The all new classic football cliche thread

[Poodler 2,055]

Reviving an old thread though couldn't find the actual one.

i saw someone writing that this result 'sounds the death knell' for mcinnes.

not sure what it means but it's a football classic.

I see Cerny decided to 'hang up his boots'.

[Fridge 249]

I’d he’d hit the target that would have been in. Aye no shit min.

If the referee sees that it’s a pen. Again no shit min (unless it’s against the Huns and he has his eyes shut.)

He'll be disappointed with that. 

Usually a massive fucking understatement

Should really work the keeper there. 

When it's usually harder not to score.

Game management. 

Good to have around the place

Meat and drink. 

 

How the fuck did 'bread and butter' end up becoming meat and fucking drink?

"adopting a high (or low) press"

it's just fucking marking

[Cambridge Red 10]

"Parked the team bus" which McInnes  thinks is the same as game management. Unfortunately game management requires at least one player who can defend!

Time ran away from us the longer the game went on

It comes from the sound of a church bell indicating the death of someone. 

[aberdeen1970 1,016]

We asked the question

[aberdeen1970 1,016]

'We're not ready to leave just yet' 

[Cambridge Red 10]

McInnes - "They asked us a question"  Shame you didn't know the fuckin answer you prick !!

Here it is in cricket
