Liverpool first, soccer next.
If you were Niall, what words or phrases would you ban from the football forum?
- Thread starter Fortitude
- Start date
So just three kinds, then? What about holding midfielder, box to box midfielder, metronome (is that it?)/playmaker etc?
I feel these terms (among others) while they do come across as pretentious actually serve a relevant purpose of being able to describe midfielders who are different from other midfielders. I mean, do gamers want all classes of characters in RPGs to be called 'warriors' or do they prefer different classes for builds that have different skills?
"That'll be our rb/lb sorted for years". It does my head in.
Nerds will insist on their Paladins or Bards or Rogues being correctly named but everyone else will just thinks its nerdy overkill. Same with trequaristas and registas.
The nerds are correct but "normals" will always snigger at nerds.
..... at best
I used to not like using these terms despite knowing them but the reality is that when you are not talking about 442 football, you will quickly find yourself in a situation where roles are vastly different and it's a pain to describe them when you can just use a terms that does it for you. Italians have been the heart of football tactics, they love it and have an extended vocabulary for it.
Also people should remember that for example the term "box to box" has traveled beyond British borders.

Fraud is one i'd ban, it's used by clowns with no grip on reality.
"Toxic"
Normals are more clueless.
There are discussions where the use of italian terms is merited.
Christ, I'd have a post count of 6 if it wasn't for green smilies.
Oh of course. This is an online football forum so people should feel free to nerd out as much as possible.
Low block.
It's annoying.

"Low on confidence"
"Away goals count double"
Well, no, I would never ban that gem of a sentence.

I'd ban all of them, and make everyone communicate with pictures.
I don't understand how twat is fine, yet cnut has to be spelt in the way I just spelled it and that makes it all OK. Both words should warrant a ban.
Makes sense coming from an Arsenal supporter.

The whinging of "They were there for the taking" about teams that maybe under-performed, but were in no way, shape or form just "there for the taking"

“Meh”
“That game was meh”. “He’s a bit meh”.
Just use a real word(s) for describing something.

What, that's the best word on the forum hands down. It has so many usages.
Any posts about Ed Woodward.
The amount of cretins here that think they can judge how well he is doing, despite having absolutely no knowledge whatsoever what he is responsible for on the day-to-day is fecking mind-boggling.

I've never seen it used but does seem a bit too American
