Moscow01 Posted September 26, 2022 Posted September 26, 2022 Why is it that self-important club officials so often feel the need to say “I want to place on record’? By saying it, and your club putting it on their website and social media channels, it is on the record. You don’t need to actually say that damn thing. Winds me up no end.
SJD Posted September 26, 2022 Posted September 26, 2022 "Play the balls", there's only one ball. I'm sure my English Master would know the proper grammar, but having said that he died about 40 years ago so I can't ask him.

RigbyLuger Posted September 26, 2022 Posted September 26, 2022 Commentators who say thinks like "double pump" because they've heard it on the NRL.
Richard de la Riviere Posted September 26, 2022 Posted September 26, 2022 “Fifth and last” should either be “fifth and penultimate” or “sixth and last” given there are six tackles in a set!
DavidM Posted September 26, 2022 Posted September 26, 2022 Tucked it under his wing D in an over clever way like defence is so hard to say Warren Smith in Oz saying the ‘kick is too big ‘ Oz commentators who say reeepeat set commentators who say ‘ oh they’re up for this ‘ after a couple of tackles when we’ve played 30 seconds On a more general note , sports commentators who say ‘ he’ll be disappointed with that ‘ . They all do it , it’s like being critical but not wanting to sound critical . Can we not ban that phrase? There are set fluffy lines they throw out … I watched a golfer hit an 8 on a par 3 over the weekend and the commentator said ‘ not what he would have wanted there ‘ . Really , no sugar sherlock . Or the batsman with three ducks in a row and the commentator says ‘ he’s not having the best time lately ‘ . ‘ Not his best effort ‘ is another
JohnM Posted September 26, 2022 Posted September 26, 2022 I'd like to place on record that the most annoying phrase is.... St.Helens. Bernard Manning lives! Welcome to be New RFL, the sport's answer to the Wheeltappers and Shunters Social Club.
Dunbar Posted September 26, 2022 Posted September 26, 2022 You don't here it too much in Rugby League yet and I hope we don't hear it more but I hate it when a commentator says "are you kidding me!" after every decent play. "The history of the world is the history of the triumph of the heartless over the mindless." — Sir Humphrey Appleby. "If someone doesn't value evidence, what evidence are you going to provide to prove that they should value it? If someone doesn't value logic, what logical argument could you provide to show the importance of logic?" — Sam Harris

metallithrax Posted September 26, 2022 Posted September 26, 2022 The one that really gets me is "2/3/4 score lead" etc. In their eyes a 2 score lead is 12 points, but the minimum number of scores needed to pull back 12 points is 3. I know what they are getting at, but it is incorrect and it annoys me.
