league position. You don’t deserve ‘better’, you deserve the same as the fans of literally every other club that exists. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExiledLichtie Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 15 minutes ago, BFTD said: Scottish football needs a strong Celtgers/Dundee United/Hearts/Hibernian/Auckinleck Talbot. On a related note: "We just want a club to support" Usually said by fans holding collection buckets, after they've spent the previous few seasons lording it up about how gloriously successful they are. Also anything related to "investment". Football fans have a weird idea of what "investment" is, as it seems to apparently consist of chucking money into a bottomless pit of wages and transfers. Do "investors" make a profit? Do they get a return on their "investment"? No. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I meant that "I didn't fight in two World Wars just to..." isn't a phrase you hear anymore. You absolutely used to, though.

Weirdly during that period I listened to the generation above me bemoan that we weren't the same team as we were in the late 60's early 70's So you're onto something here 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salvo Montalbano Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 1 hour ago, Rudolph Hucker said: "early doors". The f**k does that even mean?? And are there LATE doors somewhere that nobody ever bothers with? In the old golden era of music hall theatre they'd often have two performances - the matinee or early show, then the evening or late show. Your ticket would have the time the doors opened on it and would be for "early doors" or "late doors" depending on which you were going to see. I quite like that we still use it; I'd rather that than people talking about registas and trequatristas as if they were writing reports for the Gazetta dello Sport 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Fernández Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 'Get us back to where we belong'. When a supporter of a team thinks they should be in a higher division than they currently are.

Utdtillidie2 Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 2 hours ago, CountryBumpkin said: "Something something left foot", never hear the same said about right footed players. And worst of all, the absolute misuse of "just about". As in, the keeper "just about kept that out" after making a save. Yes, this! When commentators say “the ball just about got over the line” or “just about kept it in”. It either did or it didn’t. End of. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walter Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 "They're playing with two up top". Are they playing with a line of four down bottom? Is Brian Graham a centre top? When did we start playing zero gravity football? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richey Edwards Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 To be, or not to be: that is the question: Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune, Or to take arms against a sea of troubles, And by opposing end them? To die: to sleep; No more; and by a sleep to say we end The heart-ache and the thousand natural shocks That flesh is heir to, 'tis a consummation Devoutly to be wish'd. To die, to sleep; To sleep: perchance to dream: ay, there's the rub; For in that sleep of death what dreams may come When we have shuffled off this mortal coil, Must give us pause: there's the respect That makes calamity of so long life; For who would bear the whips and scorns of time, The oppressor's wrong, the proud man's contumely, The pangs of despised love, the law's delay, The insolence of office and the spurns That patient merit of the unworthy takes, When he himself might his quietus make With a bare bodkin? who would fardels bear, To grunt and sweat under a weary life, But that the dread of something after death, The undiscover'd country from whose bourn No traveller returns, puzzles the will And makes us rather bear those ills we have Than fly to others that we know not of? Thus conscience does make cowards of us all; And thus the native hue of resolution Is sicklied o'er with the pale cast of thought, And enterprises of great pith and moment With this regard their currents turn awry, And lose the name of action.--Soft you now! The fair Ophelia! Nymph, in thy orisons Be all my sins remember'd! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
