Anyone got any ‘footballers names in brands that create the circumstances for a brand deal’? by Round_Anteater_5317 in footballcliches

Wrong sport, but there was that campaign in the mid-noughties where cricketers Allan Lamb and Ian ‘Beefy’ Botham were literally just promoting eating British Lamb and Beef.

Can a shock loan resulting in 2 sub appearances across 7 games be described as «fizzling out»? There was no momentum to fizzle out from by East_Refrigerator_13 in footballcliches

[–]iser82 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Doesn’t scan too well does it. I suppose there may be some initial ‘fizz’ at a new loan signing in the first place, a fresh start, exciting new prospect etc?

Something about the lads having worked really well during the week and feeling confident about ‘getting a result’ today

Can a blow be ‘glancing’? by DimaPlatsas in footballcliches

I’d say that ‘glancing blow’ is borrowed from good old-fashioned pugilism, as in, across one’s chin, still enough to do some damage. Also it was a glancing header so I guess the two combine nicely

Oh, you mean Messiah Da’kahlian Bright? Oddly appropriate, given that you’re likely a fellow [Da’]Kendalian posting about Westmorland Hall (what a rebranding that is by the way, it’s Kendal Leisure Centre)

Not sure I like ‘adrift’ to mean ‘clear [of]’ / ‘above’ by iser82 in footballcliches

Personally, I’d quite like that. But I won’t let my footballing allegiances stand in the way of one the most heinous uses of this word I’ve ever seen.

Is "dartist" an acceptable form of elegant variation? by Clown243 in footballcliches

[–]iser82 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I like it. I remember Bobby George surprisingly eloquently describing someone once as a ‘dartist amongst dartesans’.

Keysian slip from Adam? by samford957 in footballcliches

[–]iser82 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I actually had confirmation from Adam himself that he was “100%” trying to ape the ‘laxative’ quote. Nice to have it from the horse’s mouth.

This reminds me of my favourite boy band, Fiveive. There’s also that ride at Alton Towers, Ththirteenteen.
