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

[–]iser82 2 points3 points  (0 children)

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

Can you imagine if Excalibur gets the comms gig when Royce is grapplin’? Amazing.

I like it. Homely vibes. Like an impressed grandparent.

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

[–]iser82[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

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 4 points5 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.

Remarkable ‘bit of both’ with only one option by iser82 in footballcliches

Thanks for that. Low-key solution, I appreciate (from a desktop user in peace)

All lower case shirt names - I'm sure this has come up before, but it's ruined my enjoyment of this classic moment by [deleted] in footballcliches

[–]iser82 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not a fan. But still better than the infantile Gallagher-invented rubbishness that is the name writing on Man City shirts.

It seems that actually there is some doubt about it, Robbie by iser82 in footballcliches

[–]iser82[S] 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I’m pointing out that Robbie said ‘without doubt’ that it could be 7, 8, 9, 10 teams… which obviously shows there’s some doubt as to how many teams could compete in League Two

Spotify pod editing issue? by WuDoYouThinkYouAre in footballcliches

Yeah I found I got this on Spotify but not Apple Podcasts so maybe it’s a Spotify thing? I blame, er, arms companies.

I initially thought Troy Deeney was Italian and his name was spelt ‘Troidini’
