Football is all about opinions
Hear this all the time. What does it even mean? There are winners and losers and goals and league positions; football if anything is pretty objective compared to, say, music and film and art, which are fairly subjective.
Goals win you games, clean sheets win you championships
Total drivel. Winning games win you championships. See also you need to score goals in this league etc [Post edited 23 Jan 2017 11:18]

The word "technical" bugs me.
As in "he's got good technical ability" Doesn't need the word technical. "He's got good ability" says it just the same without the extra word. All the pundits and experts use it and it drives me mad. |
Was called skill when I were a lad! |  | | |

Just offside.
Just? If the player is ahead of the last defender he'd be offside - just doesn't come into it. |  |

You're right - its not Walnut, nor are the words "Professional Foul" found anywhere in the laws either. | | | |

..a slightly more pedantic one but in the spirit of this thread, commentators crediting referees when a linear decision has been made, ie "x tucked it away but Styles ruled him offside" "y pulled it back for z to score but Andy Hall ruled the ball had gone out of play" | | | |

"The Man Utds and the Liverpools of this world..."
There's only one of each. At least in this world. Saturn or Jupiter may have a couple of each.
"The Messis and Ronaldos..."
There's another Messi? Has anyone signed him? Should we? |  |

There are at least two Ronaldos, to be fair. |  |

It only takes a second to score a goal - thus far, I've yet to see any team notch 5,400 goals in regular time!
He's nutmegged him - What, some bloke reduced a member of the opposition to a spice?
The ref bought that! - A neutral arbiter of the game, decided to procure a falsified foul by a player. Where was he when I started out selling office equipment in the late 80s?
The magic of the cup - So magical, no fokker bothers to go and nothing remotely Potteresque actually takes place: no rabbits or pigeons come out of the trophy etc. |  |

I often hear scored from 20,25 or 30 yards out. Did anyone measure the distance to be absolutely sure? Why not 21, 24 or 27 yards out? Or simply, scored with a decent long range shot. Who cares how far it was. And why are yards still being used? |  |

" he was in acres of space"! Shouldn't commentators these days be saying he was in 'hectares of space'? Younger generations just wouldn't understand what an acre was. Stupid term anyway. | |

''Should've put it into row Z''..
Sometimes this can be misleading.Row Z may not even exhist or it could be in a completely obscure part of the stadium not relevant to the defender in question.. [Post edited 24 Jan 2017 20:53]

when someone describes a certain midfielder as he can play the Quarter back role -WTF this isn't gridiron
he has a cultured left foot ?? what it goes to the opera and likes fine arts
he is a top player but not a top, top player (copyright Jamie redknobb) |  |
| And Bowles is onside, Swinburne has come rushing out of his goal , what can Bowles do here , onto the left foot no, on to the right foot
That’s there that’s two, and that’s Bowles

Well done for bringing up the "quarterback" thing, that one really riles me. It's a ridiculous saying. What next? "QPR have Scylla at long off"? Bah.
Here's another one: "Blah "missed" a penalty" used when the 'keeper saved it. That is not "missing" a penalty. Harumph.
