Crewton Posted yesterday at 08:34 Share Posted yesterday at 08:34 The "Active Present Perfect" tense, that is almost unique to football. Example: "Didsy's gone down the right, he's beaten the full-back and crossed it, and I've stuck it in the onion bag" Gabby'sThighs and hintonsboots 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gabby'sThighs Posted yesterday at 10:16 Share Posted yesterday at 10:16 I can't stand "in and around", and it gets used all the bloody time. "In and around the box" sort of makes sense. Do you just mean in the box? In the box and around it are pretty different. "in and around the keeper"? do you mean "near the keeper"? "he's used all his experience" usually means a CB cheated just enough to not give away a free kick. Bob Gnarly and Crewton 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JuanFloEvraTheCocu'sNesta Posted yesterday at 12:57 Share Posted yesterday at 12:57 Every pundit and commentator in the history of football has failed to understand the actual distance represented by the phrase 'half a yard'. It seems to range from anywhere from 6 inches to 6 feet in their collective minds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KBB Posted yesterday at 18:56 Share Posted yesterday at 18:56 Any freekick 30 yards out. Decent set piece taker? This is in "Beckham territory" This is in "idiakez territory" Another one is "corridor of uncertainty" when a ball goes between keeper and defenders 6 yards out. hintonsboots 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

uttoxram75 Posted 22 hours ago Share Posted 22 hours ago Transition. When did that word suddenly have a football meaning. I played football for 25 years and never once heard it mentioned. Does it mean someone has won a tackle and passed it forward? EtoileSportiveDeDerby, hintonsboots, Crewton and 2 others 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
