Commentators clichés

[temperance]

A coming together. Just pish

Suttons go to phrase when Rangers get a free kick or penalty.

 

[AuldYin58]

Bed.

 

[AuldYin58]

Bed.

Looks like I had a stutter during the night.

 

[Monty_greenock34]

"First and foremost"

 

[scottie626]

remember this is "Beckham territory "

 

[56 ASAP]

Front foot, back foot !!

My two are side by side.

 

[Skoosh1872]

I hate when they pluralise everything when discussing teams. The likes if your Goldsons and Lundstums and wright's. No its Goldson Lundstram and Wright there aren't multiple players at Rangers or any team with that name. Does my head in or should that be heads

That’s Kenny Miller’s trademark

 

[Albert Bridge Bear]

Gary Neville with his ‘big moment’ when a goal goes in…Obviously a goal is a big moment.

 

[Blaze Of Glory]

Arthur Montford always seemed to use the phrase "Out in front" when the ball was in the six yard box followed by something along the lines of. "And it's there. Goal for Scotland. What. A. Goal".

 

[Bluetill]

He’s got that in his locker
His favorite left foot. (As against the one he hates)
Just about cleared it. He did just clear it.
Any record which doesn’t count the old English First Division

Do miss Tam saying “ Aribo’s Velcro boots”

God I hate that "he's got that in his locker"does my head in.

Nothing to do with football but two crackers I heard this week from TV was. In the Apprentice final. One of the finalists Phil owned a chain of Pie shops. His mission was to open a pie company for the final. One of the former contestants thought it would be a good idea to call the company. "Phil My Pie"

In the Aldi's next big thing, they had to make a confectionery product. While tasting one of the products the female presenter stated that she was a "biter and not a sucker."

He’s hit the woodwork.

When were goalposts last made of wood?

 

[Vallance]

After a player loses the plot, goes through opponent at knee height and puts opponent out for 6 months. " He's not that type of player"

 

[SaulBearenson]

Does the tone, rhythm, and syntax of Scottish commentators count as a cliche? They seem to favour an oddly high nasal tone, quite different from their natural speaking voices, which they then use to elongate most words and manage to sound as uninterested as they can.

Suppose it's just another branch of joylessness attached to Scottish football

 

[Tiny_Kilby_Loyal]

Used to be an English commentator years ago, first goal in every game he'd just name the player and follow it by one nil. Used to do my fkn head in for some reason

Motson?

Also, they feel the need to be "comedians" when erm anlysing games.

I've yet to see one of these 'little pockets of space'

 

[Beanzie]

"Hand Bags" when a wee fight breaks out

 

[Timardim]

He’s hit the woodwork.

When were goalposts last made of wood?

Or even saved by the woodwork ....when did they ever move..?

 

[Shengus Malengus]

"It's in the back of the net".

No it's not. It's in the front of the net.

The other side of the net is the back.

 

[Fingers1872]

Motson?

I honestly can't remember, I don't think it was Motson though.

It's "favoured left-foot", as in, he favours his left foot, usually as a result of being left-footed

 

[Numanloyal]

Why does that annoy?

If they are saying it, it is generally the case no?

Pointless phrase if its said every week
