There are some phrases football seems littered with with make no sense at all and are just irritating as a result. My latest hate is the phrase 'tried to play in the right way' and variations on that theme. As if anyone sets out to play in the wrong way, and what exactly is the 'right' way anyway? It's just hot-air b*llocks to fill some time on the TV, and to save whoever's said it from actually thinning about what they're going to say.
What other phrases p*ss people off? |  | | |  |

It really annoys me when commentators use words that aren't in their vocabulary and try to shoehorn them into nonsensical definitions.
If you believe football comementators a namesake is someone who just happens, for any reason or none, to have the same name as someone else.
I've also heard some use momentarily to mean soon, and disinterested to mean uninterested. I've heard players demonstrate a better knowledge of English than some commentators. |  | | |

On the subject of penalties, so many commentators mention clear goalscoring opportunities, as if that has any bearing on whether a penalty should be given rather than relating to whether there should be a red card.
Also handball. I'm fed up with hearing commentators saying that something's not hand ball when the player clearly gained control of it and won possession for his team following the ball hitting an arm that he'd spread out before the ball was played in his direction. If you don't want to give a way a hand ball, keep your arms by your sides, and if the ball still hits them you have to let it roll away from you.
I sometimes think that commentators help shape the rules, or at least referees' interpretations of them when they continue to perpetuate misconceptions of the rules. | | | |
