Oh dear ...Hodgson "just launch it"

i love football cluches - love going to sunday league and using things like

"box 'em in" or "get on toes" "stand over it" - and my favorite...."these don't want it"

[Shaggy]

"these don't want it"

An old skipper of mine used to scream "HAVE A DIP!" every single time I got the ball within 35 yards. Used to do my ****ing nut in. First time I played for his side I scored a Shearer-esque 30 yard screamer and it obviously made quite an impression on him

"GAMBLE!" is also one of my favourites.

i remember when you get to the age that man on is the height of showing you knew about footy

i really hate people who can only shout hit iiiiittttt

[Alex]

I heard the other week when I played....."Jacks it" What does that mean??

Other things that piss me off are:

"Man on"
"Yes....Ball Side" WTF??
"Have a Dig"
"Yes, yes, yes ball"

[jonnygrunter]

"Man on"

whats wrong with that one? surely that is letting you know that you have a player behind you?

the others i do agree with though!

[Alex]

It annoys me, people say it when I already know. I suppose I should have qualified it. So yea, basically obvious Man on calls

[CJ]

i remember "get your yards"

which as an 8 year old who is taught using the metric system was interesting

[Fernandinho]

I love man on and and box them in.
