@oilysailor You can generally tell everything you need to know about someone as to whether they find this guy hilarious or think he’s an utter prick.

@RetroShirtsFC You have looked into my soul 😂😮💨 this must be how I rank these and I never knew it until this thread. Enjoyed that a lot 👏🏼

@FootballCliches Need an adjudication on where this sits on your usually excellent “football in soaps” spectrum

We're recording FOOTBALL CLICHES on Wednesday and it's the midweek Adjudication Panel... Send in your questions, observations and reports of crimes against football-linguistic humanity — via here, there, DM, email, Reddit, etc — for the panel's scrutiny/enjoyment. Cheers!

@stusfootyflash I wasn’t at least half an episode on this @FootballCliches
English
It’s half-time in the big match between The Queen Vic and Gracefield Athletic Sports & Social Club back in 1995.
The players and Nigel the gaffer finally agree on the same tactics.
Surely there’s only one winner now…?
English
@FootballCliches @FootballCliches bet you can’t find anything on these 👀 (actually, I’m almost certain you will). Might be more of a challenge, being pencil drawings, as could theoretically be totally made up.
Also, how fabulously 90s are these? Uncovered when clearing out my parents loft.

Barcelona vs Man Utd, 2009 Champions League final

@FootballCliches can you find this game that’s featured on one of my clients portfolio on his site 🤔

@FootballCliches Off the back of the Klopp news, is there a uniqueness to the language of a mid-season-stepping-down-at-the-end-of-the-season-announcement, or is the sample size too small? What would you expect/not expect to hear in one?

We're recording 𝗙𝗢𝗢𝗧𝗕𝗔𝗟𝗟 𝗖𝗟𝗜𝗖𝗛𝗘𝗦 on Monday, it's the broadly pro-magic 𝐴𝑑𝑗𝑢𝑑𝑖𝑐𝑎𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛 𝑃𝑎𝑛𝑒𝑙 and we're primed for your leftfield theories and your unorthodox queries about the language of football and beyond...
Get in touch!

@maxrushden @guardian_sport @JohnBrewin_ @Towno10 @_JordanJBryan Have any of the panel been #brave enough to throw and apple into a bin before?

@RobTemple101 I am with you here! Iron for weddings and funerals, that’s it.
Tbf, I probably subconsciously picked a career that would require no ironing!
English
Is anyone out there still ironing? Is ironing still a thing? I was brought up to believe adult life would involve a lot of ironing, but simply hanging stuff up seems to work just fine.

@FootballCliches Cara’s impeccable “at times like this, some things are bigger than football” in relation to Luis Diaz equaliser 👌🏼
Obviously not funny, but actual kidnapping seemed one of the more random uses for this phrase 🤔 any advance on a more niche one?

@culturaltutor The most fascinating to me is Valencia’s Turia Riverbed Park. This was created after the river was diverted due to flooding. Turia Park is a thriving, communal green space for so many city dwellers.

@WhistleblowingT Pretty sure people are only doing it with consent. From Y10 upwards, they can give/withdraw their own photo consent.
English
Been saying this for ages💯 They’re coming at it from the view of elite teams, sharing the emphasis around all positions. I agree with all of that.
But for me, it’s just so disengaging to the casual fan, the “man in the street” who they should be looking to enthuse about rugby
Virgin Media Sport@VMSportIE
Scrum discussion: 🗣 "By giving a penalty where you can take 3 points or kick for touch and maul, you are incentivising scrummaging to get the penalty!" 🗣 "World Rugby have to make a decision. Do we want the scrum to be the focal point of our game?" #ENGvRSA #RWC2023

@FootballCliches @ThomHarris_ The landscaper working nextdoor has a Fiat Fullback and it got me thinking… if X is the most Rolls Royce midfielder/defender… who is the most Fiat Fullback? Does this work for any other positions? Full XI please 😂🤞🏼
English
As Rolls-Royce's lawyers finally crack & launch a lawsuit against a cookware company for using the tagline "The Rolls-Royce of pans", we must finally ask, with the help of data ace @ThomHarris_ ...
Who is the Premier League's definitive Rolls-Royce?

@RE8ECCA_C @RUDDINGTON_info @StockpickB @RuddingtonPC I did wonder what it would look like from your side, after seeing these photos from the golf club. Same brook, just other side of the road. Flooded the 17th.
Hope all your houses are alright 🤞🏼

@StockpickB @RuddingtonPC @RUDDINGTON_info Needed waders to take a walk on the path around our lovely new 'public open space' near the brook yesterday🦆

You know it’s really bad weather in Rudd when streets in and round the village can’t cope, if anyones affected see below.
Cllrs Jen, Mike & Graham@ruddcllrs
If you are experiencing flooding at home call 0115 981 9911 (M-F, 8:30-5pm) or 0115 981 1143 outside normal office hours. For general flooding advice visit rushcliffe.gov.uk/flooding

@Sarah_Jayne1981 My courses are entirely paperless now (BTEC Sport and CNAT Sport Studies), so my feedback is all done on Microsoft Teams. Far more efficient than the old days 💪🏼🔥
English
@FootballCliches Yeah awful when they do this 🤮 TdF Unchained and Full Swing were bad for it. Employ a guy with a similar accent and voice, but it doesn’t pass the test.
