Gaz FFC Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 When some football commentators and pundits insist on pronouncing some footballer's names wrongly, even though everyone else around them are pronouncing it correctly. "De-Matt-eee-o" and "Yagielka" are two I've heard recently that have irritated me. I've noticed a lot of commentators saying "he just about keeps it in" when he does keep it in. Or "he just about prevents the corner" when he does prevent the corner. WTF?????? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Granny Danger Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 People who think they can walk along busy, crowded streets whilst texting then wonder how they are almost knocked off their feet. Saw one woman exiting a Metro train whilst pushing a buggy and texting, stopped halfway through the door whilst the door closing signal is sounding. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Connolly Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 I've noticed a lot of commentators saying "he just about keeps it in" when he does keep it in. Or "he just about prevents the corner" when he does prevent the corner. WTF?????? Add in "looking a bit leggy" for someone who is tired. If he "didn't have the legs" to catch something, surely being leggy would be beneficial? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DA Baracus Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 I've noticed a lot of commentators saying "he just about keeps it in" when he does keep it in. Or "he just about prevents the corner" when he does prevent the corner. WTF?????? Yes, this 100%! It irritates me immensely. It's up there with the misuse of 'literally' by football commentators ("no, he isn't actually on fire", "no, bringing a silver platter onto the football pitch, putting the ball on it, then serving it to a team mate is somewhat of an infringement of the rules"). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monster Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 I got three new pairs of Adidas Originals in December, but now their Adidas UK site is having a massive sale and I'm having to desperately talk myself out of buying another fucking pair. Ayrgirl will kill me, but c'mon, £28 for a pair of Campus 2? £32 for a pair of Beckenbauer Allrounds? It's a crime NOT to buy them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get them bought, you're just scoring one for men everywhere after years of women having too many shoes. One in the eye for every wannabe Emelda Marcos. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raidernation Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 Pronouncing Serie A as "Ceeriaaaah Ahhhh" There's only one fucking "a" in there you morons! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swampy Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 Pronouncing Serie A as "Ceeriaaaah Ahhhh" There's only one fucking "a" in there you morons! "Ser-ee-eh ah" is perfectly correct. Whether or not you pronounce it "ser-eh' ah" or "ser-ee-eh ah" is simply down to preference and accent. The -ie ending is approximate to the -ah in English, but in this case it elides into the "ah" so it can be skipped. It's not because it doesn't exist. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lou Brusch Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 #cut4bieber is quite annoying now. People are cutting themselves because 4chan said that 'Justin Bieber smokes weed', and people are telling other people to stop talking about it which in turn means more people are talking about it 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
