I always used to think that the Football phrase 'running the Channels', a favourite of Brian Marwood , was code for 'A striker that couldn't score in a hellbanianz East Ham Knocking shop with a £50 note wrappred round his cock'.
I'm afraid to say that I'm old enough to know that the False 9, AKA the Revie Plan, was a tactical system devised by Don Revie when playing for Man City in the 1950's. Revie became a deep lying centre forward who started attacks by dropping deep to collect the ball in midfield and thus luring the opposition centre half out of position, his inside forward colleagues would then fill into the vacated space and cause confusion amongst the opposition defence (this in the days of the classic 2-3-5 formation). Using this system Man City reached the Cup Final two years in succession, losing in 1955 and winning in 1956.

Blimey, didn't realise it was that old. Maybe we should just stick Grant Hall in the number 9 shirt then. That'll confuse them.

Revie was a genius. He also worked for NASA on experimental stuff for the moon landings. And of course set the foundations for Leeds to become champions of Europe.

Yep, this system was first introduced to world football by the Hungarians who used their deep lying centre forward, Hidegkuti (in the space that Revie would later make his own) most famously when becoming the second foreign team to beat England in our own back yard - Wembley 1953. It was big news then because we'd never lost at Wembley, our only previous home defeat being against Ireland in a friendly played at Goodison Park in 1949.

So OM if we hadn't lost before at Wembley and they were the second foreign team to beat us 'in our own back yard' do you know who was the first and where was it played?

I remind myself more and more everyday of that 'not the 9 oc lock news' high court Judge..

Come on mate, get it sorted. When Jo has finished doing her lashes (face or car) get here to download the app for you and then just pm me your mobile number and I'll de othe rest...
I’m in my 40’s and until recently, I thought throw-ins were throw-ons. I need to find out whether this is something I picked-up from my Dad, and if so, is he still referring to throw-ons in his mid-70’s?
My tactical understanding of football hasn’t really evolved since I was about eight, so I’m not certain I fully understand what the second ball is. It’s a recent development - I’m sure second balls didn’t exist until about ten years ago. I think a SKY pundit made them up and now every cu nt bangs on about winning the second ball.

Your old man from Embra could/should have called it a 'shy' abritdifferent.wordpress.com/tag/scottish-slang/
You've obviously made that up yourself Konk!
Tbf you only hear people of that generation calling it a shy now
I thought I had got over my prejudices about how bad women's football was and thought I'd give this City v Ars Cup final a go on BT today, but fck me, it is truly, truly awful.
I see no point watching a game played by players clearly no better than the standard I played.
2. Who is Jesse Smollett? And what is that all about?
3. Who is that person at the end of Clive’s West Brom report? I don’t get it.
4. Why is everything baffling?
5. Is everything just noise all the time?
We all need to drop acid andxwear flares.
You must have been a QPR fan since 1961 - like me - that lot breaking your heart is normal - but we always come back for more, It's the blue and white hoops - they are the ultimate drug.

My Dad only lived in Edinburgh as a little kid, then his family moved back down to North London - he’s the only Scot in the family, but he was there long enough to become a hibby. I’m seeing him in a couple of weeks, so I’ll quiz him then! PS. I’ve never heard the shy thing before, so thanks for that. GGTTH.
Pretty sure I never heard anyone say it in the seventies or the eighties and then sometime in the nineties Ron Atkinson used the expression and now everyone uses it. What is the facination with early doors?
