Word or phrases only commentators use...

[Meersbrook Blade]

I still say woodwork on occasions when a shot hits the post. When where goals changed from wood to metal? Pretty sure before I was born.

The government is trying to control us with vaccines

Back on the grass

… But i am back on the grass

 

[Kozzy_is_my_Dad]

The corridor of uncertainty….always makes me chuckle!

Otherwise used for when you're thinking of making a move on your missus at bedtime and you don't know what your chances are...

Akmehodzic it's Ahmedhodžić radio Sheff

According to the Bosnians at work it’s Arm Ed Hodge Itch
Perhaps Roygbiv is the one saying it correctly though

 

[Rufus Smalls]

“I would have paid to see this game”

Really winds me up…… EVERYONE in the stadium DO pay to watch the game, except you so called ‘studio experts and analysts’

 

[Shirty Blade]

'He has a nimble brain'

'The striker has sharp feet'

'It was a clinical finish'

'The ball could have gone anywhere'

'If he hit it on target, it would have been a goal'

 

[BaldyBlade]

Adjudged

 

[Guesty]

"They've got a lot of players who signed for big money...

Yer McBurnie's, yer Brewsters, yer Berge's."

Always make me think of that.

 

[Roygbiv]

According to the Bosnians at work it’s Arm Ed Hodge Itch
Perhaps Roygbiv is the one saying it correctly though

Highly doubtful

 

[Rusty view]

"And it's liiiiiive"

 

[HighfieldBlade]

That standard “apologies if you heard some inappropriate language there” phrase always makes me laugh

 

[ISZA ⚔️]

So and so has done this or that…. “And some!”

 

[Mag-83]

A phenomenal player

You’d have gone around there any night and found Redknapp hanging out the back of it

 

[Rochdaleblade]

unbelievable

 

[blader]

Did you smash it?

 

[Ned the Donkey]

"He's lost half a yard of pace."

Football is the only place anyone ever uses that measurement.... and in the wrong context.

Cricket too.

 

[Ned the Donkey]

'Potential banana skin'. Metaphysical nonsense.

So, a banana then...

 

[Ned the Donkey]

Clive Tyldesley (at least I think it was him) introduced quite a few eg

More up than out
Smuggled it out

spring to mind.

 

[Richeee]

Take the ' sting ' out of the game ???

 

[PokerBlade]

"They're hardworking, well organised, and dangerous from set pieces" - every commentator covering up that they've done no research

"We know he can hit them from here" - as opposed to other free kick takers, who cannot hit the ball

 

[Heely bottoms underpants]

"Every time I see a corner flag it reminds me of building sand castles on a Norfolk beach"

 

[broomhillblade]

"... and he knows it." (As in "That was a bad miss, and he knows it).

Of course he does. I think the legendary David Coleman started this one.

 

[Bla blade]

When he hits it, it stays hit....completely ignoring the laws of gravity and the principle of deceleration.

He's returned it with interest.... not heard lately due to bank base rates being so low.

 

[Champagneblade]

"look at those blue and white piggy c£&ts" is one of my faves

“If we weren’t in the division below, we’d be top 10 of the division above!”

Or something of that ilk!

I always thought that was wrong but apparently it's close, I guess the k is an easy way to sound like the back of the throat noise that we don't have in english
