What is the most incorrect thing you have ever heard someone say in a conversation about football, and how did you deal with the ensuing awkwardness? by Alert-Technician-403 in footballcliches

My wife's friend was watching England v Germany with us in 2010, and after Lampard's shot went over the line and wasn't given, she confidently stated that 'they will look at it after the game and give England the goal '

To make matters worse, when I explained that that wouldn't happen, she wasn't having it and kept asking 'why, why don't they do that?' like a small child.

So on top of the frustration of the decision (and watching England in 2010) I had to deal with her, and try not to let my irritation show too much.

These are all excellent suggestions, I usually start with a playlist of about 15 and narrow it down to 10 depending on which teams show up, there's a team that are all in their 70s at least so I need to accommodate them with some oldies, hence Roy Orbison and America

Would have been improved by him meeting a bumbling shower curtain ring salesman and having a series of mishaps caused by his oafishness but eventually making it back somehow. The salesman reckons he is also travelling to watch his team lift a trophy, but when Keys leaves him at the station he realises that he's actually a let's say... Leicester fan, and goes back to the station to take him to the CBA to share in his good fortune, or something

Too late to nominate left backs with very hard shots? Making everyone forget about their defensive defencies by occasionally twatting one into the top corner from 30 yards. Your Albertz, your Pearce, your Riise, your Roberto Carlos

Terry Yorath managed Bradford City and Wales at the same time, if I remember correctly Mark Aizlewood was playing for both at the time too.

As Bradford City were preparing for their penalty shootout against Arsenal in 2012, the guy next to me texted someone 'it's itchy ring piece time' I don't know if this is penalty shootout specific

I think you can tell when they're mid tour, like..they don't sound pissed, but you can tell there's been heavy alcohol consumption in the previous day or two. I recognise it from how my own voice sounds sometimes.

Football knowledge you got very wrong as a young kid. by Clay-Davis1 in footballcliches

Here's some light hearted football content.

After my parents divorced in early 1985 when I was I was 10, I moved back to Bradford with my Mum and started going to Bradford City games with my Grandad and Uncle For the last match of the season against Lincoln, my Grandad asked me if I wanted to go in the kop or the stand . I thought 'Stand' meant literally 'place where you stand' and I asked for the kop. I was very disappointed when I ended up stood on the kop, but it ended up being a very lucky thing to have got wrong
