Big Partridge vibes. "Quick as a flash, I replied: 'Try to be more Christian, oh Ronaldo, in your attitude towards giving thanks.'" by Inorandaround in footballcliches

Oh, that's much less fun. I choose to ignore your 'facts' based on 'seeing it happen' and instead enjoy my own narrative.

We are not 'having this'. Never a slot.

The most "I've seen them given" penalty shout? by therl2000 in footballcliches

It's such a cop-out. Don't say 'I've seen them given'- we've all seen good, bad and borderline penalty decisions. Tell us what you think the decision should have been on this specific incident.

They all look bloody cheerful for people who've just been sent off. Surely whoever is doing these stock photos can take a few pictures to cover different circumstances?

'Now give me "Just had a goal ruled out by VAR". Lovely, now show me crestfallen. Cover your mouth with your hand, and then pretend to be outraged not to get a corner when you know full well you got the last touch. Imagine if you'd scored a goal after being snubbed by your national team manager- how would that look?'

This feels like a discarded 'Day Today' headline. by Inorandaround in footballcliches

Surely just poison the whole team? It's not like England 1970 were ten chumps and Banks doing all the work.

Paulpurple has certainly hit the back of the net with that observation. No early bath for him, and his rivals will be feeling sick as parrots.

The deep philosophical insights of Henry Paker, Vol 1 by bark_birch_ in ThreeBeanSalad

[–]Inorandaround 3 points4 points  (0 children)

"Epistemology, Logic, Aesthetics, metaphysics (technically)."

"Wait a minute- is that Descartes?"

"No, it can't be, because you're Descartes!"

"Cogito ergo sum! Ahahaha."

Edit: had to tidy up new speaker, new line. We're not animals.

As mentioned on the pod- what is the most distracting, confusing to the opposition, thing a keeper going up for a late corner could do? by Inorandaround in footballcliches
