Crewton Posted September 23 Share Posted September 23 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" jono, hintonsboots, Gabby'sThighs and 1 other 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gabby'sThighs Posted September 23 Share Posted September 23 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, jono and Crewton 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JuanFloEvraTheCocu'sNesta Posted September 23 Share Posted September 23 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. jono 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KBB Posted September 23 Share Posted September 23 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 September 23 Share Posted September 23 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? Chester40, hintonsboots, Alph and 4 others 5 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
