Cliche football sayings


Recommended Posts

"What this game needs is a goal."

Talk about stating the obvious, if it's a dull game and neither team are playing well. It's natural that a goal would spark things, but commentators say it when sides are playing well too. That is just very frustrating to me.

You're trained to avoid using certain phrases and words repeatedly, it's difficult. I used to feel irritated by some comments, but now I realise that words are spoken that quickly that these sayings are often the first things that come to mind. Some will naturally be said, issue is with those with poor communication or are just bad at punditry.
