I also think you'd be incredibly surprised at the amount of top flight defenders who never look over their shoulder.

Nah my team mates where beyond help, I agree with the mindgames stuff though.

From a youth level though, it seems to help them keep track of the player. I liken it to trying to keep a number in your mind whilst doing something else, not very easy, but if you hold up that number of fingers you can do something else all day.

I dont mean hold your arm at 90 degrees at a player, but "holding him" even when your not touching him does seem to help! Anyway I'm not a real coach so I coukd be wrong!

The shouting at the ref is hilarious at lower levels.

At one point during a game last year, a player on the opposing team felt there was a foul in an aerial duel involving a teammate of his just outside the box. He shouted out abuse, while simultaneously unleashing a perfect volley into the top corner from 20 yards from the flick on, before immediately chasing the ref as he ran towards the halfway line for the kick off, calling him all sorts.

'Put a name on it' pointed out by robo earlier on. It's actually a good shout, but no one actually uses it..which then leads to 'Put a name on it you cunts, stop running after the same ball'.

Though I did hear a particularly good set of shouts a few weeks back from a wellwisher of the football club from the sidelines. This chap, quite boisterous in his verbal assault of the other side was bellowing out instructions to the side. 'Midfield get tight you knobjockeys, don't drop off him he's running through ya'..'Where's the midfield?!'..'Where's the shout'.

He then proceeded to in one breath bellow out quite magnificently at the top of his lungs, 'Guys, Kings & St Thomas' Hospitals Football Club, you've got nothing to brag about you pack of lazy cunts, they're pissing all over you and they're fucking wank..you're all fucking shit'. I don't know whether this spurred us on to put 5 past them..they do help I suppose.

Brilliant blog that was.

One that hasn't been mentioned is "If in doubt, get it OUT!"

I think we need to make some new shouts, the current ones are rubbish.

"To the sword" - Let's get something from this good play.

"Attack the Space" - Self-explanatory

From playing football here and in France, one of the main difference I've noticed is how little shouting goes on over there. It's only really the captain who is expected to make a noise, everyone else just bobs along quietly.
