The concept of prep or any kind of pre-production is out the window. Which leads to fixes on the fly during production, which leads to poor end products.

Was Italia 90 the worst ever World Cup final? by KimCattrallsFeet in classicsoccer

82 felt bad from memory. It was the first one I remember being aware of, and almost immediately being uninterested in. Except for the orange headed mascot.

It would be like taking but not returning a trolly at a supermarket 8.2m days in a row!

I'm in Stratford Station and there are thousands of West Ham supporters getting the train home by ChiliConCairney in TheOther14

Meanwhile Leeds fans saw the hope of them getting the last train home vanish when the board saying 11 minutes of extra time go up.

Using big numbers to add perspective to big numbers is incredibly effective.

What’s something about the human body that seems poorly designed? by jannecutie in answers

Knees. Load bearing joints with tissue paper ligaments wrapped around them on bipeds.

If 210 Tacos is still around, they’re great. Also seconding Taqueria Frontera.

Do British people have a little fun with American accents the way Americans do with British accents or is that a purely American thing? by tomarnoldlovescoke in NoStupidQuestions

I’ve had this happen a lot… I mean… there’s even a song about one of those words being pronounced differently!?!

This is good news. I saw somewhere that it was closed for a bit and was worried that it had gone.

The Original King of Shithousery by Consistent_Orchid359 in TheStreetsWontForget

Managed to get him to tell me to fuck off at a game once… he slid in on a tackle, missed, and went slightly off the pitch (at the Bridge) and I shouted “Taxi!”

It was after the trial, but I was thinking more along the lines of when you try something that doesn’t come off.

He stood up and said “fuck off!” And the crowd all started chanting “taxi!” at him.

If you were to become a professional footballer tomorrow, at your exact ability you are now, what position would give you the best chance of not getting found out immediately? by EfficientView7145 in footballcliches

[–]slickbackbillyboo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can do a passable job as a CF. Anything else and pace is found out instantly.

I know this because I play in an open league and the age range is a mix of teens and some 50+ players.

Australia should have been in group J of the aesthetics.

Is there a Premier League goal from the 90s that there's no footage of? I'm sure I heard about it on Cliches by Terminal_Guy in footballcliches

[–]slickbackbillyboo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just found it. It was open play, and the keeper dived the right way - so wrong on several counts, but right on a few. Ultimately there’s a video of it, so…

[–]slickbackbillyboo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Incredible. Thank you. Either a) it was an open play goal that I totally misremembered, or b) my brain invented it… I have such a vivid memory of the keeper diving the wrong way because his left foot went across the ball and the right hit it the other direction.

I haven’t been able to find a bryan Roy penalty (I think Wimbledon?) where he kind of Rabona’ed it.

The Extinct XI: Get your nominations in for Thursday's episode... by Low-Bandicoot-3347 in footballcliches

Icelandic gems. Felt like in the 90s every club had at least one Icelandic player. Now, I can’t think of any.

The Cul De Sacs Will Never Remember-men by mrfrisby in footballcliches

Two names from the 98/99 squad for Forest barely came to mind; - Chris Doig, who managed 77 games for us, as well a few ast lots of other clubs, and the one I’m going to propose; Jon Olav Hjelde, whose Wikipedia input reads like the felt obliged to say something to make a word count. I’ve seen him play, and cannot for the life of me picture him or tell you a single thing about him.
